SELLER TESTIMONIALS
BERNADETTE MAH, PREVIOUS CUSTODIAN OF SOUND HOUSE
“After evaluating several companies, we are very happy with our choice to work with Jason, Trent and their team at West Coast Modern They are highly professional, and truly value our distinctive west coast modern architecture in BC. Jason brought his expertise in sales and client support while Trent directed the creative vision for the marketing plan. Jason was always responsive and attentive to our concerns I highly recommend the West Coast Modern team if you are looking to sell a unique home with architectural design features.”
RUSSELL HOLLINGSWORTH, PREVIOUS CUSTODIAN OF HOLLINGSWORTH RESIDENCE
“I wanted to thank you for the great job you have done on this piece We were very fortunate on all fronts. Firstly, Trent calling and surprise! I said yes lets meet to discuss! Then all of the hard work and great ideas to set up the open house which was a great success. The only problem being I wasn't there! Then it aligning with the show at West Van Museum which added a whole bunch of energy. Finally, our interview process and finding a very fitting client - so we are very grateful to your adding to the legacy of Fred Hollingsworth through the saving of his personal home.
As I mentioned before you guys make an amazing team and I see a great synergy and balance of talents in your working together. Especially in this niche of "West Coast Modern Architecture Past and Present" ”
ALAN DAVIES, PREVIOUS CUSTODIAN OF REFLECTION HOUSE
“West Coast Modern brought a calm and reassuring support system to our house sale. Trent and Jason immediately understood the unique qualities of our home and prepared a detailed 'work-back schedule' They led a impressive process of documentation and market preparation, bringing in Gillian and Charlie for added support. Their dedication and enthusiasm included an intensive photography session that faithfully captured the home’s light, views, and space We were impressed by WCMs prompt professionalism and would recommend them without hesitation.“
