“I was recommended to call Selena when my wife and I were looking for a Realtor in Edmonton, AB. This proved to be one of the best decisions we made as we began our Real Estate Investment journey. Selena is knowledgeable, thorough and is quite possibly THE hardest worker I have ever encountered. She has done more than I would have ever expected from a Real Estate Agent, and continues to act with our best interests in mind. My wife and I feel very lucky to have worked with Selena and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.”

“I can’t thank you and Andy enough for turning my simple buying an investment property into such a great buying experience. I am absolutely thrilled with my new investment property in Edmonton that will provide incredible positive cash flow! As a realtor you are in a league of your own and I congratulate you on having found the success formula. This makes you not only accelerate your own business at a rapid pace, but also gives you the tools to build loyalty amongst your clientele. Selena, I have followed your teachings for years and only recently decided to take action. Am I ever glad I did! You and Andy provided me with a solid education on how to select the right investment property and you taught me how to look at properties through investor eyes, therefore making it easy for me to make a solid, intelligent decision, removing all fears and doubts. My first shopping for real estate trip to Edmonton proved to be such an incredibly valuable lesson! I had no idea what I was looking for when I started and now I am so clear! Your continuous hospitality, your patience in answering my million and one questions, your sharing of insider investor information, your kindness and passion for what you do, your putting your clients interests first in everything you handle from beginning to end is apparent in everything you do. I felt completely taken care of and supported from day one. I truly felt I was in the best possible hands and I commend you and Andy on the high level of customer service you continue to provide throughout the process. Again, many thanks for turning what could be for many a potentially stressful situation for so many into a fabulous buying experience! I will highly recommend you to my friends.”

“Feedback: I really appreciate that you guys make sure the inspection and appraisal get done and are there for the process. I also really appreciate that you help with more then just the purchase – such as following through to make sure everything is organized with the property manager etc. Those things stand out for me.”

Someone in the property management/real estate business referred us to Selena Cheung, and I am forever grateful! Our condo unit was beautiful, but challenges within the condo complex (special assessments, maintenance construction, etc.) made it a difficult property. Two other realtors had not been able to sell it. From our first meeting with Selena, we were impressed. She’d researched the property before she met us, and already had a profile of the ideal buyer. She went far above and beyond what we expected – even advising us not to list with her until the “buying season” began. She and her husband/partner Andy helped us stage the property – even changing burned out light bulbs! Their photos showcased the property beautifully. In contrast to previous realtors, they had viewings every week. Also in contrast to other realtors, Selena kept us totally in the loop, letting us know what was happening, not only with viewings but with other real estate transactions in the complex. At every step – from listing to offer to sale to follow-up – Selena was there to keep us informed, ensure we understood everything, advise us on decisions and make sure all the details were handled correctly. There’s a reason she’s in the top 5% of Edmonton area realtors. She actually cares about the best interest of her clients, and at every step goes above and beyond. Plus, her positive nature is a delight. Selena Cheung is pure gem!
March 27, 2015
“Your team is amazing. You guys have gone above and beyond any of our expectations. We are pretty happy to have you as part of “our team”. In fact, we will be asking you to set up some more viewings for us the same weekend that we are in town to sign the closing docs.”

” Andy and Selena,
I would like to thank you so much for all of the hard work to complete this sale. It was an up and down sale with a few hoops to go through. The condo Docs were a real challenge for you to get. Without these the sale would have been lost. I never did find out where you got them. I also appreciated your advice on how the sale went as far as price negotiations and dates. I have known you both for 10 years and would not hesitate to have you represent us in the future. You may also use me as reference anytime. We have more property in Edmonton and when the time comes you will get a call.
Thanks again”

“Hi Selena and Andy, Thank you for helping me in acquiring this property. I am excited about it and optimistic that it will help in my investment objectives. It is always a pleasure working with you and Andy. I wanted to let you and Andy know what I think about working with you. Here’s some of them: – Your ability to communicate what the market reality is versus the out-of-town investors expectation without “pushing”. – I like the small nuggets that come from you. For example, your proposal to change the down payment on this purchase is something that would have never occurred to me but in the end played a factor in the vendor going with our offer, – you make transactions simple and easy to understand. You find a property that meets my investment criteria, communicate why that is, saves me a ton of time because by the time it comes to me, it just becomes a yes or no decision. – Andy’s analytical ability to see the potential of a property and to point out what (and how) improvements that need to be done. – and finally our power team — we work with a bunch of committed folks that make investing (and operating it)transparent and straightforward. Thanks again and I look forward to the next property. Half of the ongoing income from this property will be used to sponsor families that need a helping hand in the Philipiines so you and Andy are helping in improving lives. ”

“Without your and Selena’s help, We don’t think our investment would be going on so smoothly. You and Selena deserve the top 5% in Edmonton, not only because of the professional knowledge and experiences, but also the personal gracious and charming characters. And I have to say Selena is lucky to have you as the family member as well as the business partner, like described in Chinese idiom – the tiger who has grown wings.
We hope that we would have met you guys 10 years earlier, so that we didn’t have to waste so much time and money to find out the right direction. We are planning to have further investment in Edmonton, but we would not take any actions before having your support. “

You have made the process of finding and buying investment property so much easier than we ever expected. Your system and access to power team are making the process of investing hassle-free and enjoyable journey. We will definitely work with you on our next property.

“Hello, Selena and Andy
It is wonderful experience having you as my realtors. You always accommodate my needs, are patient to all my questions, and provide information to help me understand situations and make wise decisions. You have given me very needed support even at a special time when you have a new family member to take care of. Working together with you I feel respected, valued and befriended. When my first 2 offers could not go through, you are patient and supportive. You take care of all my requests timely and professionally from the beginning to the closing. And you spent a lot of time to help me find the right home that I love. I recommend your service without reserve.
Thank you both!”

“ I want to thank both you and Andy for being great hosts in Edmonton and for filtering and finding some great properties to take me through, your advice and feedback through this process and your negotiating with the seller. I feel you were motivated to help me find a great property and make a great deal, and you made it so much easier for me by directing me to members of your power team… Dan Heon was great and really helped to pull it together, so thank you for that recommendation, I will use him again. I also like how you lay out all the things to consider and steps for me to take, outlining my action items and then following up to ensure I remain on track. I also appreciate that you take some of the work out of it for me by forwarding necessary documents to the power team to ensure nothing is missed.”

“Dear Selena and Andy, Thanks so much for taking so much of your time to spend with us. I am very grateful for the energy, professionalism, hospitality and genuine friendship you have shown Kiaunna and myself during our short stay in Edmonton. It was a great trip, and I hope (and expect) we will have the opportunity to come out again to consider other properties over time. Thank you for making this trip such a success on many different levels. We are part way to acquiring a great investment property, you have given us a good foundation in the general Edmonton market and geography, Kiaunna gained some great insight and exposure to the real estate investment arena through your patience and guidance, and we have made three wonderful new friends. Looking forward to working with and staying in touch with everyone as we complete this property purchase and work on future opportunities together.”

“Andy and Selena have provided me excellent and punctual service through both of my home purchases, one principal and one rental, and also an investment property for my mom. Even with the complications involved with out of town investing, I never felt pressured or uncomfortable when the time came to decide which property to eventually close on. Andy was always really quick when it came to setting up a showing time, as well as being very informed with construction and building regulations, and Selena was very courteous and clear with any follow up questions and addressing an other concerns I might have during the whole process. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for any type of property in the Edmonton area.”

“My wife, Meggie, and I just purchased our first investment property in Edmonton. Selena had been very helpful every step of the way. She helped us find great investment opportunities, negotiate with the seller, as well as arrange for inspection and renovation. Selena is very proactive and diligent. She always return our calls and emails immediately. Also, its great to work with her and her team as everyone on the team is familiar with our situation. So there is no need for us to find insurance broker, property manager, lawyer, mortgage broker, and accountant separately. It sure saves a lot of time and energy to work with a team of people that we can trust..We look forward to working with Selena and her team again in the near future!”

“Hi Selena and Andy,
you had asked for comments on your service and I just wanted to tell you and Andy how extremely happy we are. I always knew from experience that both of you provided great service to your clients, now I know first hand how exceptional your work is. You are both professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and best of all, it was fun. Selena, I appreciated how you were attentive to our likes and dislikes of each property, and didn’t waste our time by ensuring the ones we viewed met our needs. Being a real estate agent requires you to be able to read your client and know what they need. Just like shopping at the mall, I want my space to look around, but also have assistance readily available. Andy, I really appreciated how you stepped back and allowed us to just view the property and discuss, but gave us information and guidance when we needed to make a decision. Peter and I are both so excited to finally be homeowners, and especially to finally have the space to spend time with our family and friends.
You guys are the best, thank you so so much!”

We are very grateful that Tyson passed us on to you guys for real estate investment. You are really in the driver seat where as we are just a passenger in real estate investment. You really lead the way with the whole team behind us. We have heard many pitfalls from others in real estate investment. Hopefully with your guidance and experience we can avoid those pitfalls. This is just the beginning (chapter 1) of the journey of real estate investment and we hope to continue this journey with you guys. We do have lots of questions as we move forward and we are sure you will have the answer for us. You guys should do “Real Estate Investment 101″ seminar.”

“Dear Andrew & Selena, THANK YOU so very much for your professional, reliable and guiding hand throughout the purchase of this first revenue property for us. In particular we appreciated the instructive and prompt communication between us at every step in the process. Selena Cheung and Andy Barrett responded quickly to my needs and timelines as a first –time Revenue Investor, as well as out-of-town client. They offer the utmost in personal service, and even though as a REIN member/ home owner I knew I would be selecting my lawyer, insurer, property manager, etc., their system is so well-managed that I was guided right along into completing those tasks quickly. I am forever grateful for Andy’s experienced input as he took the time to show me the vast differences of one property versus another, and then for Selena’s well-written offer and negotiating skills! I have worked with several realtors in the past, but with Andy and Selena, I have finally seen Professionalism defined! THANK YOU both for everything! Until next time.”

” I think back and appreciate how lucky I was to meet and choose Selena and her husband Andy as my Realtor. Being located in Ontario, many times I think and re-consider about buying our first property in Edmonton. We were making all possible excuses to postpone buying our first property in Ontario,but we had all reasons to buy one in Edmonton – as we had a great support from Selena and her team. She was moving very efficient and fast and advised us with great information. Even though I was very novice investor, great power team introduced by her was there in every my move. She taught me many ways and I do not have any doubt going back and choose her as my Realtor next time around.
Good work and Superior job, Selena!!!”

He gave her complete details on the type of home he wanted plus the area he wished to live in. He wasn’t in any rush to purchase and over a period of about 6 months she sent him listings plus did showings on certain homes. She was very patient and gave her unbiased opinion on ever home he had an interest in. Finally a home matching all his criteria became available and he completed the purchase. I highly recommend her for her work ethics plus honesty and integrity. If required we definitely will use her services again.”

” As for feedback I have the following comments.
Working with a out of town realtor:
– this was something I was initially concerned about as I wanted someone who knew the Edmonton area, and the best investment value areas given my budget. I was very impressed with your knowledge of the Edmonton area and that you were able to justify looking at the millwoods area as an ideal investment location for me given my constraints. Great job on this.
Knowledge of investing.
– I was surprised with your knowledge in investing, you know far more than what typical realtors do when it comes to investment purchases and this created a great trust base for our working relationship , allowing my first purchase to be relatively painless compared to what I had expected.
Client service:
– I was overly impressed with the fact that you tailored your services to the level of experience I had in purchasing / investing and you walked me through every part of the process, turning my first purchase in to a great learning experience. You provided great service going above and beyond what I and anyone else would expect their realtor to do, and I am very appreciative of this as a new investor. Thanks so much Selena!”
