    TESTIMONIAL

    Richard Osborne and the excellent team at LandQuest® Realty sold the C1 Ranch of Alexis Creek in its entirety for me in 2017. I found Richard to be very hard working, attentive to detail, understanding of the issues and personalities, fair and boldly honest. The sale involved many complex issues, Richard and the LandQuest® Realty team managed all the varied aspects with a keen display of excellent knowledge re-enforced by a consistently steady hand and pleasant manner.

    I highly recommend Richard Osborne and the LandQuest® team should you have a property to sell or need to find a property to purchase.
