Buying a home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming
Clear guidance, honest advice, and a team that helps you make confident decisions from day one.
OUR PROCESS
Guidance at Every Step of Your Purchase
Buying a home is exciting, but it can feel overwhelming without the right guidance. Our goal is to help you navigate the process with clarity, education, and steady support so you can make confident decisions along the way.
Whether you’re buying your first home or making a move that fits a new stage of life, we take the time to ensure you understand each step before moving forward.
Getting to Know You and Your Goals
We start with a detailed consultation to understand your priorities, budget, timeline, and lifestyle needs. This is where we walk through the buying process, discuss market conditions, and set expectations so you feel prepared from the beginning.
From there, we build a plan that fits you.
Laying the Financial Groundwork
Understanding your financial position is key to a smooth purchase. We help you navigate pre-approvals and connect you with trusted professionals when needed so you have a clear picture of your buying power before making an offer
Touring Homes with Purpose
Viewing homes is one of the most exciting parts of the process. We tour properties together, paying close attention to layout, condition, and long-term potential, while keeping your goals front and center.
If you’re still figuring out what works best, exploratory tours can help narrow things down.
Writing a Strong, Informed Offer
When you find the right home, we guide you through the offer process in detail. This includes price, deposit, conditions, timelines, and inclusions, all explained clearly so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to.
Each offer is tailored to the property and current market conditions.
Due Diligence and Subject Review
Once your offer is accepted, we guide you through the subject period. This may include inspections, financing approval, document reviews, and other due diligence depending on the property.
We help coordinate the right professionals and review results with you so you can move forward confidently.
Final Steps and Getting the Keys
After subjects are removed and the purchase becomes firm, we assist with the final steps leading up to completion and possession. We help coordinate timelines and ensure everything is in place for a smooth transition into your new home.

We had the pleasure of working with Sara Brown and Jacky Provost with buying our first home in Nanaimo. Sara was amazing to work with, she was very honest, not pushy and prompt during the whole process. She was on top of everything and completed everything in a very timely manner. Together Jacky and Sara made our first home buying experience very pleasant. I would highly recommend their team to anyone.

I and my husband Mario back in the early months of 2020, decided to sell our house in Richmond, BC where we lived for 29 years. We decided to moved to Vancouver Island but do not know any realtor to help us find a new place to live. Buying a house is such a big decision and I always pray for guidance to find a good and trustful realtor .... we will led to meet Sara Brown and Jack Provost ... after talking to them we did not talked or searched for any other realtor ... they helped us find the house that we are enjoying today ... not only that also led us to buy another one (rental property)... they are truly professional realtors with a personal touch, patient and always listened to what we need... they even go beyond after we have acquired our properties.. today, nearly four years, if ever I have a question or to ask a favor with regards to real estate, Sara and Jacky is always there to answer our queries... we will not look for any realtor in the future if ever we decide to sell or buy again our properties ... More power Sara and Jacky !!!!!

Jacky went above and beyond to make the whole process smooth and stress-free. Very down-to-earth, approachable, and genuinely helpful. I m extremely happy with my experience and would highly recommend Jacky to anyone looking for a great real estate agent!

I ve had the pleasure of working with Coastal Island Real Estate Group twice now, and both experiences have been exceptional. We didn t have to search through a ton of houses Jacky Prevost and Sara Brown made the whole process so easy by helping us find exactly what we needed right off the bat.
One of the standout moments for me was how quickly they sold my home. After striking a deal on a new property, they had my home listed just days later, and it sold in no time at all. Their efficiency and knowledge of the market really made a huge difference in making that transition seamless.
What stands out the most is their professionalism and dedication. They made the entire buying and selling process smooth and stress-free, from negotiating the price to handling all the paperwork. Jacky and Sara were always available to answer any questions, and their communication was spot-on never any surprises, just straightforward updates along the way.
I also love that they never pushed us into a decision. It was clear they were focused on helping us find the best fit, not just closing a deal. Their approach felt personal, and we always felt supported.
Coastal Island Real Estate Group, with Jacky and Sara, is definitely the team you want if you re looking for top-notch service. We ve used them twice now and will absolutely reach out again when it s time for our next move. Highly recommend!
