Craig Doherty LLB Reviews

<p>Thank you so much for selling our house Craig. Your grasp of market conditions, pricing and timing was superb. We really appreciated your professional approach, your excellent time scheduling and your ability to “go the extra mile” in order to accommodate our needs. It also helps that you are a practicing lawyer with a legal degree and experience.</p>

<p>We are delighted to be able to recommend Craig Doherty, realtor, to anyone wishing to sell their home. He was recently successful in selling our house in Lions Bay after a short period on the market at a price very close to what we were asking. From the moment we listed with Craig, we felt we were in good hands. As people who had never sold a house before, he took the time to patiently guide us through the process. He did an excellent job marketing our house, making it look so attractive we almost decided to stay! He was always enthusiastic and positive and after every open house or showing we received an instant report of who attended and their level of interest. We always felt that we were well-informed. When we did receive offers we were very grateful for his excellent negotiating skills and guidance, based on his knowledge and expertise in the market. The end result was a successful sale without the stress and hard work we had envisioned. Thank you Craig. It was a pleasure working with you.</p>

<p>Craig impressed us when we visited his other open houses and again from the moment he walked into our home for the first time. His passion for our house matched ours so we knew he would pass this enthusiasm on to prospective buyers. He works hard to represent his clients and get the best deal possible. Always professional, he provides sound advice on the practical matters of buying and selling property. We enjoyed working with Craig and recommend him to everyone who is looking for a realtor in Lions Bay and West Vancouver. Not only did Craig sell our home but helped us buy the land to build our next one! Thank you Craig!</p>

<p>Thank you Craig! We have sold several houses in Lions Bay over the years, but stayed put so long this time our realtor had retired! A friend recommended you and we are so glad she did. Our listing and sale were handled with professionalism and your advice along the way was appreciated. We also appreciate the extra things you have helped with as a courtesy in your role as notary. Lions Bay is lucky to have you as both a realtor, notary and owner of the store! We wish you every success with your new venture. Thanks again!</p>

<p>Working with Craig was a relaxed yet very professional experience. He is very smart and has hutzpah and presented our property to its best advantage to sell it at the best price. The process of selling one property and purchasing two others was really quite enjoyable due to Craig’s friendliness and excellent communication skills. It was like working with a friend, but one who knows his turf and does his job extremely well.</p>

<p><br /> I enthusiastically recommend the services of Craig Doherty and Sotheby’s International Realty to any wishing to sell their residential real estate. We listed our house with Craig in February with the objective of moving into a new condo purchased for completion in June the same year. The market had been very strong the preceding fall and in February we anticipated receiving a high price. Craig prepared a beautiful video with the assistance of an airborne drone, and immediately commenced what was to become a series of weekly open houses. Following each open house he provided us with a detailed report of interest shown and kept us advised on the ever changing market condition which was not encouraging. Almost immediately after listing, the market began to fall and at Craig’s recommendation we dropped price from 1.6+ million to 1.4+ million. The ultimate purchaser visited our house during the first open house but declined to submit an offer feeling that the property was too expensive for their budget. They returned three months later and presented us with our only offer still significantly below our asking price. Following negotiation we settled on a fair and reasonable price acceptable to both buyer and seller. It is important to note that pricing and sales of all detached real estate properties in the greater Vancouver area had dropped substantially during the listing period, and, with very few exceptions, no sales were taking place. We are very grateful to Craig and the outstanding service provided by him and Sotheby’s which enabled us to complete our transition to our new home smoothly and without duress.</p>
