What My Customer Says - Tim

Customer
Tim Tang
Entrepreneur





What My Customer Says (in Mandarin)...

(English Translation)
TheTeam: Tim, could you share with us your work and experience with Fanny?
Tim: Okay, I could. To me, Fanny is not just a realtor but also a good friend and a great help. All this time I have been in Canada, all my real estate matters - some for investment, some for self-use, are handled, transacted and taken care of by Fanny. In areas that I am not familiar with, she helps out and teaches me. She sorts things like staging, Canadian real estate law, fine details and precise numbers out with me. In addition, my English is so-so, therefore, she translates. Fanny is a straight forward and easy going person. Basically, whatever I require, I want to know, she always tries her best to find out more and provide me with some good advice. It is a pleasure to work with her. There is more. My insurance and investment fund are looked after by her. Therefore, I would suggest all to contact her if you have any need, not only buying or selling homes but also other transactions.
TheTeam: Thank you, Tim.
Tim: Okay, fine.

Tim: Ok, 


What My Customer Says (in Cantonese)...

(English Translation)
TheTeam: Hello Tim, would you share with us your working relationship and experience with Fanny?
Tim: Ok. To me, Fanny is not only a realtor. We have known and worked with each other for quite a while. She has been taking care of my mutual funds, insurances, real estate transactions and investment. Fanny is hardworking. She always tries her hardest to solve my problems: working out numbers (I bought and flipped houses); fulfilling tax requirements; and even getting mortgages. For issues that she is not sure, she will call, search and do what she possibly can to find out. Therefore, I suggest: if you need help, not only on real estate, you can reach her. So far, I have been very satisfied about our every project, every transaction. It has been perfect.
TheTeam: Thank you, Tim.
Tim: Ok, sure.

TheTeam: Hello, 你好,Tim, 可否給我們分享一下你與Fanny之間的合作關係和經驗?
Tim: Okay, Fanny對我來說,不單只是一位地產經紀。我認識她相當時間,亦已經有一定的合作關。無論是生活上的基金、保險、買賣房屋或投資,她也幫助我很多。Fanny很勤奮。一直以來合作中,我所有的問題、疑難,她也盡量為我解決。不論在數字上面(因為她替我買了很多房子去flip樓)、在稅務方面、甚至乎在mortgage(按揭)方面,她全都可以幫助我。有很多問題,就算她不曉得,假若我提出,她會幫我四處打聼、call、問、盡力為我find out。因此我會見議任何人有任何問題,不單是在地產上,在所有問題上都可以找她。So far, 每一次的合作,每一次的買賣,我也是非常滿意因所有都是perfect的。
TheTeam謝謝你,Tim。

Business Owner



What My Customer Says...

(English translation)
TheTeam: Hello Will, thank you for agreeing to be interviewed.  You commissioned Fanny to look for a home for you.  We would like to know how Fanny helped you through the process.

Will: Fanny is really helpful.  At that time, during my transition from being a single to become a married man, I needed to find a home for my family.  Fanny worked very thoroughly.  I had told her about our requirements, she came back with many homes that met our needs - we had plenty of choices.  She is a very responsible agent.  She returns my calls or emails promptly.  The entire process went very smoothly.  I rate her service "very good".

TheTeam: If you need to upscale or invest, will you use Fanny again?

Will: She will be the first one I call because I have confidence in her.  If we have any real estate need, she will be our first choice.

TheTeam: Thanks, Will.

Will: My pleasure.
