In 2022, my wife and I wanted to move back to Canada, so we contacted Mike for help. However, we have put the whole thing off due to some complications and stopped messaging Mike. At the end of 2023, my wife and I re-engaged with Mike again; he was super helpful and even remembered us. Immediately springing into action, he opened a WhatsApp chat group with us where he answered all of our questions, no matter how important or seemingly silly (and we had a lot of questions). Our situation was a bit different than that of most people. Not only did we purchase overseas, but we had to make some changes down the road, cutting it close to the closing date. But Mike was there to help us through the ordeal; I felt he fought in our corner. Now, fast forward to Jan 2024. My wife and I are proud new homeowners, and it's because of Mike's support. During the process, Mike was consistently honest and truthful with his answers and never pushed us into buying something we didn't want to. He even cared enough to have long conversations with my mom when she had many questions regarding our new purchases. I highly recommend Mike as a realtor, and through this home-buying process, we also gained a friend. Thank you Mike From, The Ferreira's

I had the pleasure of working with Mike to sell my condo, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. Initially discovered through his informative YouTube channel for property management assistance, we ended up appointing Mike to handle our sale, a decision that proved to be perfect, especially given that we live out of town. Mike impressed me with his prompt communication, always keeping me in the loop. When faced with multiple offers, he provided a unique guide, expertly navigating the situation without pressuring decisions. His willingness to go back to the table ensured we secured the best possible price for our property, demonstrating his commitment to prioritizing our best interests. Moreover, the professional marketing materials, both online and in print, crafted by Mike’s team were visually captivating. The high-quality pictures highlighted the unique features of my property, making it stand out in the market. Additionally, Mike exhibited exceptional follow-through until the transaction was officially completed, ensuring a seamless transition of ownership. I wholeheartedly recommend him if you need someone to assist with your real estate needs.

Razor sharp, strategic and delivers... In all aspects, Mike rose above my expectations. He was able to sell my home, well over asking price, and he did so in a shockingly short number of days. I would 100% have him sell my home again. He thinks outside the box in a clever way that achieves results you might not have realized were possible. Thanks Mike!

The first time I saw Mike was on his YouTube channel while my husband and I were starting to do some research on properties in Vancouver to get ourselves ready to move back from Hong Kong. Our first impression on Mike was very knowledgeable on the market so we decided to approach him. Throughout the whole buying process, Mike was extremely patience, detailed, professional, and most importantly responsive! He even took the time to have a zoom meeting with us to discuss our needs in the beginning. Recently, our new home in Vancouver West was ready for Walkthrough. Since we are located in Hong Kong, Mike assisted us with the process and I’m pretty sure I would not have been as detailed as him if I were to check the condo myself! Mike took a very detailed video of the Walkthrough showing me every single defect found, and I really appreciate it! I’m sure I will have more good things to write about Mike after the completion date!

When we started looking for our new home last year, we noticed the market was crazy hot! We need an agent who is responsive and considerate. We reached out to Mike after watching his youtube chancel. Turns out he has delivered more than what we expected. Mike is especially sharp at price negotiations and bidding strategies. We have learnt a lot from Mike. We used Mike’s services on both buying and selling transactions and we are very happy with his works.

Mike is a very responsive and trustworthy person. With his fast response and systematic approach he helped me to bid the house for a reasonable price . He also helped me to do the house inspection as well as all the aftermath such as introduction of mortgage arrangement, notary and house insurance. It makes my life much easier for a newcomer like me. I will highly recommend Mike to my friends who are looking for a professional and trustable estate agent.
