Colby was fantastic. As first-time homebuyers, we were definitely nervous, but his knowledge and support made the whole process so much easier. He went above and beyond to help us out, including doing thorough research on every location we were interested in. He even provided fact sheets highlighting key details about each area, which really helped us make confident decisions. We’re so thankful and will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.
Thank you, Colby! We love our new place.

We are so grateful to Colby Hennessy for being our guide through the process of buying a new home and selling our older one.
Colby was always responsive to our questions, informative in his responses, professional and warm in his approach, creative in his marketing, generous with his time and totally accommodating to our individual needs. He's empathetic, enthusiastic, charming, kind and a joy to be around. He has a brilliant eye for the esthetic details. And, perhaps most importantly, sincere, genuine and completely trustworthy.
We could not have been more fortunate in having chosen Colby Hennessy for one of the most important, and potentially stressful, life events.
We felt he had our backs and what can make any of us feel more secure than that?
Wishing Colby all success.
Mark and Tiferet Welch

My husband and I were super newbies in the R.E market, and were not sure if we wanted to go presale or resale. Colby was a wealth of information on helping us through that decision. He gave us all the pro's and con's of both, was very patient and honest with us on all the listings that we saw/wanted to see. He set up super efficient itineraries for all the weekend showings, and followed up with a post showing recap meeting every time. He walked us through the entire process step by step and really put us at ease with quick calls/checkins consistently. It really made the process a lot less stressful for us 1st time homebuyers.
Post sale Colby gave us great recommendations for some of the reno's we had done. His background in trades really helped us understand what to watch for during the reno process, and he also helped us with some of the Demo! Not sure if that's standard with realtors, but I think that just goes to show Colby's dedication to his work and his clients.
Colby is highly organized, a great communicator, negotiator and is an absolute class act. He's a really strong advocate for his clients and a lot of fun to work with! Highly recommend Colby and will definitely be using him in the future for our next upgrade!

Colby, was a exceptional real estate agent ! Our apartment had a difficult tenant in it and was hard to sell. He helped us not only with the tenant but also with getting it ready for selling. In a tuff market he persevered and got the job done !
We will work Colby again and I highly recommend him for any sale or purchase you are considering.

We met Colby by happenstance attending an open house of one of his listings. We didn't have a realtor at that point and were really only casually looking. Colby was engaging and genuinely interested in understanding what we were looking for. He is easy to connect with and listens. He reached out to us after his open house and was very proactive in searching out properties for us. At each viewing, he learned a bit more of our likes and dislikes and adapted his search. I find that realtors aren't that actively involved in searching out properties. Colby was. He came to us regularly with new finds to go view. When we found a property to offer, he advised us, and didn't push us. He respected our opinions and bottom line; even when it meant that the might not get a sale. Through the negotiating process, Colby was professional, diligent, and respectful. Upon possession of our ultimate purchase, Colby went above and beyond ; connecting us with trades, getting us quotes for repairs, and ensuring absolutely everything was perfect. Colby is definitely an expert in his field and has the perfect balance of reassurance, business saavy, and the grit you want in a negotiator. He has tremendous contacts in trades, design, landscaping. The experience working with Colby is top notch.

Colby is a very attentive, thorough and knowledgeable realtor. He was an absolute joy to work with! We spent over a year looking for our unicorn-home and finally found it - and he was there, guiding the process with great care, concern, understanding and patience. He replies promptly, and with enthusiasm and kindness. We found him to be very tenacious and it gave us a lot of relief during this process. If he doesn't know something about a particular unit, he works tirelessly to get the answer. He shared our triumphs and pitfalls with compassion and grace. He has a superior understanding of real estate and yet can explain it in very simple terms so that we could get it as well.
He put in a lot of time and effort into every offer we made - and in this market, it was extensive. He also responded to our questions and concerns well past 9pm on any given day, even weekends! Colby is a master of his craft and loves what he does, as well as the people who are lucky enough to work with him!
Overall, we highly recommend Colby and his team when you're looking for your new home!

Colby went above and beyond as a realtor to help us navigate selling our downtown condo, and then purchasing a new condo. He took time to get to know us to truly understand our plans and help us navigate the real estate process for both transactions. He staged our condo, had a photographer take amazing photos for the listing, and scheduled showings all within a week of listing the property - the condo sold after only one open house! We highly recommend Colby as he commits fully to working for his clients.

Colby was the most knowledgable, hands-on and strategic resource in helping me find and purchase my new townhome. He came in very well researched, gave me really important info to consider at each stage of the process, and was very strategic in negotiating me through to a successful purchase. A complete 360 difference from any other agent I’ve worked with in the past. Would 1000% recommend Colby as a game-changing real estate agent!

It was a pleasure to work with Colby in the purchase of my first condo in Vancouver. His combined approach of professionalism and care was informative and reassuring. In fact, on a few items of significance he was insightful, supportive and went above the call-of-action to rectify. Colby has superb communication skills and naturally seeks to understand from all angles. So happy to know him - I highly recommend seeking him out regarding selling or buying your (next) home!

Working with Colby Hennessy to list and sell my house in a changing market was an awesome experience. It didn't matter that my house is on Vancouver Island and he is located in Vancouver. I felt very well taken care of and he made the process very easy and low stress. Colby suggested I conduct a pre-listing inspection so I could address any little issues before showing the home, which worked to my benefit and created added buyer confidence, ultimately leading to the sale. He went the extra mile, staging the house and taking amazing photos as part of his package. He worked with an exclusive marketing firm to create beautiful visuals and advertisements to make the house stand out. I highly recommend working with Colby to list your home - he will work tirelessly to get it sold quickly and for top dollar.

My husband and I recently moved from Alberta, we were referred to Colby by our very good realtor/friend in Alberta before our arrival in BC. This allowed us to give Colby a briefing of what we were looking for and how much time we had to find a place. Colby is amazing to work with he has gone above and beyond for us including a Welcome to BC Basket full of amazing treats which arrived the same day we arrived!! He has made our buying experience so much fun and we look forward to referring our friends and family knowing they will be very well taken care of by Colby! Thank you so much for helping us find our amazing property!

We were having a really difficult time finding a new home. We had been searching for well over 6 months with another realtor, with multiple offers that fell through. A lot of of our efforts just didn’t seem to be coming together smoothly and we were ready to give up for a long time and shelf our idea of finding our “dream home” in Vancouver.
We had a serendipitous chat with Colby one day, and immediately, he knew exactly what we were looking for. In fact, the first listing he sent us was a perfect fit. Everything from the style to the location was spot on. It was a bit of wizardry on his part how he found exactly what we were looking for and picked up on so much detail. He really understood us.
Each and every appointment from beginning to end was professional. Colby made it a point to come prepared and took all the guess work out of the experience. We felt very comfortable making our decision to eventually purchase the “dream home” he found for us, as we always had all the information in front of us. It was such a seamless experience.
Colby was also tasked with selling our former home. Colby handled this with ease and got us above the initial amount we were looking for swiftly and effectively. Everything lined up so well thanks to his tenacity and hard work.
We truly enjoyed the way Colby made us feel special as clients and friends. From his generosity with his time, to treating us to a lovely celebratory dinner at the end of the experience, we were so impressed with how thoughtful he was. It made this time in our lives so memorable.
We highly recommend Colby as your realtor. We’re thrilled we had an opportunity to work with him.
