Merina is an incredible agent who has a solid knowledge and understanding in both real estate market and developments in Metro Vancouver and British Columbia. Not only she was very instrumental in helping me find and buy my first home ever in Vancouver, but also she gave me an excellent overview of the market and first-time home buying process. She is very punctual, responsive and will answer calls or texts immediately. ( She’s still answering random questions that I have….and I closed last month!) When you work with Merina you are getting more than just and agent. She went above and beyond in every step of the process. There is so much that goes into buying a home, but because she is so knowledgeable in all areas of real estate since she had first hand experience as both a home buyer and seller, I was able to trust and rely on her expertise completely. This really reduced my stress and anxiety for being a first-time home buyer. I really appreciated that she really aims to guide buyers toward making a smart investment decision. For most home buyers you’re not just buying a place to live but you’re making an investment. So she carefully evaluated my financial goals as well as lifestyle and then lead me toward making the right decision including helping me devise a long-term plan for if and when I eventually sell or rent. This helped me avoid making a decision that seemed good in the short term but would not have served my long-term goals. I would highly recommend Merina to anyone who is buying or selling a home in British Columbia
