Stories from Island homeowners

“My girlfriend and I bought our first condo and used the Miller Real Estate Team. They were unbelievable during every step of the process. From looking at the property, negotiations, to post transaction help they were amazing! Would highly recommend using them if you are looking to purchase Real Estate. They couldn't have made this massive part of our life easier!”

“Vicky and her associates at the Miller Real Estate Team really went all out to find us a house in this very fast paced and active market. I can't thank them enough for all their support and effort to secure a home for my family and I. If you want results and a team of professionals who will be your best investment, we can highly recommend Vicky and the Miller Team.”

“Andrew and the team at Miller Real Estate worked very diligently to find us exactly what we were looking for. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to look after your real estate needs. Always thoughtful and informative. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a realtor.”

“Joan Miller is professional and a pleasure to work with. She facilitated selling our Nanaimo condo in a short time. Joan guided us through the process with skill and empathy. She was available, knowledgeable about the market, and committed to the community. Her office team were respectful and supportive. I give her two thumbs up and recommend her highly”

“We couldn't be any more satisfied with the professional and excellent service provided by Jim, Andrew and the rest of the Miller Real Estate Team for the sale of our house. The communication was constant and responses to our queries were always quickly received. Jim and Andrew provided great advice on staging and presenting our house. The video presentation of our place was incredible and resulted in a quick sale. We would highly recommend the Miller Real Estate Team to anyone looking at selling their house in the Nanaimo area!”

“Very happy to have worked with Jim and Andrew on the sale of our $2M Qualicum Beach property. The listing was very professional with quality photos, video and 3D tour. The team was very responsive to any inquiry we made, and Jim was available to meet several times for consultation throughout the several month-long process. During the final negotiations, Jim handled the buyers (and us) with the right suggestions and outlook. We thank the Miller team for doing a great job.”

“Andrew and the whole Miller team have been great in our home purchasing adventures. With upwards of a year and over 10 offers written on different places they never showed tiredness or defeat over the long process. Andrew and Jim were with us every step of the way offering great advice, scheduling appointments, and so on. I highly recommend this family of very knowledgeable realtors.”

“The Miller team was very professional and friendly throughout the process. Very knowledgeable for both selling and buying. Great advice and better attention to detail!”

“Buying our first home with Andrew Miller as our realtor was an absolute dream experience. Having Andrew as our realtor was amazing, knowing he is born and raised in Nanaimo, just like my Fiancé and I, Andrew knew exactly what were looking for and where in Nanaimo we wanted to live. My Fiancé and I have been thinking about buying a house for over a year. Once we decided that we were ready, we reached out to Andrew and got the ball rolling. Andrew showed us many homes that fit what we wanted, but never pushed us to purchase something that didn’t check all of our boxes. Andrew is kind, professional, and very open to answering all of our crazy questions as this was our first time buying a house and we were learning throughout the entire process. Most people think of realtor’s as “sale’s people” and how they only care about selling a house to make a profit. Andrew was not like this at all. He was always available for us to contact him and never made us feel stressed about how hard it was to find the perfect home. Andrew made this the best experience for us and I would recommend him and the Miller Real Estate Team to anyone who is searching for a place to call home.”

“We had such a great experience buying our new home with Travis! He was always available when we had questions, gave us great advice throughout the process, and made everything feel straightforward and stress-free. Travis genuinely cares about his clients and puts in the effort to make sure everything goes smoothly. We couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out. Five stars all the way and would absolutely recommend him!”

“My husband & I have bought and sold many homes in our lifetime and the Miller Real Estate Team was hands down the very best we've ever dealt with. We were impressed by their professionalism and their marketing strategies. We highly recommend them to anyone considering buying or selling a home and we would definitely have them handle any future transactions of ours.”

“The Miller Team - they offered us expertise, confidence, and support while needed during the sale of our Mom's home. WITH SUCCESS!!!!!!”

“I recently moved to the island and had an excellent experience working with Travis, Joan, and Vicky. Buying a house can be overwhelming with so many details to consider, but Travis and his Team made the process smooth and stress-free. Travis stayed on top of everything from start to finish, ensuring no detail was overlooked. I couldn't be happier with the level of professionalism and support they provided. I'll definitely recommend them to my family and friends for their real estate needs. Thank you again for making this such a positive experience!”

“Andrew Miller is an absolute pleasure to work with. He has a wealth of information and knowledge when it comes to the purchase of a home. His work ethic is amazing he is always available to answer any questions and to offer more advice and tips. Thank you Andrew for making our venture so easy!”

“The Miller team was professional, knowledgeable and efficient throughout our house sale and purchase. What stood out to me was a high standard of practice, patience for our busy family as well as strong advice and support through the whole process. They were recommended to us and we will recommend them to our friends and family!”

“Travis Mickelson helped us find our dream home on the island! Couldn't ask for a better realtor! Very professional, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond and we so appreciate him. Would definitely use him again and highly recommend. Knows the area. Always got back to us in a timely manner. He really helped with the home buying process. Thank you Travis!”

“A BIG thank you to Joan Miller and the Miller Real Estate Team! My property was listed and sold within 5 days for a lot more than I expected. Great to have Joan's expert advice and the listing exposure (MLS plus 7 more websites). Now time to buy another property!!”

“This is an excellent result and I want to thank you [Jim] and your team for handling everything so perfectly. I am sure the promotional video and the social media blitz had much to do with the excitement that was generated, which in turn led to a full price offer with a quick closing. I couldn't be happier.”

“You have a gift of being attentive and keeping in touch with all your clients. I never had a doubt you were a skilled REALTOR®, but now that I have tried several, I know you are superb at your job. I will continue to recommend you without hesitation.”

“Excellent experience with Jim and Andrew. Both extremely knowledgeable about the Nanaimo market and clearly understood what we were looking for. Would highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future.”

“You [Joan] are an amazing REALTOR® and human being. You have just the right touch - professional and efficient yet caring and compassionate. Thank you so much for making this difficult time so much easier.”

“When it came time for us to purchase real estate in Nanaimo, we called Vicky. As we were out of town purchasers, it was important to be able to view properties in advance online and then to maximize our viewings when in town. Vicky was excellent at keeping us up to date online with all the listings and in arranging the viewings. When we found the right property, she expedited the offer process and was fantastic throughout the entire process. Very friendly and professional, we would recommend Vicky to anyone wishing to purchase real estate.”

“Travis helped us find and buy the perfect house in Nanaimo. As we weren't based on the island, he arranged multiple viewings back to back when we came over for one day. He gave us good advice that allowed us to secure a house with our first offer. He's very personable, honest and helpful. He shows great attention to detail, is always available to give advice or answer questions and even sometimes proactively reaches out to ensure you have the right information to make thew right decisions. As first-time buyers, we couldn't be more happy with his services.”

“Dealing with Jim and Andrew was an absolute pleasure. Seamless process, very responsive and completely professional. They have a full team in their office that manages everything, but both Jim and Andrew were accessible to us for every aspect of selling our house, to showing us properties to buy. Our sale was very quick and we were confident that nothing was missed. Jim patiently explained every step of the process with details which helped us to make the right decisions. Very honest family business. We used them in the past for a purchase, then for this sale, and would recommend them to anyone wising to buy or sell.”

“I very much enjoyed working with Joan Miller and her team. They are very helpful, professional and they can go the extra mile if needed. I have purchased three properties through Joan Miller and I feel that she always has my back. I highly recommend them.”

“Faced with a deadline to secure a new rental in Nanaimo's lean rental market, while still holding a mortgage in Alberta, we decided instead to purchase in our new hometown. Vicky understood completely what we needed and set up appointments quickly to overcome our deadline and also worked well within our budget. Vicky also introduced us to the local professionals we needed to secure our rapid closing requirements. We're very happy with the total package Vicky provided and would recommend her for all your real estate needs.”

“I would just like to thank Travis Mickelson of RE/MAX for the exceptional service I was given during my purchase. I was able to find my beautiful new home in a very short amount of time as I had a quick turnaround. He was always on time and listened to what I was looking for in a home. He came through for me and made what could have been a stressful time, go smoothly. Thanks again Travis for your professionalism in working with me. I would recommend Travis to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.”

“We can't say enough about Andrew and the Miller Real Estate Team. Andrew was a pleasure to work with. And we can't stress this enough, he is EXCEPTINALLY good at his job. He guided us through the purchase of our home seamlessly, and when the closing got...difficult... he he was there to walk us through every step of the way, considerably easing a very difficult and stressful situation. Frankly, 5 stars isn't enough. Highly recommend.”

“Joan Miller is truly a real estate professional and I highly recommend her. I listed my house in a very difficult market. Joan took the time to support her pricing recommendations with statistics, data on comparable properties and detailed explanations. She and her assistant provided regular reports summarizing their market activities and provided prompt feedback from showings and open houses. They were responsive to requests, happy to answer questions, kept in regular contact and were positive and friendly to deal with. Due to Joan's good advice and superior marketing services, my house sold. If I ever decide to move again, I'll be calling Joan Miller.”

“Buying or selling your home can be a vey stressful task which is why picking the right REALTOR® is top priority. Choosing Vicky Needham was a great choice, she always made time for us, paid close attention to our housing criteria and detail, and made our experience a comfortable one. Her dedication to getting our house ready for the competitive market was outstanding. By presenting ideas to better the showings or hiring professional photographers to make our house look the best it can, Vicky was always one step ahead. When choosing Vicky, you will get a true professional, a great communicator, and an better listener. We would not hesitate to recommend Vicky to anyone when buying or selling a home. We not only got an exceptional REALTOR®, we also made a great new friend.”

“I recently bought my first home with the assistance of Travis Mickelson, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Travis was incredibly professional and patient throughout the entire process, making what could have been a daunting task feel smooth and manageable. He never rushed me into making a decision, and thanks to his guidance, my family and I found a home we're truly happy with. A big thank you to Travis and the Miller Real Estate team for their exceptional work!”

“We are grateful to the Miller Real Estate team on the recent sale of our home. Alec marketed our home beautifully with a wonderful write up and glossy feature sheet, Andrew arranged the photos, drone footage and provided the expert commentary to the accompanying video. And Jim, well, he really worked some amazing magic to get the deal signed, sealed and delivered. We would absolutely recommend the Miller team to any prospective sellers or buyers as they will take the best care of you throughout the whole process.”

“I have bought and sold with Joan and the team. Both times successfully! Attentive, professional and extremely competent. I would not hesitate to recommend to friends or family. They made the buying and selling process easy.”
