We worked with Nav from October through February in our search for a home in the Lower Mainland from a distance. Going in, we weren't too sure what we wanted. Eventually, we were able to focus in on a neighbourhood we liked and have moved into a home that we are very happy with.
We closed on our new home with a slightly unconventional offer, and we couldn't have done it without him. In that aspect alone, he proved his worth.
But Nav has much more to offer beyond his deal-making abilities. Looking back on this journey, the advice and suggestions he made along the way were sound. I'd ask him about a listing that I liked, and he wouldn't hesitate to tell me, "I wouldn't spend time looking at this listing because of X and Y, unless you are okay with Z." He'd give you his input, but always leave you space to make the decision.
I suggest to anyone who works with Nav to be open and share everything that you're thinking. I regret not doing that sooner. Yes, it's true that a buyer's agent's incentives are not always aligned with the buyer. But through this experience, Nav strived to make, and made, the best deal for me.
