Helped Carolyn to buy a condo in Vancouver in 2025.
Mike made my experience as a first-time home buyer so smooth and stress free. He was incredibly patient with all of my questions and he took the time to get to know me and understand what I was looking for. He walked me through every part of the process beyond just the home purchase; finding a notary, a home inspector, movers, etc. I never felt any pressure to make a decision quickly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a realtor, especially first-time buyers.

I highly recommend Mike as a realtor! He seamlessly transitioned my family from a house into a townhouse last year. Through every step of the way he was professional, knowledgeable about real estate in general, as well as giving personalized advice about the local area.

Listed and Sold a condo in North Vancouver for Rob Thompson and Meaghan Dougherty in 2025.
Mike helped us naviagte the tumultuous Vancouver real estate market of 2025 when selling our condo. We had many questions and had to pivot on our plan a couple of times and Mike was there with data, insight and support through the whole process. From the listing, to staging, to all of the communication, to the little details like taking care of the cleaning upon closing was huge for us. I have recommended Mike a number of times and hands down will continue to do so. You are in very capable hands when working with Mike!

Mike helped us get our dream home!
When my husband and I decided to purchase a home, we intended to interview three Realtors.
Mike was our second interview and we canceled the third. He had everything we wanted. He listened to our list of requirements and hopes, he was knowledgeable of the real estate in the area, and he had expertise on the buying process. Mike made himself available to answer our questions and set up viewings for properties. He encouraged us to find exactly what we wanted and helped us to negotiate a fair price. He is the type of Realtor committed to getting you into your dream home. I highly recommend him.

Mike helped my family sell our home of 20 years. He was very thorough, professional, supportive and worked well with us. With all the stresses that comes with selling a home, Mike has this calming presence, and he answered all our questions in an expeditious manner.
If you are looking for a trusted, professional and friendly realtor, we recommend Mike 100%.
PS - I thought I needed to share that we sold our house in under a week (the first viewing, the buyer purchased our home). Isnt this wonderful? I dont think we could have accomplished this without Mike's assistance from start to finish.

We worked with Mike on two occasions as both buyers in sellers. In both cases we found Mike to be professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy. He is up to date on the state of the market, and took the time to get to know what our goals were. He exceeded our expectations, and I'd happily recommend Mike to anyone.

Mike is guided by a strong entrepreneurial spirit and innate tenacity that drives him to cover all the angles. He has always been ambitious, thoughtful and hardworking but in the past 10 years he has really upped his game by building strong networks and relationships by thinking beyond the customer and into the community. This is the fundamental difference between a good and a great real estate agent.
