During the whole time, he was patient, personable and professional. His advice really helped us and we felt like he really fought for us in such a competitive market. Have already recommended him to friends
He is very professional and available all the time, being able to help us with the whole process of moving from California to BC. He is also very good at negotiating, got us a great price in this competitive market. Very satisfied, 100% recommended
Elio was our rock throughout and sold our house in a slow market. Pleasant, funny and always available. Elio will get you through it and get you a deal. Karen and Don
Another great thing that we appreciated about Elio is how he gave us space during open houses to go explore and his "no pressure" approach when it came to making decisions. Overall, I would highly recommend Elio since he is a realtor that truly cares about his clients needs!
Dont know what kind of "magic ;) he used, but the original owner agreed to a first offer (great deal bdwy) and there I was packing my way out of rental going 2 my "own" for the first time in my life, that said I had no idea what and how to do in this (not an easy) process of buying, But I had Elio, he just appeared, reappeared, texted took care of ABSOLUTELY everything, was Always available, answered all my questions and here I am planting flowers in The cutest garden that is mine MANY THANKS 2 the best realtor ever Elio Parente !!
He was showing two units in a building and immediately took the opportunity to make myself and my girlfriend feel really welcome. To my surprise, within the hour after leaving the open house Elio had emailed me with other condo listings and a real genuine interest in wanting to work together to find me the right unit. Throughout the next few weeks we saw 20+ listings together and never did I feel pressure to commit or concede to anything that wasn't 100% what I wanted. I know looking back I was a stubborn buyer with certain must's I wasn't going to budge on and even when I temporarily committed to buying a unit and changed my mind because of one of my non bendable rules I got nothing but understanding from Elio. Over two years later we remain friends in contact and I have a perfect condo that I still love. The best thing for me about Elio is that he was committed to the city and community I was looking to live in since he lived there himself!
As someone who has worked closely with him and on more than one occasion, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Elio has all the expertise you could ask for, he is professional, honest and extremely easy to work with. He has put my mind at ease many times when I was unsure or had challenging decisions to make during the process of buying/selling. He always has great suggestions and I have already recommended him to friends and family. Whether you are a first time home buyer or experienced in real estate he will make the process as stress free as it can be for you. To add, he is extremely hard working and very efficient at what he does. He is always there when we need him ! Look forward to working with him again in the future. Thank you Elio for all of your hard work, patience and above all the time you have dedicated to helping us find the right home, once again.
Like seriously, that's unheard of in this market! He is super motivated to help you, will go to great lengths, always positive and knows when to be a shark when negotiating on your behalf. I appreciated he didn't leave us high and dry after the sale went through. He kept in touch and helped us with strata stuff and stuff for our renos. He's definitely an expert for New West; aware of everything going on in the market, but also the lower mainland. I even heard he offered to scout out homes on Vancouver Island for my mom's friend who lived abroad. Like this guy will go to great lengths to help you. We've recommended him to friends and friends of the family so I can definitely reco him for you here.
For my first time buying a place he walked me through all the steps making the process a breeze. Elio is very knowledgeable with all of the areas of New Westminster and the whole Lower Mainland. When it came to selling 10 years later, he sold my house in four days getting more than we asked. He is extremely professional, personable, and detailed oriented. He staged my home to sell using a dynamic team consisting of not just him but a professional stager and photographer as well. His sales results speak for himself. You won't be disappointed!
He demonstrated excellent product knowledge and was helpful in ensuring that we found a property that met our needs. He went above and beyond to assist us and we were very happy with the service.
I really appreciate the insight info which is useful for clients that you provided. Thank you for all you did to help me buy my home. Wishing you continued success! Tina
He was our agent for our condo purchase and again two years later when we completed the renos and were ready to sell. Always helpful -a confident realtor who knows the market and is ready with good advice for both buyers and sellers. When selling we like to hear from our agent regularly and Elio could be counted on to give us feedback on viewings and open houses right away. In the end, he got us more than we expected for our place in good time. We've already recommended him to friends getting into the market for first time.
We were upsizing and were looking at a lot of places. Elio was with us each step of the way. Extremely knowledgeable and able to explain all the situations to us fully. He manage to predict all the prices that things would go for to the tee. Found that skill essential for our search. Managed to find our dream home for the price we wanted. With our new place, we put ourselves where we had to sell our condo in a big hurry. Again, he managed to call on his vast resources, got everything organized for us and managed to get a buzz. Bottom line: he got our place sold in 5 days for over asking and set a highest price benchmark for similar units sold in our building. What more can someone ask for? So would absolutely recommend Elio as realtor for buying or selling. He is super friendly and funny, genuine(so hard to find), an expert in his field, and will give himself 100% to any client. Choose him and you won't regret it. Best choice I ever made.
Elio is informative, has his clients best interest at heart, and makes himself available for any questions you may have. He is professional, organized and has a great personality. Purchasing a house for the first time was overwhelming but Elio made it much easier for us. We found our house within a week of contacting him. We never would have considered the house he showed us due to it being over budget, but he was able to bring down the price and we couldn’t be happier. I recommend Elio to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a house. Thanks again Elio!!
He always has his client's best interest in mind and will go above and beyond to make sure they are getting the best deal possible. I have personally worked with him in the past and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.
He is one of the most professional, responsive, passionate and knowledgable realtors I have ever met. His drive is like no other and his passion for real estate truly shows. I am so glad my husband and I used him to sell our home and purchase a new home. He has made the buy and sell experience so fun for us! He is by his phone what seems like 24/7. He will answer any questions in the middle of the night whether its a weekday or weekend. I strongly suggest Elio to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He definitetly knows all the ins and outs of real estate im B.C. He also has amazing connections and contacts (mortgage brokers, staging and photography for selling, attorneys and accountants) He is well connected! So glad to have found him!
