Not only did he manage to sell my condo unit more than the recent units that had sold but he created a seamless process which required minimal work on my end.

I was actually about to settle for something in a neighbouring city however, David remained very optimistic! And sure enough, his persistence and expertise paid off! He always answered all of my questions promptly and professionally. When one unit didn't pan out, he would quickly jump on to the next one seamlessly- and there were many! I am so happy with the property that I ended up with and would recommend David and his team 100%. Thank you!

I'm honestly quite surprised at the number of negative reviews written about Dorset Realty and I…read morehave a feeling that the majority of the reviews were written by people who experienced the rare mess-up that may or may have not occurred. Dorset manages hundreds of properties with thousands of tenants, so I'm sure that there are a lot more satisfied tenants than dissatisfied ones. People simply don't write positive reviews on professional services such as these because there is no need to when you have no complaints! Anyways, I just felt like writing this review because I saw the company pop up while scrolling through Yelp and I wanted to say that the property manager who manages my townhouse is great and very friendly. It's very easy to contact them and I want to emphasize the fact that if you want an answer right away and cannot wait for an email reply, just pick up your phone and give them a call! Leaving a message isn't the end of the world.

I would give them zero if I could. This company is very unprofessional in all aspects of dealing…read morewith tenants in residential buildings in that they never get back to you, are snarky when they do, and imply you are expecting too much for your rental payment. The tenants are taking care of the building inside and out as there is no interest in doing so and no response when garbage is strewn all over the alley. So, the tenants take care of the mess. Light bulbs are burned out in hallways for months, washers are 30+ years old and don't work with no intent of replacement, general cleaning of the common areas is done once a month, if that, IF anything breaks or is damaged, the manager doesn't show up but asks the tenants to let the service people in the building or to give them the code for the keys from the lock box - never mind showing up to be in your suite or in the building while there is someone in your suite. In the first year of managing our building, numerous cheques were lost with no explanation as to what happened or why they disappeared. I'm not exactly sure what the owner is paying them for because really, they do nothing and when you try to talk to someone, they are very abusive and confrontational. My deepest sympathies to anyone who has Dorset for your building management.

My situation easily could have been put into one of those commercials and Elliot would be the hero realtor in the commercial that saved the day. The time finally came where I was ready to spend my hard earned savings on a home of my own. I started looking at places online but had no idea where to begin. That's where Elliot came in. As soon as I told him what I was looking for, and in what area, he began sending me listings in my price range. I couldn't believe it: of the first three listings he sent me, I knew I found my dream home. It was love at first sight. Elliot immediately booked a viewing for me and my fiancé. He booked us viewings for all the other listings we were interested in too. So the search began. After going to all these viewings, I still had my heart set on the one I fell in love with. It was time to put in an offer. We told Elliot how low we wanted to go and he respected our wishes. When the seller countered, we came back with another low offer. Elliot listened to our requests to still go lower. He let us know of the risks of going too low (that we could lose the place) but still countered, giving the seller reasons to take our lower offer. His persistence paid off and the seller agreed! Our experience wasn't over then though. We had issues with strata fees that were supposed to be included in the cost, mailbox keys that had gone missing, property taxes, etc. Elliot stood by us the whole time. He was quick to answer our texts, calls and emails no matter the time of day. He worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly, despite a lot of our issues not being part of his job. As stressful as our closing was, Elliot was always there for us and made sure that we were happy. Even after the closing, Elliot has still been there to answer further questions we've had. Thank you Elliot for helping us find our first home and for getting us through all of the hiccups. We couldn't be happier now and won't hesitate to have Elliot help us again when we're ready to upgrade.

Here is an email I wrote to this company regarding overgrown hedges on a property which Magsen…read moremanages : "This email is written with regard to the eastern border of Strata NWS3135, otherwise known as Capella Garden, in Richmond. This border has hedges that have become overgrown, and now trespass onto neighbouring private property situated at XXXX Patterson Road. These hedges require your immediate attention. After your visual inspection, you will see that the distance of the trespass exceeds ten feet in one location. At another location, the hedge is pushing the privacy fence directly against a garden shed located on the neighbouring private property. I respectfully ask that you remedy all of the offending hedges at your earliest opportunity. Please respond with your intended plan of action." Here is their response : "Further to your email dated June 2, 2014 we conducted a visual inspection on site with a strata council member on June 6, 2014 and consulted with Building Approvals Division of City of Richmond. The City determined that there is currently no bylaw guiding tree trimming across property lines and confirmed that you can trim any part of the trees on your side of the property line. This is subject to you hiring a licensed tree maintenance contractor to perform the work. No cutting of any tree is allowed. Council has accordingly approved the tree trimming at your at your own expense." As you can plainly read, they are telling me to take responsibility for trees clearly not owned by me. According to Magsen, it is also my responsibility to pay a licensed contractor to do the trimming. The most disturbing part of their response is the way they have conveniently implicated the City of Richmond. As this is clearly a civil matter between Magsen, and myself, the City of Richmond has no jurisdiction. When I asked Magsen to provide the name of the officer at City Hall, Magsen refuses to co-operate, and provide a name. Where is the professionalism. Where is the integrity. Where is the honesty. If this is how they treat a neighbour, dare to imagine how they treat the residents that pay the maintenance fees to this company.
