Being first time buyers in a world we new nothing about was a little stressful. When we met Candace every stress, question and doubt we had in our minds about buying quickly diminished. Her absolute honesty and dedication to finding us not just a home but a great investment for our future was unbelievable. Candace gave us the confidence to know that every step we were making was the right one. I wish that every first time home buyer could work with Candace. She will fight to get you what you want and won't back down until she does. We will recommend Candace to everyone we meet that is looking for a home and we won't work with anyone else but her in the future. You are one of the best things that ever happened to us, Thank you Candace!!

"As a first time home seller I was a little nervous and unsure of the process in which to go through. I did my research, tried selling on my own and after seeing poor results I decided to call Candace. Her professionalism and dedication got my apartment in Klahanie exposed to a lot of qualified buyers quickly. Candace has a great reputation and an amazing ability to accomplish a task. Her Team of professionals is one of kind and I look forward to when I can work with her again." ~Pall, November 2009
"This is our seventh home we have sold/bought and I have to say we finally found an agent that got it right! Candace was reliable, professional and an excellent listener therefore she was able to meet our needs in every way. She helped us find a 'home' that met all of our requirements, negotiated the best price and continued on with her services after the purchase was confirmed. She helped us settle into the area by recommending schools, finding required services and making sure all that was agreed upon was completed. Never before have we bought a home with such personal satisfaction. Job well done, Candace!" ~Karen K., October 2009
"We are so pleased to have worked with Candace twice. She has helped us buy two homes and sell another. She is always prepared, positive and professional. Candace earns your confidence through her knowledge and ability to answer all of your questions. She is determined to do what is best for you and is a smart and driven negotiator. Candace is a strong real estate agent that we recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell." ~ Morgan and Erin, September 2009
"I recently was turned onto Candace Cappellaro through a good friend, hoping to find my first home. Being a first time buyer I was instantly at ease with Candace's confidence, knowledge & FANTASTIC negotiating skills!! While the process can be daunting, she was excellent at walking me through step by step, with patience that it takes to still make home buying FUN!! I see why Candace comes so highly recommened and why time after time people call HER when Buying & Selling in Klahanie (my new home!)" ~ Kelly Trotman, August 2009
"I was a first time home owner and I met Candace Cappellaro through an MLS listing of hers. I was new at it all and I needed a Realtor® I could trust. I was instantly drawn to Candace's bubbly, outgoing and confident personality. She promptly and efficiently took on the task of finding us just what we wanted. She found us a great condo in a neighborhood that we thought we couldn't afford, but she knew we belonged there and she made it happen, and got us a great price!
Candace is professional, knowledgable and has an excellent attention to detail. I would gladly recommend Candace to any of my friends, family and strangers for that matter!" ~ Shari Kropp, August 2009
"Thank you Candace, again, for another fine piece of business, excellent negotiations, Candace. I want to thank you and your support staff for all your efforts. These days we all have to pay for services, unfortunately not all the time does a person feel that they have received their money's worth. Your attentiveness to small details followed up by your team's persistent effort to contact me was impressive. I am a busy person and not always available but they tracked me down and made this sale, EASY! Six days on the market!!...who would have thought it would go so quickly, and just under my asking price." ~ Brent Einarson, April 2009
"I and my wife Bissi were extremely fortunate to meet Candace Cappellaro and have her as our Realtor®. As first time home buyers, we needed exactly somebody like Candace to lead us throughout the entire buying process step by step. Because of Candace’s warm personality and honesty, we felt very comfortable right away - it was a trust at first sight. With her vast experience, dedication and commitment, Candace made buying a home easier than buying a car! It took her only one week to find exactly the home we were looking for. She negotiated the price beyond our expectations. Candace also helped us finding the right mortgage broker and a lawyer. We can’t wait to move to our new home in Port Moody in a couple of months. We would like to say a BIG thank you to Candace and her team of true professionals!" ~ Very grateful, Bissi and Petio Antov, April 2009
"We had every confidence in Candace to sell our place, even amid the current challenging economic times and shift in the housing market, and she delivered! She worked tirelessly to make sure the deal got sealed, and it happened. In the end it was simple – we trusted our real estate agent, and she sold our home! Thanks again ever so much Candace!" ~ A & N Dennis, March 2009
"January 2009, we make our way into our first ever open house where we were pleasantly greeted by Candace. With her friendly and highly energetic approach, Candace answered every question we had and provided us with the best advice. So after spending over an hour in a place we were not even interested in, we left with a commonly agreed upon decision: Candace was to be our Realtor® from now on. A month later, Candace found us the perfect home and she didn’t stop there. While we were absolutely pleased with everything this place had to offer, Candace took the time to examine every single detail, and ensure our new home is 100% what it should be. But being the fierce negotiator that she is, she couldn’t stop until she made sure we were getting the best deal, and more things we never even asked for. Our experience was unique and enjoyable." ~ Roxy & Alex
"The moment we met Candace we knew it was a connection. As first time homebuyers we were overwhelmed and confused. Candace took us step by step through the whole process as I am sure she has done thousands of times before. Candace is conscientious, gave great advice, her opinions and expertise were invaluable. What I appreciated most about the experience of buying with Candace was that there was never any pressure and never a hurry. She answered every question and if she did not know the answer she was honest about it and found the answer for us quickly. Most of all, her personality, stories, and moxy made all of it fun!! Thanks Candace, we are really happy with our new home!" ~ Vern and Pedro, February 2009
"I am thoroughly happy with the service and knowledge provided to me by Candace and her team during my search for a new home. Candace's attention to detail and understanding of the real estate business was instrumental in me finding the perfect home in our first day out! As a first time home buyer, Candace made sure I understood every aspect of the negotiations and subsequent contracts, enlisting lawyers and mortgage brokers to provide me with the best informed advice. When I took possession of my home I felt completely confident that all due diligence had been done and I could sit back and enjoy my home without any concerns! I have recommended family and friends to call Candace when they are in the real estate market!" ~ Cheryl Semenuik, October 2008
"We are writing to thank you for handling both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home. Your patience, professional approach and dedication made our real estate experience an extremely positive one. Throughout the entire process of selling and buying, your experience and expertise in the tri-cities area was invaluable. After buying our 1st home with you, we knew we would be in excellent hands. We proudly recommend you to all of our friends and family because you found us our dream house!" ~ Murray and Kristy Schultze, August 2008
"This spring we moved from our first owned condo in Coquitlam to a new place in Port Moody. We really liked working with Candace the first time around as first time home buyers, so we went back to her as first time home sellers. Candace was extremely helpful guiding us through the selling process and really patient with all of our questions. The staging consultant she sent in to help us with our showings was fantastic and we got lots of showings with the great photography she arranged. Candace Cappellero and her team got us a great sale on our first home and a great buy on our new place. We look forward to working with her again and have recommended her to our friends looking to buy in the Coquitlam/Port Moody area!" ~ Jen and Mike, May 2008
"I have had the pleasure of dealing with Candace Cappellaro in buying and selling property in Port Moody. She has demonstrated an ethical and well organized understanding of the business, I can say this with some confidence because over the past fifty years I have purchased homes in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. Candace posses excellence and confidence in her communication skills and ensures that both Buyer and Seller have a clear understanding of all aspects of the sale. She is willing to go the extra mile. For example when I was unable to arrange for a mover to pick up some furniture before the listing date, Candace was very helpful in arranging to have the furniture moved! I have no hesitation in giving Candace my highest recommendation as a business-like ethical and clear thinking Realtor®." ~ Patrick Colbert, April 2008
"We were thrilled with the service provided by Candace! Her knowledge and professionalism is what helped us acquire our dream home. Thank you Candace for your hard work and your dependability!" ~ Michelle and Trevor Burmachuk, January 2008
"From start to finish Candace made our relocating from Chicago to Port Moody a pleasure. For sure we were picky about what we wanted, and Candace listened. We appreciated her honesty and support - it really felt like we were part of Candace's family and that she wanted us to get the house of our dreams, in our short timeline (over Christmas) and within our budget. Once we found the perfect place, she walked us thru the process of home inspections and lawyers. We are truly thrilled with the service that we received from Candace and would happily recommend her (and in fact have)." ~ A and C Labrune, January 2008
"We are extremely pleased to have worked with Candace in finding out first home. Candace provided open, honest and helpful advise that informed and educated us about the whole home buying process. She truly cared about finding us the "best home" and not just "a house". Candace's drive, knoweledge, and professionalism makes her a terrific Realtor®. We enjoyed buying our first home and we have Candace to thank." ~ Morgan and Erin Breden, August 2007
"I didn't really get a chance to say thank you for your help. Shannon and I both feel you got us a great price for our apartment. We appreciate the fact that you where willing to push for more than the status quo, as well as the professional manner that you went about everything. Hopefully we'll talk again before the deal closes, and perhaps we'll get the opportunity to work together again." ~ Geoff and Shannon K., September 2007
Our buying experience was fabulous. Even though this was not the first house we purchased Candace made it very stress free. She is not your typical Realtor® that leaves you hanging on by strings - she keeps you completely informed on everything. With two very small children, she was excellent and patient. Candace is the kind of Realtor® that really listens to what you want and works tooth and nail to find the perfect house for you and your family, you never feel pressured into anything and she shows you everything in your price range (not just the houses at the top and over your price range). She is the best Realtor® that we have used and I would recommend her to anybody whether it is your first house or your tenth. Thank a bunch Candace! ~ Angela P., August 2007
"I can't thank you enough for all your help in the sale of my home. You have been so professional in every way and have done an excellent job in educating me about the process and keeping me up to date on progress. It is not often that I trust someone quickly but with you, I felt at ease right from the minute we first met. You have exactly the right personality for the career you have chosen! You exude confidence and back up that attitude with action. Bravo! I will happily recommend you to anyone I know who is attempting to either sell or buy real estate." ~ Sharon H., March 2007
"I've known Candace for approximately 10 years now as a friend and as a real estate professional. I can always count on her to answer the phone, return my call or e-mail almost immediately. This makes me feel like I am a priority, regardless of how busy she is. Just recently I called her to list my home and she laughed and said someone just called her looking for a two bedroom in my area. I had an accepted offer on my home within a matter of days. I wouldn't hestitate for one second to recommend her as a Realtor®, and I recommend her to my closest friends and associates every chance I get as I know they too will be treated with care and respect by a an agent who know's the business." ~ Correen Y., February 2007
"Before I even thought about selling my condo I had the unique opportunity to witness Candace's work first hand. A friend of mine was selling her condo and purchasing a townhouse and wanted me to go through the process with her to provide support. Candace happened to be her Realtor® and that was the first time I met her. I was so impressed with her work, that when I did decide to sell, there was no doubt that Candace would be my Realtor®!! With Candace's energy, enthusiasm and knowledge of the market, I felt calm and in control throughout my whole experience. She has outstanding communication skills and in my opinion an uncanny ability to read people and situations. I was thoroughly satisfied with the service I received and would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a property." ~ Brian Brumwell, May 2006
"Candace, we just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! Not only for helping us to find our very first home, but for always making us feel like we were your number one priority. You were always there to answer all of our many questions and to guide us through the process. you made our first home buying experience a true painless one and we definitely look forward to working with you in the future!" ~ Anthony & Nicky, February 2006
"We can't thank you enough for helping us with our recent sale and purchase, Candace. We were not only amazed that you sold our condo in 2 days at full price but, the icing on the cake was when you found us another condo, negotiated a great price and presented us with an accepted offer by the end of the following week. Between the two of us, we've sold and purchased 12 properties and this was the best real estate experience we've ever had. We will definitely be using your services in the future and will happily and confidently recommend you to anyone requiring a Realtor®." ~ Betty and Ed Andrews, September 2005
"I have had the the pleasure to deal with Candace on the purchase and sale of both of my Port Moody condos. The first time I met Candace, I knew I had made the right choice! She approaches everything with extreme confidence, energy and enthusiasm that you won't find everyday. How she finds the time to commit 110% of herself to each & every one of her clients is truly amazing!!! She has never once let me down, regardless of obstacles. I have dealt with other agents in the past & not one of them even comes close to giving you the care & attention Candace does. If you want an agent that's friendly, honest, caring, & works hard to get you what you want, Candace is your agent. I would recommend her to anyone & everyone I know!!. She's like the energizer bunny of real estate agents, when others let you down, she just keeps going & going!! The only complaint I have, is that I can't take her with me on my cross country move!!" ~ Cathy Mcdonald, August 2005
"Thank you very much for your knowledge & hard work!! You have a special ability to get the job done! Very good seller, so good that I have recommended her to my brother AND best friend who are now EXTREMELY happy in their new homes!!" ~ Ben & Debbie Lucas
"Candace made our home buying experience truly wonderful. She worked tirelessly to find us our dream house, and we are thrilled with it!! Candace has that special mix of enthusiasm, expertise, and high ethical standards that makes a wonderful Realtor®. She was always a pleasure to deal with, and made us feel as if we were her #1 priority. Candace worked hard to get us the best possible deal on our home, and we will definately be calling her when it's time to sell. I am always happy to recommend Candace to friends and family. I know they will love working with her." ~ Douglas & Tracy
"Recently my wife Marlie and I went condo hunting in East Vancouver and encountered a number of problems with our first offer when the owners went to court to fight over the ownership of the property. Things started to get beyond our control as buyers and we eventually cancelled the offer on our Realtor®'s advice.
All of this involved a lot of time and effort from our Realtor® Candace Cappellaro, who performed an outstanding job on our behalf, never giving up, always keeping us informed of the status when dealing with the original unit, arranging cancellation of the home inspection at short notice with no penalty and throughout always looking for a viable alternative on our behalf. Throughout this experience Candace demonstrated total care for our wellbeing giving us excellent representation.
Thanks to the tenacity and dedication of Candace we emerged unscathed from the experience with a better deal on a better apartment. We own a number of properties throughout BC and deal with Realtors® on a yearly basis. We both feel we can safely say that the service that we received from Candace went way beyond average.
Candace is a true professional, dealing with her has been a pleasure, and we have total faith in her knowledge and abilities." ~ Paul Lewis
"Selling our home to purchase a new home could not have been a more enjoyable experience. Candace Cappellaro is true to her word, her most important concern is you as her client and your needs. Candace stops at nothing to make sure that you get and find what is it that you desire. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable Candace has proven to be a real bonus to have on our side." ~ Sukh Bassra & Michelle Briscoe
"I just wanted to thank you so much for all the work you put into selling my condo. After having listed my unit for over three months last year without even an offer on it I was really skeptical when you told me that you felt you would have it sold within one month of listing it. Five days? Five days!! It only took you five days to get me an acceptable offer on my unit! You really took the time to go through the condo with me and see what kind of a home it really was. You recommended absolutely FANTASTIC people to clean and re-paint my condo and they did truly above-average jobs. You even used a virtual tour type of web page to show off just how nice my place was. I believe that you had more people look through my condo on the first two days than the last Realtor® had look at it the entire previous listing. You didn't just exceed my expectations, you showed me why you have such a great reputation! Realty isn't just a job for you. Selling homes and finding the RIGHT new homes for people is a passion for you and you have proven that you excel in your field. You kept me informed with what I needed to do and what was happening at each stage of the listing, and you took care of everything that needed to be taken care of as it came up. All I had to do was listen to you and do what your experience and natural instinct told you to have done. Thank you for your professionalism, dedication, insight and kindness. You are an absolute pleasure to work with and I will be recommending you to anyone and everyone that I hear is looking to buy or sell a home." ~ Joergen Wikene, April 2005
"I have had a lot of experience with Realtors® in the past and have always been on the edge because of not knowing if the job will be done properly and not knowing from one day to the next what I am going to have to do to ensure that things are being dealt with (as you know, real estate transactions can be quite confusing). Then I found Candace. She is not only very professional but takes care of all of the things that need to be dealt with to make the clients' experience very stress free and easy. Her experience with real estate, with all its facets, is excellent. I highly recommend her for anyone who wants to have this experience with their sale and purchase of real estate. Kudos Candace!" ~ The Ryans
