Richelle and Amy helped us for months while we tried to find our perfect home in Courtenay. This was an emotional move for us, leaving our beloved home of 34 years in Victoria and relocating to the Comox Valley, so the stakes were high. We felt supported every step of the way, despite a couple of disappointments that come with the territory. As often happens, what we thought were losses turned out to be fate looking after us. RENAH never lost faith that the perfect home would be found; we so appreciated their optimism and patience.
Amy and Richelle work well together as a team, each having great contacts in the Valley. They steered us towards some wonderful trades once we bought, having left our longtime team in Victoria. Their help was integral to our feeling settled in our new neighbourhood.
If you decide to go with RENAH your needs will be met from start to finish in your hunt for a new home.

Richelle was outstanding in helping us find the right place in Courtenay. Her timely advice made all the difference in closing the deal. Always ready to show us homes at our convenience over a couple of years, she patiently waited until we were finally ready and serious.

We started our real-estate investment journey with Richelle in 2020. We spent many weekends together that summer where Richelle spent extensive hours to plan viewing schedules around our busy lives and educating me on the Comox Valley market. As the Journey continued she helped my spouse and I refine our requirements, and zero in on properties that would meet our investment goals. As we went from searching to bidding/closing Richelle dedicated commitment to her profession did not waiver. She negotiated a fair bid in a highly competitive market. From there we followed Richelle’s detailed closing checklist and schedule. Her detailed closing plan removed the unnecessary pressures of closing a property sale, and was alway available for consolation and clarity when required. We would not hesitate to use Richelle’s services again, as we did about 1 year later. Regards Donald Balanecki

I’ve had excellent experience working with both Richelle and Amy of RENAH real estate. In 2021 Richelle secured the purchase of our property within 24 hours, an investment that has already exceeded our expectations. Recently, Amy spent hours reviewing a potential property’s documents with me, explaining the fine print zoning and bylaws.
I trust their attention to detail, creative ideas, large networks and skillful negotiation. These two are wonderful to work with and I would recommend them to anyone!

Amy was recommended to us by a friend who previously purchased a home under similar circumstances. We were living up north with little contacts on the island. Amy was professional, personable and attentive to our specific needs and situation. She is was great to work with. We had a short time frame to view properties and Amy was very accommodating. She understood what was important to us and went above and beyond. We really appreciated her experience, dedication, local knowledge and the contacts she has that were instrumental for the success of our purchase. We are very happy with our purchase which would not have happened without Amy's diligence and support.
