Over the years I have sold hundreds of properties working with first time home buyers looking to have a place of their own, moving-uppers wanting more space, moving-downers wanting less space, senior citizens wanting convenience, and investors needing to make a sound choice. It’s an honour to be a part of such significant lifestyle choices.
I look forward to many more years of helping clients become fully educated in order to make the best possible choice based on their specific needs. The families and individuals I work with know the detailed information I provide is the same advice I would give to a member of my family. They know they have a friend in the real estate business that they can contact anytime. In fact, clients that have moved away will contact me regarding their new situation and get my take. It's always a pleasure to help.
The following testimonials are from just some of the families I have assisted. Feel free to speak to my current, and past clients, they would be happy to vouch for me!

I cannot say enough good things about the way Vanessa handled the sale of our home in Pemberton Heights. Advised us how and where to dispose of furnishings we did not wish to take with us to our downsized condo, how to prepare our home for showing, recommended a law firm to handle the sale and purchase, and sold our home at a hundred thousand dollars over the list price.
Then there were months of driving us around to look at condos in North Van, West Van and the Tri Cities. Always patient, never showing us property over our price range or unsuitable as to size and location. She was just great and made the process of selling our home and moving an enjoyable time.
As I said before, Vanessa, I just wish I had another home to have you sell and another condo to help me buy!”

I just read some of the previous testimonials and I found that everything I was going to say has already been said by everyone else that has worked with Vanessa – she’s absolutely amazing!
She helped us at every stage of the process with a warm and confidant manner and she quickly felt like a family friend to us.
Our home sold far over the asking price due to Vanessa’s amazing ideas that gave us as much exposure as possible.
She’s the best!

Our family was privileged to work with Vanessa Human when we purchased our home. Being new to BC, it was important to work with a Real Estate Specialist who was both knowledgeable and honest. Vanessa listened carefully in order to help us to view homes on the North Shore that were suited to all aspects of our family needs. We only had to view three homes before finding the one we wanted to purchase. She was very capable in guiding us through our offer in a way that was highly ethical and professional.
Vanessa is very skilled in presentation and negotiation of home sales. In fact, the seller of our home later shared that it was Vanessa’s presentation ability that led them to sell to us at a point where they were faced with several other competitive offers. She did not stop here however. Vanessa was keen to follow through with us until well after we were settled in our new home.
We have been blessed to meet and work with Vanessa Human. We have not met another Real Estate Specialist who compares. Vanessa’s knowledge, sales ability, professionalism, and ethical approach are second to none. Anyone would be so very fortunate to be assisted by Vanessa Human with their real estate needs.
Sincerely,

Vanessa Human helped me sell my home quickly and for the price I wanted. Her strong negotiating skills combined with experience, knowledge and high level of integrity were paramount in my decision on who I wanted to use for my representation. I was delighted when Vanessa sold my home in less than a week for the price I had asked for. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer Vanessa Human to my friends, family and acquaintances.
Thank-you,

Vanessa Human sold me my family-owned apartment over two years ago and I couldn’t be happier. Vanessa is an extremely professional and thorough realtor, not only did she show an incredible amount of patience during the months we looked for the ideal home, but also great honesty and caring for her clients. It became obvious she was not going to sell me anything that had any flaws, even if I myself found a place pleasing on the surface.
She was upfront and honest from the beginning never hesitating to inform me all that a buyer should know regarding a potential investment.
Vanessa did not wish me nor my family to miss out on any opportunities and happily showed me a wide variety of places familiarizing me with the market and ultimately enabling me to be 100% certain of the desirability of the property we decided to purchase.
Vanessa was adaptive and patient with my changing financial circumstances and offered me much assistance with her own knowledge of property value and financing as well as her recommendation of a helpful and accessible mortgage broker.
She showed more than adequate negotiation skills when the day came to place an offer. After a lot of work on Vanessa’s side, a deal was synched and we have never looked back.
I will not hesitate to use Vanessa’s services again and I cannot recommend her highly enough for those looking to purchase a solid home with the assistance of a trustworthy, hardworking and skilled realtor.

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you ever so much for helping us find our new home. It is never easy to purchase a new home, let alone, in a different town that is far away. We knew where we wanted to buy and how much we had to spend, but this being our first purchase, it was rather daunting and a bit overwhelming at times. Your professionalism and knowledge, got us on the right track as to what type of home we should be realistically looking at according to our desires and budget. Even though we came to a few bumps in the road, you worked that much harder, inquired and did more research to get us through them with optimism. We love our new home and we appreciate all that you have done for us. Thank you!
Sincerely
– The Tuazon Family
Vanessa searched tirelessly to find a home that fit my needs. She is a tough negotiator and got me the home I wanted for the right price. Thanks for all your effort and patience. I love my new home!

Buying our new home through Vanessa was a wonderful experience. The entire transaction from house hunting to closing was relaxed and enjoyable without the slightest hint of pressure. We would recommend Vanessa Human to anyone looking to buy or sell a home anywhere in the Lower Main Land.

Vanessa was extremely nice, very thorough, and VERY patient in working with us as first time home buyers. She answered all of our questions, no matter how small, very promptly and thoroughly. She also made great recommendations for our home inspector and lawyer. Overall we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Vanessa to anyone. She made the buying experience as pleasant and painless as was humanly possible.
