We were moving our medical practices from Alberta to British Columbia. Finding the right home was a major priority. Being from out of province, we wanted to be sure we were in the right hands. Fortunately, we called Rod Friesen and we knew right away that we had made the right choice. We were looking for our dream home with an amazing view. We made trips to B.C. to view homes and Rod always had plenty for us to look at. He set up the viewing schedules, got us through the homes, and in the end he located the perfect home for us with an unbeatable view. The home was under construction and Rod setup a website for us to view updated pictures that he took for us, he kept us up to date with how the home was progressing. His market knowledge was amazing and I will not hesitate to refer friends and family to Rod Friesen in the future. Thanks for all your hard work!

Planning a wedding and searching for our future first home was not an easy task. After contacting Rod he ensured us he would remove the stress from finding that perfect property so we could focus on planning the wedding.Putting our trust in Rod helped put our minds at ease immensely, in knowing that we had the utmost professional Realtor who has the market knowledge to understand our city and what we need.We gave Rod all of the info we were looking for in a home; price, size, location, beds, baths, and he continually met with us with new listings that had just come on the market.Rod narrowed the group of listings down so specifically that after taking us to view only 4 homes, we fell in love with one of them, but Rod’s expertise did not stop there. Rod negotiated the price so well; we saved enough money purchasing the home, that we were able to do multiple renovations and upgrades to the home! We would recommend Rod Friesen to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Rod possesses all of the aspects it takes to be successful, confident Realtor, and we will definitely be using him for our next purchase/sale!

Rod was recommended to us and he delivered with good market knowledge, honest information, and great service. He assisted us in November 2019 with the buying of our Townhome and in May 2020 with the selling of our present home. We had originally planned to list our home in March but the Covid 19 outbreak caused us to put it on hold because of underlying health concerns. In May when things started to open up we asked Rod to list the home with the least number of showings as possible. He listened to our request and within a few days brought us a good offer which we accepted. Home Sold. Thank you Rod. Job well done.

I would like to express my appreciation to Rod for making our home buying and selling experience a very positive one. We greatly appreciated his immediate response to all our questions and his practical guidance which we found very valuable. As we have have lived in our home for approximately 2 decades, we found the idea of buying and selling another home quite stressful. Rod has a very reassuring manner and always provided helpful advice throughout with no surprises. At no time were we made to feel pressured or rushed. We would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a real estate professional.

During the listing appointment with Rod, it became clear to both Bert and I that we had found the right Realtor. We were truly impressed with his easy going manner, thorough knowledge of the area and the current market situation, his professionalism and marketing strategy.
As you well know, it’s easy to be impressed with a skilled sales person. Results are what counts. So I need to say that Rod Friesen’s successful sale of our home in Chilliwack was just short of a small miracle.This sale took place during an incredible down turn in BC’s economy in which Chilliwack was hardest hit.
With an unbelievable 1600 plus listing in Chilliwack alone, his aggressive marketing strategy brought us 4, (can you believe it) offers over the course of 2 months. This happened when home buyers were as scarce as hen’ s teeth . With a careful eye to our true concerns and situation Rod found us two competing offers and negotiated a deal that we could accept. You’d think that would be where his service ended. You’d be wrong.
Bert and I had relocated to another province, so Rod took the time to find us a reasonably priced notary (almost impossible in BC) and kept careful watch over all things to ensure completion of the sale on time. We recommend without reservation Rod Friesen for your realtor. Realtor’s that are successful during boom times are a dime a dozen. Realtor’ s that are successful when things are bad are a rare breed. Rod is one of those!

Our family was in unfamiliar territory in purchasing a vacant lot, on which we plan to build our dream home. There were many unknowns and several hurdles to cross during this process. Rod was able to guide us through the process, and was very helpful in advising us on the steps we needed to take along the way.Rod was acting as a dual agent, but we always felt as if our (the buyer) interests were always protected and never compromised. He is professional, knowledgeable and a very kind spirit.We would recommend Rod to anyone buying or selling a home

It was a pleasure to work with Rod. We were looking for a second home in an upscale townhome complex in the Abbotsford area. There are not very many of these, and being that we were out of country purchasers, we had a few opportunities slip through our fingers. That was until we met with Rod. He kept us up to date with new listings and even managed to get us through two units before they were even on the market. When the right place came along, there were other buyers waiting to buy the unit as well but Rod used his experience and superior negotiating skills to ensure we were the successful purchasers of the unit we wanted.In the end, we got the unit we were looking for (over a year long search) and Rod was a huge part of making that happen. We have already referred people we know to Rod and will continue to do so. We would recommend Rod to anyone thinking of buying or selling real estate.

When my wife and I decided to call him at 8:pm he showed up behind my door at 9:pm the same evening. He was very aggressive and excited about selling our property. Without doubt, we would seek him out immediately for any upcoming real estate transaction in the future.

Rod is wonderful! He was recommended to us by co-workers who live in Abbotsford and he certainly lived up to our expectations. As first-time home buyers with no experience in the real estate market it was great having Rod to lead us through the process. He was knowledgeable about each home we saw and it’s surrounding area. Rod gave his honest opinion as to which areas were ideal, areas that were in transition and areas to stay away from. With his guidance we scored our first home in the popular McMillan area for under list price. Rod is professional, easy to talk to and has a virtual Rolodex of trusted, local professionals for various home projects. We’ve recommended Rod to our family and would happily work with him in the future.

His website provided me a very comprehensive look at the condo I was interested and even provided me more information than the MLS website did. Rod took the time to meet me at condo, show me around the building and in the end got me a great price on the condo.

I am writing this Testimonial on behalf of Rod Friesen of Landmark Realty and Associates. In September of 2013 my wife and I decided that we were going to enter the real estate market of the lower mainland with hopes of buying a condo unit that was affordable, close to all amenities and pet friendly. We had a specific unit style in mind for condo living that included an open concept that was not necessarily renovated but not outdated either.
After surfing the MLS pages for some time we decided it was finally time to find a realtor, someone familiar with Langley and the Fraser Valley and was willing to find us the home that could accommodate our needs. After a few potential candidates that didn’t really understand that they were “needs” not “wants,” in terms of our search, we decided to settle with our gut feelings and chose Rod Friesen of Landmark Realty. Rod proved to be a very talented individual as he consistently found us potential condominiums that were in our specific area boundaries and accommodated our basic needs and requirements.
As the search for the condo continued, Rod suggested that we might actually benefit long term if we broadened our search to include Townhouses in the same area and he would locate some potential properties within the area. The very same afternoon, Rod had emailed us a selection of potential Townhomes that easily fit within our guidelines and re-invigorated our efforts to find the unit for us, the search was narrowing. After many, many, many appointments Rod kept his composure and never wavered, he was prompt and professional and he was adamant on finding us OUR PLACE. This is a true Testament to someone who enjoys their work, who is passionate about truly helping his clients find solace and the place they wish to call home.
They day finally came when after much deliberation and decision making we finally came to a conclusion in our quest for the perfect pad, Rod had found us a townhouse that checked off our “list” of requirements from pets to pantry, a place that would suit us and our potential purchaser 10 years down the road. I would highly recommend Rod Friesen in any real estate transaction as he is hardworking, honest, and reliable as well as a realistic and truly a professional real estate agent that I will absolutely be using in the future. Sincerely, Cameron and Willow Boon

Just want to express how thankful we are to Rod Friesen for his tireless efforts to sell our home. We started out in a less then ideal situation and our original realtor did not market our listing how amazing our property was and we were getting no where.
Frustrated with the lack of interest we decided to do what our neighbors recommended in the beginning and hand our listing over to Rod. It was the best decision we could have made. With multiple offers coming to us within weeks of him taking over our listing our home officially sold in just over a month, thru the holiday season, for full asking price!!!
Rod’s professionalism, marketing strategies and attention to detail are top notch. We could not be more grateful to him and we couldn’t recommend a better real estate agent. Thank you so much.

We bought a house and after three years in Abbotsford, we decided to move to Mission.We noticed Rod’s name on signs around and checked out his web page. We also noticed a new house being built (not yet listed) but Rod knew who the agent was going to be, contacted him and then walked us thru. He offered us his experience in new construction as well as patience. Rod answered all our questions with promptness. Also Rod listed our house in Abbotsford and sold our house in a very short period of time, due to his experience. I find Rod a very honest, hard working realtor who cares a lot about his clients’ needs. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL. I will highly recommend Rod Friesen as anyone’s realtor. Thanks again Rod

Rod did what others could not do in 2 years. When we listed our place with Rod he asked us what our top n bottom price was and said he would be disappointed in himself if he could not bring a buyer to us for this land acquisition deal within 4 months. Not only did we have offers…he only brought us serious buyers and did so quicker than we had expected . There is open communication and gets back to us quickly without having to chase him for answers. It’s been a great pleasure working with Rod . If your looking for up front open communication with no sugar coating he is the one I recommend.

We cannot thank Rod Friesen enough for his hard work and dedication in the sale of our building on South Fraser Way under difficult circumstances. Rod took all the difficulties in stride. He always went the extra mile to promote the listing around the Fraser Valley and also in outside markets. He kept in constant contact with us about the the pros and cons that were communicated to him regarding the listing. We met a lot of other realtors during the process of selling the property and found very few who had the same professionalism and commercial knowledge that Rod had. He is an honest realtor ( difficult to find) and we would highly recommend him to any future clients. You will not be disappointed. We wish Rod all the best in all of his future endeavors.

Being a first time home buyer can be an extremely stressful ordeal, but the guidance and expertise Rod provided, enabled my wife and I to find and eventually purchase a home beyond our expectations. Having no prior real estate experience, we needed a real estate agent that we could trust with our investment. From the moment we enlisted Rod, he kept us updated on newly listed properties until we found something amazing. Despite the fact that the property was outside the area that he normally serviced, Rod was always willing to take the time for us as a couple.
This spoke volumes towards his level of professionalism and client satisfaction.Being in a hot real estate market, the particular property that we decided on went to a bidding war. Rod’s confidence combined with his negotiation skills, ensured that we got the property for the asking price! We would recommend Rod Friesen above all for your real estate needs in the Abbotsford area. Knowledge, guidance and success is what you can expect from Rod… a winning combination

It was very clear to me that I found the right person to help me relocate my family. His experience and advice really helped me feel certain that we made the right decision choosing our new home. He is patient and honest. Rod is also so friendly and answers all of your questions quickly. I will recommend Rod to everyone I know that is selling or buying a home.

I just leased a new industrial warehouse space with the help of Rod Friesen and I couldn’t be happier. I was apprehensive in the beginning as the process, which I had never been through before, seemed overwhelming and difficult but Rod was so easy to work with and made everything so simple and easy to understand. There was never any pressure to commit, he was flexible, knowledgeable, friendly and always responded quickly to texts and or emails. During negotiations, Rod pushed to make sure the terms worked for me and had no problem answering any of my inquiries.

Rod was amazing. He communicated a plan to us as to what the process would look like to sell our home & it happened just as he said he expected it to. He kept us in the loop providing feedback when people had viewed our home. He went through the house before listing it & suggested things we could alter for the best staging for sale. He returned texts & advertised where he could. We had an open house on the weekend & he informed of us the amount of traffic that viewed it. Very down to earth, diplomatic, warm & friendly with a great attitude. I would highly recommend Rod to list or help purchase a home hands down. I’m very grateful to him for selling our home so quickly & for his friendly but professional manner.

Rod was referred to us by a family member. From the outset we were comfortable with the approach Rod took to selling our property. It was a difficult property to sell, with quite a few question marks.
Twice Rod represented the Buyer and us (the Sellers) in transactions on this property and never once did we feel like our situation was compromised.The first deal did not come together, but Rod was professional through the entire process and we always felt like he was working in our best interest even though he was representing both sides.
The second offer again, Rod was working for both the buyer and the seller and did so with utmost integrity and professionalism.We were extremely happy with Rod’s service and would give him our stamp of approval.

I searched the internet to find someone who advertised as being knowledgeable in the condo market in our area. Rod Friesen’s name came up among others. I looked at reviews and all appeared favorable, so I contacted Rod at Sutton West Coast Realty. Shortly thereafter, we met Rod in our home and conversed, so that we could get to know each other and to view our condo. He seemed to have grasped what we wanted to accomplish by moving to another location.
Though we put our place on the market during the slower months with little activity, Rod took us to view places he thought would be of interest to us. Through this process, I believe he was able to help us to firm up, and for him to visualize what we were hoping to find. Understanding which ideals we were willing to give up and/or exchange for another in our current financial reality also became clearer.
We always felt Rod had our best interests in mind. He was friendly but, factual during discussions of current market conditions and he encouraged us to make decisions based on those conditions.
Rod’s experience and expertise helped make the process less stressful and the progression of documents between buyers/sellers, bankers, inspectors and lawyers quite seemless.
We are relieved and excited as we anticipate our move and thank Rod for assisting us in this significant life event.

My husband and I were first time home buyers in a very crazy market. We are so glad that we decided to work with Rod to purchase our first home. With no subjects, multiple offers and prices going 50-100k over asking we weren’t sure we would ever find somewhere to call home. Rod had seemingly endless patience with us and we never felt pressured or rushed to put an offer in. He pointed out things that a first time buyer may not have seen on their own. Rod was helpful, knowledgeable, and made the process enjoyable in a very stressful time to be buying. We would highly recommend Rod as a realtor and will absolutely use him again in the future.

I was looking for a specific condo. Little did I know that Rod Friesen would be able to help me look at any condo in Abbotsford that matched my criteria.Rod kept me up to date with new listings and when the right places came along he set up all the showings and took me through the condos that were in my price range and matched what I was looking for.rnrnIn the end, I purchased a condo that Rod found for me that was NOT EVEN ON THE MARKET YET. I am not sure how he did it, but it was a listing from another agent and Rod took me through before the ink had even dried from the other agent securing the listing.rnrnI purchased the condo at a better value then what others had sold for previously. I would recommend working with Rod Friesen. I will refer my friends and family without a doubt!

Rod spent a lot of time with us before we signed on to be his clients, taking us to see a few places prior to the decision to sell our home. He helped us to properly set our asking price and brought in several interested bidders after only two days. We were able to accept an offer over asking price! After accepting an offer, Rod proved to be a great negotiator and provided us with helpful advice as we began putting out offers on potential new homes.
The home we ultimately decided on wasn’t even on our radar before Rod brought it to our attention. We both appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and genuine interest in making sure we found the right home for our family.

Terrific service! We contacted Rod through his website. He responded quickly and with the information we were looking for. The listing we were interested in was not his own but he took the time to help us through the process and we could not be more thankful. He advised us about the current market (everything was selling way over list price) and he explained why he thought we should offer what we did and it worked out perfectly. We will definitely use Rod again in the future and will absolutely recommend people to use him.

I was introduced to Rod as someone who was an expert at assisting home buyer’s in finding the right home. Rod did just that. He was able to locate a home for me, listed by another real estate agent before the home was even on the market. I was the first to view the home and the first person to write an offer. In the end, Rod’s effort had paid off. His dedication to me, his timely response to questions I had and his willingness to go the extra mile made it an absolute pleasure to work with Rod. I hope to refer friends, family and anyone else I know to Rod for a long time to come. You were amazing throughout the entire process. Thank you Rod, all the best!

We met Rod when looking at a new property which we fell in love with. Our problem was we already owned a home and needed to sell it quickly in order for the purchase to happen. Rod came up with an action plan for us and he was able to list our current home and had it sold within three weeks. Throughout the process of selling and buying our house Rod was very helpful. He was always there to answer our questions and guide us through the process. Rod was up to date with current marketing resources and not only had our listing on MLS, but Craigslist, Facebook, Twitter and many more that we had never heard of.Thank you Rod for all your hard work and for making our sale and purchase as easy and stress free as possible!We would highly recommend Rod Friesen to all our friends and family

Rod came to us through his marketing into our townhome complex. He had sold another unit in our complex and was marketing that he had another couple who was also looking for a unit in our complex. When we decided it was time to sell, we met with Rod to get an evaluation. we had another agent friend at that time and listed with them at the time.We tried to sell with the other agent on 3 separate occasions with no luck. Twice the listing expired and the third time we cancelled the listing as the frustration of the market had gotten to us. We decided to rent our home out as we had purchased a home elsewhere and were often out of the country. When it came time to try to sell again we decided to work with Rod, and we are so glad we did. He sold our unit in half the time the other agent had the home listed and for more than our initial list price with the other agent. Not only did he sell our unit faster, he took the time to get to know the tenants so that when people wanted to look at our home it could be done smoothly and quickly. I believe he is even helping our previous tenants find a home now.Just a quick note to say we are thrilled to have sold our townhouse with such a professional realtor. Thanks Rod

Rod, just a brief note of thanks for the time and effort you have made in our home purchasing efforts. Use any or all of the following as you wish. Finding the right direction in your journey is much easier with an experienced guide providing advice. My wife and I have been financially preparing for a good number of years with the hopes of purchasing a home. Not long ago we realized it was now time to become a home owner but we were very short on experience and understanding in the wide range of real-estate. We asked our mortgage broker and only one name came forward without reservation – Rod Friesen. Right from our first phone call, we were pleased to have Rod as our guide. He added the essential insight to our decision making but did not assume control. Rod also provided us with the time to come to conclusions on our own. We are grateful to have had such a wise and gentle guide in this home buying journey.

From my first phone call to the final signing appointment with my Notary, I had an excellent experience with my realtor, Rod Friesen and would absolutely recommend his services. This was my first experience with selling a home and Rod walked with me through the entire process. He provided timely, sound advice in terms of determining the appropriate selling price, explained every step of the process and was always available through phone, text or email to respond to my queries. I trusted him completely and he helped me immensely with the emotional process of selling my mother’s home. Whether I was home on Bowen Island, at the house in Rosedale or at my mother’s bedside during her hospital stay, I was easily able to navigate the process and complete steps remotely with Rod’s use of electronic documents and email. I unequivocally recommend Rod as a Realtor. His kind, approachable demeanor, his depth of knowledge in the local area’s real estate market and his experience as a realtor shine brightly. Thank you, Rod.

We were moving our dental practice from Alberta to BC. We were moving the business to Mission, trying to buy a home in Abbotsford and trying to sell our home in Red Deer.We found the right location for the dental practice, we found the perfect spot for our custom home in Abbotsford and we had an agent working on the sale of our home in Red Deer. It was a very stressful time, but We wrote a subject to sale offer and then we waited… and waited… and waited longer for our home to sell in Red Deer.When the listing expired we asked Rod if he knew a good Realtor in Red Deer. To our surprise, he did and they were amazing. Rod’s national database of client and Realtors worked wonders for our situation. We were able to get our dream home custom built in Abbotsford and while we were in Alberta, Rod took care of many details on this end. His working relationship with other Realtors and builders ensured everything went smooth and we are now extremely happy home owners. Thanks for all your hard work, this was a long 9 month deal but it never felt like there were any bumps in the road!

Karina and I were first time home buyers. We had initially been working with a few other real estate teams and their ‘buyer’s agents’. We never felt that they were trying to help us buy a home and they eventually stopped contacting us. When we met Rod, it was a breath of fresh air. He was patient with us and took the time to explain to us what was going to be required to purchase a home. Our needs were very specific, and Rod scoured the market for just the right place. He had previewed so many homes in the area that he knew exactly what we were looking for and where to find it (twice). We wrote an offer on what was a perfect condo for us, but when we got the inspection report back it was not to our satisfaction. Within 1 day Rod found us a home with a 2 bedroom legal suite that was in our budget. We will use Rod again, to help us buy and sell, and probably in the near future. We will also refer people we know looking for real estate. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Rod was a pleasure to work with. As a recent widow having to make decisions on my own for the first time in my life, I was unsure of what needed to be done to sell my home. Rod’s patience in explaining the process made what could have been a very stressful time seem far less so. He kept in regular contact with me, reassuring me every step of the way that everything would be okay. With Rod’s experience and knowledge of the market conditions, my house generated a considerable amount of interest and sold within a matter of days. I am thankful for all his assistance and dedication, and would not hesitate to recommend Rod to anyone looking for a great realtor.
Why Client Testimonials Matter
Understanding the Impact of Real Customer Feedback
As a prospective home buyer or seller, you're embarking on one of the most significant journeys in your life. The real estate market, with its complexities and nuances, can often seem overwhelming. This is where client testimonials step in as a beacon of guidance and reassurance. Understanding the impact of real customer feedback is essential for several reasons:
1. Gaining Trust in Real Estate Experts: In the real estate realm, trust is a crucial currency. Testimonials from those who have successfully navigated buying or selling a home provide genuine proof of an agent's expertise and trustworthiness. As you read through these experiences, you gain insights into how agents handle the intricate processes and challenges, giving you confidence in their ability to guide you effectively.
2. Setting Realistic Expectations: Testimonials offer a glimpse into what you can realistically expect during your real estate journey. They shed light on the highs and lows, the challenges faced, and the triumphs achieved by others in similar situations. This information is invaluable in preparing you mentally and emotionally for what lies ahead.
3. Understanding Local Market Dynamics: Every real estate market is unique, and testimonials often contain nuggets of wisdom about local conditions and trends. For buyers, this could mean understanding the competitive landscape of their dream neighborhoods. For sellers, it means gauging the market's appetite and pricing strategies that work.
4. Emotional Connection and Assurance: Buying or selling a home isn't just a financial decision; it's an emotional one. Testimonials provide comfort and reassurance from people who have been in your shoes, faced similar decisions, and emerged successfully. This emotional connection can be a significant source of support during your real estate journey.
5. Influencing Decision-Making: Choosing the right agent or service is a major decision for buyers and sellers. Testimonials serve as social proof, illustrating the successes and strengths of real estate professionals. Knowing that others have had positive experiences can be a key factor in your decision-making process.
6. Highlighting Unique Services: Each agent or agency offers something unique, whether it's in-depth local knowledge, superior negotiation skills, or exceptional customer service. Testimonials can spotlight these special features, helping you find the professional whose skills align with your specific needs.
7. Feedback for Personalized Service: From an agent's perspective, testimonials provide feedback that helps them tailor their services. Understanding what previous clients valued most allows agents to continuously refine their approach, ensuring that you receive personalized and effective guidance.
For prospective buyers and sellers, client testimonials are more than just reviews; they are stories of real experiences, lessons learned, and dreams fulfilled. They serve as a roadmap, helping you navigate the complex terrain of real estate with greater confidence and clarity. In essence, they transform the process from a daunting endeavor into an informed, emotionally supported journey.
