I recently had the privilege of working with Erik on a professional level as we have a client in common and I can’t say enough good things about working with Erik and his office. Clear communication and efficient responses to our needs to get the job done, my client was thrilled as well. Overall great experience and I won’t hesitate to refer him in the future.

Erik, Kelsey and Cathy are outstanding at what they do. They did an incredible job selling my home and helping me purchase a new one. They go above and beyond in all areas.
Our home was marketed so beautifully with stunning photography and utilizing many different methods to share our home with a very wide audience. The way they advertised our home looked so eye-catching, polished and professional. Their listings really stand out from others because of this. They really take marketing to a whole other level.
They are all so knowledgeable, trustworthy, very friendly and they work so efficiently as a team. They are very up to date with current market trends and keep their clients informed as well. They were also always incredibly responsive whenever we contacted them.
I will definitely use their services again in the future and will continue to recommend them to friends and family.
They really exceeded my expectations in absolutely every area and I’m so happy with my experiences working with them. They made the process go so smoothly!!

Choosing the Clever Savage Group to both sell my home and assist me in the purchase of a new one was the best decision I could’ve made. From start to finish, and in all aspects, Erik and his team exuded a professional attitude combined with absolute integrity, honesty and a great sense of humour.
My home in Nanoose Bay was professionally marketed to the world and I8 showings occurred in the first ten days! My home sold shortly thereafter.
What stands out? Absolutely everything.
Words to describe Erik: approachable, kind, savvy, informed, intelligent, dedicated, focused and without a doubt, a man of his word. It simply doesn’t get better than this!
No matter where you live on Vancouver Island, I recommend that you choose Erik, Kelsey and Cathy to assist you with one of the most important decisions of your life.
Thank you!!

We worked with Erik and team to purchase and sell our island home. The team’s professionalism, attention to detail and genuine care in the process was outstanding. Erik is knowledgeable, straight shooting and attuned to his client’s needs. We highly recommend this team of rockstars!
Michelle Hargreaves
Erik and Cathy were fantastic to deal with. There was some complexity regarding the sale of our home along with the purchase of a new home. Given a seemingly impossible window to make both deals work, Erik and Cathy managed to pull it all together through their efforts, experience and professionalism.
Kevin Reimer
Erik, Kelsey and Cathy have been such a fantastic team to work with. They take the stress out of buying and selling your home. We have used them on many occasions now and they are so knowledgeable, patient and lovely to work with

Brendon Crabtree
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Erik, Kelsey and Cathy on a number of occasions, conducting home inspections for their clients. I’ve always admired how personable, professional and the amount of integrity they bring to their work. You couldn’t ask for more from your real estate agent!
Chuck Ashton
Could not recommend enough. Kelsey was unbelievable to deal with. She is knowledgeable, prompt, helpful and a joy to work with. We were moving from out of town and Kelsey was always available to go the extra mile to help us out where we needed, most of the time without even having to ask! The initiative she took got us our dream house and we could not thank her enough. Would recommend 10 times out of 10. If you’re looking for a agent, stop here, you found her.

We worked with Erik and the team to sell our place in Qualicum Bay and to purchase our new home in Comox. Erik was such a pleasure to work with! He was easy going, down to earth, very patient in answering all our questions, and really worked with us. He was always very responsive and it was clear he worked hard for us – which isn’t always the case with all realtors! There were challenging issues that came up with our strata (bare land) and he ensured everything was fixed with minimal effort needed by us. He really went above and beyond to make this stressful move as good as it possibly could be! It’s a challenging market, but he was on top of trends, what true value was, and helped us keep expectations realistic. I would highly recommend.
Aisling Brady
We decided to move to the Island from Kelowna this spring, and Erik, Kelsey & Cathy made our search for the perfect home (over several months in a tight market) as effective as it could possibly be – and once we found it they handled every aspect of the purchase professionally and efficiently.
Wayne Danforth
Erik and his team were amazing to work with. Honest, transparent and very responsive through out the whole process!
Megh Shah
“Erik is simply the best! We are first time home buyers and had already parted ways with a couple of realtors before we decided to try Erik. We are so happy we found him!! He gave us honest feedback about places, did video tours for us, was always available, super knowledgeable and was an absolute pleasure to deal with! I have and will recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor in the area. We will definitely use Erik again for any future real estate transactions! Thank you Erik!!!”
Mary G.
“My partner and I had a great experience with Erik Clevering as our realtor. This is my second purchase, first with Erik, and I have now learned the difference that an honest and reliable realtor can make. He responded to us lightning fast, and managed to bring us from looking at a posting to taking possession in only two weeks! He is genuine, skilled, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell. I will definitely want to work with Erik in the future.”
Dawson Ross
“Erik was highly recommended to us through friends and we are more than happy to do the same!
Not only was Erik extremely positive and supportive to work with as first-time home buyers, but he was also ready to work hard at a moments notice to get competitive offers in ASAP.
We came to the table with little experience and lofty dreams of working our way into a competitive market and he was in constant communication until that dream was achieved. Despite the pressures of the market, we worked patiently and consistently as a team. When it was go-time to get an offer in, he was there. His process was honest and realistic – we always felt heard and, most of all, like he was only working for us.
Huge thanks Erik!”
T. Lawrenuk
“Erik is an excellent realtor. I can’t recommend him highly enough. We were looking for a house in the Comox Valley while living in Vancouver and he went above and beyond for us. Erik isn’t just trying to make a sale. He helped to make sure we would find something we are happy with and never tried to push us into something that wouldn’t be right for us or we couldn’t afford.”
SaraJane Dykeman
“This was my first experience buying a home and I was so impressed with Erik. He took the time to get to know us and our needs, as well as understanding where we were at in our lives and our long term goals. He went above and beyond to help us search for properties remotely and we really enjoyed touring homes with him when we were able to visit in person. I would recommend Erik without hesitation!”
Helen Wilkinson
“Erik has been a joy to work with over the last six months while we found our perfect home! We were nervous first-time homebuyers planning to move from Vancouver to the Island, and Erik confidently guided us through the home purchasing process.
His communication was excellent, and he made us feel like he genuinely cared about us finding the right place for us. He’s easy to talk to, and his personal experience buying a home in Courtenay was very relatable and reassuring. His recommendations and instincts helped us avoid some bad choices, but he was also down to let us follow some of our own (questionable) leads.
He went above and beyond every step of the way, from checking out places while we couldn’t get away from the city to digging around for hidden septic systems! We had some complicated and unique negotiations and requirements, and Erik came up with some creative solutions that ended up getting us everything we wanted. We really felt like we had someone on our side.
We would recommend Erik without hesitation! The whole experience has been smooth and positive, and we feel like this new chapter of our lives has started on the right foot in large part due to Erik’s fantastic work.”
Sam Humphrey
“This was my first time buying a house and I am shocked at how easy and smooth the experience was especially considering we were all navigating a new way of doing things due to Covid-19. Erik went above and beyond from day one and was always ready to help. I will be moving in just two weeks after the viewing and that kind of speed would definitely not have been possible without all Erik’s help. I will be highly recommending him to anyone I know from this day forward! Thanks again for everything Erik!”
Laura Granger
“I have seen and dealt with a lot of real estate agents and Erik is by far the most energetic, go getter, hard working and easy to work with realtor. We must have looked at 100 places together before we found the right one, he was enthusiastic the whole time. Great guy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.”
Martin Letourneau
“There are certainly some sketchy realtors when it comes to buying real estate at Mount Washington, so we were super relieved and overjoyed to come across Erik! This guy went over and above on everything for us and is super knowledgable. Living in Victoria made it difficult for us to view places, and he was always willing to go have a look for us, take measurements or do any other random task we required. We would highly recommend him to anyone and we’ll use him again in the future if we ever need a realtor up Island.”
Lexi Corbett
“Erik cannot help but make you smile. He has an engaging personality that makes his clients adore him We’ve worked with Erik and his clients on many positive transactions. He is a pleasure to work with.”
Mackenzie Gartside
“Always excellent to deal with Erik. When selling he goes the extra mile to hire the best photographers and create additional websites for his listings. He is energetic and will go the extra mile to find you what you’re looking for.”
Gavin Crouch
“Erik did an amazing job marketing and selling my home. I would highly recommend choosing Erik as your Realtor. I couldn’t be happier!”
Lynne Fedorick (CPDT-KA)
“We highly recommend the professionalism of Erik and team at E & V! We appreciated the top notch customer service and communication throughout the selling process of our home. They are also super knowledgeable in providing advice for tenanted properties. The marketing plan they developed was innovative and client-centred. Thanks to all the team!”
Robyn Butler Pauletto
“Erik and his team have been a tremendous help to my family and I in relocating to Vancouver Island. From Zoom meetings for distance showings to countless online/phone correspondences and onsite visits, I was well taken care of. Moving is stressful but Erik was able to keep me informed and calm every step of the way. After several showings we found my perfect house in Cumberland and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend working with Erik at Engle & Volkers if buying or selling your home.”
Che Crippin
“Thank you so much Kelsey, for your help finding us a property. Your diligence, resourcefulness, professionalism, and commitment to your client … through this year’s adversities… were more than I could hope for. If there’s a way I can help spread the word, or recommend you, please let me know. And, certainly, I’d like to please keep in touch should we like to make another property buy/sell!”
D.E.
“Kelseys honesty, attention to our needs, and detail oriented work ensured we bought the right property. She went above and beyond to make our home purchase seamless from beginning to end. We even ended up getting our property for under asking in the height of a multiple offer market! We couldn’t be happier with our home or with her service”
C.S.
” Kelsey helped our family find a home in a really challenging market! She was prompt to respond, patient with us and listened to our requests seriously. It had stressful moments during the process but Kelsey was calm and collected throughout and looked into details to give us the proper information to make an educated choice. We’d be happy to work with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. “
