Craig Doherty LLB Reviews

<p>Craig is an outstanding realtor through and through. He is brilliant on many fronts: the ability to problem-solve, brainstorm creative solutions, and is also very articulate and personable. Always kind, approachable, and patient.<br /> I recommend him highly and without reservation.</p>

<p>For three years we have enjoyed the stunning panoramic views over Howe Sound from our West Vancouver home, but we were moving to Europe on relatively short notice and therefore our house was put up for sale. Several realtors said that they had serious buyers for a property in our neighborhood but Craig was the only one who really seemed interested in matching our need to sell quickly with the buyers' wish to buy a house that would suit them. He explained the realities of the West Vancouver property market at the time and we worked out a pragmatic approach to price our house to sell. The rest is history because Craig had the right contacts with potential buyers and other realtors to generate interest in our house. Within 10 days after listing, our place was under contract at a price that the buyers and we are satisfied with. We are now looking forward to closing and should we ever return to Vancouver, Craig will be the man we contact first.</p>

<p>We have been lucky to be a part of the Seascapes development since the beginning of Phase 1, and still are owners at Seascapes. We watched our places being built and each of the 4 phases unfold to completion. Seascapes has become a true gem in West Vancouver: private yet accessible, fantastic designs; and then there are the views! Over the years, we have had enough experience with realtors and agents to know how important they are in a successful real estate transaction. We were already aware of a number of agents in the greater Vancouver area and were introduced to a few “newcomers” to the Seascapes area via mailings we received. After considerable research, we chose to proceed by interviewing a short list of top-rated agents, including one who was new to us: Craig Doherty. We interviewed all of the agents much like we were hiring an employee for one of our businesses. We ended up with two who rose to the top of the list of criteria we were using. What made us choose Craig was his determination to succeed ethically in whatever he did in life, and how he presented and handled himself under pressure. Craig made it clear that he did not promise or commit to anything unless he was willing to actually do it. We have dealt with many agents who make the commitments to get the listing, then don’t do the follow through to sell the listing. Craig approached this head on and said that is not how he worked, period. Craig's background in law and his success in business gave us the confidence to take him at his word and trust him; and we weren’t disappointed. It was a refreshing experience working with Craig throughout all phases from the listing to the closing. Craig was eager to learn from us about the intricacies of this development that we love, and repeatedly demonstrated his ability to translate that knowledge and sincerity at numerous open houses and interactions with interested parties. However, where his unique background and skill-set really shone was at the offer stage; his negotiation skills are really quite remarkable. However, you’ll have to engage him to see what we mean: but it will be the best real estate choice you may ever make. We’re happy that we did.</p>

<p>Conrad and I have been very pleased that we chose you to sell our home. We know we could not have done better. There is much to be said for appearances, intelligence, and personality and on meeting you we immediately felt at ease.  Entrusting someone with the sale of your home is no small matter, but we knew of your track record here at Seascapes from other residents who had most successfully used your services, and this added greatly to our confidence. We value your efforts and guidance on achieving an excellent but fair price for our home and would recommend you to others without hesitation.</p>

<p>I first listed my property with another agent and was not satisfied by the service, lack of reporting, or results. At termination of the agent's agreement, I sought an agent that would provide clarity and appreciate the uniqueness of my property. I have been totally happy working with Craig since he listed the property. He always kept me updated on progress, worked every prospect thoroughly, and provided sound market advice. Craig and his team devised a marketing plan that attracted serious buyers, he worked exhaustively over the holiday period and always happy to go out of his way to attend to extra demands. I have no hesitation in recommending Craig to prospective clients.</p>
