I have been lucky enough to have Deedrie Ballard help me buy and sell two homes. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home in any bracket. The trait that makes Deedrie stand out above the crowd is her listening ability. She really listens to you, what you want and what you need. She does not waste your time trying to convince you that another type or price or location of property is what you should look at. She really listens to you and puts you first. If you ask for advice she is happy to help and her advice is good-she knows the greater Victoria area so well. But, she is never pushy. She is also an ultimate professional, she knows her market and she does exhaustive research when deciding on a price to sell your home and does the same for you when you are looking at something to purchase. And, she will steer you clear if she thinks your choice is over-priced or has problems that will cost you down the road. You come first, not the sale.

Just wanted to let you know that one year in, I am so pleased to have made this move — and it could never have happened so easily without you — it was an absolute piece of cake so THANK YOU! I just wanted to remind you today how the work you do has real meaning in people’s lives — it has profoundly changed my perspective on what’s possible in my life, and I’m having fun exploring the options — THANK YOU! I just wanted to celebrate a special anniversary with someone who deserves a sincere THANK YOU for giving me great cause to celebrate!

We were fortunate to have Deedrie represent us both buying and selling properties this past year. Over the years we have purchased a number of homes but Deedrie stands out as a realtor for a number of reasons that were important to us. She was forthright with her advice and always supported it with sound logic. Despite it being a busy period she was always on top of things; staying in touch either in person, by phone or by email. When it came to negotiations she made constructive recommendations that for us proved to be advantageous. Perhaps something not always considered but Deedrie is well connected and well regarded within the real estate community. that is a vital asset. We will continue to recommend her as someone you can rely on.

Deedrie Ballard is truly la Professional Realtor. Deedrie sold both my homes in Victoria in 2015; the first condo sold in 4 days! the second home in Gordon Head required a lot of open houses and advertising to get the best offer. Deedrie was great at communicating the activity; suggesting list price ranges; and recommendations on necessary cleaning and repairs to have the home show at its best. As well, she referred a terrific Realtor in Vancouver that I was extremely pleased with and able to buy my next dream home. I highly recommend Deedrie whether you are looking for a Listing Agent; Buyer’s Agent or referral contact. She truly cares about the people.
