Award-winning ReMax realtor Jill Pennefather has built a winning reputation throughout the Vancouver market during the past 20 years.

Jill credits her previous career as a registered nurse, both in Montreal and at the Vancouver General Hospital Emergency, where she worked for 16 years.

"That experience really taught me to listen," she explains. "When someone came in, you had to listen with all five senses on full alert to assess the situation and take the right actions."

Jill transferred her irreplaceable skills to her Vancouver real estate career in 1987. She has since made the "whole real estate experience" a pleasure and success for hundreds of individuals, couples and families.

While Jill credits her "I start by listening" approach and her love for Vancouver and BC at large, her clients are quick to point out she's an innovative marketer, tough negotiator, persuasive salesperson and on the whole a patient and enthusiastic person that's fun to be around.

"With knowledge, patience and kindness, Jill assisted my mother in marketing and selling her home," explains Karen Jewel of Vancouver. "Jill's knowledge of real estate issues, her marketing and sales techniques and her understanding of the emotional turmoil that selling a home can generate were invaluable to our entire family. I would unquestionably recommend Jill to anyone who is selling or purchasing a home."
