This is my third time working with Team Invest West and we always have a great experience. This time we worked with Samantha who was fantastic! She was always there when I had any questions and came back with thoughtful, honest and prompt responses. You can tell she loves what she does and cares about her clients!

Mandy just helped us into our first home. She was very attentive to the details and time constraints, and made the work on our end much less stressful. We learned a lot from Mandy, and she was on the ball with all of our questions and requests. We got our home and were left smiling and grateful for all the help and hard work on her end. If you're looking for a professional and invested agent to help you into the market, I recommend Mandy 100%

Excellent service and exceptional experience. Mandy always goes above and beyond for a very pesonal experience with every individual. Will make time for you anytime of the day in this very busy market which is the difference in getting and accepted offer and not. Punctuality is a must. Gets you the best price ans suggestions possible to compete with others in multiple offer situations. Have bought 3 houses through Mandy and will continue to do so moving forward.

Mandy is a dream real estate agent. Friendly, approachable and efficient.

She was one step ahead of me and provided information to questions I’d yet to ask. We felt good knowing she had us covered. Do yourself a favour and call Mandy and her team for the very best service.

Mandy is an excellent agent and was imperative in the purchase of our first home. She smoothly guided us through a very hot market to secure us the perfect home! What we most admired was her technical knowledge of houses, she really knows her stuff. We also applaud her quick communication which was essential in such a busy market. We are so grateful and highly recommend Team Invest West to friends and family looking to buy or sell on Central Vancouver Island.

Jenn and Mandy made the process of purchasing our first home both easy and enjoyable! Being first time home buyers and new to Nanaimo, we had a lot of questions throughout the process. Jenn went above and beyond to make buying our home enjoyable and stress-free with her quick responses, positivity, guidance and knowledge. She truly went the extra mile for us to make sure all of our needs were met. When it came to making an offer in a time-sensitive, multiple offer situation, Mandy was decisive and knowledgeable and guided us in making an accepted offer. Because of these two, we found our dream house! We are so grateful to have worked with them and cannot recommend them enough!

Thank You Mandy! Your assistance with our move to Vancouver Island was the BEST! Your friendliness, professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail, made us feel comfortable in an otherwise unknown territory. We really enjoyed corresponding with you and having you guide us through the process of purchasing a home in B.C. Picking you out of a "Sea" of Realtors was a great choice on our part and we can only hope that others follow with you as their choice. We love our New home on the Island! Thanks AGAIN!

Mandy is by far one of the best agents I have ever worked with. Following my grandmothers passing, we needed to sell her home in Nanaimo. I did research to find the best agent to assist us in selling her home from a distance as we did not live in the area. After reading Mandy's online reviews I decided to call her and then met with her in person when we arrived in the area. From the moment I spoke with Mandy on the phone to meeting her, I could tell that she was the agent for us! Mandy and her assistant Shayna worked tirelessly for 9 months helping us to watch over my grandmother's home while probate was waiting to go through and prepare it for sale. Mandy and Shayna made calls for us, met with contractors, cleaned, moved items, prepped... the list goes on! When the home finally "hit the market" Mandy had offers coming in that day! The home sold incredibly quick! The fact that our family was 40 hours away, Mandy made the process easy. I can not say enough good things about Mandy and her assistant Shayna, they are genuine good people with a good work ethic and amazing client service. Thank you again beyond words Mandy and Shayna. If you are looking for an amazing agent, give Mandy a try. I can personally attest that you will be very satisfied with the level of service she provides!

Mandy is a dream to deal with, this is our second property that we have worked with her and she doesn’t do anything less than amazing in making sure the satisfaction of her clients are met.

It was a pleasure working with Mandy. I found her to be positive and upbeat. She explained everything thoroughly throughout the process and maintained constant communication with my boys and I. She was respectful, a great listener, kind yet direct and focused. I found her to be intelligent and she sold my house for more than I was asking. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would recommend her 100%. Thank you Mandy 😊

Mandy and her assistant Shayna made the experience of purchasing our first home seamless. Mandy is an excellent communicator and was quick to respond to any of our questions or concerns throughout the entire process. She was accommodating to our schedules when setting up viewings and her technical knowledge is impressive. I would highly recommend Mandy to anyone looking to purchase a home. We will definitely be contacting her when we’re ready to sell our home.

We have now bought and sold two homes with Mandy each experience just as remarkable as the next. Mandy and her team are continuously going out of their way to make the home buying and selling process as easy as possible. It is definitely safe to say that if we ever go through the process of buying or selling another home we will be sure to have Mandy on our side. Thank you again to you and your team Mandy it was a pleasure working with you guys!!!

Mandy and her assistant, Shayna were outstanding to work with through the sale of our home! From the first email to the last check in, both continued non-stop to provide us with advice, direction and ongoing support. Top quality real estate value here! What we appreciated the most about Mandy was her thoroughness and her ongoing clear communication. She also is an excellent listener who read between the lines and understood our wishes and needs for the sale of the home. She also listened carefully to the story of the house (the upgrades, the details that might interest a buyer etc.) and considered which information was important for marketing and sharing with buyers. When we had questions, she (or Shayna) replied promptly and with on point answers. We also appreciated Mandy's knowledge of the community and the comparable properties with acute understanding of the elements of our home that should be acknowledged in the write up, video and sharing with potential buyers. Mandy really saw how our home could be presented highlighting important features. The photos she had done were outstanding in quality and the drone video and interior video shots really presented our home in the best possible way - we were thrilled with the high quality treatment she gave our home in putting it on the market. Although we had done a lot of work in preparing our home and organizing furniture and flow for optimal viewing, Mandy confirmed our thoughts and made us feel our hard work was worth it. This was nice as we continued to update items, clean areas and provide extra value to a potential buyer and Mandy was always remembering what we had done and sharing that with agents and buyers. Small details like this really impressed us. Mandy and Shayna are an excellent team. Shayna was always (seriously- always!) there when we called or emailed with niggly questions or wanting to add more photos or needed more flyers. It was so seamless between the two that you knew you had two strong support people there should anything come up. Both are so professional and exhibit a high degree of intuitiveness around any situation and if they don't know they find out immediately. We never felt unsure or ignored - they extended themselves in so many ways. Even after the offer came in and the house inspection was over, Mandy continued to stay in touch and give me updates on things going on, answered my questions and on close day kept me up to date. Let's just say that we value quality people and quality work - and it was delivered in spades. If you want a realtor team that will do an outstanding job - Mandy and her assistant Shayna are A+ in their work ethic, professionalism and communication skills. I am in awe of their work and the dedication they have to the real estate profession.

Mandy sold my house for me recently. Even though there were a few issues with the house (structural etc) she helped me get the proper quotes and sold the property over asking! She is always very knowledgeable and helpful. Instead of just emailing the offical offer, she breaks down the offers into easy to understand / quicker reads and still explains further if need be. You should sell your home with Mandy!

Mandy and her team (Shayna), were so patient with my husband and I as we had a lot of questions (being 1st time buyers), and supported our navigating this very complex world of real estate. We ended up in 3 multiple bidding situations, and Mandy was very professional, supportive, and guided us with suggestions each step of the way. Her and her team, quickly realised what our needs and wants were, and made fast work of creating housing tours that fit within our ideas of what we were looking for. Mandy and Shayna were in constant communication, and was always returned any calls in a timely manner, taking time to chat about any topic on our minds. It was so appreciated not only to find the perfect home for us to begin our home-owner life, but also to know that beyond this time period we can call her up at any time with questions in the future. We have already spoken highly about our experience with Mandy, and will continue to recommend her team in the future. We will confidently use Mandy's services in the future! cheers ~ Natalie & Chris

Mandy Colford is a one of kind of realtor that really knows her properties. She does more than just listen to her clients-she actually knows what they want and delivers.

Mandy was recommended to me and my fiancee by a local realtor from my community. Going into a new city on a house hunting trip is a daunting task. Mandy made it as seemless as possible. She was very understanding of our situation and time constraints and made herself available to answer any questions we had. We want to thank Mandy for her commitment to making our dream of finding a home come true!

We have just bought our family home in Nanaimo and are so grateful to have had Mandy working with us! Mandy took the time to listen to what we wanted, and was very patient and understanding of our schedule and needs as we house hunted with our 1 year old. She is friendly and professional, and extremely organized and was so helpful when it came time to make our offer and follow through with the sale. She has been very generous with her time in answering our questions and making sure that we are satisfied with everything. I would highly recommend Mandy as an amazing realtor. Thank you so much Mandy!

We would highly recommended Mandy to anyone who is looking to purchase a new home. She is knowledgeable and very professional. We had a long list of specific needs to meet and Mandy worked very hard to meet them all. She showed us numerous properties and was never discouraged or disappointed when we said it was not the house for us. She ended up finding us the perfect house and made sure we presented the best offer to seal the deal. We had an issue upon moving in and she did her best to try to rectify the situation. In my opinion Mandy is the only choice when it come to a realtor and if you want the very best experience in buying a home you should work with Mandy! Thank you for all you hard work Mandy, you really went above and beyond!

Working on the sale of our home with Mandy and her team was nothing short of amazing. From the first time we sat down to discuss the sale of our home we could tell that we where leaving this very important part of our lives in the right hands. Mandy's attention to detail was on point, she helped out with everything form suggestions on staging our home to the little things like finishing touches in the yard. But I would say that the most important thing that Mandy did for us throughout this process was help us to feel comfortable and confident in the decision that we had made to sell. These are just a few of the reasons that in the event we ever sell again we will be sure to make Mandy a part of our team again. Thank you!!

Both my wife and I were faced with the large task of finding a new home, (along with my son and daughter in law), and at the same time selling our own home.
We could not have done this without the help from Mandy. She showed us all many homes, all with the criteria we wanted, and was patient as we continued to find the best buy for ourselves. Mandy's wealth of ideas to help us along this path continued to amaze us. She answered all our questions, guided us through the costs of purchase, and the steps needed to get this done. Mandy's professional approach and experience behind it sold our home for over asking price. Mandy you proved yourself to be a professional salesperson with the knowledge to get the job done, and make us more than happy with the experience.
Mandy you were great, Thanks so much!

Mandy helped our family of 4 buy our first home. We spent over 6 months trying to find something that matched our budget. I would say we were tough clients - we wanted something with a very large yard, with a farm/rural feel, but right in the city. Oh, and it had to be under $300k. She was so patient with us, so upbeat, and amazing with our boys. I looked forward to every meeting with her, because even when I was getting frustrated with what was available on the market she would swoop in with her professional optimism and forward-thinking attitude and lift up our spirits.

Now, a year later, I'm sitting here on my large farm deck, on my 1/4 acre property, next to my bubbling pond, and watching two squirrels chase each other through my 2 apple trees and along my cedar fences. I can't believe that we're right in the heart of the south-end city, and only a block away from an elementary school. I am so grateful that she helped us find our forever-home! I swear, she works miracles!

Mandy was very professional and worked with us to find the house that fit all of our needs. She was very patient with questions and requests. She was very knowledgeable when it can to specific details about properties that currently had rental tenants and the impacts that would have on the purchase.

She also exceeded expectations with the sale of our property. The promotional material and level of service during the sale was extremely well done. She always ensured that we were informed and utilised the form of communication that worked best for us.

With an offer that was on the table at asking price, she advised me to stay on plan and wait for the next day to accept multiples. This resulted in an over asking bid. .

Mandy, had to represent two parties in this buy and sell...and she pulled it off with flying colours making both parties feel pleased with the process and final deal. She is very good at getting back to you and has a vast knowledge of the properties in Nanaimo. I would feel completely at ease in recommending Mandy to anyone looking or selling a home.
She works hard to please you and answers all of your questions.with an..honest, and well supported answer. Her hardworking and reliable.manner of operation is well suited to the real-estate field and anyone she represents should feel lucky.
