 ”Looking for a realtor with some zest and zing?  Search no further, Valerie Zinger is an agent with up-beat dynamic style who will not let you drown in the grey ocean of average suburban properties.  Her navigational skills will lead you all the way to the funky jazzy house-as-an-island retreat of your dream!…..”   Martin K., MLA (Master Degree in Landscape Architecture), Alta Vista

“…I was so discouraged that I was questioning the wisdom in making the move.  Then someone gave me Valerie Zinger’s card and website and suggested that I give her a call.  The first thing that struck me was the sheer sense of client service Valerie exuded.  Normally one senses an eagerness to make a sale.  Valerie was not pushing me to purchase….when I saw something I liked, she was my voice of caution to see a few more before I committed.  She was encouraging, supportive and above all the epitome of integrity and professionalism.  She did everything she could to make the purchasing experience smooth for me.  She so obviously enjoys what she does, she cares about her clients’ interest and her enthusiasm translates to make a really stressful activity ‘almost a cake-walk’. ”   M.M., Accountant, Kanata

“Sensitively matching a client with the right property is a realtor’s art…  Highly effective professional service of Valerie Zinger enabled me to reach a desirable property in less than one month!  Valerie’s expertise lets the matchmaking art flourish while helping clients to reach their goals.”  Dr. Bernard L.
