Companies don’t hire people without first checking their references. You shouldn’t work with someone without checking their references either.

What our clients have to say about us:

My husband and I are happy to tell you about our experience with Michael Thorne as our Realtor. From the beginning, Michael was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. His understanding of our needs was exceptional. Michael offered extremely valuable advice and impeccably represented the core beliefs of honest real estate. His knowledge of homes and the communities they reside in was astounding. It was evident that Michael called the lower mainland home his entire life. Michael worked extremely hard at finding buyers for our house and was willing to answer his phone for any questions at any time. In a profession where individual realtors must battle with conflicts of interest, ethics and general insider shenanigans you will sleep well at night knowing that Michael is your Realtor. His adhesion to the codes of conduct, ethics and realtor creeds is second to none. Come to think of it, the only mistake Michael made was when he answered one question posed by my husband. When asked whether there were bears in the area, Michael firmly responded that they existed on the other side of the Fraser River and that there were no bears in our area. That winter, one brave bear finally made the swim across and proved Michael wrong!

It is my pleasure to share a few details of my recent experience with realtor Jorda Maisey. I was one of those unfortunate few who had listed with a different agent and for several months had no offers - even with over 50 spectators walking through! Discouraged and concerned, I received a reference from mutual friends to give Jorda and her partner a call. A meeting ensued and immediately I was impressed with the forthrightness, exposure ideas and decorating advice. Together they really got the ball rolling with guidance and recommendations. The professionalism and expertise presented by Jorda and her team is truly unparalleled. It provided me with the confidence that a sale would be eminent. Within one business day of exposure we had acquired an offer and a sale resulted. Thank you again Jorda – Best wishes.

Dear Trisha, Thank you so much for all of your help and hard work in getting this home to sell! We were pleased with all of what you did for us! We liked all of the "modern ways" you chose to aid the sale - paperless, craigslist, email, online updates, etc - Very eco-friendly! We appreciated everything you did for us and will be sure to pass your name along to anyone we know who is looking to buy or sell! Thank you so much again.

We are very happy with Michael Thorne's services as our Realtor. He's extremely reliable and was always there for us when we needed him. We definitely threw a few curve balls at him and he always rose to the challenge. He applied his many years of experience by providing honest advice and guidance, teaching us the 'ins and outs' of buying our first home, and helping us avoid making a few potential mistakes. We felt comfortable asking Michael lots of questions and he would always answer without judgment. We will absolutely be acquiring Michael's services again in the future. Thanks,

Jorda and Michael, thank you for your gifts given so generously. We appreciate the work you have done on our behalf on the sale of our home and purchase of our townhome. In so many ways you go above and beyond in your attention to detail. We are slowly settling into our new home, and will continue to work on it to make it our own. We’ve begun renovations to the basement, choosing paint colours, and purchasing new furniture. We wish you both continued blessings in your work.

We were thrilled with Trish’s help as we would have never found our dream house in Walnut Grove by ourselves. It had just come out on MLS and we were the first people to see it. It is in a cud-de-sac and has a greenbelt behind it so the perfect place to raise our family. The purchase and completion went very smoothly so we would highly recommend Trish.
Thanks for your help.
