Lex is the best real estate agent that I have ever met.He is very professional, patient and…read moreresponsible, and he's done a great effort to assist us buying new home and solving all problems. About two months ago, my family was in a transition period,our problem was that we just sold the house, and eager to buy a new house. But we felt it is difficult to buy a house as it was so-called seller's market, we often heard of things like buyers have to raise much more over asking price in order to make a deal. By chance, we met Lex, he started to help us with listings of our interested areas and acceptable price range and patiently make appointments for us. even when the seller didn't want to provide us a individual showing, he kept trying for us . He detailedly analyzed and explained the advantages and disadvantages of each house, and no matter how late he would answer the phone when we have questions and new ideas. During the whole process , Lex never gave us pressure to make a decision , unlike some other realtors who push clients for a quick deal. Eventually with his professional negotiating skills, we purchased a house below asking price , which is surprising because it's a brand new home in Riverdale Richmond . We are very satisfied with the deal ,elegant design ,large lot and perfect price . During pre- and walk-through days,Lex accompanied us to the house，tag and write down all problems and minor damages which he require the builder to fix.Now, one month after the possession day, Lex is still helping us to follow up when we find new problem. Also, he is always there for our benefits ,such as with regard to warranty, he suggested us that the home inspection is not necessary for brand new house, we should do it 1-2months before each warranty period expires. so we can save money and actually find real problems,then we get warranty, this is how home inspection and warranty work. I really appreciate the way Lex work and he is definitely different from other realtors . I'd strongly recommend Lex as a reliable realtor for your real estate sale and purchase. Lex是我遇过最棒的Realtor。他很专业、非常有耐心而且负责任，在我们购房的过程中给予极大的帮助。大概2个月前，我们家当时正处在一个过渡期，我们的问题是：旧房子成交了，急于要买新房子。可这时正是所谓的卖家市场，房子很难买，Richmond房价飙升，经常听人说要加价抢offer的事情。机缘巧合，通过Zolo我们找了Lex，他整理所有我们感兴趣的区域和能接受的价位的房子，逐个帮我们预约，即使当卖家不愿意单独给我们showing，他也极力为我们争取。他耐心地分析每个房子的优势和不足，而且无论多晚都会接听我们电话。直到我们选中了合适的房子下了offer，lex以他专业的谈判技巧与卖家沟通周旋，努力地帮我们争取利益，也令我们在考虑的期间毫无压力。Lex不愧是持牌的谈判专家。最终以低于叫价把房子拿下，这很不容易，尤其我们买的是新房子。可以说无论是价钱还是各方面，我们都很满意。更难得的是，Lex服务周到，并没有因为买卖的完成而停止，我觉得这也是Lex与其他经纪最大的不同，有的经纪一交易完就态度没那么热情了。在交房之前我们有2次walk-through机会，他陪同我们把房子里里外外的瑕疵都记录下并要求卖方修补，直到今天交房已经1个月了，lex仍然在帮我们follow-up。 并且，他时刻都考虑着我们利益，帮我们省钱 ，比如关于warranty，他建议我们新房子不用请验房师，应该等到warranty 期满之前验房，这样既省了钱，也可以真正验出房子的问题从而去保修，这才体现出验房和保修的意义。这绝对不是每一个realtor都能做到的。买卖房子是一件重大的事情，选择Lex这样的可靠的地产经纪，是绝对不会错的。

He is a…read moreprofessional stand up guy with an abundance of experience in the field of buying and selling real estate. He ensured that we had little to worry about when it came to legal matters and negotiating terms with the other real estate agent. He also went above and beyond to reach an agreement with the other party for further home improvements and made sure it was done exactly to our standards. It truly felt like we had someone on our side instead of your typical real estate agent who just wants to get the job done. I would highly recommend Lex to anyone looking to purchase a home in greater Vancouver as he is the go to guy to ensure the utmost satisfaction for you and your family.

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.

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."

Not truthful to us, played (offer leverage) games and was unethical as our representative for a house purchase. He confirmed that our offer was accepted by the seller via text after we outbid another buyer then he stated that he was getting the paperwork signed by the sellers which he would email to me to give to my broker, then approx 5 hours later at night, sent a text, (yes a text) stating that there was another offer that came in and the sellers went with that. There was no call to us during the 5 hour wait to update us on what was happening or anything for that matter, then he had the audacity to tell us that "in his opinion" the house price was too high and that we should buy somewhere else. I would highly caution anyone from dealing with this group based on personal experience.

I was really happy with how he handled the sale of my home, that I decided to go with him for purchasing my next home as well. David is not only an expert as a seller's agent, but he's is also amazing as a Buyer's agent as well. He's organized, tentative, very strategic, pays close attention to detail and most importantly, he listens! I would highly recommend David to anyone. He gets the job done well and fast and with your wants and needs as priority over how much money he will make off the sale. That being said, you do pay for quality service, and I guarantee you won't regret it. His team did an amazing job staging my home, taking photos of it and marketing it. My initial realtor was terrible and had my home on the market for 3 months, with only one low-ball offer, which he told me was the best offer I would ever get and that I was asking for too much for my unit. When I switched to David, people were wanting to make offers before the home was even listed, and in the end, we received multiple offers way above the asking price. I was really impressed with how well David executed the whole process - both for the sale and purchase of my homes. I will definitely use them again in the sale and/or purchase of my next property and I recommend you do too!
