"In the recent selling of our family home 37 years, Pam was great.  We had never gone through a sale with a realtor before, so Pam had so much information to pass on to us and many questions to answer.  She was so helpful and encouraging every step of the way as we got our home ready for marketing.  The result was that we had multiple offers and an accepted offer within 24 hours of when the For Sale sign went up.  Next she guided us through the intricacies of making the sale come to a successful conclusion.

Several days later we found the home of our dreams----a lovely upstairs for our daughter with an equally lovely basement for us.  Once again she was there for us and guided us through with the purchase with knowledge and profesionalism.

On moving day she was available with a helping hand and her smiling personality.

Thanks a million, Pam, for all the help and encouragement.  You made the whole process very pleasant and we are all very happy in our new home.  If  and when we hear of someone who needs a realtor, we will be sure to give them your name.

Bill, Marjorie and Bonnie Lindner"

" I found Pam to be exceptionally professional and effective as my Realtor.  She allowed me to pursue some private "leads' but when those failed to materialize, she marketed and sold the property within a week.  Thanks Pam."

This is What Pam's Clients Are Saying...

 Don and I wanted to let you know that we really appreciated all your help in the buying and later selling of the Victoria condo.

We were impressed by your professionalism-you kept in close touch with us; you didn't relax even when a good offer to buy came in but continued to advertise and search out potential buyers until the deal was done; and even then, weeks after the sale, you helped us tie up loose ends with BC Hydro.

We were particularly grateful for your suggestions in preparing the condo for the market.  In helping us pick out lighting fixtures, you really went 'above and beyond'!  It all paid off with a really quick sale.

Thanks for everything!

Doreen Lovely

Congratulations on selling Warren Ave. so quickly and selling Marjorie & Bill another house.  As usual, you did a great job and they are very happy. Thanks so much for giving them such great service.  I'll be sure to refer you again if the opportunity arises.

" An open letter to potential new clients of Pam Whyte DFH Real Estate Ltd.

I had the pleasure of meeting Pam Whyte approximately 4 1/2 years ago when I was the Account Representative for The Oak Bay News and was impressed then with her professionalism, honesty and business acumen.  A short time later when I found myself in the position of needing a realtor who could handle a rather sensitive real estate transaction,( my husband and I were separating)  I approached Pam and she willingly took it on.  Working  with two clients in varying stages of emotional distress she handled the sale of our townhouse and our individual purchases of subsequent accommodations with diplomacy and tact while both respecting the position we were in as well as offering her support and encouragement.  In what, at that time, was an insane real estate market in 'Victoria, Pam offered us her "Preferred Client" access to new listings as they became available in the marketplace and ultimately was able to find suitable properties for our needs.

But her service did not stop when the transations were completed.  She followed up and maintained contact through her newsletters, christmas greetings and annual calendars (good ones by the way!) and willingly responded to any phone calls or e-mails when I had questions about the market in the greater Victoria area.  When I began thinking about moving up island Pam was able to provide me with the name of a colleague to contact, and when I decided recently to sell my place in Victoria, Pam, needless to say, was my realtor.

So what makes her different, what makes her the only realtor in Victoria that I would use and recommend to my friends?  Her unbelievable attention to every detail regarding the client their needs and their wishes.  Her thoughtfulness and sensitivity.  Her caring.  Her years of experience and extensive knowledge of the community.  The trust and respect she has earned from her colleagues.  Her incredible work ethic.  Her ability to "make it happen" regardless of market conditions.  Her "follow through."  Her absolute off the wall sense of humour.

In the three real estate transactions that Pam and I have been involved in, there was never one moment when I questioned her judgement or worried about the process.  I relied on her expertise and had complete faith in her knowledge and abilities.  Further, there was nothing"more" that she could have offered, everything, every detail was addressed thoroughly.

Pam is the consummate realtor."                                                                                                         Linda Adams

"Dear Pam,

"To Prospective Clients of Pamela Whyte-

With Pam Whyte as your agent, you will be in very good hands! When my wife and I decided to sell our condo in December of 2006, we engaged Pam as our agent. Throughout all stages of the listing, negotiating and closing process, Pam’s performance was exemplary. She was always well prepared, analytical, enthusiastic and insistently positive at all times. We could not have hoped for better service!"

Michael Bazett

"Without a second thought, we would employ Pam Whyte’s services again.

She was most friendly, courteous and knowledgeable- she had all the facts at her fingertips, that we needed to know in making our decisions.

Also, her staff was top-notch!

Thank-you Pam,"

Mel Rutledge & Al Foster

"Until Spring 2007 my family was tenant in rented premises owned by Pam Whyte. We recently moved into our first home, a comfortable townhouse in a fantastic community. Pam was our agent.

As a lawyer, I was comfortable with the contractual process of buying a house; but as a first-time buyer I had plenty of questions regarding the market and home ownership. Pam exceeded our expectations in every way. Her invaluable advice and extensive experience made the whole process significantly less stressful. Her warm, human touch and impressive efficiency made touring prospective homes on the weekend something to look forward to. In all things, Pam conducted herself with the highest professionalism and we came away from both our tenancy and our realtor-client relationship feeling like we’d gained a new friend.

I recommend Pam Whyte whole-heartedly; her service and ability will impress you no matter how high your expectations."

Rolf Warburton & Family

"My wife and I have found Pamela Whyte to be an enthusiastic, eager, hardworking, competent Realtor in the recent sale of our home in Oak Bay."

John & Nancy Linnell

"Our rational for choosing Pam Whyte as our  Realtor were 4 fold.

1. She sent market analysis to the house from time to time, which kept us appraised of the real estate activity in Victoria
2. We saw Pam’s SOLD signs in our neighbourhood which inferred to us she was familiar with our strata and the community.
3. When we phoned, she saw us that day.
4. On the day we signed with Pam, she arrived with loads of relevant material and supported us in achieving a mutually agreeable selling price.

Within the first week of the house being on the market there was a Realtor’s tour, an amazing video of our home on Pam’s website, an advertisement in the paper, several tours, and by weeks end an accepted offer.

In addition Pam assisted us through the necessary signatures on our offer and eventual purchase (with a different Real Estate Company) of a home up island.

Could you ask for anything more?"

Sharon & Gordon Sinclair

"Pam Whyte has been successful in helping us to find the RIGHT house!

I met Pam a year ago when I asked her to show me a house she was selling. Her response was warm and immediate. We saw the house that day. When we began looking more seriously at houses this year, I called on Pam to help.

She listened well to our needs and preferences, then selected houses which met our criteria. She arranged viewings for us at times we were free, even though it meant cutting into her after work time. When our best time for viewing conflicted with another commitment she had, she arranged her co-workers to show us houses. She was always cheerful, and really interested in what we wanted. She was enthusiastic when we expressed a liking for some feature. Yet, she was never pushy about any house.

I found her very thorough in doing paperwork.

- She explained clearly the process of buying once we had chosen our house.

- Her answers to any questions I had, showed a great deal of knowledge of buildings, possibilities for any change we might want, and building requirements.

- She quickly got our offer to the seller, and the response back to us.

- She immediately brought us the papers for signing.

- She gave us names of possible inspectors, and once we had arranged for an inspection, she came to the house with me to meet the inspector.

- She made many trips back and forth to ensure that our buying was confirmed.

- She completed the paper work very efficiently, requiring very little time on my part.

I would highly recommend Pam Whyte as a Realtor."

Marina Smith

Pam is thorough and very knowledgeable, and she was able to lead me through each step of the process, with as little stress as possible. I have been impressed with her ethical approach and her caring attitude. Her genuine concern that I was to be completely satisfied with the whole experience was very evident."

Jean Holder

"Dear Pamela,

It is with a great deal of appreciation that Brian and I send you this letter in gratitude for your superior services in the sale of one home and the purchase of a new one. You have exceeded our expectations by engineering a quick and profitable sale of our home and guided us through a stress-free purchase.

We always felt that we were your most important clients.

You did a complete market analysis and actively marketed our home. As a result we had a great deal of interest in our property and received multiple offers. We got constant updates and important communications from you so we always knew what to expect. We were impressed with the degree to which you stood beside us in a caring and supportive manner throughout both transactions.

You have demonstrated the highest standards of excellence in your professional practice. You are very fortunate to work with a very dynamic and knowledgeable team and we were very fortunate to have you all working on our behalf. We will not hesitate to recommend you."

 Susan and Brian Copeland

"Pamela Whyte and her staff at DFH Realty handled the sale of our rental property professionally with proper respect given to the tenants. Thanks to Pam’s hard work, the property sold quickly in a softening market.

Pam pays careful attention to every detail of the paperwork. As the paperwork required to sell a property is now extensive, Pam made that part easy to understand. No detail was unimportant or swept under the rug.

Thanks again for your assistance in the sale of our rental property."

 Merv and Eleanor Walker

“I have chosen to work with Pamela on several real estate transactions because her record as a Top Performing Realtor in Victoria has been impressive and consistent over the past several years. Her information, advice and recommendations are up-to-date, accurate and professional. Her communication skills and her wonderful sense of humour are appropriate and appreciated. She is quite straightforward and she is honest. It is my pleasure to recommend the expertise and services of Pamela Whyte.”

Carole Gutrath

Beverley & Charlie Mountain

“During the past two moves, you have been our real estate agent and friend. Your professional expertise in negotiating transactions was critical in the success of each move. Timely, accurate and prioritized information was vital in our decision-making. We know that you work long hours and you juggle many transactions; but, when you’re working with us it feels like your are working exclusively for us. You were readily available and always know what stage we’re at during a transaction.”

Ms. Frost & Mr. Killikelly

Wilf and Gail Vachon

Don & Else Grimes

“I am very pleased with the service that Pamela Whyte gave me when I was buying a condo. After my husband died, Pamela was so considerate and thoughtful to me she found this one bedroom condo that just was made for me and I am so comfortable and happy. I think she has the knack of just knowing a person’s needs and takes pride in finding just the right place for them.”

Jean Haverty

"With my disability I was searching for a residence that was easily accessible and wheelchair friendly. To be even more difficult shopper, I did not know exactly what I wanted, but I would know it once I saw it. I found Pam to be joy to work with. She listened to me, the customer. Pam spent tons of time with me looking at properties. She quickly understood what would work for me in terms of accessibility, and helping me define what I was looking for. She was always able to work to my schedule. What I also appreciated was being able to go at my pace, there was no 'better make an offer' pressure. I think Pam exemplifies going the extra to provide customer service. I would certainly work with Pam again." 

Larry Johnston

“Just a short note of thanks for the job you did in selling our house on Chaucer Street in Oak Bay. Your helpful suggestions to present our home in the best possible way, I’m sure, was one reason it sold so fast. Your positive manner and sunny disposition was a pleasure for us to work with and both Dee and I would not hesitate to recommend you to others that are in the market to sell and/or buy in the Victoria area. Thank you again for a job well done.”

Cliff and Dee Black

“I want you to know how very pleased I was that you were able to tailor your realty service to meet my personal needs. I appreciated you taking on all facets of the sale, with only minimal involvement on my part, as was my choice. As you know, my listing and subsequent sale came during a time when I had very little personal time to devote to it. You recognized and respected my requirements, and ultimately confirmed a sale for me within two weeks. I find this quick sale quite remarkable and worthy of note. Throughout the time of my listing and sale, your attention to detail and timely communications with me, and other individuals necessarily involved, quickly gained my confidence and gave me peace of mind to leave the work to you. I will not hesitate to recommend you to my friends and colleagues should they ever be looking for realty services.”

Catherine Taron

“We have a new home, the “ideal” renters and have met a wonderful person. The whole episode has been a positive experience, thanks in no small part to you, Pamela. We do really appreciate your taking an interest in our wants and desires, in being on our side and guiding us through the morass of details, all foreign to us, in pushing us when we needed pushing and always so giving of your honest sage advice. It goes without saying that we will recommend to everyone, the name of the ‘best’ Realtor in Victoria, if not the whole world.”

James & Jenny Nelson

“I cannot thank you enough for the time and advice you gave me last week!   I am so happy! May God reward you in a very special and personal way for helping me out like you did!”

“We were quite impressed by your willingness to mount an all out campaign to market our house quickly when the situation called for it, and of course by the very successful results achieved by your hard work. Throughout the entire transaction you represented our interests very well, kept us fully informed, and efficiently dealt with the intricate details of selling and buying properties. We were well satisfied with your work when we first purchased in Victoria, and as repeat clients can attest to the quality and reliability of the services you provided us.”
