We had the pleasure of working with Brendan Phillips this past year in selling our house and buying our dream home. We can't say enough about how wonderful Brendan was to work with. Brendan was very calm, informative, responsive and diligent in his work. We were able to sell fast and find the exact property we wanted, right in our target neighbourhood.

Bryn

“We highly recommend Mike. Not only was he very friendly and personable, he gave us excellent advice. He is the NO pressure realtor And that really makes a difference. You feel comfortable with the whole process from start to finish. I can’t say enough about how much we appreciated his help.”

Teresa

You have made this whole experience of selling my home very easy and I thank you for that. I just wanted to say thank you man you did a wonderful job I could not have asked for any better.

ERNIE

“Mike helped us in the sale of our equestrian acreage in Central Saanich. Mike had previously helped us sell a condo, but this was a huge step up. With the combination of local connections and marketing the property before it hit the market, we sold the property for the price we were looking for.”

Jaimey

I would like to thank you for your exemplary hard work and continuous feedback you gave us on listing Dad's condo. From recommending the right price, to your advertising in the Times Colonist and all of the open houses, we really could not have asked for a better real estate agent.

SARAH

“The condo needed a number of renovations and Mike was a great help in overseeing this process before we listed the property and making sure it was ready on time. With the combination of a strong marketing plan and local connections, Mike was able to sell the property in eight days.”

Carlos

Brendan by far exceeded my expectations. He was kind, courteous, and always available to help during a stressful time. I honestly cannot say enough good things about him as a realtor and everyone I have referred to him along the way has been equally impressed. While you can't control the market, you can certainly control which realtor you hire and Brendan would definitely be my recommendation to make the process as easy as possible in any market.

MIKE

“Mike was truly everything we hoped for and more in a real estate agent. We’ve learned it’s not easy finding an amazing agent, and we are so incredibly happy we did after others that didn’t work out for us. What we appreciated most about Mike was that he truly cared about us and what we needed/wanted, was never pushy, always knowledgeable, always prompt and on it, was patient with our changing parameters, is a kind guy with no ego, and truly listened to us and took action on homes even if the deal was a stretch to come to fruition. Mike is truly one of the very best and we HIGHLY recommend him.”

Laura

As a first-time buyer, I had hoped to find a realtor that would make the process of finding a home as pain-free as possible. Not only did Brendan make me feel at ease during our search, he also continued to impress me with his knowledge and dedication while acting as my agent. Thank you again for all your hard work, Brendan!

ALEXIS

“Mike is an amazing realtor who is super professional, knowledgeable, and honest. Mike patiently walked us through each step and always went above and beyond to finding answers to our questions. We would definitely work with Mike again, and we strongly recommend him if you want the best realtor experience!”

Crystal

“Mike kept us informed and updated every step of the way. His response time and communication is first class. Mike is very friendly and answered all our questions with an open and honest attitude which was a breath of fresh air.”

Aftab

“We've been very happy in our home search with Mike. Not only was he patient with our everchanging criteria and preferences, he expertly guided us on things to consider for each property we viewed and the purchase process itself. Mike remained upbeat; Mike encouraged and helped us scout for desirable properties. Hence, we are exceedingly grateful to him for his help and would not hesitate to refer friends or family who have real estate needs to him in the future."
