Redman Notary* - Nanaimo, British Columbia

Connie M.

Brenda and her supporting staff made moving from Vancouver Island to the Mainland easy. We were worried about the logistics of moving from here and buying somewhere else, but felt confident in Brenda’s ability, and she exceeded expectations. Friendly, courteous and timely service all around. Highly recommend.

This was a deeply upsetting and stressful experience that could have been easily avoided with proper communication. When I booked my appointment at this notary office, I was not informed that there would be dogs on the premises. Had I known, I could have asked for accommodations or chosen a different office, as I have a severe fear of dogs.

When I arrived, I walked through the hallway to speak with the receptionist. While I was talking to her, two dogs suddenly approached me. One stood in the hallway, blocking my exit, and the other began barking at me. I was completely frozen with fear and unable to move or speak for 2 to 3 minutes.

During that time, Brenda Redman did not remove the dogs. Instead, she commented to the receptionist that I was “acting scared,” and implied that my fear was the reason the dog was barking. This was extremely unprofessional and insensitive, especially given how visibly distressed I was.

Eventually, Brenda took the dogs into another room—but then asked me to go into that same room where the dogs had just been. When I hesitated, still shaken, she said, “This is what it is. I have dogs. If you want your paper signed, come inside.”

Even if only a few people have fears or allergies related to dogs, it should still be taken into consideration in a professional setting. A simple notice or heads-up in advance could make a huge difference for clients like myself. I left the office feeling humiliated, dismissed, and extremely disappointed. I would not recommend this notary office to anyone who expects a respectful, accommodating environment.
I just edit my review, to write it with all details and clear.

Brenda Redman did our will and later legal work when my wife passed away. Now I have sold my house and she is doing the conveyancing. So I give her and her employees my full confidence.

I've never written a bad review in my life. I'm a very reasonable person. My notary Joy Becker retired, she was fabulous. Brenda was a disaster for me. I had her remove my mom's name from title, and she released the funds for my refinancing as part of that. She released to much money, I knew it, and her wording about it being sent to my account. She did nothing to alleviate my anxiety, and simply urged me to sign ,saying basically, oh don't worry it will get looked at. This money and house is all most of us have. No time to be casual. In her role she should have more understanding about where funds are going, to argue her end is the legal piece may be true, but a really professional person has extra knowledge and covers their bases. Getting the amount wrong was careless of her and genuinely stressful for me. My initial feeling was accurate, I should have followed my gut and gone elsewhere. Never again. I did not feel cared about and competency was questionable.

Brenda is truly exceptional, and I can't thank her enough for her outstanding assistance when we purchased our home. She played a crucial role in providing clear explanations and ensuring all legal aspects were handled seamlessly. Brenda's dedication and knowledge are truly commendable, and I highly recommend her services.

Brenda is an exceptional Notary.
She assisted us in the purchase of our first home and we could not be happier with the service she provided.
She was communicative, worked with us to find a time to meet and was able to explain things in a clear and concise manner.
We had a number of questions for Brenda as we worked through our transaction, and she always took the time to provide an answer, or direct us to the appropriate place.

There were a few details that Brenda caught that other people had missed, and her attention to detail really helped to ensure that our transaction went through smoothly and there were no headaches when it came time to take possession.

We will be sure to use her for any future notary business, and have already recommended her to our friends and family.

Brenda is very knowledgeable with wills and estate planning. She took the time to explain to explain the importance of keeping my documents current so that my family knows my wishes and will be taken care of. I definitely recommend her!
