“Working with Bente Pilgaard was easy and a pleasure… She was very thorough, often answering questions I didn’t even know to ask. I was very thankful that she could always provide me with an answer when I needed it, often within minutes of a text or email… her steady and consistent availability and depth of knowledge made the mysteries of Island property buying a very easy process. From start to finish, a period of about 6 months, I felt the benefits of a caring and professional real estate agent. And now as a Denman resident, I have a resource in Bente Pilgaard as well as a friend.” – Evan
