A little over a year ago we had the good fortune of connecting with Barb Nimchuk as we began our journey to settle down in Vancouver. Little did we know at the time that wed have to sell our house, move, and buy a home during a pandemic. At every bend in the road, Barb was right there with us to help us figure out a path forward. While shes one of the nicest people on earth, shes also fiercely protective of her clients, and dedicated to finding the best property at the best price. Barb is an amazing person and real estate agent, and if you have the opportunity to work with her, then go

Barb Nimchuk was a great fit for us being first time home buyers! She really listened to our needs and wants and went above and beyond to help us find a home that worked for us. She was very patient and understanding and we have built a life long relationship with her. Even after the purchase of our home she continues to be there for us to answer any questions or offer any help she can. She goes above and beyond the definition of a realtor!

Barb is the most professional, organized, personable, knowledgeable, available and hardworking realtor I have ever met. She always knows what to do and how to best approach every situation. We had many ups and downs in our house hunt and she stayed strong and made the right decisions for us throughout our journey. We trust her completely that she always has our best interest in mind and is honest about the situation. She is by far the most talented realtor I know and would recommend to her to anyone looking for a home in Steveston, Richmond, or the surrounding area.
