Best person to work with for first time buyers. Emily took time and effort in explaining what to expect and even when situations were not as expected she always had your back! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! We couldn’t be happier with our new home!

From the beginning to closing date, Emily has been amazing, friendly, patient, knowledgeable and extremely professional. As a first-time buyer, she was always there to answer all my questions and to help me figure everything out. She always made sure to be available at my convenience. Emily also set up an online page with listings she found that fit my criteria, so it would be easier for me to compare the listings, as well as YouTube videos explaining the process. I am extremely happy with everything Emily has helped us achieve and would 100% recommended her to anyone that is looking to buy or sell property.

Emily was instrumental in securing our first property in Canada. We went to see several properties and she has given good advice as to which properties we would love and will work for our family. Will definitely call on Emily again if we decide to upgrade.

"I am a first time home buyer and was nervous about the whole process. I found Emily's profile online and read through the numerous positive reviews. I am so glad I decided to work with Emily!
She was patient and took the time to answer all my questions, no matter how trivial they seem. She has made the process very enjoyable and calming as can be. She talked me through the negotiations and helped put some things into perspective.
On the day of the move, she even put in an emergency call to Molly Maids to come and clean as the previous owners had left the place dirty. You are in good hands with Emily!

Emily sold our home for us and we were impressed with her dedication, research, and patience.
She set us up with a stager and photographer to help get the best features of our home for all to see.
She has been very patient with us as we kept changing our minds and we couldn’t agree on everything.
We never felt rushed and she is a pleasure to work with.

Selling our townhouse with Emily Ching was an amazing experience. She offered the services of a professional stager and photographer to help us show the property at its best.
Emily advertised the property effectively, and spent numerous hours talking with other real estate agents and potential buyers.
She was courteous and efficient with all showings in our home, and worked with us to make the experience as smooth as possible.
During every step of the process, Emily was available for consultation and to guide us through the process of completing the sale on our property.
I would recommend Emily to all my friends and family!”

"Amazing! Simply amazing! Emily not only took the time to listen to us, and understand our needs, but she also connected with us. We found in Emily not only a REALTOR but family.
That only happens when the other person knows what you want, what you need and what you think even without you having to say a thing. Her advises proved insightful and timely.
To put it in simple words...she helped us find more than a house... our home! "

"Emily was AMAZING at supporting us through our first home buying experience.
We could not have asked for a better agent - very patient and the type of person who,
if she didn't happen to know the answer to your question, would happily find it out for you.
It was so nice to work with someone who never made us feel we were too picky.
She genuinely cares and wanted us to be happy. She conducts her business with the highest ethics.
She really represented us well, kept as informed, and always returned our messages or phone calls.
Nothing was too much trouble for her- she really went the extra mile for us.
We are one very satisfied client."

My wife and I started looking for our own first place recently, and, as first-timers, we were finally able to get a simple place of our own.
We were as excited as we were clueless (OK, especially me).
We did find the various self-help MLS realty database websites very helpful, as this enabled us to get a better idea of what and where we could afford. I even started to think we would only need a realtor for the formalities, as I thought we could find and choose a place on our own simply using the online databases.
Nope. There is a lot more to getting a place, especially for first-timers. We tried a couple of agents, but were less than satisfied with their aptitude and/or attitude. And then we met Emily during our house-hunting, while visiting one of her open houses. We were so impressed with her approach and very positive and helpful attitude that we asked her to be our agent.
Continuously ever since then, we have been very impressed with and grateful for not only her skill and knowledge in the field but also how well and thoroughly (and patiently!) she walked us through everything and made sure we got a place that suited our budget and needs (which can be a difficult balance for a family with limited needs but high standards, not wanting to settle for "good enough").
She encouraged us to take our time to research and think things over carefully, and helped us negotiate a realistic and fair purchase price that makes everyone happy. Meanwhile, contrary to our expectations due to having recently bought a car, we never felt rushed or pressured.
In contrast, she emphasizes education, often promoting events or lectures or E-mail-outs that generate no immediate income for her, but help educate clients on many aspects and issues of buying and selling one's home.
Now, after a few months of house-hunting, we are the proud owners of a place that we love and can afford, and where we can enjoy living for many years, primarily due to her great assistance.
I highly recommend Emily to anyone wanting to buy or sell any real estate.

Emily is well organized. Once she has an idea of what you're looking for, she searches the listings and finds what you might be interested in. I'm glad i didn't have to do the work of sifting. Thank you Emily.

We were so fortunate to have Emily as our realtor in purchasing our first property, which now call our own home. We found ourselves in a precarious situation when our landlord decided to sell the unit that we were renting at. The unit feels like home to us and we decided that we wanted to own it instead of moving out during this pandemic times. We were so glad that Emily was referred to us. The whole experience went smoothly under the guidance of our professional realtor. Emily was always available to answer our questions. She is very knowledgeable and gives expert advices that puts our minds at ease. Not only have we developed good client-realtor relationship but we also gained a new friend. We will definitely be recommending her to our friends and families.

Emily was very instrumental in helping us dispose our old residence and upgrade to an even better home. She listed suggestions that were reasonable, yet significant, in helping us get the best value out of our property. She was also extremely patient as we went through one listing to the next to find THE ONE most suitable to the needs of each member of the family, and within our set budget.

I live overseas and hence the whole sales process was like a long distance relationship!
It required someone to work diligently at varied hours of the day and night to accommodate
the 15 hours time difference between where she lived and where I was.
She would often call me, send me text messages, and many emails to ensure I was getting updates regularly.
I wanted to be made aware and transparent to the whole process which Emily certainly brought to the table.
The whole sales process from start to finish went without a hitch.
One of the first things she did was to read up and get herself fully aware and armed with the Strata Rules and Regulations.
Emily knew the property market conditions, and historical sales trend of my development.
This allowed to her to advise objectively backed by factual research she had done;
hence we were able to sell my property at just over 97% of the asking price!
Emily is hard working, trust worthy, and knowledgeable.
I would definitely enlist her expert services again and would recommend her to be anyone's REALTORⓇ."

“Thank you for you selling my property so quickly!
I know that November & December are the slowest months to sell
but you gave me very impressive results - and you sold it at the end of year!
Thank you so much again! Emily, you are one of the best agents I have ever used, and I would recommend you for anyone who needs a real estate agent.”

My family and I reached out to Emily in hopes to sell our home and we were extremely impressed with how professional, kind, and knowledgeable she was. Not only did she provide us with insight during the whole process, she made connections with us and understood what we were looking for.
Selling and buying a new home went very smoothly due to all of Emily’s hard work. She kept us updated the whole time which we appreciated as well. Thank you so much Emily! I highly recommend Emily to anyone wanting to buy/sell their home.

Finding our first home was a real challenge for us. But Emily has put us at ease and guided us through the entire process. We simply gave her our preferences and we were amazed on how passionate and hardworking she was. She came up with a number of well-researched properties, with historical and market data, each time for our comparison and decision making.
She sets convenient viewing appointments and goes through each property with us as if she were the buyer herself. Emily has been very generous with her expert advise and provided timely detailed answers to all our questions. She has been very patient all throughout until we found the right home. All we did was to give the final decision and she helped us with all other matters related to the purchase.
Our relationship did not end just there. She followed through even long after we moved in
to ensure that we are well settled in.
We definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking to purchase or sell their properties.
She is someone sure to exceed your expectations."
