Reviews of Siya Herman - Oakwyn Realty (Real Estate Agency)

Helen Gulliver

Siya was a pleasure to work with as we searched for a new home in an extremely challenging market. The one area for change we felt was the need to be punctual for all showings (& we were sorry she wasn’t personally able to hand over our keys - after all her work!) Importantly, Siya was unfailingly positive and encouraging, which was especially appreciated when we were discouraged! With any offers she was diligent in searching out all the facts so that we could proceed (or not) with confidence. Easy to talk to, any advice was always professional. And with Siya’s help we did eventually find the right home, for which we are extremely grateful.

Siya Herman is simply the best! Her beautiful, calm, but confident demeanor makes you feel at ease instantly. She truly cares about her community, puts people first, leads with kindness, and has excellent knowledge. If you’re looking for a five-star experience in your Real Estate transaction Siya is the Agent for you!

Siya has been looking and sending house information for months when we arrived she put a most of day aside for us. We saw ten homes and found one we wanted. Hard working and honest.

I found Siya to be a friendly and outgoing person with good negotiating skills. I found a property that I was interested in and she was able to get it for what I told her I was willing to pay. It all went smoothly including the closing of the deal.

Siya and her team were supportive through the whole process and made the experience very pleasant. Siya is very knowledgable and was able to advise us on things we had never even thought of. Could not have done it without her.

Siya was the most patient and understanding realtor during my long time search for an investment property. Siya's advice in writing my counter offer also helped me score a bargain! Recommended!

Siya goes above and beyond! She works incredibly hard, helped us with so many extras when we made the decision to sell and required help to make our home 'show' ready in days! She priced our place perfectly, and created a very complicated purchase agreement while selling our own home. She even provided staging advice which helped sell our home on the same day it was listed! The photos were outstanding along with the description. She communicated buyer responses after showings. Siya worked with us for a year to help us find a beautiful unique home with an amazing ocean view and fantastic mother-in-law suite for my Mom. Siya reached out to help us refine our search parameters with just the right amount of contact, never pushing us to purchase. When we were interested in a home, she was incredibly quick to respond. She also performed some amazing investigative work when we were interested in a piece of property that wasn't listed. She kept us informed during every step of our offer, counter offer and sale of our home. And she's lots of fun! Highly recommend her and thank her for helping us purchase our dream home!!!

I worked with Siya on the sale of my investment property in Feb 2021. We didn't have to be present while we handled our family in mainland. she is very proactive, constant communication.. I will use her again. highly recommended.

Pearl Fredericksen

We made a happy downsizing move in August 2018, from a 3 bedroom rancher to a 2 bedroom seniors-oriented townhouse. Siya Herman and her team were wonderful in getting us through the move from start to finish! Siya first contacted me by phone when I expressed an interest in a Remax listing. She was not pushy but very friendly to talk to. She put us on her email list to receive all the latest listings online in the categories we were interested in. It was fun browsing through them every day, and whenever I found any that we wanted to see she happily arranged viewings. She pointed out helpful information to us and helped us with advice on making an offer, which was accepted immediately! I would heartily recommend Siya and her team!

Curtis Goddard

Siya and I speak often about Real Estate, she has a keen eye for detail & obsesses over client experience. When working with Siya and her team, the details matter, everything must be just right and so it should be! Communicating with Siya is a real Human to Human experience with someone extremely competent in her field. Buying and selling is a tremendous milestone and a choice in representation is a make or break. CALL HER. Thank you for everything Siya!

Lisa Fodor

Siya was an absolute pleasure to work with. As a first time home buyer, her and the whole team really made the process effortless. I felt supported and well informed throughout every step of the process. I would highly recommend Siya to anyone looking to find the perfect spot to call home.

Jad T

A few coworkers and I were recommended to work with Siya. I am glad that i got an opportunity to work with Siya since she is very cordial and professional in her work. Her work is reflective of those qualities, she provides excellent service that enables me to sell my home in one week ! She did so by offering an exceptional team to shoot and stage the home for amazing photos and videos. Her service was done smoothly, I would definitely recommend her services!

Dami Akinbayo

Siya was very understanding of my family's situation and the urgency behind our home purchase. She demonstrated sound knowledge of the BC real estate market. She made my home purchase experience very easy. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor that has your best interests at the fore front all the time. She handled all the challenges that came up during the sale very calmly, quickly and professionally.

Emma TKay

Siya was an amazing source of information and assistance to me. Being my first home purchase, I was very nervous and wasn’t quite sure what to look out for. Siya was patient and walked me through finding what was important to me and giving facts that were necessary in my decision making. I loved working with her as she was not pushy at all and I knew she had my best interests at heart. I 100% recommend Siya to anyone looking at buying or selling any real estate. She is totally amazing!

Lindsay Pepper

Siya worked closely with my husband and I to purchase our first home. She was incredibly patient answering all of our questions, as well as helped us understand the process of purchasing a home. Siya really had our best interests at heart and stayed focus on our wants and needs until we found our dream home. From the first meeting until the day we got our keys, Siya was in close contact, encouraging us every step of the way. I would highly recommend Siya, she is incredible at what she does!

Anupam Das

I bought a house through Siya last year. She helped us a lot to identify the right house. She shortlisted some houses according to my requirements and showed all of them. Finally she provided us a very excellent professional service in closing the deal for the house we bought.

Martin Aass

Siya helped us work through a purchase of a property in Nanaimo this past summer. She was helpful and open minded with new ideas. As an out of province investor her knowledge was a comfort.

heather prouty

Siya will do her best to answer all your questions. Even when they are not about real estate!

Allan Nichol

We have used Siya for two transactions now, one purchase and one sale of a home. She has met and exceeded our expectations of what a realtor provides in communication, presentation, and knowledge of her practice. My wife and I are planning to use Siya’s services and skills many more times in the next coming years.

marie chan

Siya is a fantastic realtor to work with. She made our first time home-buying experience such a positive experience. She is very knowledgeable, attentive and prompt. She was very patient and understanding, especially in organizing this whole process while we lived out of town and had to organize viewings into such a limited amount of time. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a home or an investment in the Nanaimo area.

Golfer Okorie

As a First Home Buyer, the whole process was a huge learning curve for me. Siya is very resourceful, efficient, supportive, goal getter and was determined in ensuring my dream of owning my home became a reality. I really appreciate her patient with me and assistance all through the viewing, offer and counter offer process. Siya's valuable advice helped me to make an informed decision. I would highly recommend Siya, she takes pride in the work she does.

Kelsea Whittaker

Siya helped us buy our first home. I can say with full honesty if it wasn't for siya, we would never have been able to do it. It took about 6 months of looking at house, bidding wars, multiple offers and alot more to finally get us the perfect home. Through it all Siya was always very professional, very accommodating and always made it fun! Siya is based out of Nanaimo but drove to lake cowichan (which is about 45 minutes) multiple time a week sometimes to show us houses. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Alicia

Siya is the best real estate agent we've ever had! She is thoughtful, meticulous and won't stop until you find exactly what you were dreaming of. She made the impossible possible, we won't hesitate to work with her again. Thank you Siya!

Dale Fikowski

Siya has been so helpful in assisting us on our first BC property purchase. Her knowledge of the present market in Nanaimo is so vast and accurate. She led us through the buying process effortlessly and painlessly, thank you so much Siya! Dale and Pawana

Shaimaa Basharati

Worked closely with her and she does not have clients best interest at heart. unprofessional and would not recommend to any home buyer. Does'nt work by the book.

Nathan D

We were moving from Surrey to Vancouver Island. We had a great deal of urgency as our house had an accepted offer and the clock was ticking on finding a new home. Siya made us a top priority and always accommodated us for last-minute showings on our available times because we had a ferry to contend with, etc... She was always quick to respond to us and really seemed to care about our needs. We bought a house in Parksville and we now call it home! Siya was a pleasure to work with. =)

Harpreet Kaur

Great experience with siya as we are first time home buyer. I highly recommend her.

Ryan Maizis

Great service and kept my needs at heart. A plus!

Jacquie Rowe

Siya was one of the best realtors I have dealt with. She helped us out of a very difficult situation. The whole purchase was one hurdle after another but Siya was there to help every step of the way. She always went above and beyond and was in constant communication keeping me informed along the way. I cannot find enough accolades to recommend her, she is exceptional - you will not be disappointed.

Kolawole Lawal

Siya is absolutely amazing and very professional. She was very attentive to our need on what we were looking for in a property. She worked day and night to make sure that our goal became a reality. Thank you for a job welldone Siya.

Chris Pierce

Siya. What can we say, again. You helped us buy our dream home and now, you have helped us to quickly sell our Nanaimo condo. You helped to stage, with minimal effort and lots of dialogue, and then you created a very engaging and friendly video tour which was top notch. Many commented how the video drew them in and instilled immediate interest. A pre-emptive bid initiated the receipt of other bids, all above listing. What crazy times! Thanks to Siya for her calmness and ongoing advice. Best wishes Siya.

George&Flo Lueder

Siya is wonderful to work with. As is Desiree. It was a pleasurable experience!

Adelaide Russell

Siya is the perfect fit for a first time home buyer. She answered all of my questions without judgement or making me feel like I was wasting her time. I am thankful for her perseverance to get an amazing deal on my condo. If you want a meaningful relationship with a realtor you can trust, Siya would be a great fit! Keep it up.

Nick Preston

Siya was an amazing person to deal with as I purchased my first home. There were so many things I didn't know would come up, and she made every decision a positive, stress-less experience. Would highly recommend!!

Nigel Lutz

Siya helped us to sell our property in Nanoose Bay, I was impressed with the speed in which she was able to sell it and that she went above and beyond, dealing with some details that were made more difficult as we were out of town during the closing period. Will definitely use her services in any future purchse/sale.

Julie Springer-Aass

Siya was very helpful and provided timely feedback and support for our successful purchase in Nanaimo this past summer! Thank-you Siya.

Sarah Freund

Siya was great in assisting us with our first time buying a home! We were able to work within our budget to get our dream starter home! She helped walk us through the process and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend to anyone looking for that person to add a personal touch to home buying.

Anne Jenkins

Siya Herman is an awesome realtor She found lots of great houses to our specifications and lined up 10 viewings for our first day. She even managed to shift things around when we were a little late (still got to see 10 houses). She was also right on the ball writing offers and countering offers. She got us the house we wanted and bargained to get us a good deal! Siya is also incredibly good company and gives just the right prompts, to make you think about what you really want. She was prompt, friendly, efficient and effective, what else can I say? She comes Highly recommended by us Anne & Dave Jenkins
