Listed by Royal LePage Coast Capital - Oak BayDear Shawn,
Just wanted to say how much I (and really, the whole family) appreciate how you
put your listings together. We've been looking at houses in our neighbourhood
for friends of ours, and so often there is so much information missing from the
listing that we would like to be able to access. But your listings are so
clean, thorough and well put together. Thank you for that. It is one of the
many reasons we put your name out there as often as we can to people. Also,I am
hoping that a friend of ours will be in touch with you in the next couple of
days about seeing the place. Anyway...Please, let your team know that the work
you folks do is noted and appreciated.

"We have purchased 4 homes and sold 4 homes over the past
several years and we have come to know Andrew very well. He has always
done his best for us in every way, often going far beyond any expectations we
might have had. We have benefited from his good judgment and advice, and
his actions have always been in our best interest. Andrew's marketing and
presentation on his web site are superb in all respects. We consider him to be
the very best realtor of the highest integrity and would not hesitate (and in
fact have done so on several occasions) to recommend him to anyone considering
buying or selling a home." -Diana & Jim Black
Andrew & Shawn,
We hope this finds you both well. We want to thank you again for all
your energy, positiveness and commitment in helping us find a place. We
appreciate all your hard work and wish you both the best in your future
endeavors!
Regards, John & Joanna Campbell
Thank you so much for your help and passion put forth to fulfill our
dream

Hello Shawn
A colleague of mine is house hunting, just moved from Vancouver. I gave
her your pager number. I raved about how you found us the perfect house!

"Finding the right house in the right neighbourhood for the right
price is enough of a challenge in one's own city,but doing much of it from
thousands of kilometers away is a real challenge. Andrew listened to our needs
and kept us up to date on the Victoria housing market. His professionalism and
organizational skills allowed us to purchase the house, complete an inspection
and shop for a mortgage, all in two days. We don't hesitate to recommend Andrew
Mara."

A thousand thanks for your patience, perseverance and good advice.

Selling Your Home - Why it Pays to Use a REALTOR®
Before selling your home, you will need a clear understanding of the legal issues and potential pitfalls. One wrong action could result in a lot of cost and frustration, which is why it is essential to have a REALTOR® working with you, as he or she will make the sale of your home a successful and satisfying experience.
Greater exposureREALTORS® use the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) to give your home maximum exposure. MLS® is a computer-based system that relays valuable information about your home to hundreds of REALTORS® and potential homebuyers.
Setting a priceSetting a price for your home is an important but difficult process. Again, this is where the services of a REALTOR® prove invaluable. REALTORS® have the experience to help you understand how the market works and decide upon a realistic price that meets your goals. REALTORS® also pre-screen potential buyers to make sure only those who are serious and financially qualified view your home.
REALTORS® will also develop a marketing plan to help your property receive maximum exposure. This will likely include placing your home on the MLS® system and placing a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn. The plan will likely also include arranging open houses for other REALTORS® and potential buyers, and developing advertisements and feature sheets/mailers to market your home.
Once you have accepted an offer to buy your home, your REALTOR® will help ensure that all the proper paperwork is completed. He or she will also make sure that both parties meet the necessary conditions outlined in the agreement.
Why working with a REALTOR® makes senseWhen you work with a REALTOR® you will likely get a better price for your home than if you try to sell it yourself. Apart from the financial benefits, however, there is an extra measure of comfort and security that comes from having a REALTOR® on your side. Remember that REALTORS® are governed by a code of ethics and standards of business practice. They have also been trained and licensed under the provincial Real Estate Services Act to assist in transactions involving real property. When it comes to buying or selling property, using a REALTOR® just makes sense.
Consulting a
REALTOR® Buying
REALTORS® are
members of The Canadian Real Estate Association who subscribe to a Code of
Ethics and Standards of Business Practice. Members of the Victoria Real Estate
Board are members of both the British Columbia and Canadian Real Estate
Associations.
The
following is a list of services you can expect to receive from a REALTOR® when
you buy a home:
·
A REALTOR® will fully explain the details of your working relationship
(called "agency") so that you are clear as to when a REALTOR® is
working for you or for the seller.
·
A REALTOR® has access to hundreds of current listings of homes for sale
because of a co- operative system called the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®).
·
A REALTOR® can provide you with a customized list of homes that best
meet your needs -- size, style, features, location, proximity to schools,
shopping, etc. - and then make arrangements for you to view those homes that
appeal to you the most.
·
A REALTOR® will help you determine how big a home you can afford.
REALTORs® are familiar with the local
lending market and can offer helpful advice.
·
A REALTOR® has no emotional ties to any type or style of home and can be
objective in pointing out the merits of one home over another.
·
A REALTOR® will have information on zoning changes, taxes, utility costs
and school and recreation services that could affect your decision to buy a
home in a specific area.
·
A REALTOR® will assist you in negotiating the terms of your purchase,
which can be a nerve- wracking process for someone who is not experienced in
negotiating.
·
A REALTOR® will advise you of the legal process required in obtaining
title and taking possession of your property; the costs associated with buying
a home such as insurance, mortgage registration and legal fees will be
explained in detail.

Shawn's Biography
Shawn Adye was born
and raised on the island. He has fond memories of growing up in the Cobble Hill
area. He has lived in Victoria since 1989. After school and a few adventures
through BC and Alberta he settled into a position with CN Rail which he
maintained for ten years. While there he obtained a strong work ethic as well
as a few lifelong friendships.
Shawn's real estate
career started in 1989. With hard work and perseverance he was off and running,
and hasn't looked back since. Shawn's wealth of knowledge comes from the
combination of years in the real estate business, a background in homebuilding
and construction and a lifetime spent in the Victoria area. All these combined
provide Shawn with the tools to assess the market and individual properties and
the necessary skills in representing a client in either the purchase or sale of
real estate.
Shawn has been a
consistent top producer and MLS Award Winner. Part of his success is due to his
ability to help define the needs of his clients and apply his knowledge of the
real estate market to produce the ideal results.
He uses his down time
to weight-train, play hockey and spend time with his family. When he gets a
chance to get away he either jumps on his motorcycle for a tour or heads to the
open waters with friends for a nice long sail.

Andrew's Biography
Andrew grew up in
Vancouver and graduated from Carson Graham High School. He went on to complete
a Photographic Technician Course at Vancouver City College and worked as a
photographer in the commercial and motion picture fields. In his mid 20's he
purchased and lived on a 38' sailboat and over the next 6 years
extensively cruised the BC coast. After selling the sailboat he moved
to Comox and worked at Mt. Washington in the winters, helping to operate the
cross country ski lodge. In the off season he found work in the carpentry field
and made sure there was plenty of time to pursue his passion for ocean
kayaking!
Marriage led Andrew
to relocate to Victoria in 1983 at which time he started his own woodworking
business which eventually led him into a partnership operating Royal Oak
Woodworking which specialized in building custom furniture. After five
successful years in the custom woodworking business family health issues
resulted in Andrew being asked to manage the family business at
Anglers Anchorage Marina. After leaving the partnership he spent the next
few years operating a full serviced facility for 180 boats. When the Marina
sold Andrew decided to pursue an interest he's always had in Real Estate. Andrew
started with Pemberton Holmes Ltd. in the spring of 93. Aside from the joys and
demands of parenthood, his current interests are woodworking, sailing, ocean
kayaking and golf.
Andrew's varied
background has taught him many talents which are proving invaluable in dealing
with Real Estate. Commercial photography, a useful skill in itself, taught him
much about marketing. His knowledge of carpentry has helped many times in the
assessment of a home. In operating the woodwork company he learnt many business
skills, foremost being the importance of customer satisfaction, while as
manager of the marina he honed his organizational skills along with reinforcing
the value of providing a personalized service with competence and honesty.
Andrew's hard work put him in the top 5% of all Victoria Realtors for over
15 years but as of Dec 31st, 2013 he has handed in his licence.
