The following testimonials were written by just some of my happy sellers and buyers. They have all been kind enough to give me permission to show you their correspondence. Their letters and words are very gratifying. It seems that my down-to-earth and honest approach has earned me many friends – I think that’s fantastic!

As amazing a realtor Christine is, I can’t say enough about the kindness and consideration she shows for her clients. She’s a very special human. We’re repeat clients and there is absolutely no other person we would ever use for both the sale of our home and/or the purchase of another. Christine also has the patience of a saint — nothing is ever insurmountable, as far as she’s concerned. Her knowledge of the market and her range of expertise is remarkable, and I think her holistic view of how she deals with clients is a gift. I will recommend Christine to anyone looking to successfully buy or sell, knowing that she will have their back throughout the process.

Christine went above and beyond! She was quick to answer questions, was available any time I needed her even after the sale, was checking in in a timely manner, was very professional in her recommendations for a successful sale! We are very happy with her work, and highly recommend her!!!

If all staff at HomeLife Benchmark Realty (White Rock) Corp is like Christine Tobias PREC, it’s a wonderful agency!”

A. Kollar & Z. Csontos


I felt Christine Tobias made a personal connection on our first telephone call, and she was so pleasant to deal with on every occasion. She made us feel as if we were special 🙂

We found Christine a pleasure to deal with and she went above and beyond our expectations. I will have no hesitation in recommending Christine, and we are very appreciative of all she did. Just make sure she takes enough personal time off – our sale went through while she was holidaying in Italy and yet she still kept in touch with us frequently – which was greatly appreciated.

She was amazing and was attentive to what I was looking for and I appreciated that she was just as dedicated to finding a place for me as I was despite there being multiple voices being involved. I respected that she was able to focus on what I was trying to find.  I cannot thank Christine enough for all the effort she put in to help me find my home. She answered my multitude of questions and assisted me as a beginner in purchasing the property and took the time to teach me the steps. She went above and beyond.

Christine is a true professional and I will definitely use her again in the future. I have recommended her to my family and friends.

Selling a specialized custom log home can be very difficult. Christine never gave up and helped keep me grounded as it was a very stressful time after losing my spouse and having to sell our dream home. She was a delight to work with, very professional and always available to answer questions.

Z. Kollar


I was very satisfied with Christine’s ability to understand my needs and proceed with the sale of my home. She has vast knowledge and is easily approachable at all times within reason when I needed her. 

D. Curry


I selected Christine primarily because she had sold another apartment belonging to my mother in the building. There is nothing but positive reports about Christine. With multiple units for sale in the building – she continued to be the one that was knowledgeable and to push a sale through.

“We chose Christine and Edmund because they were the selling agents on the house we previously bought and we were very impressed with their knowledge of the property as well as respect and professionalism they showed us.

We have bought and sold numerous houses over the past 10 years and have experienced good and bad but Christine Tobias is by far the best that we experienced. She is a great realtor but more important, she is a great person. We highly recommend Christine to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

Colin and Stephanie, Coquitlam


“Christine is the consummate real estate professional.  She protected my interests to a fault.  Christine is patient, critical, objective, approachable, observant, detail oriented, informative, efficient, thoughtful and generous.

Would I recommend Christine to others searching for the perfect new home?  Most definitely and without hesitation.

A very happy and extremely satisfied home buyer”

“Christine is hands down amazing, first she sold my house in less than 2 days after the previous 3 realtors could not. She also got me a price the last 3 realtors said it couldn’t be done at that price. She proved them wrong. Christine also helped us find our dream home when I was very stressed looking she was always there to give us advice and be truthful about any houses we looked at. Christine is very good at her job! I’ve had the best experience with her and she will always be my first choice. Christine is very friendly, persistent a hard worker and very knowledgeable. I will recommend her in a heart beat ! Thank You Christine for a life changing experience.”

Ron Biglow Coquitlam

Carrie Hunter


“Christine was a consummate professional helping my family deal with the sale of 50% ownership of my father’s estate. Christine understood all of our needs, requests and came through with flying colors in all aspects of our dealings and with the sale of the property. I was very impressed with her level of communication and I appreciated all of the updates that were provided along the course. I would not hesitate to use Christine again in the purchase or sale of any other properties.”

Geoff Shellard (Sale)


“I just spent my first two weeks on Gabriola and I love it! I just can’t stress enough how eternally grateful I am that you are you! Thank you for your great work and friendship, you changed my life and that makes my children grateful too! I am truly at peace and I pray God blesses you for your diligence and heart! So I just want to encourage you to keep up all that good stuff you are. The world could use it”

C. M. (Sale & Purchase)


“Christine Tobias is the best realtor we have ever utilized the services of, and believe me when I say we have used several agencies over the years and several realtors. We would not hesitate to recommend Christine as the most consciencious, hard-working, personable and knowledgeable realtor you could wish for. Don’t be fooled by her youthful countenance! She is a formidable worker and has a strong work ethic that really can’t be taught — it’s just part of who Christine is.

It’s been a geat pleasure to work with her and to have her market and sell our condo. We are almost sorry the experience is coming to an end 🙂 Thanks for everything, Christine. ”

Barbara Dickson – South Surrey (Sale)


“Thank you so much Christine! It may not have happened so quickly without all your enthusiasm and hard work. It was fun working with you. Thank you!!!

R. McKenzie, Richmond (Sale)


“Christine is an excellent realtor. She is very knowledgeable and has great communication. Christine understood and acknowledged my needs when looking for a new home, especially with children. She provided me with several options. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new place.”

Salesh Singh, Langley (Purchase)


“Christine was our realtor in purchasing our home. She is a kind of person who takes her time out for u in every way. Christine handled everything well and kept us updated about everything. We have learned a lot from her over these past months. She has become a very good friend. Thank you Christine for everything you have done for us, we wouldn’t have done it without you. I wish her the best in the future in all her paths she chooses and lots of success. She will be well recommended from me to all my friends and family keep up the good work Christine, lots of love from the Khan Family. “

Khan Family, Surrey (Sale & Purchase)


“My husband and I are new in Canada, almost a year ago when we were thinking of buying a home. We knew nothing about the home buying process in Canada so I went online to try and find information.
I came across Christine online and sent her an email explaining our situation, she emailed me back with lots of helpful info. For a few months while I was doing my home buying research I would email her with questions and she always replied with useful information.
So when we finally got our deposit together and found the right house I already had a realtor in mind and I did not consider using anyone else.

Christine Tobias made our first Canadian home buying experience a very pleasant and stress free one. Thank you so much.”

Roselyn and Toby, North Vancouver (Purchase)


“She came well prepared for our first meeting. She quickly showed that she is thoroughly professional but equally sensitive to human needs.

We were impressed with her contacts and sales activities going beyond what we precieve to be normal realtor efforts.

A great spirit!

Christine handled everything for us.

Christine is an all around excellent realtor!”

George and Josianne, moving to New Brunswick (Sale)


“Christine is a hard worker and we cannot stress how invaluable she was in selling our home! Christine listened to our concerns, is caring, passionate and knows how to get the job done. My husband and I would highly recommend Christine and plan to keep her in mind when we are ready to sell in the future.

Thank you for all your help and guidance Christine! We could not have been as successful as we were without you!”

Andrea and Baron, Surrey (Sale)


“We presented Christine with the challenging task of selling our home quickly as we had already found and purchased the perfect house for us which Christine also assisted with purchasing. We also had our wedding coming up so we did not want to be moving during our wedding. She had the tough task of dealing with a few other listings that went up at the same time as ours. Christine immediately took charge and had professional photos taken and listed our place. She hosted 3 open houses and had a number of showings. Within 2 months she had a buyer and our place was the only one that was sold out of the other units. She always had our best interest in heart. She was extremely patient, professional and very well organized. We could not be happier and highly recommend Christine.”

Azadeh & Brad, Richmond (Sale & Purchase)


“Christine was an amazing gift in our search for a new home. After ten years in our much loved family home we were moving for all the right reasons but had many mixed feelings and so were unclear about exactly what we wanted. I gave Christine a wish list which she adhered to flawlessly finding many homes that hit the target.

However, we kept changing our minds and wishes as we began to understand the marketplace. I think we would have stopped looking (as we had done twice previously) had Christine not had remained so positive, flexible, willing and accommodating. Every time we (I ) came up with ” hey I saw this on MLS what do you think?” Christine did her due diligence and checked out the property even though it was not what we had thought we wanted originally. When we were ready to make an offer, she went to city hall and spoke with planners, researched bylaws and zoning all to answer the “what if” questions . She dug up community planning documents, orders in council and the history of the property we were making an offer on. All of this she did with a smile and a ” no problem” attitude.

Through no-one’s fault the negotiations with the sellers were difficult and Christine again remained positive and reassuring even when the deal fell through the first time she was pragmatic and matter of fact that maybe it was not meant to be. But her approach won out in the end when the sellers opened up negotiations again.

All of Christine’s hard work made our decision making easier and we felt confident in making a move into a $1.23m home in a new City 17 miles away. Christine is diligent and honest. She has no hidden agenda she truly wants to help you to find the home of your dreams and she works hard for that from morning to night. Thank you Christine this was a monumental decision for us and we felt supported all the way along. We love our new home and hey it’s only a 20 minute commute to work in the morning!”

Lesley and Kim, Langley (Purchase)


“My wife and I were shopping around for Townhouses. With Christine’s help, we were able to locate on in the Surrey Fleetwood area. As there were multiple offers for that property, Christine used her awesome people skills to persuade the seller to accept our offer which was NOT even the highest bid.

Thank you Christine.”

Rachel and Hui


“Christine is an awesome realtor to work with. We had hired her to sell our condo. She was polite, cooperative, understanding and very helpful and very professional. The sale of our place went very smoothly and took less time than we expected. Christine went above and beyond our expectations. She kept us updated with every showing of the condo that took place and what she thought about the reactions of the potential buyers. We did not live in our condo so it was nice to know what was going on. If there was an issue that needed to be resolved she worked with us to resolve it. She explained the process therefore I knew exactly what was to be expected. She knew we both worked and she worked around our schedule for signing papers and having meetings. I liked the fact that I was comfortable with her and she was not pushy and the fact that she always seemed like she had time to listen to us.”

Michelle and Rik


“I’ve known Christine for many years now. She’s very dedicated to her profession. She helped me with purchasing my new townhouse and took the time to help me look at several places until I found the ‘right one’.

Big thank you to Christine for your great work.”
