TESTIMONIALS

We can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and significant expertise, which we relied on quite heavily to guide us through the process. We have worked with many realtors over the years, and we can say with experience that your level of engagement and willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty was like no other realtor we’ve worked with before. - R & T on Whaling Station Bay

We had an outstanding experience with Bente and her partners at RE/MAX. Bente was the consummate professional; always willing to help, and if she was unable to help us (which was rare), she would guide us in the right direction. Our situation was especially unique, because we live 3,000 miles away from the property we were trying to sell. We put our property up for sale in a down-market, and it sold in 3 months at our asking price! In short, Bente is pleasant, respectful and works hard for her clients. - Kees and Lia Verkade

Bente did an exceptional job selling our house. She was tireless, diligent and conscientious about marketing our property with no challenge too big for her. Bente is a great listener and skilled negotiator, she was responsive to situations as they came up. Her knowledge, dedication and dependability are what put her above the rest. We can recommend Bente Pilgaard to any buyer/seller, she really worked hard on our behalf from day one and throughout. - Lorne J. Hofseth, Ph.D.

Working with Bente Pilgaard was easy and a pleasure… She was very thorough, often answering questions I didn’t even know to ask. I was very thankful that she could always provide me with an answer when I needed it, often within minutes of a text or email… her steady and consistent availability and depth of knowledge made the mysteries of Island property buying a very easy process. From start to finish, a period of about 6 months, I felt the benefits of a caring and professional real estate agent. And now as a Denman resident, I have a resource in Bente Pilgaard as well as a friend. - Evan Penner

Bente was a pleasure to work with. She made many helpful suggestions and looked after details beyond the call of duty. She was completely professional and pleasant in all aspects. For Bente, there are no problems, only solutions, and she really does go the extra mile to make certain that things work for everyone. Thank you for all that you did to achieve a successful outcome! - Dawn Stofer

ABOUT DENMAN ISLAND

Featuring sandy beaches, rocky coves, lush forests and open, rolling pastures, Denman Island provides ample opportunity for outdoor adventure. The parks and nature reserves feature plenty of hiking trails and beachfront suitable for swimming, kayaking or fishing. The Island’s bird, deer, otters, mink and beaver population is prolific.

ABOUT HORNBY ISLAND

Hornby Island is located at the northern end of the Strait of Georgia, a geo-climatic zone of lower precipitation, protection from Pacific winter storms, and a longer growing season for the garden enthusiast. 

The beauty of the natural environment of Hornby has earned it the moniker “Hawaii of the North” while also contributing to the ecological and real estate values of this gem of an island. Natural grasslands, rich in rare wildflowers, are found in rocky, exposed areas near the shoreline and above the coastal bluffs. Find out about all of Hornby's services for residents and visitors alike at hornbyisland.com
