Ian and Carly helped my sisters and I sell our parent's long time home of over 50 years. We ran into several huge obstacles along the way which Ian gracefully helped us navigate. He was a calm, resourceful, and steady source of support for us through the whole process. They went above and beyond my expectations.

I have had the pleasure of using Ian and his colleague Anja Rhomberg for the selling of my home of many years, and the purchase of a new one. Ian and his team helped me prepare my home for listing and showing, and he arranged for professional video and photos to market it - the home sold very quickly in what is said to be a challenging market. Ian was always ready to answer my many questions and provide support throughout what could have been a very stressful process. Ian and his team have done a professional and successful job.

Rude, rude rude. I am calling to asking for one of his listing, first he asked whether I am a realtor, after I said no, he asked I quote " what do you want from me? all the information are on the website". So I guess anyone who wants to list property with Ian, think twice, because he has already done all the work by putting on the listing for you, and won't want to do anything further to promote a sale. Will also send complaints to Realtor board. Completely unprofessional and rude

Our experience with Ian Thompson was outstanding! He was incredibly efficient, selling my mom's house quickly and smoothly. Not only did he handle the sale with expertise, he also connected us with fantastic companies for staging, decluttering, packing, moving, and exit cleaning. Every recommendation was spot- on making the entire downsizing process much less stressful. We could not be happier with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home and particularly those who are downsizing.

We just had the pleasure of working with Carly Gibson on the purchase of our first home, and let us tell you, she's a real estate wizard! From the moment I walked into her office, she had a knack for understanding exactly what we were looking for in a property. Her professionalism and patience were unmatched. She navigated us through the labyrinth of paperwork with a gentle touch and a sense of humor that made the whole process feel like a walk in the park. There was never a time where we didn't feel that Carly was working hard behind the scenes to make our dream of a home a reality. Her responsiveness was next-level, answering our calls and emails promptly even during off-hours, which was nothing short of a godsend in the fast-paced world of real estate. Carly's knowledge of the market was as vast as the properties she showed us. She had a keen eye for detail, pointing out both the good and the bad in every home, ensuring we were fully informed before making any decisions. Overall, working with Carly Gibson was a five-star experience that exceeded our expectations. She managed to balance her professionalism with a genuine warmth that made us feel like we weren't just another transaction but rather a part of her team. Her negotiation skills were top-notch, securing us a deal that we thought was out of reach. The way she handled the final inspection and closing process was nothing short of masterful.

When my sister was ready to sell her house we asked my brother-in-law who he would recommend. He had dealt with Ian before and said he really good so that is who we contacted. I have dealt with several realtor's in the past and I must say Ian is by far the best. He is a real professional - not just a salesman - giving us good advice and explaining everything throughout the entire process. My sister got the price she wanted and the property was on the market for only five days. I can whole heartily recommend Ian if you want a great realtor.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ian and feel very fortunate to have worked with him for both a home sale and new purchase. From the first day the house went on the market there was great interest. Thanks in large part to Ian’s incredible work. Ian brought in a fabulous photographer and videographer and created a personal video to showcase our home online as well as he hosted an open house. Ian was wonderful in keeping the transactions moving along and getting to closing in a timely manner and always available to answer questions (of which were many). If the time ever comes that I am looking for a new home, looking to sell or provide a referral there is no question on who that realtor will be! Thank you so very much!

I would like to thank Ian for his help and support in the sale of my home. It was a very difficult decision to sell my home but Ian was supportive and the process was quick and smooth. If you are looking to sell or buy, I highly recommend Ian! Thanks Ian for helping me in the first step towards my move to Australia.

Ian was an immense help with selling my long time home including referring me to the perfect people like Shawn from Junk in our trunk. He took the time making sure I was able to get what I wanted in a condo. Ian has great experience with down sizing from house to condo. He has a vast knowledge of the Nanaimo area. I would highly recommend Ian for buying any home or property in the Mid Island area
