About Us

Communicate, Connect, Create By Maj Khan

The ability to communicate, to connect, to create networks and
establish relationships is powerful. Fioretta Di Stasi Wilinofsky and
Christopher Rivers exemplify what it means to forge and maintain
lasting relationships.  It is their integrity, their intelligence,
their expertise and their focus to deliver what is in their clients'
best interest that makes this team phenomenal.

With a combined experience that spans more than 40 years, Fioretta and
Christopher know real estate, understand their   clients' needs and
provide an experience that is memorable.  More than simply the scope
of their skills defines this outstanding partnership.  It is their
desire to redefine existing expectations and provide a level of
service characterized by care, pride and hard work.

Here are two exemplary agents who eloquently represent the
international and neighbourhood flavour of the city they live and work
in. Vancouver, British Columbia is a rich tapestry of breathtaking
landscapes, peoples, religions, cultures, languages, foods, music,
visual arts and so much more. Fioretta and Christopher's comprehensive
experience includes interacting with people from diverse communities
and as a result are well equipped to meet their clients' various
demands.

Language, culture, beliefs and values are not barriers for this
partnership, but bridges they are willing to build on. Fioretta offers
an unusual combination of artistic insight and instinctive business
savvy. Her nurturing style, her flair for languages and ability to
communicate with and understand people from all walks of life has
allowed her to work well with clients worldwide.

In particular, she enjoys showing her fellow Italians the beauty of
Vancouver. "There is no city like Vancouver in the world. It offers
spectacular settings, a safe and superior quality of life and the best
in sports, arts and culture, in addition to its exceptional
universities. Many of our international clients make a long term
investment in real estate in British Columbia."

The exceptional standard of higher learning is a key asset to this
city and why so many young people with bright futures come.  It boasts
three universities:  The University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser
University and scheduled to open in the fall of 2007 is Quest
University located in Squamish, which is between Vancouver and
Whistler. Founded by Dr. Strangway, Past President of UBC, this
particular university utilizes the natural West Coast architectural
style, is visually stunning and reflects British Columbia's 'Sea to
Sky' country. The landscape is aptly named so because the town is
situated in a tranquil valley surrounded by the majestic Coast Range
Mountains.  Squamish is therefore considered paradise for those who
enjoy a wide variety of sports.  In particular it is heaven for
climbers, windsurfers and hikers. Currently the Squamish waterfront is
under heavy redevelopment and this will contribute to the value of the
city and surrounding region.

Christopher is born and bred in the city he now services. He grew up
in the industry, first in construction and sales and now enjoys his
role as an agent. His inspiration and his role model is his father,
who started Rivers Realty and Construction in the 1950's, a
well-recognized company.  Christopher learned a great deal about the
profession, how to manage a business and work with people's many
individual needs.  Grounded in every sense, this agent displays calm
sureness and solid strength that reflects his ease within his
environment. He is a phenomenal negotiator who takes full advantage of
technology. His perception of the market, knowedge of the product and
awareness of the neighbourhood gives him the competitive advantage to
deliver unparalleled results. "Our clients need to know that we want
to build healthy working relationships that are strong and enduring.
It is vital to us that they understand we are there for them all the
way and not only until the end of a transaction."

Clients note: "Fioretta and Christopher are not only great educators
and mentors—they are  'real' people.  They are superior quality
individuals with high integrity, extraordinary energy, passion and
drive. Their love for real estate and people, including their clients
seems to grow every day. I value them not only as realtors but as my
friends."

Two very different people—two distinct points of view create a
thriving platform for ideas, problem solving and creative delivery of
services. Fioretta and Christopher know how to guide their clients
through the complete experience of buying property in Canada; from the
initial interview to the ultimate financial details and documents
needed to complete the sale.

Because many clients have very little time to see properties, this
team knows it is essential to provide a complete and concise
assessment of the market and the value of a property. Meticulous
attention is given to everything they do and to ensure excellence is
never compromised this partnership is backed by Buyer's Agent Parm
Bains and administrator Annalena Ormesher.

They can also communicate with anyone because they have access to
professional people that speak many languages including Italian,
Spanish, Swedish, French, Punjabi, Russian and Hebrew.

Fioretta and Christopher go one step further. Because of their ability
to connect on a global scale, they have access to exceedingly talented
professionals in every field within the real estate industry whether
it is construction, design, technology and so much more.  They enjoy
working with and connecting with people all over to test limits, set
higher goals and find more innovative and creative means to develop,
design, build and ultimately deliver what is considered impossible.

It is a pleasure for this team to introduce and educate their clients
about the city they love so much. It is this special ability to take
the best that is offered around the world and use it to transform
Vancouver and its well-deserved reputation that makes this partnership
outstanding.

Vancouver is in a unique position.  Its strong economic growth and
rising immigrant population has resulted in homes being valued higher
than other major cities in the country. Bordered by agricultural land
on one side and water and mountains on the other, there is only so
much prime land for development. However, at the same time, due to the
existing population, which is relatively small compared to the amount
of territory that still exists, Vancouver has a future of significant
growth.

The city continues to attract people worldwide for countless reasons.
The fusion of cultures allows for faster integration as well as a
greater acceptance of values and ideas. Much of the city is still
preserved with its parks, trees and green spaces. The climate is mild
and as a result the lifestyle superior. Vancouver is world renowned
for its natural outdoor sports whether it is skiing, skating, fishing,
boating, sailing and many other activities. No wonder this city has
been chosen to host the 2010 Olympics!

For service that is stamped with efficiency and effectiveness,
coloured with value and care and provided with willingness and a
smile, it is in the capable hands of Fioretta and Christopher that can
move you from one world to another.
