Jim gets 5 stars with me only because the system does not allow 100 stars.  This is part of the text my wife and I wrote for him in a formal letter after he worked for three years with us patiently looking for our ideal home in Vancouver: Dear Jim: What can we say...  You have automatically become one of the most important figures in the history of the Varhola-Moreno family.  The reason why we got the palace of our dreams in Jim Pilkington, and this goes beyond your realtor genius in developing a strategy and crafting an offer within 48 hours.  Your legacy is much greater in time and space.  You have patiently and optimistically listened to us for all these years, and you introduced us to ALL the other key personalities that made this possible.  Everybody in the real estate world in the North Shore knows you, and we have always been proud to say that you are ours. We have never met someone so professional, honest, patient, hardworking, ethical and warm.  You have looked after our interests 100%, putting our financial well-being and our kids' future first.  We wish to extend our gratitude to your own family, recalling those Sunday nights we stole time from them so you could talk to us about potential purchases. We will never forget your own excitement the moment our offer was accepted.  We felt how our dream was your dream too.  While there is no doubt that the amount of work you put into our home project should grant you a 50% commission, which is sadly out of our scope, for now we can offer you an unbreakable partnership in all future real estate adventures.  However, above all, please accept our unconditional friendship.  Echoing how this letter began, please never forget that you are one of the most important figures in the history of the Varhola-Moreno family.

My family received Jim's name through a referral (which says a lot to begin with) and we weren't the least bit disappointed. From the very beginning, Jim put our minds at ease and talked us through the entire process. When needed, he was very frank with us, but through that, built no unrealistic expectations and hence, we were able to successfully close on the sale which saw a win-win scenario for everyone involved. He was helpful every step of the way, including the move to our new home, and with the final bits of the exchange of keys. He was professional in handling our queries and as stated earlier, putting our minds at ease. Without a shadow of a doubt, we will be recommending Jim to our friends and family that may require his services. One thing is for sure, should we need this sort of service again, Jim will be our first (and hopefully only) call!

My mom passed away suddenly in Nov. 2019 and we had to deal with clearing and selling my family home in North Vancouver. Living at a distance (in Victoria, on Vancouver Island), we absolutely needed to work with a trustworthy realtor and thank our lucky stars that we found Jim Pilkington. Jim helped us in every way; by finding people to help us improve the house, to marketing and selling the house. He knew the exact right price point to make the sale happen fairly and in good time. Jim comes with my very highest recommendation. He was at all times professional and understanding of our unique circumstances, having to travel by car and ferry every time we came over to North Van. He responded to all my emails right away. He even monitored the home for us while it was vacant and helped pay for the move! I especially appreciated his very positive manner. He inspires confidence. I have the utmost respect for Jim as both a realtor and as a terrific person. If you need a real estate agent, look no further than Jim Pilkington!

We met Jim through lynnvalleyhomes website. We really liked his website because of its clean design and functionality. When we got more serious about selling our condo we met with Jim in person. Instantly, his professionalism and knowledge of the market impressed us. We began working with Jim on the sale and then later used him for the purchase of our new place as well. Buying or selling your home can be a very stressful time, but because of Jim, we were quite relaxed. He was truly a God-sent!

I own a home staging company called Ready Set Show Staging, and have had the opportunity to work with many realtors on the North Shore and the Lower Mainland ... We have been staging for Jim Pilkington since the beginning of this year and consider ourselves lucky. Jim is one of the hardest working, professional, caring realtors I have had the pleasure of working with. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients. For buying or selling a home, I highly recommend Jim because I know you will be well taken care of..

We contacted Jim looking for more information on a home for sale in the Lynn Valley, North Vancouver area. He was quick to respond and extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area. At the same time he was not pushy or aggressive, which we really appreciate in a realtor. He helped educate us on certain aspects of the area and we were able to make a much more informed decision based on his help. Thanks Jim!
