FIRST TIME HOME OWNERS My husband and I met her as first time home buyers looking at open houses. She was personable, approachable, and knowledgeable, she was also enthusiastic and a lot of fun.

Over the span of about 1.5 weeks, Helen took us to every appropriate apartment on the market - about 30 places.

She did not try to sell us anything beyond our price range, she let us know which buildings were reputable and well managed, and within a very short time had a good sense of what our style was.

Helen also did a great job of dealing with first time home buyer nerves, confusion, and questions. We recommended Helen with no reservations and our friend had a great experience and a perfect first home.

When it is time to move, we will definitely be giving Helen a call and enlisting her expert skills in helping us find our next home.”

Patrick O’Donnell POUNDING THE PAVEMENT - 25 HOURS A DAY! Blessed with an astigmatism, buck teeth and a disproportionately small head, it was believed by many that Patrick would be best suited to the circus; never mind a career in Real Estate. However, not long after meeting Patrick it becomes apparent that his disproportionately small head is crammed with information and his enthusiasm for life combined with his ability to make you feel instantly comfortable allows you to forgive the buck teeth and ignore the astigmatism. You will Ànd yourself in the company of a genuine, well-mannered gentleman.

Patrick, originally from England, arrived in Canada with a stunning work habit that took him to the top of every Àeld entered. In 1983 he started selling Real Estate and within two years he was the #1 Agent in his area and also the #1 Realty World Agent for Alberta. Not content to just sell houses, Patrick spent many hours working for the beneÀt of others and in 1992 was awarded the “Commemorative Medal” by the Governor General of Canada in recognition of his signiÀcant contribution to compatriots, community and to Canada.

In 2001 Patrick and his wife moved to greener pastures in West Vancouver. Now a part of the Prudential Sussex team on the North Shore, Patrick is back pounding the pavement – 25 hours a day! When asked why a person would want to buy or sell through him, Patrick pleasantly summed up his 28-year career:

“From the time I wake up in the morning I am cognizant of the fact that people will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”.
