Buying and selling a home is a life altering decision – one that had us trying to carefully balance our logical and emotion sides.
Sarah and Johanna’s knowledge of the North Shore, responsiveness, and positive demeanors made our experience positive, and as free of stress as possible. They helped us find the most perfect (truly perfect) new home, and then were ready to turn around and sell our house quickly (for over asking).
They were professional and helped our home look it’s best with the help of Michele who offered advice and her staging expertise. We were so impressed, we have asked Michele to help us place our art and decor when we move in.
Thank you all for getting to know us, so we could find the home that met our every request – despite the long list of ‘must haves’.
We are so excited for our new chapter and are so grateful you were our first call when we considered making a move.
Much love,
Stephanie, Chris, Tori and Piper
Sarah is a great negotiator and we did really well on selling our house. She priced it right
along with the suggestions for improvement and staging… the house looked better thanI expected! I would highly recommend Sarah for any real estate needs! Thank you for all your support!

Johanna and Sarah are exceptional! I am (was) a first time home buyer and they came recommended to me through another agent. From the initial intro call I had with Johanna they made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Buying a home is a daunting endeavour, especially your first, on your own, and they were always available to answer any questions I had; even when those questions came to me at all hours of the day. I got to know both Johanna and Sarah through multiple viewings and they were both timely, friendly, knowledgeable and asked the questions I didn’t know to ask the sellers. The market seems to be ever changing but in every situation I encountered they knew the best course of action which inevitably lead me to finding my first home. I can’t thank Johanna and Sarah enough for supporting and empowering me throughout this process and I highly recommend their services. Thank you, ladies, you’re the best!

Sarah and Johanna are an absolute pleasure to work with! They helped us find our new home, and we are grateful for their excellent services! Both are fantastic communicators, very professional, very personable, patient and they offer great ideas and recommendations, paired with their experience and great knowledge of the housing market. They really went above and beyond throughout the whole process, and made it an enjoyable experience! Highly recommended!

We had an absolute blast working with Johanna and Sarah both when we were buying and selling our property. We were very excited about a place in North Van when we were buying, but Johanna strongly discouraged us after reviewing the strata docs and finding out some details we didn’t know about. That’s when I knew they were in this to help their clients instead of closing the deal as early as possible and moving on. We ended up buying another apartment with their help, and surely enough we knocked on their door when it was time to sell. They made every step of the way easy for us. They are professional and lovely people to work with!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Johanna & Sarah when looking for our home. They were always extremely responsive (no matter what time of day) and had great suggestions based on the area that we were interested in. All throughout the negotiations and closing they were there quickly handling everything for us, always being on top of things, reaching out to us with any updates, patiently explaining each step of the process and always had our best interest in mind. If the time ever comes for us to look for a new home, there isn’t any doubt on who our realtor will be! 🙂

Amazing, thorough team with great advice and excellent knowledge of the market. I worked with Johanna and she really listened to what I wanted in a property and didn’t give up until she found the best option. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Sarah and Johanna were amazing to work with through the process of selling one home and purchasing another, all in the midst of a global pandemic. They were attentive to our likes/dislikes, and went above and beyond to not only complete the somewhat tricky sale on the existing property but also help us find the home of our dreams and turn that dream into reality. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone who wants to work with a professional duo of Realtors who not only get the job done, but also truly care about their clients and work tirelessly to make their dreams come true :).

Johanna helped us with both our sale and purchase of our new home. She was amazing at guiding us through both processes. She got us over asking for our Chinatown condo in a very slow market. When it came to buying our new condo she actually knew the perfect condo for us before we did. After looking at a bunch of townhomes and condos we ended up buying the first condo she told us about. We absolutely love our new home and most likely wouldn’t have gotten it had it not been for Johanna. 100% going to recommend her to all our friends and family.

Sarah and Johanna helped me buy my first condo in Vancouver. I had an amazing experience with them. They made the entire process go very smoothly. The experience was personal, engaging, and fun! They also helped me saving a lot of money by getting a great deal in the negotiations.
Also they don’t leave you alone once the deal is done. They organize events and get-togethers for their ex-clients and create a community.
I would recommend Sarah and Johanna any day. In the future if I am to buy or sell any property in Vancouver, they would be my go to people.

Sarah & Johanna were unbelievably helpful in the listing and quick selling of our rental property at a very good price. While always professional, they were also incredibly friendly and fun, and made the process much less stressful than it would have otherwise been, including great referrals for painters, stagers, etc.

We would definitely recommend Johanna and Sarah to anyone, and have already done so. They took the time to understand our reasons for selling, thoroughly explained the steps and provided helpful advice that helped us in our decision-making. It was clear that they were very knowledgeable about the comparable recent sales used to determine our asking price, which gave us confidence when deciding on a number. Sarah and Johanna were both wonderful to work with from our first meeting with them to the day they showed up with a lovely gift, good luck wishes and hugs on moving day. Had we stayed in the area we’re confident they would become good friends!

We absolutely loved working with Johanna and Sarah which ultimately led to the purchase of our dream home. They were both very knowledgeable about the current market conditions, the area we were looking in and as an added bonus had tips for daycare and great restaurants nearby. We were so proud to get our house and show Johanna & Sarah the progress along the way. I recommend them to all my friends and family and can’t wait to work with her again.
R & S Edwards
I would happily recommend Johanna & Sarah to anybody in need of an amazing realtor. They are incredibly attentive and takes care to put their clients’ needs first. My fiance and I never felt pressured at any time while working with them and they were always able to answer our questions regarding any home we were looking at. If they did not have an answer for us, they made sure to get the information and send it to us ASAP. We love the home Johanna & Sarah helped us find, and if we ever decide to move again I can guarantee we will be asking for their help.

I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. She is so kind and relatable. She made us feel comfortable and at ease with the process. She was also determined to ensure we received the best deal possible and didn’t settle for anything less.
Wesley and Melena Roussos
We found Sarah to be extremely informative, positive and thoughtful. She was always available to answer questions and provide follow-up. We would definitely recommend Sarah to our family and friends.
We have bought and sold several homes previously and without a doubt, Sarah is the best realtor we have ever dealt with. She was tireless in her efforts and innovative in her ideas to promote and sell our property. We would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking of either buying or selling a home.
Rick and Margo Rees
Sarah made selling and buying that much easier. She was never too busy to answer our questions or give us information to help us decide exactly what we were looking for. Sarah was always patient and positive. She didn’t mind going the extra mile to make us happy!
Michelle and Trevor Townsend
I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. She and her group are extremely professional and approachable. In this tough market, having an agent who understands the situation that you are in, and who treats you honestly, is truly neccessary. This is how Sarah and her team works. We sold our home within 5 weeks of listing it (for an excellent selling price). We couldn’t have been happier with the result! Thanks so much Sarah!!

It was just blind luck that we had Johanna as our agent but what luck. I was set to meet her on a Monday when I went to an open house on a Sunday and fell in love with the place. Johanna met us that very night and set in motion fulfilling our dreams. Due to circumstances we had some hoops to jump through but it was Johanna who jumped through them for us. In three weeks we had the keys in our hands. She took care of every detail and was extraordinary in keeping us in the loop from early morning until late in the evening. As a person who works in serving clients myself, I will tell you that she went above, beyond and further than the extra mile. We wish her luck and recommend her without reservation.
M & G Comeau
Johanna was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. She was flexible and tailored the experience to our schedule. The process was seamless and very tech friendly, ensuring that things were submitted quickly and on time. In some cases this removed the need for even meeting, which was helpful with our hectic schedule.I am sad that I wont be able to use Johanna in our buying process as we have moved to a different province, but know that I will be able to reach out to her for guidance or advice. All in all she really is the BEST..hands down, no questions, call HER!
N & C Irwin
I highly recommend Johanna Osato. Johanna worked hard to secure the purchase of our house and we are very grateful. Her professionalism, hard work ethic and follow-through is top-notch!
