I've known Gloria for years and I can truly say no one will work harder for you in helping you find your dream home or in selling yours so you can start the next adventure. Gloria is extremely professional and community minded - she went the distance to make sure my needs were met. Her dedication and love for the business is clear, her sole purpose is to make sure you are
happy and that shines through at every step. Gloria made my experience this past year purchasing a home a breeze, her attention to detail allows clients to breathe easier through the process, believe me nothing is ever missed. I would not hesitate to recommend Gloria to anyone. I know that whenever I need a realtor Gloria Santa Cruz will be my realtor of choice.

Gloria lived a lifetime in Chilliwack, and offered her intimate point of view. She gave us an honest version of Chilliwack with a personal touch. Gloria gave us exactly what we were looking for in the budget we had. She even stood up for us when it came to
overlooked issues. She was more like family while looking at listings, putting herself in our shoes. Accessing her at almost all hours made us feel important. We are telling everyone about her and her awesome service.

Extremely knowledgeable, patient and always available on a busy schedule. Kyle sold my wife and I our first new house in 2009; it was a show home for the development in the area and we fell in love with it. Most new homes always sell for the listing price plus tax, Kyle managed to get $1,000 off the listing price - that was a bonus!. Last year Kyle spent a lot of time with us looking for a new home and we shy'd away when Covid started. We just started looking at houses again over the past couple months and we're cautiously looking for that right house in this crazy market. What I like about Kyle as a realtor is his ability to observe our likes/dislikes in a home and he find houses to look at that fit our preferences (especially considering how my wife and I are so different in what we want in a house). I know my wife will agree on that perfect house one day and working with Kyle has bee great!

Gloria is an outstanding real estate agent. She is prepared, extremely knowledgeable and a true professional. My parents are seniors and wanted to sell their home, Gloria is the only person I trusted to lookout for their best interest. She made sure they got top dollar for their home and treated them like her own family. My father fell very ill during the process and the empathy she showed demonstrated her ability to humanize the experience and put my parents needs first. I live in another province and even with the time difference, Gloria always kept me up to date. Her work ethic and commitment is second to none. I have very high expectations of the professionals I work with and I would not hesitate to recommend Gloria to anyone looking to sell their home.

Chris and his team have been amazing to work with. They helped us find and purchase our first investment property in Chilliwack. We found Chris extremely knowledgeable, approachable and pro-active. He also saved us from entering into a bad deal and helped us find the right property that fit perfectly within our budget and checked all other boxes. We highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell their property. Chris and Rochelle, we would love to work with you again. Thank you for going above and beyond for us!

Chris was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He shared his marketing approach and plan from the beginning to the end including pictures, video and dates of open house and dates to accept offers. He was thorough, and provided insight and advise, when presenting buyers offers. I recommend Chris as a realtor for a positive and stress free experience.

Dear Steven, I am a little late in the writing to thank you for handling the sale of my house so capably.
I did appreciate your concern and the way you dealt with the interest buyers. Patti and Diane also expressed their gratitude and felt that you looked after my interests very well indeed. I hope that Hally and Bill are settling into their new home and will enjoy it as much as David and I did. I hope too, that you will drop by Edenbank and see where I am now situated. Still among boxes, but eventually it will be home! I am glad that David was able to buy this place with me. I know he would have been happy here. Good luck with all your future endeavors Steven, and believe me when I say that you are an excellent salesman with the perfect temperament to look after your clients. With my grateful thanks!

I would not hesitate to recommend Gloria’s services to any home buyers or sellers in the Chilliwack area. Speaking from my experience of working with her as a Mortgage Broker on transactions, I see a skill level, work ethic, and professionalism that are rarely matched in the industry and she adds a great amount of attention to achieving the best results that are in the client’s best
interest.

We were so impressed with Shane’s attention to detail, his commitment to his word and his professionalism. He continues to honour our requests even when the deal is done. Shane has also sold 3 other residences for our family and they too have been impressed with the process. The part of the process I admired the most was the story of our daughter’s move to acreage in Mission. On the day of the move to their house, Shane was there to greet them and to make sure all went as planned. He even went head to head with a bear that was foraging around the house! As well when home inspectors came to fulfill their part of the contract, Shane was there to supervise. I would highly recommend Shane as a realtor as he has been able to convince us to put our trust in his sales process. Thank-you Shane!

I didn’t take the vetting processes of picking a brokerage lightly when I became a REALTOR. My goal was to find the right fit for me while having a brokerage with a solid reputation in the market guiding me. I brought with me over 25 yrs of sales and marketing experience in other fields and I knew it was going to be critical for a successful real estate career to partner up with a brokerage that check every one of my expectations.
Having interviewed many of the brokerages in town – some more than once – and sitting in on team meetings and interviewing various agents, I found RLP Wheeler Cheam to be the right fit. I looked past the fancy offices and massive realtor base and dug to the heart of what made each brokerage operate. Walking through the office and meeting many of the agents at RLP, I could see the professionalism the agents had and they were and still are willing to share their knowledge with you.

Chris is the best!! Any buyer or seller would be lucky to have him on their side. We were limited in time to find the perfect home for our family and Chris made us feel like we were his first priority. He took the time to really understand what we were looking for. It was a real pleasure to look at different options on the market with him and he wasn't hesitant to share his thoughts and recommendations based on his experience and amazing knowledge of the Chilliwack area. We were guided and supported through every step of the process. Chris not only treated us like valuable clients, but as friends! He is a very professional realtor with integrity and a wonderful person. We found the perfect home for our family! We highly highly recommend Chris!!

When my parents and my husband and I decided to sell and buy, we were overwhelmed with the process and had very specific needs in buying our future house. After our first meeting with Nick, we immediately felt reassured and confident that our goals could be met when both selling and buying. Nick's professionalism and knowledge was very helpful, as was his honesty and flexibility. He was not only a phenomenal realtor during the experience, he also became a friend over the many visits and months we spent together. We are so very fortunate to have worked with Nick and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy!

Chris was very personable and easy to work with. He went out of his way to help us find a home and was always available to answer our many questions. Being new to Chilliwack Chris showed us around the town with a lot of valuable advice on nieghborhood. Chris also is very knowledgable when it comes to market conditions and formulating strategies to put an offer and how to price the offer. His strategy of bully offer was instrumental in ending our house hunt and landing the house that we wanted in a very handsome price. I would recommend Chris to the max Rating submitted April 29, 2021

If you’re buying or selling a house, Nick is exceptional and who you want on your side. We’ve been luck enough to work with Nick twice, buying and selling in two completely different markets. Both experiences Nick made the process quick and easy through his commitment and responsiveness to every situation. He listens and cares about his clients, and understands what our homes mean to us. We are truly thankful for all your hard work and dedication Nick! You are #1 in our books!

I am extremely impressed with Kyle's professionalism and patience. After having three other realtors come by and give me quotes on what I should list my house for, I was feeling discouraged and downright poorly about my house. I bought my house when I was a lot younger and never had the money to pay for renovations but wanted to move back to the island to be with my family. The other realtors put down my house and suggested we list it for quite a bit less. Kyle right off the bat noticed the qualities of home old character home and saw the potential about it. He understands older homes and has a fondness for them and I really appreciated that in his service. I have another property in Chilliwack and when it comes time to sell I would 100% use him again.

I went through 3 realtors before I found Sophie, and she was hands down the best out of the 3 that I previously worked with.
What separated Sophie from the rest was her calm demeanor and no pressure attitude. Even though she's relatively new in the industry, she carries herself with a lot of poise and maturity. This was my very first home purchase so I was very nervous, and did not care for any salesmanship. I just wanted someone who had my best interests in mind, and the assurance that I'm not getting screwed over or taken advantage of. I decided to go with Sophie because I felt very comfortable, and she made me feel like I was a close friend as opposed to a client.
Being a first time home buyer I needed advice as opposed to a sales pitch. Sophie guided me throughout every stage of the process and made sure I understood what was going on. I did my homework and my own research, so I knew beforehand what I wanted to get into. Understanding this, Sophie kept a lookout for new listings and messaged me every time something new came up. The condo I ended up purchasing was found by Sophie.
When we went for the viewing she was very honest and straight up. The condo was listed below market price for the purpose of creating a bidding war. Therefore, it was going to go above the listed price. She called me the night before the listing agent was accepting offers to bring me up to speed and walk me through the ins and outs of putting in an offer. She told me the pros and cons of having certain subjects when putting in an offer, and let me make my own decision on how I wanted to proceed. In retrospect, had Sophie not called me that evening I would have lost out on the purchase and probably be still renting today.

Working with Gloria from day one was so easy, we fell into a really good friendship and she gave us lots of good advice in order to get the price that we wanted to get for our house. She was available for us at anytime of the day and answered all of our questions immediately. She worked really hard for us during our renovations for preparing to sell, suggesting subcontractors that we
needed, and they were amazing and reasonably priced. We listened to all of them and got above asking price within 18 hours of the house going on the market. Gloria Santa Cruz went above and beyond not just being a realtor, she was there every step of the way from beginning to end until after. Not only did she sell our house 18 hours after it went on the market, she was also our
realtor that helped us find our brand-new home and was patient with us during the whole process. She was fast and efficient and knowledgable! I couldn't have asked for a better realtor and I will definitely recommend her in the future and use her again.

We have nothing but good things to say about Shane and his support through every aspect of buying our condo. We are first time home buyers, everything felt a little overwhelming at the start, but Shane took the time to guide us through every step and relieve that stress. He was extremely informative and experienced, providing us with any extra tools to connect online and follow the market. Always open to answers any questions and would meet up in person to go over the fine details. Again, a big help when you're brand new to this. Not only is Shane knowledgeable in this field, he is personable and friendly. Pleasure to work with and would recommend to anyone. Will be using him in the future again :)

Here is a positive story for you all.
One of my Royal LePage colleagues, Denny Friesen received a floor call a few months ago from an elderly gentleman who wanted to sell his home. After chatting with him on the phone for some time he drove over to the property to do a CMA. What he found was a man who was "trapped" in his own home. Apparently, over some time this man's home had been overrun with drug dealers and squatters and because of his age and small stature was unable to fend them off. Denny took a look at the home, which had been destroyed, priced it properly, and got it sold within 2 weeks. So far a typical Realtor transaction, however, Denny didn't stop there. He helped the gentleman find a proper senior care home and worked with the bank on putting his money in a high-interest account. He paid for 2 giant garbage bins to be delivered to the property and enlisted the services of myself, another Realtor Wayne Temple, and a friend Paul. The four of us cleaned out the entire house from top to bottom. Garbage that was piled waste high, food rotting in the kitchen and closets. Endless amounts of needles. On a few occasions, I had to leave the house to get some fresh air because my lunch almost came up. Thankfully the people who are buying the house are gutting it. Now this elderly gentleman could have paid for this stuff on his own. He could have afforded to hire people to come and clean out his house. But Denny saw a man who was confused, scared, and didn't know what to do and he took it upon himself to take care of him. As of 2 days ago, he is in his new care facility, and the police have arrested one of the squatters who took over his house. I would like to give thanks to Denny for his kindness and for showing compassion to someone that needed help. For going above his "fiduciary

Chris helped us through every step of the way with buying a place. He knew what we were looking for and did not waste our time looking for something that was not for us.

From day 1 of meeting Gloria, she has gone above and beyond. Gloria brings a very positive atmosphere when buying/selling, and turns every negative into a positive (especially during the pandemic).

I told him my preferred style of communication and never had any trouble getting him on the phone.

So, what is it we really need in a Realtor.
I myself have bought and sold two homes with Denton. He sold a place for us when we moved out of town. He took care of all the details so even though we were 22 hours away we didn't have to worry about anything. When we decided to move back to CHILLIWACK he was our guy. He had places lined up for us to see that we're right in the range of what we wanted. It only took a day of looking to find the right house for us. It's perfect. You see that's what we wanted from a realtor. A person who listened to what we wanted who was fun to be around but serious about knowing all he could about our perspective home. He made our experience pleasant and fun not stressful. He was very good at knowing if we were interested in a house or not. He didn't try and waste time selling us the most expensive house but the right house. So for us what we wanted in a realtor was someone who was efficient, cared about what we wanted, honest, fun, worked diligently to find the right house for us, didn't waste time on place where we weren't feeling it, and most important for us he took care of all the details and took the stress of selling and then buying a home. Four years later, I called him because I had a bat that flew in my house. He came and got the critter out. Not your usual Realtor thing to do but you know, that's Denny. He genuinely cares about his clients he's honest and friendly he makes you feel comfortable and takes the stress and fear out of buying or selling a home. I wouldn't use any other realtor cause he's better than the best. Thank you Mr. Friesen for all your care and service. Denny is a very low-pressure, (who can work very well under high pressure!) calm, Realtor that makes you feel very confident in his abilities and awareness of the market. I've dealt with a lot of realtors over the years and I feel Denny is one who stands out strongly because he's got YOUR best interest at heart.

We couldn’t recommend Chris highly enough. We stumbled upon his page by chance and he reached out letting us know he’d be available to answer any questions we may have or if we would like more information on a listed property. Not knowing anything more about him, decided to read a few reviews once we were ready to begin actually viewing properties in person. The reviews all came back great and this is just another one for that column. We were very lucky to end up with Chris. Very genuine, professional, and knowledgeable. Was always available to answer questions. We will definitely use Chris’s services again in the future

We just bought our dream retirement home through Gloria. Because of her great negotiating and tactical pricing skills, we won the bidding war in this crazy market.
The whole process was so easy and fast that it took a week for it to sink in that we actually got a dream home for our retirement: perfect location, perfect layout for us, and perfect architectural design for us. It is real. Not a dream. She is extremely personable and pays a lot of attention to details, so we don’t have to worry about anything. She is also very knowledgeable about different
neighbourhoods in Chilliwack. So this really helped us to make a quick decision in this crazy market.
After we put down the deposit to complete the sales contract, we immediately phoned our former neighbours (who are very well known in Chilliwack) who recommended Gloria to us, to thank them and to tell them the great news. We are so thankful to them for so strongly recommending Gloria to us. We will no doubt recommend her to anybody who is looking for an agent.
Thank you, Gloria!!!!

We thank Gloria so very much for working so hard on our real estate deal. Gloria was pleasant and had a great sense of humour. Coming from Ontario, Gloria worked extra hard due to the distance and time changes. She included our daughters, helped find us a home, did a virtual tour for us, and kept us apprised all the time. She woke up very early just to communicate with us first thing in the morning, and kept our daughters up to speed. No difficult challenges she was faced with stopped her as she was able to overcome those obstacles. She was proactive and kept the deal together, so that we could have a home. She lined everything up for us so we didn't have to. She made it happen! She worked extra hard for us, and we are very thankful for her. We will not hesitate to recommend her to all we know looking for a real estate agent. We wish her all the very best. God bless.

He was professional, timely, and very personable. Nick went above and beyond in every aspect of our home purchase. Nick definitely stands out compared to other realtors we have used in the past

Gloria was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She was extremely friendly and personable, and was available at any time to happily answer any questions we had. She encouraged and helped us with prepping our home to sell, and went above and beyond with helping us stage the place, even lending us bar stools and some decorations to put the finishing touches on. By the end, we had a beautifully staged home with gorgeous photos, and Gloria negotiated a price that we were very happy with!
When it came to buying, she was again exceedingly helpful, always available to answer questions, make recommendations, and take us to look at places we wanted to see. She was always ready with advice and made sure we were happy with our decisions every step of the way. When we decided to put in an offer, she absolutely went above and beyond, making sure to read all the
paperwork thoroughly, and point out and follow up on any issues she found. She worked tirelessly right to the end to make sure she was getting us the best deal possible.
Gloria is sweet, funny, and very tenacious, and she is obviously passionate about helping her clients get the best experience and results possible. We have had a wonderful experience, and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to sell or buy in the Fraser Valley!

Dear Steve, Just a quick note to say thank you for everything you did to sell my parents home.
it is never easy losing the ones you love and it is even harder to let go of their possessions. But from the day I signed up with you I knew I was in good hands. Even though we only had the two offers, you and I were always on the same page when we were negotiating with the buyers. If I didn't understand the process you were always there to put it into simpler terms without making me feel stupid. Thank you for your patience when it came to my funny but inept abilities to scan and send documents back to you. Hopefully I will never have to do that again, but if I have to I think I can do it now, although I don't guarantee it. You are a great realtor Steve and the next time we have to deal with a realtor they will have a hard time to measure up to you.

Great realtor!
!! Very patient and not at all pushy. He really cares and wants to find the right house for you. And if he’s selling your home he’s never too busy to answer your questions. He always tries to get you the best price possible!!

Simply put, Kyle is the best. He has a no nonsense, honest approach. He will give you his opinion and recommendation but will take into account your needs and requirements. He genuinely cares about getting you what's best for you, and won't pressure you into something your not comfortable doing. Can't recommend highly enough...Thanks!

Chris was professional, polite and helpful through the whole process. He was accepting of calls after business hours, had a professional photographer take pictures (wonderfully done). He also had each room measured professionally, with a laser so each room had the right square footage. Chris had a drone flyover to get aerial views of the house, property and also the neighborhood. I would highly recommend Chris Gale as an amazing realtor for all he did for the sale of our home.
"
- Lynn
"
We met Chris at an open house. We didn't like the house but we asked him to help us with our house search because he was not pushy and we found him very knowledgeable. He knows the lower mainland really well and really took his time to find the perfect house for us. He was always available to talk and scheduled all house viewings promptly. We've been recommending his ever since we completed our purchase. This is our fifth house and we used a different realtor every time but we will be sticking with Chris from now on. Give him a try and you won't regret it.

When my brother and I came to sell our deceased mother’s house we chose Gloria because she had the best grasp of the rapidly changing market conditions. We got top dollar for the place which sold quickly for full asking price. Gloria was easy to talk to and always reachable. She went out of her way to keep us informed and well-advised throughout the process of clearing subjects, signing documents, and so on. If you are looking for a competent, pleasant, easy-to-access realtor, we highly recommend Gloria Santa Cruz.

This business has afforded me the opportunity to meet many amazing clients over the years.
I am proud to share with you what they had to say about their experience of having me as their agent. Dealing with Denny Friesen was a very satisfying experience. Having bought & sold many homes over the years, we found him very knowledgeable, ethical & able to answer all our questions. We were never pressured to make any choices & are very satisfied with what he found for us. He stuck to our want list & as a result, we are completely satisfied & would recommend him to anyone wishing to buy or sell in this area.
"

Shane was very personal and professional. He explained the process so there would be no unknowns. He reviewed current sales and timeframes. To me what is most important is connecting throughout the process keeping me in the loop and that he definitely did. Great transaction.

My wife and I were first-time homebuyers and had no idea what we were doing. From the moment we met Shane, we knew we were in good hands. Shane took the time to listen to our needs and preferences and showed us properties that were within our budget and met our criteria. Throughout the entire process, Shane was patient, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions. He walked us through each step of the home-buying process and made sure we understood everything. When we finally found the perfect place, Shane went above and beyond to help us secure it, and walked us through everything we needed to do to finalize and close. Thanks to Shane, we now have our first home! He made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. We are so grateful for his expertise, professionalism, and kindness. If you're in the market for a new home, we highly recommend working with Shane!

Such a joy to work with Chris. From the beginning to the end. So professional, kind, knowledgeable (the list goes on and on).

Would highly recommend him to everyone we know. Thank you for everything!

Chris is one of the hardest working agents I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with! If I ever had a question or concern he was there to take care of it for my wife and I. His communication skills and attention to detail were immaculate and response times were very quick. I haven’t dealt with many real estate agents in my life but after dealing with Chris I am glad to know that I won’t have to. Thank you so much for all that you've done.

We purchased our first home with Sophie! As new home buyers, Sophie was beyond helpful and patient, walking us through every step in the process in detail. She was honest and transparent in every interaction which is rare and truly appreciated. It was really important for us to feel a connection with our real estate agent and Sophie’s warm and positive demeanour made that easy! We learned quickly in the process just how genuinely committed she was to not only finding us a home, but the RIGHT home. We had a laundry list of “must haves” and Sophie quickly learned and prioritized each and every one. We can’t say enough good things and we will continue to use Sophie and recommend her to family and friends for any real estate needs!

As a first time home buyer & new to Chilliwack Shane was a godsend. He patiently explained the ins & outs of buying a home as well as navigating Chilliwack. He is so knowledgeable about the area as well as real estate, professional, prompt, always available, easy to talk to & seemed to anticipate questions before I asked them. He quite frankly held my hand from beginning to end.

I have been with Royal LePage Wheeler Cheam Realty for 15 years now, and I could not have picked a better brokerage to work with. The managements support has been amazing and the training is second to none. Our office is constantly innovating and providing an opportunity for growth. The office environment is great, and we have an excellent social network with lots of fun. The years of experience in this office has helped me become a top realtor in the office and community

Shane was great to work with during the purchase of our first home. His knowledge of the area was very helpful as we had not previously lived in Chilliwack. He was very personable, attentive to our wants and always there to explain the process if we had any questions. We would definitely recommend his services!
"
- Julie Simpson

Kyle was very professional and helpful. He really understands handling homes in gated communities and on native land. His advice was great and he kept me well informed and the process was so easy! I chose Kyle because I had used him to buy my home 7 years ago and he was wonderful, so I knew I would be in good hands to sell my place as well. And it sold in 4 days!

Shane helped walk us through a very busy hectic competitive market. He was professional, helpful, available and very friendly. We are not experts in this field and put us at ease to be able to have an expert to rely upon.
"
- Erin Nelson
"
We found Kyle looking online (no surprise), and we were so glad we picked him to sell our home and find our next home. His experience – combined with modern day social media tactics, and state of the art marketing tools – clearly put him in a category above the rest. Throughout the process, Kyle was transparent in sharing his strategies and past experience, which ultimately led to selling our home. On numerous occasions during walk-troughs, Kyle pointed out flaws, potential issues, and layout problems that we definitely would have missed. And probably most important, Kyle is a skilled negotiator. Negotiating price is not for the faint of heart, but this is why you need a great Realtor. Kyle pushed the envelope (outside our comfort zone), and it was worth it. We never felt pressured to buy. If it was important to us, that was all that mattered. He prioritized COUNTLESS walk-troughs for us, filtered out the time wasters, and we found a great place

Gloria was extremely helpful when selling our townhouse and buying a detached house. She had great advice as far as preparing our place for sale and was very easy to communicate with. I have 3 young children and was feeling overwhelmed- she understood my stress and was there for me. She was down to earth and honest. I could text or call her at anytime and received quick responses. She was great at getting us the most for our townhouse (MUCH more than we had originally thought) and also getting us a good deal
on a detached house. I would definitely use her again.

If you are looking for an experienced, thorough, and hardworking Realtor, I highly recommend Gloria Santa Cruz. When my elderly parents reached out to Gloria about moving, she immediately sent over many listings that were a perfect match to my parents’ needs. She was extremely patient when showing them places, and when they found the perfect match Gloria worked efficiently to get the best deal and moving dates for them. She worked well with the mortgage broker and lawyer to get the deal done within tight timelines and recommended an excellent cleaner and carpet cleaning company to get them ready for the move. Once my parents moved into their new place, Gloria immediately got their former place ready for listing with beautiful staging and had many viewings lined up on the first day. Gloria got multiple offers, and an accepted offer (above asking price!) on my parents’ townhome, within a few days of listing, and ensured the place remained secure and move-in ready for the new owners. Gloria communicated to me (the daughter) throughout the process to ensure I could also help my parents. When my parents were finally settled in their new place, Gloria presented them with a generous housewarming gift that they now enjoy every day. Gloria is thoughtful and works hard, always in the best interest of her clients. She is confident in her ability to find the best fit for her clients’ needs. I will continue to recommend Gloria to all my friends and family as the best choice for their home purchase and sale.
Thank YOU Gloria for your excellent service! My parents are so happy in their new home and it's given me piece of mind knowing they are in a safe place. If my Dad had a computer he would be shouting your praise all over social media!
"

Super professional, knowledgeable, easy to get a hold of, answered all my questions. I have recommended him and Royal LePage to several friends. Above and beyond expectations when buying my home.

Before retiring, I worked for 27 years for both the Federal Government and in Private Practice as a Certified Appraiser. Having appraised 1000's of homes to meet qualifying for mortgages, loans or legal purposes, I've had dealings with unprofessional Realtors. One becomes slightly dubious about having a realtor to assist in selling your valued home. Shane was direct, willing to listen and be flexible. After seeing his You Tube Video of our home, that sealed the contract. We hired the best. Staging was perfect.

I cannot thank Gloria Santa Cruz enough and I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling real estate! Gloria made the entire purchasing process easy and seamless.

Thank you Gloria for finding my family a home and making the transition so simple and stress-free! I will definitely be a returning client!

Gloria's thorough research and attention to detail gave me all the information I needed to make my purchase with confidence. She took care of me and guided me through every step of the process as I was totally unfamiliar with a real estate purchase. Her negotiation skills are second to none! She is a tenacious advocate for her client. She made me and my desires her number
one priority. She made my dreams come true! Now I know what it's like when a Realtor is working for me!
I highly recommend Gloria to anyone looking for a Real Estate Agent. She made the process very easy and seamless!

Sophie is an absolute gem to work with. She went far above and beyond her duties as a Realtor. Sophie sold my nephew's Townhouse, who lives alone and suffers from several ailments. He could not do too much to prepare his home for sale in a timely manner. Sophie helped him by placing items for sale on her Facebook Marketplace page and was present when transactions took place. She also found a Condo for my nephew to move to. Sophie supported him in countless ways. She is very pleasant and knowledgeable about the business she is in. I would highly recommend her to help you with the sale of your property.

My husband and me made a big change in our life, by buying another house. For other people it might not be a big deal, but for us it was BIG!!!! We are moving to a gated community from a single house. We decided, it was time to retire the lawnmower.
We cannot say enough about Gloria Santa Cruz. Her Caring, Professionalism and Passion for working for and with us was fantastic. Whenever we had questions, she was always only a phone call away and right away called back.
Way to go Gloria!!!! We couldn’t have accomplished it without you. We will definitely recommend you to others!

The process of interviewing Brokerages was a rather daunting task! I ended up choosing the one where I found the best tutor. As I began building my business, I realized how technology and new tools were being introduced at a fairly rapid pace. It was then that I noticed the amazing education program that Royal LePage Wheeler Cheam Realty was offering. This was headed by a very ‘tech savvy’ and most awesome sales manager! Moving to Royal LePage Wheeler Cheam was one of the best decisions that I made to help me build & grow my business. The environment here is so comfortable to work in, and yet always being challenged to grow.
You will not regret making the choice, to make Wheeler Cheam Realty, your brokerage.

I found Gloria very comfortable to work with and she was always available. She worked really hard for me, found me my home this past November, and got me one heck of a deal! The whole process was very smooth and pain-free after my offer was accepted. I am a BC homeowner! Thanks so much, Gloria, I couldn't be happier.

He showed me a variety of homes to help me find the one that was right for me. At no point was he in a rush to sell anything. His main concern was to ensure I found what was right for me, and we did.

Chris was knowledgable, enthusiastic, available, and helpful in every way in regard to the sale of our residential property. He facilitated the successful marketing and sale in difficult circumstances, in which the sellers were at long distance, and the house was empty for an extended period during the Coronavirus. In addition to advising on staging and showing it to best advantage, Chris drove by and monitored it regularly, and even did some garden tidy up. We always felt comfortable that it was being managed properly, and ultimately got a good price for it. Thank you Chris!

Chris gave great advice on staging our home to present it to buyers in the most positive way. He knew all of our special features, and upgrades, and made sure other agents were aware of them as well. He was able to sell our house in 1 day for our asking price! Would recommend him to anyone.

Chris was extremely helpful, always upbeat and knowledgeable, and available whenever we had questions or concerns. And, we appreciated his attention to detail. We had a good experience, and if we still lived in the lower mainland we'd definitely work with him again.

"My husband, Trevor, and I met Denny at an Open House for the townhouse complex in which we now live.
We had a property to sell, and, although we had utilized various Realtors over the years, we signed with Denny without hesitation. Denny is a calm, organized, funny, professional Realtor who gained our trust immediately. Denny cares about his clients and treats them as he would a friend. In essence, he does what he says he will do!! Denny came to our home, took lots of awesome pictures, which showcased our property to its fullest advantage. The listing was up and running in a short time, and the calls started to come in. Our home was sold within about a week. This is not only due to the fact that it was a highly desirable house, but more importantly, it was properly marketed! Denny then oversaw the purchase of our current home. Even when there were minor hiccups in the process. Denny always helped us stay confident and took great care of us. Now, after time, we still keep in touch with Denny. He is the best Realtor I have ever encountered after selling and buying over 20 different homes over the years. That is saying a lot in my estimation!! It is with our wholehearted pleasure that we recommend Denny!! He will absolutely not disappoint!!"

I'm a first time homebuyer and Chris was able to guide me step by step and is very detail oriented. He took his time to educate me "what to look out for" and has gone the extra mile to find answer to my question.

Although we are in-dependant contractors it is essential for success that as an office we collaborate sharing ideas and information. At Royal Lepage this is one of the elements of the Company I value most. The leading edge technical tools Royal Lepage provides are imperative to me to reach the pinnacle of our industry. After 34 years I have nothing but praise and admiration for this great company and will be with them forever.

We loved our home in Fairfield Island and finding a Realtor that loved the area too was important to us. Gloria was raised on FFI and appreciates the value of the community closeness like we did! Gloria extended herself and was available first hand any time I needed her. She did a wonderful job in staging and preparing our home for wonderful photos that did my home the justice it deserved. She will work hard for you to get the best dollar and not back down to ensure her client is satisfied. We fell in love with her glowing personality and her positivity! Thank you Gloria for your hard work... our home sold in 7 days and you made the process easy!!

Denny was quick, professional, and very approachable.
Being a younger couple he ensured we had all the resources and information we needed to buy our first home together. When the time comes to buy/sell we will be using Denny. Would highly recommend him to anyone we know who is in the market for a great realtor

Chris made my first home buying experience amazing! He is super kind and knowledgeable, and was always there to answer any question I had. Chris was very professional and personable and I trusted him right from the start. I could easily tell that Chris truly cares about his clients, and wants nothing but success for them. If you want a realtor that is genuinely a good/kind person, and willing to go the extra mile for you, Chris is your guy. I couldn’t imagine buying my first home with any other realtor!

Jennifer and I are very happy with the professional service that you provided us with! We went through Abbotsford for an entire day – in the end, you found a property last minute that was outside of our original ask but which you knew we would love. Within 30 minutes of arriving at the property we wrote an offer. You did an amazing job, and thank you!!!

Love this Chris guy. We sold our Chilliwack house in no time with excellent negotiations and just recently our Abbotsford house within a day! Chris is very personable, professional and a hoot to deal with. Our third house sale in Vernon was by a realtor he referred to us, also a very professional and friendly person. Way to go Chris, go to the top. Your type of honesty and professionalism is what we need in government. Cheers

We met Chris at an open house and appreciated his interest in helping us find something that worked for us and not just the place he was showing. Chris helped us beat out another offer on a place we love and we were very happy with the advice and guidance he gave us. Would definitely recommend him!

Gloria is amazing to work with! She made our first time house buying experience enjoyable and stress free. She is very knowledgeable when it came to the history as well as specific details regarding the areas around Chilliwack where we finally found the right urban modern home for us. Outside of being our buying agent, what we enjoyed the most was the sound advice she gave us when we were deciding and choosing between properties, and in the end, her advice ultimately helped us decide which house to buy and we couldn’t be any happier with our decision! We appreciate Gloria’s honest realtor perspective on every property we viewed, and she gave us the vibe of it’s not all about making a sale for her, but more on actually helping you find the “right” home for you. And I forgot to say that Gloria gives very good advice for free when it comes to managing finances especially for young first time home buyers as well! Thanks for everything Gloria!

Kyle is somebody I would recommend to anybody trying to buy or sell a house.He walked us through what we needed to get done to sell and recommended some great ideas. Kyles photos and 3D scanning of your place was unreal and we received a lot of great feedback on them. Kyles communication is awesome and we could get in touch with him anytime. He also helped us buy our new home and did great job negotiating and got us a great price.

Chris makes his client #1 priority. His professional commitment to helping, caring and being on-call for me matched no other realtor I've met. He was there for me the whole process from start to finish and as a first time buyer, it was a relief! I can't express how happy myself and my family are after a whole year of looking. He's a true leader and father--I can happily say thanks to Chris & his team, My family has found the place of our dreams!

Working with Shane was very rewarding. He is knowledgeable, professional, engaging, and tech-savy. It was a pleasure to just leave the sale of mom’s property in his capable hands. The weekly updates were much appreciated as was his quick response to the questions I had. I highly recommend Shane and will definitely reach out to him next time I plan to buy or sell real estate. Thanks, Shane!

Chris is the best realtor we have ever worked with! He's so knowledgeable about each area we asked about. Provided plenty of useful and accurate information. He was so caring and thoughtful in each home search and questions we had. As well as always being incredibly responsive to each call, email or text. We would highly recommend Chris for selling or buying. We are extremely pleased by Chris and appreciate whole heartedly all his dedication to our search.

When I got my real estate license there was no question which brokerage I would join. All the staff and other realtors were welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. Starting a new career can be intimidating, and every time I had a question or needed advice, and there were a lot of times, I was directed to the person who could help, and they always made sure that I had my answers. The training, support and friendships we have in our office makes me feel very fortunate and happy with my decision.

Dear Sirs: I just purchased a house in Chilliwack and Steve Davies of Wheeler Realty was my agent.
I am now moved in and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Steve and Wheeler Realty for the excellent professional customer service they extended to me. Steve Davies was very knowledgeable, polite, courteous, punctual and very professional. He seemed enthusiastic to satisfy the "customers" needs, and not push something else. Due to other circumstances recently, I had direct dealings with 4 different national real estate companies, and I was not only unimpressed but thought some of their tactics bordered on unprofessional. I will deal with Steve and Wheeler Realty again in the future and I will certainly recommend them to my friends. I am very happy with the house I purchased, so thanks again!

Chris was very helpful helpful in the process of buying my first home from across the country. I had limited time to visit so he made sure to make the most of this time. He is easy to reach and gives helpful insight. He also took the time to show me the town and explain the areas.

I have been with Royal LePage Wheeler Cheam for over 20 years and it has been a great experience for me. Our office not only has REALTORS® that are professional, helpful, trustworthy and caring but we are like a family. Our manager (Kyle) always has his door open for help and/or advice. I have had offers to go to other offices but I wouldn’t even consider it as this is home for me.

When I was asked to do a testimonial for our office I was glad to do it. I have been with this office from my beginnings. In the 19 years I have worked for Royal Lepage I have been asked countless times if I would consider moving to other brokerages in town...My answer is “I am Good where I am”. I know this, for any realtor thinking of making a change or is starting their career you couldn’t pick a better brokerage. Their commitment to helping you succeed through extra training, continuing education & management is 2nd to none. The wealth of knowledge in the office for newer realtors is a no brainer, everyone in this office is easy to approach or work with. “Is the grass greener on the other side”? I will never know.

I joined Royal Lepage Wheeler Cheam in 2006. I love this office, I would choose this office every time! The managers and owners are constantly looking for ways to help us REALTORS improve our business by staying on top of changes in the market and technology with classes and in our weekly meetings. The office staff goes above and beyond to support our agents, they are amazing! The agents who work here are professional & friendly. Royalt Lepage is 100% Canadian owned, this makes me very proud to be a part of this amazing company!
