Testimonials

Thank you so much for all of your help and support during this experience. You have worked so hard and I want you to know how much we appreciate all that you have done.

Barrie Macloud and Cathie Sinclair

My husband and I met Clair years ago as we are self admitted ‘open house crashers’. Her kind and gracious manner always impressed us so we knew she’d be our realtor when the time came. What we learned, working with Clair, is that she is more than ‘a realtor’. She possesses the unique ability to put you at ease during the stressful and emotional time of buying and/or selling your home. Not only does she have exceptional interpersonal skills, she has the savvy and knowledge behind every transaction she deals with. She is a calculated and intelligent negotiator while at the same time working with her clients to find the ‘numbers’ suited to them. We admire her strong yet sensitive and sensible approach and know that these are unique qualities for the business she is in. In addition, Clair has been actively involved in helping us embark on building our new home, from design ideas to smart choices that save us valuable dollars. She is keen and invested in what her clients are doing and strives to help them even after the deals have closed.  When you have Clair Rockel working with you, you will not be disappointed. This woman delivers, and then gives you more. A truly committed realtor who we recommend emphatically!

Lucia & Colin Lawrence

Whenever we think of the time that surrounded the purchase of the place we fell in love with, Clair comes to our mind. Not only she provided timely, wise, and insightful advise and guidance -with a balanced blend of professional attitude, sense of humor and positive disposition-, but she also played the most critical role in a very challenging situation (a rare occasion on sale, multiple offers, a time-pressured situation). During those stressful, overwhelming, and uncertain times we even thought we might end up not getting the place of our dreams; yet we were certain that if we were to have a chance it would be with Clair on our side.

Veronica and Fidel

Clair is amazing. She sold our house for a competitive price during a very challenging period in the market and was instrumental in purchasing our dream home. Clair kept us on track during an overwhelming period in our lives with her professional approach, positive attitude and great sense of humour. She truly went above and beyond our expectations and it was reassuring to have her in our corner.

E & S West

Clair was just great.  A brilliant combination of personable and knowledgeable.  She's also a great negotiator.  For a couple of property virgins, this was an effortless process.  And from the very first day, moving into our new place has been like coming home.  Thanks Clair!

Cathie Cleveland, John Aveline, Laurel & Hester

We felt so blessed to have Clair as our realtor for both the sale of our duplex and the purchase of our new home. She was professional, attentive, trustworthy, candid, knowledgeable, fun and savvy. Clair consistently went beyond the call of duty and provided amazing personal service. I felt that she always had our best interests at heart and truly wanted to see us in the right home. Our new house was purchased in a very competitive bidding war and it was primarily due to Clair's strategy and advice that our offer was accepted.  She is an exceptional and very talented realtor who cares about her clients.

Samantha Legge

Here's some great information for anyone buying or selling: Clair helped us sell our home at a time when very few houses were selling. She is truly amazing! Not only did she sell our home, she got us a great deal on the townhouse we bought. The scary market situation wasn't as scary with Clair on our side.

Erik & Doris Benson

Highly efficient, professional and personable...these adjectives don't do you justice, Clair.  I am so indebted to you for all the effort you put into selling our house - and selling it well - even in this difficult market.  I recommend you without any reservation whatsoever to anyone looking for a highly competent realtor with a fantastic personality to boot!

Myriam Brulot

After 2 very long and frustrating years of trying to “move-up” in the Cambie Real estate market we were finally able to make the move with Clair.  We had previously worked with another agent who was unable to understand our needs or find the right place for us.  Before the sale of our home, Clair made several suggestions for minor repairs and touch-ups to make the property more attractive, and referred us to some professionals who were able to do the jobs quickly and for a reasonable fee.  Clair was always very professional and delivered on our long and challenging wish list.  She was able to negotiate exceptionally well for us both as buyers and sellers.  We never felt any pressure from Clair and trusted her advice.  After we “moved up” we unfortunately had some major issues with our new home, Clair helped us tremendously during that period and went above and beyond the scope of her role as real estate agent to help us.  We have since referred other friends to Clair and they too have been very successful in the world of real estate!

Tanya and James Fairweather

Thanks for the great advice, motivation, contacts and hard work you put into selling our townhouse and purchasing our new home. It was invaluable. 

Cec and Reg

Clair Rockel recently represented us both on the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. Clair's service was everything anyone could ask. She was friendly, paid attention to detail, was completely forthright, followed up immediately on every issue, continued to support us after the completion of the sale and kept a sense of humour through it all. Thanks.

Mariko and Paul Henderson

Buying a new home is scary for anybody, but especially for a 1st time buyer.  From getting me into the apartment before the actual open house to helping with strata and renovation questions after the sale, Clair was there every step of the way.  She has made what many would find as nerve wracking and stressful to be an exciting and fun experience. I would recommend Clair to anybody. Thanks Clair!

Lisa Whalen

I have dealt with many realtors and bought and sold many places.  Clair is by far the most deliciously aggressive, "make it happen" realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with.  I highly recommend her to anyone considering purchasing or selling their home.

Tyler Barrs, Barrister & Solicitor

We have known Clair for three years now, and she has proven to us that she has our best interests in mind.  Clair helped us enter the market, sell with a better than average profit a year later, and make the jump into a home that fits.  Even with our modest budget, Clair has given us her total commitment.  Her energy and persistence carried us through some difficult times in the challenging Vancouver real estate scene. Her negotiation skills, and intuition, gave us an advantage especially in situations where time was of the essence. Her knowledge of Vancouver neighbourhoods and their character is impressive.  Driving around the city looking for a home was actually a fun experience.

R.Hunsperger/ R. Lajoie

After two years of disappointment, three different agents and 11 failed offers, we had essentially given up hope of ever having a home for our family in Vancouver.  Just as we had given up, we found Clair. Within a few months we had completed a painless offer on a house that was beyond our wildest dreams. We are now living in our favourite neighbourhood and have all of the home features on our real estate “wish list”.  We can’t thank Clair enough for finding us this property and we would recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling in Vancouver. She is a pro!

Kate and Andy Milne

Clair was able to find a hidden gem overlooked by other agents due to a MLS listing error.  We were able to act very quickly to close the deal and I am very happy with the service provided by Clair.

CY Tay

Clair, Thank you again for all your hard work. Your knowledge and support made all the difference in the world! I knew NOTHING about buying when we were looking for our first home and you were there every step of the way explaining the process and putting us at ease. Not only did you quickly find the perfect place for us to start our family, but in the area we wanted and in our price range! You were an amazing asset to us from beginning to end and we would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a new home.

Keri-Anne and Scott Livingstone

Clair is in da house! Well actually she was in our house, and she was amazing! Few things in life are as stressful as selling your home, and Clair was able to help us through the entire process with both professionalism and humour, an essential balance rare in most people. We haven’t even moved into our new home yet, but one of the first things that crossed my mind was, “when we do move in, I want Clair to sell it!”

Mark Breakspear

Dear Clair, Thank you for all of your assistance in finding us our “perfect” home.  We appreciate all of your patience, advice and knowledge while finding our home.  We often had a blank look on our face and you always patiently explained everything to us – we really appreciated that!
