"Lorne was recommended to us by our trusted friend and realty team in Saskatoon. From the first conversation, we could tell that Lorne was well-connected locally, detail-oriented, and very knowledgeable about about home construction & repair costs; but most importantly, he genuinely cared about what we wanted/needed in a home and did everything in his power to make it happen, while still ensuring we were making a solid investment for the future.

We were moving from Coquitlam without knowing anything about the island and just knew that we needed to be within an hour’s drive of Victoria. We had a wish list and only a few short days to look and with only that to go on, in a very hot and very fast-moving market, Lorne lined up some incredible picks for us – making sure we made the most of our short house hunting visits to the island.

He was on-time, organized, prepared, and always quick to point out what repairs/costs might need to be done, what the commute would be like, and what the future might hold for each neighbourhood, including resale values based on historical data and his knowledge of the market. He saved us from making a purchase that would have cost a fortune in repairs and found us the most incredible home in Sooke that checked all of our boxes and more. He had even gotten into the house before us on the possession date to do a thorough inspection and ensure the sellers left it in top condition for us.

He is great company, a killer negotiator, and a very savvy businessman but more than anything, Lorne truly cares that you are happy with your purchase. No pressure, no expectation, and no bullshit; just genuine customer service.

What more can we say but: HIRE THIS MAN! It will be one of the smartest decisions you’ve ever made."  

Thanks again for everything Lorne – can’t wait to see you again soon!

Best,
