  • "Ole and his team were superb! Everything went perfectly to plan: from formulating sales strategy, to finalizing the terms & conditions of the sale, to navigating our way through some challenges due to the global pandemic, to following up with the usual niggly post-move items. We really appreciated Ole's deep knowledge of the market in general and the neighbourhood specifics. I highly recommend him to anyone in the Victoria market."
