Craig Toker, PREC Accepting New Clients

My condo at  3170 Irma St Unit 401 was listed twice. The first try failed because it lacked what a realtor would do to sell. We kept dropping the price down until I pulled it out from the market. That was 3 years ago. Then, I decided to give it another try and see what  happens. My place isn’t a piece of cake to sell. I have a very limited market due to 3 major drawbacks, one is age restriction, must be 45 yo and above. Second, there is no elevator to cater older people and the last is, no rental allowed. I wonder which realtor I can get to sell it this time! I have a growing family and we need a house without restrictions! A friend recommended me to Craig Toker of Royal Le Page. On my first meeting with him, I was already impressed. He is such a nice guy with whom you can be comfortable talking with. He is very professional and so experienced with his trade. He explained well what is expected and what to be done to get the highest price out of the property. So, staging was done to increase the value. The staging was so impeccably done by IV. I was so impressed that my simple unit turned classy with an affordable fee.  It didn’t even come from my pocket but from the proceeds of the property so no need to worry about that. Pictures taken were just so stunning and fliers too, very presentable and chic! Craig himself presented the place with accuracy. With all these selling strategies come to place, my condo was sold in 3 weeks...priced handsomely. I was so happy. In addition to all good things that happened, there is also a courtesy van which I used to move my things free of charge, an added bonus in a world where everything comes with a price. Every transaction/paper works went on smoothly with the help of Jan Dell, an equally lovely person as Craig himself. I am now in the process of looking a house. This is again another difficult stage to undergo considering the exorbitant prices of houses nowadays. I stayed with Craig in my house hunting. Marnie, on the other hand is another realtor working with Craig and she is also a very pleasant lady, very patient and no boring moment that makes the activity interesting. With Craig, Jan Dell, Marnie and IV, they make a wonderful team. If you are looking for someone who can make a difference and whom you can trust, choose Craig Toker of Royal Le Page. Kudos for all! - Evangeline Evangelista

I heard of Craig through a friend and I'm very happy and pleased that I used him as my realtor. He's helped me through the whole process of having previous renters for 2 years.  I sold my home for a very good price. I'm glad I staged the house which was a very good idea. Everything went smooth and in the right direction.  I'll definitely use Craig again in the future.  I will recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor. - Rapinder

Craig was very professional. The photographs showed the property in the best light. He was transparent and spent a lot of time with us going over our options. We would definitely use him again. - Joshua Ault

I had listed my place with another agent. It was on the market for months with no success. My friend had just listed with Craig and had amazing results! I made the decision to switch and it was the best decision. From the get go he was straight forward, thoughtful and super professional. It was clear he was really dedicated to making the process easy for me and to getting results I would be happy with. He had a clear process and spent the time to do his job to the highest quality. His team was awesome! The staging looked so great, and it absolutely made a huge difference. His video and photos made my place look so fancy! His assistant was a pleasure to work with and they had a great system to help me keep track of everything that was going to happen. I was super impressed with the fact that he is present at every showing of my place to ensure the buyers see all the benefits of the building and get the answers they need to make a decision. It was also really reassuring that my place was being cared for while I vacated for strangers to walk through. We listed on Thursday, by Tuesday we had an offer! AND there was a snow storm over the weekend. I would recommend Craig and his team to anyone that will listen to me! seriously, do yourself a favour, and talk to Craig. - Angela Frattaroli

I had great experience with Craig, I was hesitating about staging in a phone conversation, we met after and he recommended me to do the staging without any pressure. I finally agreed with staging , it was a great suggestion and that is what I needed from trusted agent . He sold my condo (conditions removed ) in less than a week and the buyer even did not see the condo. The staging and great photos and virtual tour did the job, condo was sold to the first offer which came in few hours after posting for full asking price with a back up offer. Great Experience with Craig! Thank You - Ebrahim Salemi

We are so glad that we chose Craig for the sale of our house! We met Craig a year ago, when looking to buy a house. We really liked how he presented the sellers’ house, being passionate and honest. So, it was a no-brainer who we wanted to sell our house with, when time would come. Craig gave us valuable advice when we met prior to listing our house, so that the prep work was done upfront. He conducted himself with distinction in the execution of our agreed upon plan and strategy. We determined together the value of the property, based on his analysis on the property and area, his extensive experience, and the analysis of comparable houses and the market trends. We liked his calm and professional demeanour and everything he did for us (video, pictures, drone pictures, etc.) was done perfectly. His entire team held a very high professional standard. The timely and thorough feedback, particularly on the status of potential buyers, was very helpful to us. We ended up selling our house in less than a week. We are more than completely satisfied. Thank you Craig, you did a really great job! - Teodora Mircea

Craig and his team were recommended through a friend. I am very happy I followed the suggestion to use Craig as the listing agent for my home. Craig provided gold star service on all fronts. His assessment of the value of my house and the market at a complicated time (COVID), and his marketing strategy were all completely on point. All members of his team are personable, knowledgeable and demonstrated a clear passion for their work. I truly enjoyed all my interactions with Craig, Marnie, Ivi, and Jan-Delle. They were immediately responsive to any questions and concerns I had and guided me through the process of prepping and selling my home. Craig's marketing strategy was excellent and drew a lot of positive attention to my property. Craig and Marnie were also a great help as I searched for a new home in a fast moving and challenging market. Their awareness of the areas I was looking in and general real estate knowledge helped lead me to the perfect home. I would not hesitate to recommend Craig Toker as a Realtor. - Jennifer Ames

Professional, respectful, attentive to my requests and excellent communication from Mr. Craig Toker throughout the entire search and purchase process. He goes above and beyond what a seasoned buyer expects from an agent. Without a nano second hesitation, I recommend Craig Toker to work with you. - Dr. T. Andre

We are extremely happy with the service provided by Craig and his team. His understanding of the local market, his modern approach to online advertising, and his attention to detail is the best that we have seen, period! His guidance towards staging our condo was excellent and well worth the investment. His team approach to servicing his customers is very efficient. We would use Craig again and would highly recommend him to anyone in the Victoria market. - Grant Coates

Referred by friends who had used Craig consistently. Craig attends every showing of your home to highlight the features of your home to prospective buyers. His specialty: Professional Presentations/Staging & Communications He became the realtor he never had... Would always use Craig Toker! - DAW & TKW

I bought and sold this condo with Craig Toker, he also sold my mother in law's House, I couldn't say enough about Craig and his teams great work. I know his hard work, professionalism and staging is the reason my condo sold so quickly over the other 2 condo's for sale in my building. I would highly recommend Craig and his team and would definitely use them again. - Doug Astleford

Craig and team is a full service professional group that will help you get your dream home. I was able to find the home I love less than a month, put in an offer quickly with the help of Craig and Marnie. Craig and his team will work tirelessly to ensure smooth purchase or selling, with his extensive experience and understanding of the local real estate market. Craig and his team are also very patient and kind. They understand it’s might be a once or twice in a lifetime experience for consumers who are looking to sell or purchase a home. Craig is a highly skilled problem-solver. I ran into a number of issues but Craig was very quickly to help resolve effectively. The extra bonus I like very much is the post-transaction service with the client courtesy van to help with moving. For someone who doesn’t own a larger car or pickup truck, that offers added value that I really appreciate. - Tobey Ho

Craig and his team gave us the highest level of professional service throughout our experience with them.  Craig always took time to personally answer queries and find ways to market our home to reach the right audience. Very satisfied with them and highly recommended! - Bill and Michelle Schley

Craig and Marnie were incredibly kind and patient with us. They put concentrated time and energy into educating us on the market and buying process. We knew at all times that they were working tirelessly for us. This was evident through frequent check-in emails, immediate responses and how they often anticipated our needs. Craig's straight forward manner and contracting knowledge was so valuable and a huge comfort for us. Marnie's warmth and personal experience made it a pleasure to house hunt. While we decided to buy in another city, we consider our experience with Toker Realty to be immensely valuable. We have no doubt they would have found us our dream home here, if our situation hadn't changed. We cannot recommend them highly enough. - Jennifer & Christian

Craig without any doubt is an exceptional real estate agent. He was extremely professional and courteous. He responded to any of my calls or texts almost immediately. His knowledge of the market appears exceptional. With his background, he was always looking at the big picture of the property I was considering.... eg structural things within the property, something I might have overlooked. Again, I cannot say enough about how he constantly looked out for my needs and requests. I would, without any reservation give him a 5 star ++ rating - Barry Phillips

Craig was very knowledgeable and reliable! His previous contracting experience lent him great knowledge and attention to detail in homes we looked at. While selling our home, Craig made himself available for nearly all of the showings to make sure that potential buyers left with all their questions answered. We developed a very trusting relationship with Craig and would certainly recommend him to any of our close friends and family! - Chelsea

Craig and his team were the epitome of professionalism. In the midst of a very uncertain period (pandemic) Craig was a beacon of calm and reassurance. His approach was evidence based and thorough, his advice was sound and his overall execution of the sales plan was top notch. He goes the extra mile and our results (sold for asking price) reflected this attention to every detail. We are thoroughly impressed with Craig and highly recommend him to others. - John Nethercott

We didn’t know how Covid would impact the marketplace and demand for real estate. We spoke to a couple agents, but immediately knew we found the right one after we spoke with Craig. We were extremely impressed with Craig's responsiveness, commitment, professionalism and ability to get the job done quickly and efficiently. The marketing materials to showcase his listings – photos, brochures, video walk through footage, drone footage etc ensured that our property was showcased to maximum advantage. We had never used a staging service before and had some initial reservations, but we were extremely pleased with the results. Ivica did a fabulous job and ensured that the property showed in the best way possible. Craig and his highly efficient team are on top of everything. They worked to stage the condo and put together a marketing plan that resulted in it being sold within 2 days of the listing going live. We had 2 offers - one at list, and one at above list. He surpassed all our expectations, and was very helpful. After the sale, he even arranged to move things from the property when we couldn’t be there to do it ourselves. In addition, his recommendations for other trusted professionals (staging, legal work) were spot on – they were reasonably priced, responsive and on top of everything as well. We highly recommend Craig to anyone seeking an outstanding agent. - Carol Desjardins

Craig was amazing this realtor goes far beyond anything I ever expected. Very good at his job and our property sold within 24 hrs of it being listed. Craig has all the right contacts to clean up a property to sell it quickly. Very helpful with everything including moving things from the property and even mowed our lawn when I couldn’t get it done due to a dislocated hip, extremely helpful realtor and I recommend him to anyone that needs a property sold. - Rick Neyts

Craig did an amazing job, he is definitely top of his game and comes highly recommended. He and his team did what I could never have hoped to do on my own, including an amazing staging, open houses every weekend, and fast and successful lead generation. He communicated quickly and transparently at ever stage. There is no doubt in my mind, I really made the right choice by selling with Craig! - Steven

After meeting & speaking with Craig I decided he was the right person to list & sell the Family residence of 51 years. I found him to be professional, extremely supportive & accommodating through this journey. He provided me with details of similar listings to help with determining the selling price & answering all of my questions regarding the listing / sale. Craig accomplished having the house professionally staged (shout out to Evie!) and ready for an open house much faster than I had ever expected, being 4 weeks before Christmas. His persistence & hard work succeeded in having the house sold & a possession date prior to Christmas. My husband & I really appreciated the use of his Moving Vehicle and know that it will be available to us, should we ever require its use again. We look forward to using your services in the future. - Susan Galloway

I can't recommend Craig highly enough for either buying or selling property. He is extremely knowledgeable. Within an hour of listing my townhouse he had it staged and ready to show. My property sold quickly in the range I was expecting. The service Craig provides is above and beyond anything I've experienced in the real estate industry. I wouldn't use anyone else for buying or selling real estate. - Anne Beauchamp

Craig gave us great service. He priced property appropriately, generated interest, and showed up timely at all scheduled times. We were totally satisfied with service he provided and would recommend him to others. - ron

Before I picked Craig as my agent, I interviewed a number of other agents in my area. Craig won the listing hands-down mainly because of his offer to do open houses every weekend till my condo sold. I also checked his references which were over-the-top. As well, I appreciated the time he spent with me early on in the evaluation process, which was in excess of most of the other agents. I would definitely use Craig again as my real estate agent. He is number one in my books. - CIERRO Enterprises Inc.

Craig is extremely knowledgable and professional. We were first time buyers and he made the whole process straightforward, which reduced a lot of our stress. Craig works extremely hard to make sure everything goes smoothly for you. Can't recommend him enough! - KERRY MATZ

Craig was extremely knowledgeable and always very professional. He went above and beyond what I expected from him, to ensure I was comfortable and well-informed during the decision making process. Both he and his staff were friendly and helpful and always incredibly responsive and thorough. As a first-time home buyer, Craig's expertise and experience made the process easy and stress free. I would be delighted to recommend Craig to anybody looking to buy or sell a home. - Katelynn Brissard

Craig came highly recommended to us by a good friend and within 5 months from our first meeting with Craig, he helped us purchase a Condo for our personal investment, found a Condo for our daughter (a first-time home buyer) and sold 2 of our Family homes in November, 2019, one after another. Both houses immediately received multiple offers and sold at full asking and over asking prices. Needless to say we are extremely impressed with Craig's commitment, professionalism and ability to meet our needs at every step of the way. He is responsive, accommodating, provides sound advice and produces quality materials to showcase his listings. It is obvious that Craig and his skilled and highly efficient Team are truly passionate about their work and take great care in all their Clients, which then resonates to successful outcomes. I highly recommend Craig to anyone seeking an outstanding Realtor. - James and Norma Wong

Craig showed upmost professionalism, dedication, patience, thoroughness, enthusiasm, sound construction knowledge, empathy to sellers, taking control of tasks, attention to details, and a continuous positive attitude during the whole process. This delicate purchase would not have happened without his participation. We truly thank Craig for helping us out. Definitely a keeper! - Daniel Mercier

Sound advice, good management of sales process, generous with facilitating move. Ethical, integrity, and positive attitude. Did my own staging, and really didn't need website. Very Highly recommend Craig - Patricia Joya
