Venus McBride ALC, Horsepower Real Estate

Venus McBride was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our buying and selling situation was a bit complex, but she guided us through every step with patience, professionalism, and good humor. She was also incredibly kind and patient with our two young children, which made the process so much easier for our whole family. We worked with Venus for well over a year and never felt rushed or pressured into making any moves we didn't feel ready for. Venus always offered honest, thoughtful, insights, and we knew with her help that our decisions would be good ones. Thanks to her dedication and deep knowledge of the area where we wanted to be, we ended up with our dream property. We truly felt supported every step of the way. Highly recommend Venus to anyone looking for a new home or rural property i

I first reached out to Venus about three years ago when I initially started planning our move back to the area. We had a great, lengthy conversation about my and my partner's needs, wants, and priorities. She set up an automatic alert to send me listings that met my criteria, and helped me keep an eye on the market here for two years before we were actually ready to make the leap. It took a while to get all our ducks in a row and I was a little embarrassed to reach out again when the time finally came, but she didn't miss a single beat. She remembered me and what we were hoping for and we launched right into a search for our "forever" home. Venus was able to really skillfully balance my dreams with my needs and my partner's (sometimes different) needs, using her deep practical knowledge o

Working with Venus was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to help us find the perfect rental property. What impressed us most was her attention to detail and how she made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. We always felt like a top priority and appreciated her honest advice along the way. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to guide you through buying or selling, I highly recommend Venus!

Venus did an absolutely wonderful job selling our home. We first met her a couple of years ago when we had looked a property she was selling; we were so impressed that when it came time to sell our place we chose her as our seller’s realtor. Venus is great to work with in so many ways! She pays close attention to detail, knows what’s important and what isn’t when getting ready to list your home, provides moral support when needed during the stressful selling process, and is so dedicated to optimizing the sale. Venus made a point of always being on site whenever the inspectors for the buyers came to our property, in order to answer any questions or concerns that might come up. She knows country property and that is so important - many, if not most, realtors don’t, and they will miss things.

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Venus. When I made the decision to sell my home I called her and she immediately got to work! The insight she shared regarding how to prep my home was amazing. I found myself questioning if I really wanted to sell :) Venus was there every step of the way making my part of the transaction a pleasure. Thank you Venus!
