Aiysha Volders

This review covers both the recent purchase of a new home and the sale of our Hammonds Plains residence. In the past few months, my wife and I were incredibly fortunate to work with Aiysha again to find an oceanfront home in a beautiful location along Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore. The move was the culmination of a two-step process to return to our home province last year and then to find the perfect home on the water. (Our review of that initial purchase experience is pasted in below) Once again, Aiysha expertly assisted and guided us as we purchased the new home near Martinique Beach and, more importantly, coached and represented us as we sold our original home - much faster than we could have expected. Anyone who has ever bought a new home before selling their current place knows it can be a nerve-wracking experience. We can honestly say that we never would have taken the plunge if we did not have so much confidence and trust in Aiysha. Finding the perfect waterfront home was a labour of love. Once again, Aiysha's skilled research, advice and depth of knowledge about our broad search areas paid off. As before, she was patient and thoughtful about the search, fully understanding what we were looking for and how important it was not to compromise. As a buyer, it really is special to have that understanding and faith in your agent. In due course, with Aiysha's expert guidance we were successful and couldn't be happier with our new home. :) Then, just days after buying the the new property, Aiysha helped us to stage and advertise the original home. Within two weeks of listing the home we were happily considering multiple offers, leading to a very successful sale in minimum time. Aiysha's understanding of the market and trends were critical at this stage. She was incredibly engaged and proactive on every detail as she coached us on the timing, how to stage the home, and the marketing. And it is worth mentioning that she engaged with the best people to make our house "show-ready". Aiysha Volders is still the hardest working, brightest and most responsive agent you will find. After two home buys and a sale, we remain completely impressed and whole-heartedly recommend Aiysha to anyone who is buying or selling. You will be extremely happy with the results.

She was the seller’s agent for a home we viewed in Oakfield, NS. On that day (an Open House), Aiysha devoted so much time to walking around with us and answering all of our questions that it was very easy to get a strong sense of her personal and professional qualities. Driving away from that first encounter, we talked at length about how impressive, knowledgeable, friendly and tremendously committed the agent was in her representation of the property/seller. Fast-forward five months; we were thrilled to engage Aiysha as our own agent. Not surprisingly, that’s when we started to make real progress in our NS home search, culminating in the purchase of a home that is ideally suited for us. Our relationship with Aiysha turned out to be all that we hoped for and more. In the search for our home, she demonstrated daily her professional skills and commitment to us and to the search. At all times, we admired her integrity and felt that she was in sync with what we wanted for a home, bringing us only listings that were suitable then helping us to critique each. In a market with limited inventory, Aiysha was always patient and helped us to remain so. Indeed, each time we considered compromising on important elements, she played a leading role in discussing options and alternatives. Her advice was always sound, well reasoned and factual. Diligent preparation and research are two more of her great strengths. She works harder than any agent we have ever worked with to find answers, details and facts about individual homes and neighborhoods. And she stays well connected to her clients, anticipating our questions and concerns or responding quickly and accurately to messages. We never felt like we had to push for or initiate any part of the process. Throughout every phase of the search and purchase, Aiysha was in the lead, progressing each step and guiding us along. It was a very nice feeling to receive that type of attention - to have such confidence. Unprecedented. Aiysha Volders is a superb, hard working and diligent agent, but we are also happy to say that she is one of the most genuine, friendly, honest and decent people you will ever meet. We engaged her because her personal qualities impressed us greatly in our first meeting. Since then, we have come to know her and her family (husband and new baby). They are authentic, genuinely nice people, who are a pleasure to be around. We will definitely engage Aiysha for all of our future real estate needs. And we recommend her without hesitation to you - anyone seeking a professional, friendly and skilled representative. Martin and Cheryl Galvin Hammonds Plains

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Aiysha as our real estate agent, and I must say that our experience exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning to the final stages of the process, Aiysha demonstrated her unwavering commitment to professionalism, expertise, and exceptional client service. Communication was another aspect where Aiysha truly excelled. She was always responsive, promptly addressing any concerns or questions we had. Whether it was via email, phone, or in-person meetings, she maintained open lines of communication throughout the entire journey. This level of responsiveness and attentiveness not only made us feel valued as clients but also ensured that every detail was taken care of in a timely manner. Overall, our experience with Aiysha was nothing short of outstanding. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication to client satisfaction were unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend Aiysha to anyone seeking a top-notch estate agent who goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. With her, you can trust that your real estate needs will be met with integrity, precision, and unmatched service.

Working with Aiysha is truly a five star experience! Par excellence! I was in the market for a new home and in a new city I had never visited. After weeks of browsing the internet and writing to several listing agents in the Halifax Metropolitan area, none responded to my enquiries. While browsing the Re/Max page I noted names of 4-agents. Aiysha was the first one I called after a long day of work. I left her detailed message and that very evening she sent me a text and we spoke at length the following day. From Day 1 Aiysha has been knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful and timely about the full cycle of the buying process. Every listing she sent me matched the ideals I was looking for in a property and she expertly helped me navigate the pros and cons associated with them. Because I was in Ontario, we were able to arrange virtual viewings that went a long way in determining whether or not I would place an offer on a property. The first offer I made on a house went through several rounds of counter offers which Aiysha expertly negotiated each step of the way. Ultimately, the offer was rejected but I knew I had the best person in my corner to facilitate any other transaction that would come about. Less than 24hrs of mourning the rejected offer, a property was listed on the internet and it had everything I was looking for! Over that weekend the property received much interest sparking multiple offers on the home. I am glad I followed Aiysha's advice because I ended up with the winning offer! I made a trip to Halifax for the house inspection days later. Not only had Aiysha arranged an expert inspector to comb through the home to ensure soundness, she also picked me up from the airport. Fast forward to 4-weeks later I managed to close on the home. I cannot run out of descriptors for Aiysha. Authentic, kind, very thoughtful, generous and collected. If you are looking to buy from out of town or province, do not hesitate to call and trust in Aiysha. Even if you are already in the Halifax area, call on Aiysha too. When I expand my real estate portfolio she will be first person I will call on.

Aiysha was such a blessing. To navigate such a path, with such profound consequences, without her would have been, for sure, no where near as successful as it was. Aiysha is very calm and steadying and brings excellent interpersonal skills to contexts which very much need them. But she is also steadfast and robust -she will dig in for her clients. A consummate professional. Really impressive. I commend her to anyone who wants to feel at ease with an agent who will also get the job done.

It was such a pleasure having Aiysha as our real estate agent. Aiysha is very warm, friendly and easy to communicate with. Her knowledge about the Halifax area market, and her keen judgement resulted in the sale of our home greatly exceeding our expectations. Aiysha really went the extra mile and it made our relocation so much easier. If only we could have worked with her when buying our new home, but alas, we've left the province. We truly felt that Aiysha was with us all the way.
