WORDS FROM SOME HAPPY CLIENTS: “Rosanna, as we’ve told you many times, it was an absolute pleasure to purchase our new home through you and to list our existing property for sale. We constantly remarked to one another about what a fun and caring individual you are - and we are forever grateful for your dedication, hard work... and especially your patience... as we searched for our new home.”

Catherine and Tony - Nanaimo BC “Our search for a home in Nanaimo began in a local newspaper, where Rosanna’s listings caught our attention immediately. Rosanna certainly lived up to our expectations when we met her in person. She was informative and professional, while at the same time good-humored and friendly. She was never pushy or demanding. Our long distance negotiations demanded a lot of her time, but in the end everything went smoothly and we are very happy with our island home. We would absolutely recommend Rosanna and James to anyone requiring their VHUYLFHV 3HUVRQDOO\ ZH UHJDUG WKHP DV WKH ¿UVW RI PDQ\ QHZ IULHQGV ZH KRSH WR PDNH LQ RXU new home.” Chuck & Zdenka Butler, Calgary AB

Semi-waterfront in beautiful Cedar-by-theSea, just minutes South of Nanaimo, B.C. This unique, beautifully maintained home with mature and manicured half acre corner lot overlooks Dodd’s Narrows and Mudge Island. Beach access right across the road!

Approximately 2000 sq. ft. on two levels, with one bedroom/bath up and one bedroom/bath down. The huge family room on lower level would allow for a third bedroom as well. The entire basement could easily be an in-law suite with separate entrance and great ocean views. Lots of parking with carport, garage and concrete pad for RV’s. Panoramic views of the straits, marine life and boat traffic from sundeck and most rooms. Wonderfully large working kitchen with oak cabinets. Situated on a no-thru road in very quiet neighbourhood. This is a very comfortable home with an extraordinary location.

Beautifully updated 3 bedroom rancher in great Uplands location. New laminate, tile and cork flooring and beautiful modern trim are just some appealing features in this nicely flowing home. Rarely found in ranchers, this home boasts two family rooms which lend the opportunity for a formal living room and a rec room. The new maple kitchen features a beautiful glass tile backsplash, new counter tops and new high-end stainless appliances featuring a slide-in stove. The kitchen is open to a dining area and walks out to a large deck, which is fantastic for entertaining and only steps away from ample fruit trees and a great garden area in your private yard. The property is very large (.22 acre) and has a very clean detached workshop/garage and a huge storage shed on foundation.

All of this in one of Nanaimo’s most convenient locations close to great schools, shopping and recreation.
