July 7, 2010. Dale is an absolute gem!  She met with us on short notice to help us plot out a feasible plan for the sale of our strata unit at L'Hermitage.  She provided excellent market insight, discussed our needs, and answered all of our questions through the entire process.
She offered her knowledgeable opinion on all aspects of the preparation, marketing, and contract process while incorporating our thoughts and ideas as well.  She responded to any concerns promptly and thoroughly, including negotiating difficulties when they arose.  Though we knew she had other clients and responsibilities, she always gave us her full attention.  She made us feel special while delivering exceptional service, putting our minds at ease.
In less than 3 weeks from first meeting to full contract at over asking price and in a slower market, the results speak for themselves!  Dale made selling our home a pleasant experience!
Thank you for your professionalism, integrity, and approachable nature!

June 3, 2010.  I would like to thank you for working so tirelessly on the sale of my property at L'Hermitage - 1007 - 788 Richards St.. You were fabulous!  I would like others to know some of the important qualities you offer as a realtor.  I couldn't help notice your on time performance and the fact that there was never a complaint or a discouraged attitude.  Going the extra mile simply became the norm for you!  Your professionalism and knowledge goes without saying, but I feel the best quality you offer is your integrity.  You deserve your successes.
You spent months searching for the perfect place for two members of my family and we value the fact that this is why you do so well.  You are not the type who is out for your own gain.  Instead, it must work well for all concerned.  Thank you again Dale.  I highly recommend you when only the best will do.              Nancy Oliver

“In over thirty years and fourteen moves, Dale McGauran is simply the best realtor we have ever encountered. She is thorough, honest, responsive and has a "we will make it happen", positive attitude. Her energy, professionalism and hands on approach in handling the sale of our home was exceptional. She makes you feel like you are her only client. Her market analysis was the best we have ever seen. As a result we sold our house for over asking price within six days of listing with her. We also had the pleasure of working with Dale in the purchase of our new home. She took a lot of the pressure out of buying a selling our homes. Dale is the complete package and we highly recommend her."

 " As first-time buyers, we were so fortunate to have Dale as our real estate agent. She is ever ready to listen to our needs and concerns. Her tenacity and patience for finding out answers to questions for novices like us is simply amazing!
We’re always pleasantly surprised to receive emails from her in the late hours of the night or the wee hours of the morning. This speaks volumes of her sense of dedication to her clients. With Dale our visits to prospective homes were always an educational experience as she explains things to look out for in a home and the intricacies of Vancouver’s real estate market. We have Dale to thank for a most rewarding experience when we finally got a place after months of meticulous research and legwork.  By then Dale is not only our real estate agent, but has become a friend amongst the first few we’ve made in Canada!  We have found Dale to be a person of integrity – she demands a lot from herself only to give her best to us."     Jeffery and Bee Lee

Our sale was a very quick process and her experience was evident throughout, even when we got into a multiple offer situation. We were very impressed with Dale , and have already recommended her to our friends and family. Thanks again for all your help."

  "We highly recommend Dale.  she helped us find the perfect home.  She was patient and honest through the whole process.  We wanted to be sure of finding the right home and wanted to take our time. Dale  worked with us consistently over the 8 months that it took for us to find the perfect place.

She also helped us sell our condo in less than a week for a price well over what we had ever hoped.  I know that it was her marketing plan and extreme attention to detail that made that happen.  With Dale as our realtor, we never felt any pressure, felt well informed with as much information as we could ever want and very sure of all of our decisions.  You will be making the best choice by choosing Dale.

 "They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but I also know that this same knowledge can add to one's expectations and to the stress of their realtor.  As an ex-realtor, a long time mortgage lender and a manager in the service industry, my expectations for service go far beyond timely responses, accurate documentation and common courtesy and much to my husband and my delight, so did our realtor, Dale McGauran.  On a uncharacteristic, spontaneous decision, my husband, Derek and I made the bold decision to move to Kelowna.  Getting top dollar for our North Vancouver condo was the pivotal part on which all of our options were based.  Understanding our plight, Dale  showcased our condo to it's best advantage by applying her critical eye, hiring a professional photographer and marketing our property with photos in the newspaper and on her personal website.  Additionally,she ensured our home was quickly featured on MLS as well as exposed to all of the local realtors through an Agent's open house.  As time was of the essesnce, she hosted two public open houses and at the end of the weekend our home was sold far over our asking price.  Now that's what we mean by exceeding expecttions! Having professional and ethical representation and personal support during such an important life event was greatly appreciated.  Entrusting Dale with this responsibility was truly our best move. " 

When a move to the Okanagan turned out to be a wonderful dream but less than wonderful reality for us, we decided to come home to the North Shore but now, we had a real challenge for our realtor....find us a North Vancouver house with the budget dictated by the proceeds of a Kelowna house sale.  In true Dale-style, we felt like her most important client and she, like our trusted advisor.  Dale encouraged us to feel like we were worthy of our every wish and deserving of the perfect home.  Dale's patience and experience paid off in finding us a house with great potential but when an inspection report revealed more than we had bargained for, Dale was instrumental in helping us review and consider the findings and ultimately supported us in realizing that this was not our perfect home.  Without skipping a beat, we continued our search and promptly found another home in a better location, on a superior lot and best of all, with a glowing home inspection report.  This time the only hurdle was the difficult price negotiation and some interesting dynamics with a challenging vendor.  With Dale on our side, she not only secured the price we needed but also negotiated the conditions that made this house a custom fit for our lifestyle and our budget.   As a professional in the financial industry, I have witnessed the stress that comes from not being adequately educated and the heartbreak that a simple oversight can cause.  Dale provides the support that not only finds the right house but ensures every detail is addressed so that in the end, the only thing standing between you and your home is a welcome mat."

 "Dale is without a doubt the most focused and dynamic realtor you could ever find. With a second child on the way, our family had pressing needs to upgrade to a larger house. She came to us with a presentation one Sunday afternoon outlining what she could possibly do to assist us. Before we knew it, she helped us purchase the house of our dreams. Our condo then went on sale; In less than a week, it had multiple offers and it sold for above asking price.

"Dale took our list of objectives, and like a pilot with her preflight checklist, she went and checked every one of them. Thanks to Dale,our real estate experience was stress free and expeditive. We will always be grateful."

She handled very tough negotiations in a professional manner and ensured that we got the best deal. "
