Brian MacDougall PERSONAL REAL ESTATE CORPORATION Reviews

<p>Working with Brian was an easy decision as I had a very positive experience with him in the past. Bringing Brian, along with Stephen on-board for the recent sale of our home proved to be another great decision. Most notable about this team was their ability to always--and we do mean always--conduct their business in a client-centred fashion. Indeed, the conversation has always been about our goals and what they can do to help achieve them. Brian and Stephen have unique skillsets that not all realtors possess: the ability to be genuinely personable and yet extremely professional; they consistently presented us with key facts every step of the way, especially when we felt 'emotional' in our decision-making. They were calm, measured and thus helped us to make well-informed decisions that resulted in a sale that made us happy. Thank you Brian and Stephen for everything. We simply cannot thank you enough!</p>

Brian went above and beyond helping us with the sale of our home and purchase of our condo in 2016, and again with the sale of our condo in 2019. He gave us all of the advice we required, always responded to our many inquiries, and with his calm manner, was able to make us feel 100% confident that he could get the job(s) done for us as quickly and professionally as possible. We love dealing with Brian, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

We came to Brian via a recommendation from our friends but no idea what to expect when we first contacted him as we had no knowledge of the Canadian housing market and had not spoken to any other realtors in the Vancouver area. Brian immediately made us feel comfortable and safe with both his friendliness and knowledge not only of the housing market but also of the house purchase process, and gave us a step by step guide of what we could expect through this process. Brian was able to help us articluate what we were looking for in a house, what areas we were interested in living in and what our budget was so he could search for suitable properties, and over a very short period of time was able to show us properties meeting our needs and then tune his search for properties based on our feedback on what worked and did not work for us from the property viewing he had organised for us. Within a month Brian had found our ideal home for us that matched not only most of our housing ammenity needs but was also in the location we wanted (but did not think we could afford) and gave us great value for our square footage! Not an easy task when you are trying to find a reasonable priced and sized home for a family of four in Kitsilano! Brian was outstanding through our bid process and was in communication with us almost hourly every step of the way! No time was too late or too early for him to be talking to us and the seller's realtor to submit offers and negotiate counter offers, offering freindly advice to us on how to respond based on his experience in the market as well as his professional relationships with most of the local realtors in the Vancouver area. Brian was also able to offer us advice (at our request) on who to speak to regarding mortgage and insurance options, housing inspections and appraisals as well as legal services which made this normally very stressful process much more managable and easy. They say that moving house is one of the top three most stressful things you can do in your life but with Brian's help and guidance through this process we are genuinely excited to be moving into the home of our dreams! Thank you so much to you and Stephen for everything you have done for us. Jason, Alison, Jude and Sarah

<p>This is the second time I have worked with Brian. The reason I decided to work with Brian again is simply because on the first occasion I was extremely pleased with his professionalism and support throughout the complete process of the purchase. On this second occasion, Brian worked diligently to help me, not only did he help me with the sale of my old home, he also followed through and completed the process with the purchase of new one. In the past I have recommended Brian's services to my friends and co-workers, and I will continue to do so in the future, knowing his work ethic and how he steadfastly follows through on his commitments.</p> <p>Thanks Brian, to you, and all of your team.</p> <p>Dan Anderson</p>

We interviewed three Realtors before deciding to list with Brian. We are sure happy that we chose Brian. His service and professionalism was beyond our expectation. He was a joy to deal with and kept us well informed through every step of the process. Our property sold promptly and at a great price. Lois and David Fisher
