When we decided it was time to sell our house, we interviewed several realtors.

After 44 years in my townhouse, it was time for me to find the perfect, smaller place near the ocean and I was fortunate to have Jim join me on this journey.

His extraordinary patience with my many questions and his knowledge of current real estate practices were the major factors that kept me going. The frequent emails of available listings were a great help. He was flexible, kind, personable and always optimistic that the right place would be found. His no pressure and true persistence were recently rewarded and I am on my way. I would highly recommend using this impressive realtor for anyone planning a move in the lower mainland. - Terri Gerath

He is definitely the type of realtor that does the work. - Darcia Jamison

It was also a great perk that he covered our moving costs. 10/10, would recommend. - Eric Christensen

We tried a couple of well-known Realtors downtown when we were buying our first home, but despite taking us on as clients, they didn’t take us seriously and put in very little effort. Finding Jim Pilkington made all the difference. As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous and unsure, but Jim patiently walked us through the entire process. He was always available to meet us at open houses and provided honest, practical advice on what to avoid and how to move forward. We ended up buying a condo, and Jim supported us every step of the way. Our family has since grown and we’ve outgrown our condo. We look forward to working with Jim again for our next sale and purchase. Highly recommend. - Winston D'Vaz

My family and I had a top-tier experience working with Jim to sell our apartment in Olympic Village. Jim is friendly, professional, and clearly knowledgable about the housing market. He did in-depth research on our area and showed us many other market comparables to help us confidently price our home. Because of this, he was able to sell our home quickly at a great price in a difficult market. He put together a stunning listing, brochure and video of our property, and even dropped by to give us pointers on how to prepare our place for showings. Throughout the whole process, he was extremely responsive to our questions and gave us detailed updates on how things were looking with prospective buyers. Best of all - Jim was willing to fight for us to get what we believe is the best price possible for our property. He handled a multiple-offer situation with grace, and helped us close the deal well after regular business hours. We were thrilled with the outcome! We loved working with Jim to sell our home and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Jim! - Emily Lee

Jim recently helped my fiancée and I purchase our first home, and we cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with him. He helped us throughout every step of the search, from sending us listings that we might be interested in based on our initial discussions, giving us market updates and examining comparable property sales in the neighbourhoods we were interested in, to booking and taking us to viewings. Jim was an excellent communicator and was always quick to reply to any questions we had, regardless of how early or late it was. We especially appreciated how much Jim kept our best interests at the forefront of his work. During many of our viewings he was quick to point out potential issues or downsides of the properties we saw. In some cases, he even suggested that we turn away, which shows that he always had our best interests in mind and wasn't just trying to quickly close a deal. When we finally saw a place that seemed to check all of our boxes, Jim handled the negotiations flawlessly. Keeping us in the loop throughout, he was able to secure us the home at a price that was significantly below their listing price. Afterwards, he walked us through the rest of the process, making sure that we had a contractual agreement that protected us from any issues down the line. Not only that, he also went through the contract line-by-line with us in order to make sure that we truly understood what everything meant. It was a pleasure working with Jim as our realtor, and we absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a property. His combination of knowledge, experience, and communication skills made the whole process smooth and easy. He is also just a great guy to be around! - Kevin Yang

Jim truly listened to what our family needed—not just in a home, but in a neighborhood that would keep our child in the same school catchment and can accommodate our family’s growing needs.

Jim was creative during negotiations and always found ways to make things smoother and more favorable for us. It was a stressful and complicated transaction with many moving parts, but Jim was always calm and reassuring. We always felt supported, never alone.

Jim has got to be one of the most friendly, knowledgeable and honest realtors out there. He is so polite, professional approachable and easy to work with. My wife and I recently sold a property and purchased another and he helped make the transactions go as smooth as possible. Because we were selling and buying at the same time it was a bit tricky with all the fine details involved and Jim really showed he had our best interests in mind the whole time. We managed to sell and buy all within 38 days from start to finish! We did not feel pressured at all in the transactions unlike past experiences with other realtors. And the photographer he uses takes absolutely great photos/videos of your property. I highly recommend Jim if you are looking to sell and/or buy real estate as he greatly minimizes the stress that might come with each transaction! - Peter Lee
