Mike Van Straaten, Realtor

Mike was wonderful to work with! He understood exactly what we were looking for right from the very beginning. He went out of his way to make sure our dream home met all of our needs. We look forward to using him in the future for all of our sales and purchases and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Mike was the most patient, thorough realtor. As a first time home buyer, there were quite a few ups and downs (expected and unexpected) but he kept me on track and helped me through every step in the home buying process. I couldn't have done it without him! He knew what I wanted and didn't stop until we found the right one. From the countless revisits, finding a very detailed home inspector and getting answers to every question I had, Mike did it all. 10/10 professionalism, knowledgeable and available at all times. Would recommend him to anyone looking to buy and or sell their homes. THANKS MIKE!

As a first time home buyer, Mike was a pleasure to work with! We were unfamiliar with the process and the area we were interested in buying in. Mike was very approachable and answered any questions we had immediately. Mike put us at ease throughout the process and we did not feel any pressure. We would highly recommend working with Mike whether you’re buying or selling!

Mike Van Straaten is easy to work with! He is absolutely trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable. We are NOT first time home buyers and have had much experience with realtors in the past. What a difference it was working with Mike! Mike always responded in a timely manner to our questions and needs and made the stressful process of buying and selling a house seamless. He was more than patient, a good communicator and a great listener. Mike listed our house and had great ideas and suggestions on how best to show it. His clever marketing skills generated a parade of showings quickly and resulted in us receiving multiple offers. We could not be happier! But it didn’t end there, we had to find a new house. We had very specific floor plan requirements and Mike understood this was going to be a challenge. He never once complained about showing us over 50 houses until we finally found the “perfect house.” Mike was always positive, encouraging and never pressured us. He wanted us to be happy with the final solution. All this was happening during an extremely competitive seller’s market, yet Mike was able to secure us a new home through his exceptional negotiating skills. We highly recommend Mike and will continue to use him in all our future real estate ventures.

Mike is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. As a first-time property buyer and foreigner to Canada, I was thrilled to work with someone who understands the market and delivers an A+ experience.

As first time homebuyers, Mike was so helpful. Very patient, honest and communicative. He really listened and understood what we were looking for. We really appreciate all his help! Would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking an agent in South Delta especially.

Mike has been my go to guy for residential and commercial. Is a complete professional from A-Z. Super responsive & has a great way with people.

Mike was great to work with. A friend recommended Mike to my family and we could not have been happier. We were new to the area and unfamiliar to the buying process. He took the time to really help us to understand what was needed to close on our home. He was there whenever we had a question and was always quick to get us the right answer if he didn't know. We would highly recommend Mike! We plan on using him again.

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with! We were extremely pleased with all aspects of the process. He was easy to work with, responsive in a timely manner and always organized. As first time home buyers, we had many questions and Mike had all the answers. He had great recommendations and set us up with a reputable mortgage broker as well as a thorough and knowledgeable home inspection company. We would highly recommend Mike and look forward to using him again in the future!

Mike is an amazing agent. Kind. Caring. Calm. Patient. Helpful. And so knowledgeable! He helped me understand the assets and pitfalls of the property and the community. He educated me throughout the process and brought clarity to my millions of questions. I was extremely pleased with my sell, purchase and the entire transaction of both. Mike was also helpful in locating tradesmen and resources in the area which made the after sale process even more seamless. He went above and beyond to support me and I felt very safe and cared for throughout. From negotiating the offer on my sell, to the purchase of my new home - it was flawless. He TRULY cared about my experience and my life circumstances. Mike even worked late (really late!) so that he would be with me to sign the papers when an offer came in on my home. If you want a quick sale, or someone to spend the time really getting to know you and what you're looking for, use Mike Van Straaten!
