Where do I begin? I have had clients tell me how great you are and now I know first hand. I can't not tell you how much I appreciate you being there for me not only as my Realtor but as a friend as well. You were available to answer my million questions, to give advice and support when I needed it most. Your honesty, patience and your professionlism is something I have the utmost respect for. Thank you for allowing me to have a real person to deal with and not just a Realtor.

When my husband and I started thinking about buying in the Victoria area, we went to our first open house – one that Karin was hosting. She was friendly and inviting without being obtrusive, as well as being very informed about the property she was showing and the surrounding area. We didn’t know a lot about the process, and were still hesitant about entering the market, but Karin answered all of our questions and made it seem so simple. She gave us her card as well as advice and information regarding mortgage brokers. As we started looking at properties, Karin was a God-send! She made it a priority to quickly learn our preferences and show us only properties that were of interest to us and within our price range. She never tried to “up-sell” us, nor did she waste our time showing us properties that were unsuitable. Karin was always just a phone call away whenever we had questions or there were listings we wanted to view. She was patient with us when we wavered and never got pushy to make a sale. Karin is a breath of fresh air in an industry that sometimes has a bad reputation. She has a lot of insight into today’s real estate market as well as being honest and down to earth. We would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking of buying or selling and we will be using her again when it comes time for us to move up

We met Karin Batters in the summer of 2005 when we walked through an open house she was hosting. Though we informed her we already had an agent, she was friendly and chatted with us like long lost friends. She wasn't pushy or giving us any sales pitches, nor did she ignore us. We drove away impressed with our short time spent with her and both agreed we would want someone like Karin next time around. Within the year, we found ourselves having to move out of the country and needed an agent to help sell our home. We knew exactly who we wanted to work for us and we contacted the Real Estate Board of Victoria to get her contact information. Karin took the time to get to know us both and really listened to what we wanted, expected and needed from her. She has a gentle way of nurturing her clients, guiding with her ideas and thoughts, discussing the options, yet gave us space to make the final decision. Karin was just a phone call away, always on time, and was with you start to finish! The most important thing about Karin to us both, was her honesty and integrity, we trusted her.

Karin, thank you for your professionalism, for always being available to listen and advising us, and thank you for your friendship!

We met Karin at an open house she was giving in our area for a property listed with her. We were immediately impressed by her open manner and willingness to answer questions. Before leaving she offered her business card and a free market assessment of our home. We had no intention of selling but thought it would be useful information to have the market assessment. Less than six weeks later we listed our home with Karin and she sold it the first day it was on the market! She also helped us negotiate the purchase of our current home. Karin has an amazing ability to serve clients and is a professional from start to finish. We have referred several of our friends to Karin and will most definitely use her services again in the future.

When my daughter and I were in Victoria looking for a condo to purchase earlier this year, your knowledge and professionalism were the key to our success. We appreciated having you to consult with and your availability for our many questions. Thank you. Your prescreening the condos based on our price range was an added benefit, helping us to narrow our search and save time to focus on the right places. Your expertise in guiding me through the paperwork and all the requirements of the Canadian process was very valuable. I'm grateful for the patience and personable manner you showed in explaining, and then re-explaining, certain requirements to us. Thanks again for your expert advice and for the numerous tasks you performed for us, which went beyond my expectations.

It took us a number of months to find exactly the home that suited us, and Karin was really patient as we viewed property after property. Not once did we ever feel pressured to accept anything less than exactly what we were looking for... so when the perfect home finally came along, we were able to buy with certainty.

Selling our house was the easiest - Karin got us a good deal more than the asking price and we went from 'listed' to 'sold' in five days. It couldn't have been less stressful!

At every stage, she kept us informed and up-to-date and was always approachable.

Karin was everything we were looking for in a realtor. A competent professional, and a personable and caring individual at the same time...Karin restored our faith in realtors!

I'm writing this letter to express my deepest gratitude to you for providing my family and me with service of the highest quality in our recent relocation to Victoria. I was pleased to be offered a position at UVIC however; it's not easy relocating a young family halfway across the country into a real estate market that is incredibly expensive. You really did make our dream of purchasing our first home in Victoria a reality. Your keen sense for business along with an affinity for people and understanding their needs certainly set you a part from others. I was so impressed and appreciative of the time and effort you took in getting to know me so that you could locate the homes that were most suitable. You really cared that my needs were met. When I was discouraged given the current house prices and lack of listings, you never gave up hope and transferred that hope to me. You worked tirelessly to find us the right place and drew on your many local business contacts to help make our dream a reality. Thank-you Karin, we love our new home.
