We had a fantastic experience working with this realtor team to purchase a condo in Vancouver. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to representing our best interests. They were attentive, incredibly patient, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. What we appreciated most was their willingness to advocate for us. They didn’t hesitate to ask the sellers to address deficiencies and ensured everything was handled properly before closing. Having someone confident and thorough on our side gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend this team to anyone looking to buy in Vancouver. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and integrity truly set them apart.

Working with Della and Carolyn was an incredible experience. As first-time homebuyers, we were so grateful to have them walking alongside us every step of the way. They thoroughly guided us through the entire home-buying process and were always just a call away whenever we had questions. Their years of wisdom and experience in real estate truly showed, and we valued their insight and guidance throughout the journey. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a real estate team that genuinely cares and is committed to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients.

Della and Carolyn were our realtors when we sold our home in Vancouver and moved to Nanaimo. They both went above and beyond in diligence and helpfulness. When I underestimated the room in the moving truck, Della voluntarily took home my large number of plant pots. A few months later Caroline brought these pots to Nanaimo. One pot did not make the move. Della put it on marketplace.

We are senior citizens who decided to downsize and Della & Carolyn as our real estate agents helped us sell our home and buy a condo / apartment that we liked. They are very knowledgeable about the real estate market and legal aspects of buying and selling properties in Vancouver area. Carolyn and Della helped us find good reliable movers, appliance repairmen, handyman etc. when required. As senior citizens we had some unique challenges that were considered very kindly and with great patience by both of them to make these very challenging time as easy as possible. We recommend this pair of very hard working & knowledgeable real estate agents to all looking for a suitable home in Vancouver area.

It’s an absolute pleasure and honor to write a review for our realtors - Della Gough and Carolyn Rutherford. My wife and I were planning to buy a 2 bedroom condo and we had a strict deadline of 4 months to complete the deal. Tbh, we were a bit stressed about the purchase, especially on the timeline and the possibility of finding the right place in a short time. In fact, we were mentally prepared to make compromises in property purchase as we have heard stories of how challenging and time consuming it can be to find an appropriate place. Huge thanks to Della and Carolyn and all their help and support, not only we ended up buying a place within 2 months but was also able to find a great home beyond our expectations! Below are few striking qualities that we observed in Della and Carolyn 1. Professionalism and clear communication: Both Della and Carolyn are very professional and had excellent communication skills. My wife and I had wide range of questions and concerns regarding purchase. Della and Carolyn were able to provide clear, concise, accurate and honest answers without any delay. This was very important for us to make quick decisions. 2. Attention to details: Della and Carolyn have excellent skills to find even minute details and nuances that mattered. To give an example, Carolyn was able to find many small damages in the property that was overlooked by all of us. This was important for us in decision making. Also prior to giving the deposit on a property, Carolyn and Della reviewed documents carefully from starta and even checked the strata meeting minutes. Thanks to their detective work, Della found numerous building and unit issues related to plumbing, heating and electrical that were not fully resolved or was reoccurring. Without our prompt, Della also reached out to the starta manager to clarify the situation and provided honest feedback and advised us appropriately. All these were extremely critical for us in making the right decision. It was very clear to my wife and I that we were in safe hands. 3. Negotiation and document preparation: Once we liked the property, we entered negotiations with the seller. Della and Carolyn were instrumental not only in aiding negotiations but also in securing a good deal for us. Since seller was located at a time zone almost 12 hours ahead of us, Della and Carolyn worked extra hard to amend documents and make necessary changes rapidly, without any mistakes or delay. We were honestly surprised to see the pace of negotiations and amendments made, as we came closer to signing the agreement. 4. Checklists and Lawyer referral: Once we gave the security deposit, Della and Carolyn provided us a detailed checklist and multiple lawyer recommendations. Since my wife and I were busy at work this was very helpful for us and we were able to coordinate our time to compete the tasks without exhaustion or stress. Lastly, my wife and I strongly feel that Della and Carolyn were not just realtors for us, who helped us find a beautiful home. For us, they were like extended family members. Thanks to their charming and pleasant personality and honest communication, my wife and I felt like we were so blessed to connect with Della and Carolyn in our life. My wife and I highly recommend Della and Carolyn to any prospective home buyer or seller. They are exceptional at their work and we can’t emphasize this enough. We are very confident that they will find you the best deals and your dream home, in a short time. Regards, Libin, Veena and Ezra

Della has helped us buy our first home and then sell it and buy our second home. We appreciate that she listens to what is important to you, and doesn't try and sell you things you don't want. She curates the homes in your neighborhood and budget so well and is very responsive to arrange viewings, multiple of the same home if needed. She points of things to consider that can really influence your decision, like large upcoming projects or red flags. She is kind and considerate. I never felt like she was giving us less time or attention because we had a small budget which we are super grateful for. We have been immensely happy with the homes we purchased with her guidance and support. She made the difficult sell/buy same day thing much less stressful. We highly recommend her! She's the only realtor we will ever use. Marella & Luke

We are so grateful for Della's 'above and beyond' support as our realtor while we were purchasing our first home in Kitsilano, BC. Della offered us great current and historic knowledge of the local area and insight every step along the way from what to look for/avoid, to how to make an offer. Della's years of Vancouver real estate experience gave us a lot to lean back on when making such a significant decision. Della was incredibly responsive and patient, quickly getting back to us with thoughtful answers to even the most basic questions. We loved that Della took the time to really get to know us as a couple, appreciate the stage of life we were in and what we were looking for in a home. Ultimately she helped us find a condo that has been just perfect for us in a community we love!

There are so many things I could say about our experience with Della, but I will just name a few. Besides being friendly and putting you at ease right away, she is also incredibly professional. We have never met any realtor who is so thorough. Della put just as much effort into the small details as she did the big ones. Always made us feel that she was watching out for our best interests so even with some difficult decisions, after discussing things with her, we always felt that we had been guided to the best possible choice, even if it meant not selling right away and waiting for the market to improve. Fast and efficient too. Della is our realtor for life and we have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. Dwayne and Joanne Mitchell.

Della is a very honest and professional agent. This is my first impression from her. Before going to see her open house, her professional pictures and virtual tour had caught my eyes. When meeting with her in her open house, she was very patient to explain to me about the building and the apartment very detail. During whole process of purchasing, I feel comfortable to talk to her. Plus, she is very helpful and knowledgeable. She can prove and answer my question with real documents. If I need one to help me for real estate in the future, she will be a person I consider first. Thank you Della.
