Dear Dan, Thank you very much for all of your efforts during our recent visit to the Cowichan Valley. As you know, we went to visit friends on Saltspring Island after leaving Duncan. Given the fact that we have both friends and family on Saltspring and have also spent many years visiting the island, we have, after careful deliberation, decided to focus our search for a home there. We would like to send you our sincere thanks for all of your efforts on our behalf and if in the future any of our friends, family or acquaintances are interested in looking for a home in the Cowichan Valley, we will unreservedly state that they could do no better than to ask you to be their realtor. Sincere thanks and best wishes for the future. Gerard & Pelly Shaw.
Whether you’re buying or selling,

Testimonial...
I have had the pleasure of working with Peter Miller as my realtor from the summer of 2011 to Feb.2012 .I would describe Peter’s approach as holistic, in that he not only deals with the business end of matters but is truly concerned with the needs of his clients. His kindness, understanding and support are attributes that I have never experienced to this degree while working with a realtor. He made arrangements for other services that needed to be taken care of around the property. Peter is very skillful at marketing a place and uses ads, videos, internet and Open Houses. Peter Miller was not only my realtor but also became a friend. He totally earned my trust and con¿dence. I highly recommend Peter Miller as a realtor and would not hesitate to utilize his services again. Merridee Gattinger

PET TIP:
HOT DOGS IN CARS ARE HAPPENING ALREADY. I have seen people put the windows down 1/2” and they feel this will do. No it won’t unless causing your animal extreme distress is your plan. Leave dogs at home in comfort. They may be used to going with you in the car but you are supposed to be in charge and know it isn’t good for them to roast.
