Brad Maclaren

I am a US resident and worked with Brad to sell a Canadian property that I had owned jointly with my sister in Saanichton, BC. Brad knows the local real estate market extremely well and he did a truly fantastic job in handling this sale. Our property was so well advertised that, by the end of the first open house, we had multiple offers, 7 of which were above asking price. Eventually we sold our property for significantly more than the asking price.Brad was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. He was always available to answer questions and we felt reassured at every step. I appreciate his strategic advice, his smooth handling of negotiations, and his openness and responsiveness on all matters, especially given the fact that I am based abroad and I had to work with him remotely by videoconferencing throughout the process. We recommend him highly and without reservations. We have been truly super-impressed by his work and professionalism!

We had a narrow window of opportunity in which to sell our home enabling us to relocate to another province. Brad sold our home in a very short time with a minimum of stress. We found him to be very knowledgeable in the local market with a confident yet calm and friendly demeanor.We would highly recommend Brad to friends and family!

In on Tuesday, out the following Tuesday ... quick, smooth and professional start to finish. Provided key advice on price and approach that led to extremely positive outcome on the sale of our home!!

Selling a home can be a nerve-wracking experience; but Brad was personable, experienced, and patient. We really appreciated Brad's knowledge of the market, as well as his great sense of humour. Highly recommend Brad for making home buying a successful endeavour.

One of my deepest New Year’s gratitudes goes to our realtor, Brad MacLaren (Mac 007). As a highly undecided, prospective buyer, I told Brad that if he found a really special home, we’d be interested. I emphasized that it had to be unique. Then, I closed on a more hopeful note saying, “If we really like it, we’ll buy it.” Bought it we did.Having been a realtor in Vancouver, I notice the pros and cons of realtors. Brad gave us nothing but pros. Once you’re in negotiation and dealing with layered documentation involved in a BC RE transaction, one has to be on the ball for a successful outcome, especially during a C-19 stoked RE market. Alternatively, in a calmer market, it really helps to lean on a realtor’s past experience. If you’re looking for a really professional, dynamic, and highly seasoned realtor, you must consider Brad.Here’s a laundry list of what Brad did really well for us, while always in good humour:- always punctual, well dressed, prepared;- listening to our input more than speaking, he focussed on only relevant facts;- lightning fast responses to communications;- an inside track to homes about to come to market;- willingness to approach owners re: exploration of readiness to market;- very thorough and patient w/ clients re: signing contracts (eg. listing contract);- gifted us a staging consultation, which prompted me to pre-pack much more (invaluable); and,- offered a referral network for closing matters (eg. conveyance lawyer, notary).The list goes on and on. In addition to Brad’s educated intelligence and interpersonal skills, passion fuels his outstanding performance record. It’s always refreshing to work with someone like Brad who has authentic confidence, which allows him to frame outcomes with realism and optimism. Having been deep in the trenches to work with Brad in preparation for our listing, I had the hunch that we’d sell to the first buyer. And … we did! After so much effort working together with many moving parts, success felt amazing.It truly pays to believe in and align with your realtor, even during market lulls. Although Brad is always on his client’s team, he makes it easy to be on his team to get the job done. Thx, Brad!

I have known Brad for many years. My son chose Brad to help him find his first home and I was pleased because I respect Brad's honesty and integrity. I also knew that buying an entry - level condo in this market is tough especially when you are new to the game. Brad managed the whole experience brilliantly. His experience, knowledge and instincts were needed and called upon. What impressed me most was Brad's ability to communicate so naturally with the younger generation. He walked us threw every aspect putting our minds at ease. He answered every question as if we were his only and most important clients. Thank you Brad. I would recommend you to anyone.

I cannot begin to thank Brad Maclaren enough for his assistance with my first home purchase. He was very patient with me and my specific needs, and I appreciated his honesty when viewing different listings. With Brad, it's not about the sale. His goal is making sure this big investment is the right one for you. He always made me feel like his most important client. Thanks Brad, for the time and effort you put into me last year.

A few years back we were going to interview three realtors when selling our house. Brad was the first and we felt so comfortable and confident with him that we knew we need not look any further. Brad did a fantastic job for us and we would recommend him without hesitation. He is just an all around great person Thank you Brad. Sheila and Barry.

I met Brad through a very satisfied mutual client and got to know him better as his guest at the Westshore BNI. Immediately, I could tell he was an engaging and energetic person, as well as a top quality Realtor. Brad really knows his industry, and works hard to help his clients with their buying and selling needs. We have since worked together on two projects that have resulted in happy clients. Brad's approach is hands-on, and custom to your unique situation and needs. The fact that he takes the time to help clients sell their homes for top-dollar speaks volumes to how much he truly cares. When it comes to this type of investment, you want Mr. Real Estate on your team!
