Testimonials

“We recently bought two properties that were represented by Horsefly Realty. We found them easy to work with: professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. Victor was always quick to offer in-depth answers to any questions we had and with Michelle, it is communication par excellence. I would definitely choose to work with them again. “


Juliet Y, Google Review

“Victor and Michelle are professional realtors. Their presentation of our home was of the highest quality. The images, droned video, on site video communication, knowledge of the home, the area and responsive communication with all the interested people resulted in a sale that exceeded our expectations. And they became our friends in the process. We highly recommend their services without any reservations.”

We have had the opportunity to work with them on several occasions when buying property, and each time they have exceeded our expectations. They take the time to understand our needs and wants, and always make our satisfaction their top priority. Throughout the buying process, they have been transparent and upfront with us, never pushing us to make a decision and allowing us to proceed at our own pace. They have been available at all times to provide answers to our questions and offer valuable guidance and advice.

If you’re in the market to purchase or sell a home, we highly recommend choosing Horsefly Realty. They are a top-notch company with a strong sense of integrity and professionalism.

Philip D, Google Review

“We were truly surprised to see just how hard Michelle and Victor worked to sell our place. The amount of time and effort they put in was outstanding. They are very honest, friendly, and knowledgeable realtors/people. We always doubted what a realtor gets paid for until we used them, and now we know, atleast where Michelle and Victor are concerned, they truly earn it. Thank you so much Victor and Michelle for all your hard work during this whole process.”


Cheryl V, Google Review

“I feel totally blessed to have found Horsefly Realty to assist with the sale of my parents “off grid” property. Our situation was complex and the importance of our decision to go with Victor and Michelle would become very evident as the process unfolded. Victor and Michelle went above and beyond our expectations. They were professional, organized, knowledgeable and always receptive and responsive to my parents needs. Victor and Michelle were an absolute pleasure to work with and made the selling of my parents property and the purchase of their new home seamless.

They came with a plan and executed it perfectly. I would highly recommend Horsefly Realty.”


Addie W, Google Review

“We bought a farm in Big Lake recently, and have nothing but good things to say about Horsefly Realty! We really appreciated that Victor took the time to show us this property in great detail, and was always available to answer our questions during the process. Victor and Michelle were really organized so we felt sure that all T’s were crossed and all I’s were dotted, and I would recommend them without hesitation!”


Veronika M, Facebook Review

“If you are undecided on a realtor and are reading this review as part of your research, consider your search to be over. Michelle and Victor can’t be topped! Their professionalism starts with the initial phone call and spans the entire buying/selling experience. From top notch media presentations to highly skilled communication, this team has it all covered. They understand the sellers/buyers needs and empathize with the emotions attached to a real estate transaction. Attention to detail is high on the list of skills, these two bring to the table. We sold our unique property within one week of the initial listing and the entire transaction, including possession date, was done and dealt with in less than 2 1/2 weeks.

Do yourself a favour and make the most out of your investment by signing with Michelle and Victor from Horsefly Realty. Success guaranteed!.”


Thomas S, Google Review

“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with realtors. Michelle and Victor knew we were looking in the area and kept what we were looking for specifically in mind, letting us know of potential properties that came up. Because of their attention to detail and personal approach, we found the home and property of our dreams, through a private sale they represented. They were quick, knowledgeable, kind, ethical, supportive and accommodating. If I ever had to sell a home in the area, I would undoubtedly work with them. Thank you Victor and Michelle!”


“I personally want to express my sincere gratitude to the both of you. The sale of this property was an emotionally difficult one as it was my father’s crown that he was so very proud of. Your professionalism, knowledge, attention to my needs and your knowledge of the industry was so very much appreciated.

Again, you both are exceptional realtors to me and I wish you continued success in your ventures. “


Teresa S, Facebook Review

“Victor and Michelle are absolutely the best realtors and genuine people we have met in the business. We recently had Victor and Michelle list and sell our home, they were very detail oriented and informative. They helped us understand every aspect of the process in a way that we could understand. Victor and Michelle you guys are the greatest and I personally recommend to anyone buying or selling to go with Horsefly Realty and become part of the family. Thank you for helping us get our dream property.”
