My husband and I have worked with Denise over the years on multiple property deals- as sellers and buyers of various properties (condo, townhouse, single detached) across Burnaby and Vancouver. There is a reason Denise is the first person we call when considering a transaction. She’s knowledgeable, personable and reliable. She always works in our best interest and has gone above and beyond every time.
We were recently acquainted with Jasmine via the Mai Team. Jasmine’s leadership in selling our condo was exceptional. Recently, Jasmine and Denise got us multiple offers over asking in a very tough buyers market. All in less than a month after listing the property. Jasmine is a professional through and through- giving expert advice every step of the way. She is reliable, extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with!

Jasmine Wallington and Denise Mai helped my parents sell their condo in Yale town.
As this was something they haven’t done in over 20 years. They were somewhat new to the property selling game.
After doing 3 interviews with other realtors. We decided to go with Denise Mai group.
From the moment we met them. They made my parents fell welcome and comfortable.
As my parents are in there late 70 ‘s. They treated them like they were their own parents.
They took the time to understand my parents needs and wants.
From the open houses to showings. They did a great job. They both worked hard and it definitely shows.
If you’re looking for a realtor that will push and sell your home. These are the two that will get you want you want.
Honest and professional.
Thank you Jasmine and Denise!

Although, I was unable to work with her team, I have to say that she is an extremely professional and competent realtor. Her presentation of her track record was very well thought out. She was able to present several examples of how she can market my home. She provided very relevant information, so that I was left without needing to ask her too many questions. She is on top of all the technology (such as Virtual Staging) and many other strategies that are needed to sell a property. She has a pleasant personality and is very easy to work with. Therefore, I give her a very high rating. Good luck to those who choose to work with her.
