To whom it may concern:
This is a testimonial for Fred Carver who served as our realtor in a recent purchase. Fred was steady and could be counted upon to do what he said he would do. He hung in there with us while we looked for a particularly difficult property to find. We were looking for an acreage with suitable buildings on it at a price which was lower than most of the properties in the class. He persisted in informing us of possibilities and then was able to suggest a place which turned out to be above our expectations. His knowledge of the market served us well and he never failed to do the work required to complete the transaction successfully. I would recommend Fred to anyone who needed a conscientious, competent real estate agent .Paul W. Newman
To whom it may concern,
My husband & I had the pleasure of meeting Fred when we hired him to sell our house. We have had many Realtors over the years, but Fred Carver was the best. He was very professional & friendly. He kept in close contact with us, which we found very satisfying. He worked very hard for us & as a result our home was sold within a month. We had been trying to sell it for 2 years, so it was our good fortune to have Fred for our Realtor. We would recommend him to anyone who wants to sell their home fast & with courteous professionalism. Sincerely, Charles & Millicent Buckley
Fred brought several positive characteristics to the table when selling our Condo:
1. He was very familiar with the building, as he had been involved with the development of the land, and had sold some units in the past,
2. He lived nearby and was able to show the Condo at short notice,
3. He was able to recommend a competent man to do some rennovations and painting on short notice,
4. He was also able to obtain a plumber instantly, an extraordinary feat,
5. He was personable, friendly, competent and persuasive when dealing with a difficult purchaser! Allan & Julia
The beginnings of the sale of our home went smooth, quick and easy with Fred bringing through just the right purchaser after a careful inspection of our home. In our busy lives today, it's nice to have a realtor who pre-approves the right clients for the home. Just one visit and both parties were content with a fair sale . When a few timeline changes came up unexpectedly, Fred worked quickly to come up with adjustments that would suit both parties. We spell relieve "Fred Carver" Thanks , The Tuit's
Dear Fred,
I want to thank you for being so great to deal with in the listing and sale of my home. Your enthusiasm and expertise in handing all the details instilled in me the confidence that I was being very well looked after and had someone in my corner who was well experienced and respected. This enabled me to feel at peace with listing my home at this time and I am very happy with the outcome. Even our building manager was very impressed with you. I highly recommend you to anyone wishing to buy or sell knowing they were getting the best realtor they could possibly get!!

By all accounts we are difficult clients. We think we know what we want, but ultimately since our decision is based on 'instinct' we tend to be all over the map when it comes to house hunting. Normally we would go through months and months of open houses before actively involving a realtor in our madcap ways, but because we were from out of town, it was necessary to secure one at the beginning. Enter Fred. With the patience that can only be learned from years of experience, he indulged our requests to see homes that (he knew even before we looked at them) would most likely be a 'no' before we walked through the door.
Having been born and raised in Victoria he knew every corner of the city but perhaps what we appreciated the most, was his willingness to tell us when a home was overpriced.Curiously when we found the 'right' property - we both knew it instantly, but we hesitated. Perhaps it was living at a distance - hard to say. Fred seemed to know before we did. By the time we had visited the home for the third time, (and countless times online) as we drove away, it hit us. This was our 'home'. Fred put the paperwork together, negotiated the best deal possible, crossed the 't's' and dotted the 'i's' and we are now the proud owners of a fabulous house.
Fred was very easy to spend time with, professional and knowledgeable. He is also very good with children and by the time all was said and done our little one had decided that she 'loved'
Fred. We truly enjoyed our house hunting experience and would highly recommend him!
Best regards, Marlene & Phillip
