My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Mike. He's guided us through two transactions now, both the purchase of our first home, and sale of said home. If I could give him 10 stars, I would, he is the best of the best. Buying and selling is full of emotional highs and lows with many decisions to be made along the way, Mike's ability to understand our needs, motivators, decision drivers, and manage all stakeholders involved in the deal is what won us the multi-offer situation for our first purchase, and what got us a price above what we had hoped in our sale. He felt like a best friend, partner, and confidant during both cycles, and always had our best interests at the forefront. Beyond his deep knowledge of the BC market, three areas where he brings the most value are: strategic negotiation - reaching mutually beneficial agreements with favourable terms, his industry relationships and network, and his ability to listen and understand his clients needs - he always keeps this at the forefront of any decision he makes. I give my highest recommendation for Mike and can't wait until he finds us our next home!

We had a wonderful experience working with Mike. As a couple from the UK, this was our first property purchase in Canada. Mike was patient, knowledgable, extremely thorough and acted with integrity throughout the process. He helped us navigate a hot market, gave us sound advice, and importantly, never used any pushy sales tactics. His support and help didn't end once we'd closed either - Mike has been constantly on hand for questions, and has always been highly responsive to our needs. You really can't go wrong. We ended up in a dream home with our new baby and couldn't be happier.

Thank you Mike - we will no doubt work with you again in the future!

Writing this review from the comfort of our beautiful new home!! That's all thanks to Mike. We initially connected with Mike on a recommendation from our mortgage broker. Right from the beginning, Mike was well prepared, punctual, and easy going. Mike took the time to understand our goals in finding a home and gave useful feedback to help us fine tune expectations.

During the search process, Mike was very good about scheduling showings. As soon as we said we were interested, he was able to set up the viewing quickly. He provided tons of information about each place and often had historical information about complexes because he worked other clients who had purchased there which was helpful in making a decision.

The home we ultimately purchased was forwarded on by Mike about 10 minutes after it was listed. Thanks to his effort to understand our needs, he knew it was a place we would love. And of course, we did! The thing that impressed us the most (and is the most important part of the process) was how Mike helped us navigate the offer and contract process. We ended up in a multiple offer situation and were accepted thanks to Mike's guidance.

From the initial offering to closing, things couldn't have been easier. Because Mike knows so many good people (mortgage brokers, lawyers, inspectors, etc.) things went extremely efficiently and without any hassle. So after only 4 weeks from initial offer to sitting in our new living room, Mike made our dream of home ownership come true and we couldn't be more thankful!

Bottom line: If you want a no-stress, knowledgeable, and professional agent to help you find your dream home, Mike's your guy.

Having recently relocated to Canada from the UK, we were nervous and uninformed about the real estate processes in Vancouver. Mike came to us highly recommended and we most definitely did not regret this introduction! Mike is brilliant - he was extremely patient and always straightforward with us - priceless when you have just moved continents and don’t know what to expect from what is a crazy market! We simply cannot recommend him enough and look forward to working with Mike again in the future.

- J & C. Bickle

Mike was so great to work with. He made the process of selling our house as stress-free as possible. We felt confident and at ease with Mike because he paid attention to small details and treated our home like his own. We never felt rushed. Mike sold our house quickly and for a great price. We can't say enough good things about our experience with Mike!

- L & L. Greig

Mike was a pleasure to deal with. This was my first condo purchase and at no time did he make me feel intimidated during the process despite my lack of knowledge. I requested a top 10 list for the price range & demographic area that I was interested in - he provided a top 20. Any time that I called, texted or emailed, I received a timely response. After I had put in an offer on my place, I still wanted to keep looking as to make sure that I was getting the best deal - he was more than happy to oblige. I would highly recommend Mike as your realtor. I know he will be mine again in the future. 

- P. Bedoret

We were brought to Mike through a friend, and are very thankful for the referral. Mike was very punctual and pleasant throughout the entire process. He never let us down making appointments and arranging visits to fit our schedule. We would see anywhere from one to six houses in a day and he always had our best interests at heart. Because of his “go-get er” attitude, he used his skills to get us a look inside a home that had not even been listed yet. Of course this was the home we ended up buying! When it came time to make an offer he gave us honest, sound advice and because of that we landed our perfect home without paying anymore than we wanted. We are forever thankful for Mike and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

- D. Campos & J. Wilson

We were so pleased with Mike and his hard work, caring personality, and knowledge of the industry. He sold my sister and boyfriend their first home a few months prior. When we were looking we knew it was going to be hard to find the right home as we have a large family. After a few months of looking, we came across "the home" and Mike happened to be away that weekend, but he called the realtor to let him know we would be coming to the open house. That day we made an offer, it fell through and we were devastated. Mike told us he would keep in touch with the realtor incase the deal fell through, and sure enough we got a call the next day! We got it!! Mike never gave up, even when we had our doubts. He worked hard for us every minute right till the end! We would recommend Mike to anyone, he's one of a kind!

As first time home buyers, Mike was referred to us from our friends who had just purchased a home with him as their Relator. We were not disappointed, as Mike gave us his undivided attention. He took all of our needs into consideration and understood our financial position. He worked extremely hard at finding us our perfect home. Our schedules were all over the map but Mike was able accommodate, and was able to make appointments with all the homes we wanted to see, around our busy schedules. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone who is buying or selling their home and will most definitely use Mike as our realtor in the future.

- J. Martinez

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. As a first time home buyer, he clearly understood my needs, reservations, and was helpful with any questions or concerns I had. He was great with following up with me, and responded promptly to any requests for property viewings (which is extremely important in this market). He accompanied me to almost all the listings I viewed, and clearly outlined the benefits and possible challenges. His knowledge of the Vancouver housing market is a definite asset in ensuring a successful bid. I would recommend Mike to anyone looking to purchase a home.

- A. Kochar

Mike is fantastic to work with. To begin with, my schedule can be hectic and he was able to cater to my needs. His responsiveness, proactive approach and knowledge is second to none. I could not have obtained this property if it was not for him, he found it and was able to get the deal done very quickly, even when there was a significantly larger offer on the table. Lastly, his patience and willingness to explain every step of the process, makes you feel at ease. 10/10 would highly recommend!

- A. Ryan

I honestly could not recommend Mike more. With it being my first time buying an apartment I envisioned it being a very stressful experience altogether. But honestly I couldn’t have been more wrong and I 100% accredit this to Mike. 

Mike was truely wonderful. Provided me with all the knowledge and advice I needed. Mike was available what felt like 24/7 and so immediate in his response to any question or query. He was patient and offered solid advice and was just overall made this process so easy and honestly enjoyable. I would advise anyone embarking on the journey to buy a place to do it with the support and company of Mike!

- A. Hilliard

Mike is simply the BEST! I have worked with Mike for years now for both buying and selling. He helped me with purchasing two rental properties in Langley, purchasing a rental property in Chilliwack, and selling my Port Coquitlam condo. Mike made things so easy for me - from arranging keys and signing everything by e-signature. He is easy to work with, responds quickly (much appreciated) and made me feel like a valued client. I recommend him to my friends & family and will definitely be using him again for all my real estate needs.

- L. Nguyen

Mike helped me purchase 2 apartments in Vancouver. Both times it was a great experience. He was extremely professional, very knowledgeable about the Real Estate Market and was invested in finding me a place that suited my taste/needs no matter how long it took to find. As well, on a couple occasions he pointed out certain information in the Strata minutes that helped me make an informed decision about my purchases. He is currently helping me find a third place and there is no one else I would want to work with. Highly recommended! Thanks Mike!

- E. Joy

Mike is amazing! As first time home buyers in a competitive market like Vancouver, we had many questions about the process, and he was so patient and walked us through every detail along the way. He made the time to come with us to all of our showings and open houses, and was very helpful pointing out the important details we might have missed. He understood our financial position, wants, needs, and worked with us to find our perfect first apartment. We had the utmost trust in him to help us with this purchase, and I would absolutely recommend him to all of my friends and family. Thank you Mike for everything!

- A & E. Collins

Mike was amazing to work with. He found us our home and made the buying process a lot less stressful then it could have been. I would recommend him to anyone.

- W & S. Hosford

Mike helped us sell our condo, and the experience of working with him was amazing. His expertise, dedication, and deep understanding of the local market made the process of selling our condo much easier than we had expected. Throughout the entire selling procedure, Mike provided us with valuable advice and assisted in organizing arrangements based on our decisions. His contributions significantly reduced the stress associated with the transaction. We truly appreciate his help and thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

- J & S. Zhang

Worked with Mike to sell my condo. Took care of everything and made my place look fantastic. Mike is professional and knows his stuff! Sold quickly and very happy with the price.

- B. Sutherland

My experience selling my home with Mike was amazing. He is organized, punctual and has a great attention to detail. He also knows the Vancouver market well and I think his recommendation of price point and staging made a big difference in the quick sale of my home. He was patient and flexible with me as I was in a different time zone for much of the process. I would definitely recommend Mike and I plan to use him again for my next purchase.

- M. Horne

I have worked as a photographer with Mike Bowie for 3 years now and I would happily say that he is one of the best realtors out there. His attention to detail and knowledge within the real estate field is second to none. Mike is always extremely organized and punctual for our appointments. He has a great demeanor with his clients and always goes above and beyond for them. I would happily recommend his services.

- P. Crocker

Mike was very attentive to preferences and was very willing to work within my tight timeline despite his busy schedule. I’d highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell in the lower mainland and look forward to working with him again in the future!

- D. Nudelman

We worked with Mike to purchase our first apartment in Vancouver. He was absolutely amazing through out the whole process, and really took the time to understand us on a personal level to ensure we were buying a place that we would be happy in for years to come. It has been almost 3 years since then, and we are still over the moon with our place. I have recommended Mike to everyone that will listen. We will definitely be working with him for any future purchases as well. Thank you Mike! We could not have asked for a better experience.

- J & T. Chobotiuk

Mike is honestly the best realtor! We had such a great experience working with him to purchase our first condo, and then subsequently sell it. His organization and attention to detail is second to none, and he knows everyone in the business (the best home inspector, mortgage broker, etc.). Highly recommend :)

- H & J. Harris

Working with Mike was a pleasure. He has deep knowledge of the Vancouver market and extensive connections to other service providers to help his clients through the homebuying process. Thank you Mike!

- O. Mashinini

Mike was the consummate professional throughout our entire home buying experience. Thoughtful and insightful, he struck a perfect balance of providing guidance whilst allowing us to find the right fit on the market.

Can’t recommend Mike enough and will absolutely work with him again when the time comes to dip back into the market!

- A. Larmour

Mike provided 5 star service. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and patient and made the whole process from showing my townhouse to the closing of the deal seamless. If you want a stress free experience I highly recommend Mike!

- D. Carruthers

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made process of selling my condo easier than 123. Even when purchasing the place 3 years ago Mike quickly understood exactly what I wanted from a place of residence. I feel like his attention to detail made me incredibly confident/comfortable to leave it up to him. Mike is the man! Could not recommend him more!

- A. Gumuchian

If you are looking to purchase real estate in the Vancouver area or exploring this option, Mike is your go-to guy. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he is very easy to work with! I work in the industry and not only use Mike as my personal realtor, but I also refer many of my clients to him. I know from experience that he always goes above and beyond for his clients! Every referral I have sent his way has had nothing but great things to say!
