Chris was awesome to work with - I was formerly licensed as a Commercial Real Estate agent, so I'm quite particular about who I work with on real estate transactions, especially when it comes to the paperwork.

Chris was thorough, high-attention to detail, and helped us feel comfortable throughout the process of searching for and purchasing our new home. You can tell he has a great pulse on the market, and knows his stuff, but was also down to earth and easy to connect with.

He quickly understood what we were looking for, helped make the process fun, and we would have never found our new home if he didn't insist that we have a look at "one more" option that might work for us (wasn't on our original list of sites).

Huge thanks to Chris and his team and would highly recommend him to anyone in the market for a new home, or who might be looking to sell a home.

I had such a positive experience with Chris as my realtor in the competitive North Vancouver market.
Chris provided valuable expertise and guidance, effectively communicated throughout the process to help me navigate the specific guidelines and make informed decisions.

His ability to provide insight into the neighbourhoods and property values demonstrates his commitment to ensuring I had all the information needed to make the right choice. Additionally, his sound advice on when to hold firm and his support in presenting all available options highlights his dedication to my best interests.

Chris was with me every step of the way, from the initial search to the move-in date, showing his commitment to providing comprehensive support and making the entire process as smooth as possible speaks volumes about the level of service he provides to all of clients. Thank you Chris

We used Chris as our realtor when we were first time home buyers, and were excited to work with him again when it came time to sell our condo and purchase a new home in 2023. Chris walked us through the steps of selling our first home, as well as how we would approach buying a new home at the same time. His help and understanding made the entire process less stressful than we anticipated. He helped us to see lots of different types of properties to really narrow down what we were looking for and we are so happy with the townhouse that we purchased in the end. It was a pleasure working with Chris and we will continue to work with him in the future.

Our home in Heritage Woods is the second property that Chris helped us secure for our family of 5. After he helped us get into the Port Moody market in 2018, we added a third child and outgrew our 3 bedroom townhome. We had been eyeing the duplexes in Heritage Woods for a couple of years and after the ideal listing came up, Chris worked very quickly and diligently to secure the home in a competitive environment. Chris' guidance on the negotiation, market analysis and supporting us in what was an emotional purchase decision were all invaluable in helping us move forward with the purchase. He was very effective in managing the sale of our townhome also, helping us achieve a sale price that was above ask and exceeded my expectations.

1-year in, we're very comfortable and happy in our new home and have no regrets. Although we have no plans to leave anytime soon, I would work with Chris again in the future and do recommend his service to friends and family (he has also sold a condo for my parents).

Chris was an incredible realtor for our family and I would not only recommend, I would encourage you hire him if you are looking to buy or sell a home! He knows the North Van/Squamish market really well and put in a ton of work to help us find us the best possible house we could, within our budget and we are thrilled with the decision, all around!

We knew Chris was the right choice for our family, right away, as we had narrowed it down to a few realtors and we were really open about our process of choosing the right one. The questions he asked us right off the top, quickly made us realize how well he new the market, how much work he continually puts into his work, as well as how hard he was willing to work for us. He put the work in and took the time to connect with each member of our family to better understand everyone’s vision and wish list… but he was also very patient with us, finding the right balance for our family and enabling us to make some great decisions along the way and ultimately, all the right ones, on the home we chose!

We are thrilled with our new home and will hire Chris again, 100%, the next time we are looking for a realtor!

The home buying process isn’t easy by any means, especially when multiple offers and sales well over asking are the norm – but when you have a real estate agent like Chris working with you, the process seems easy. The fact that Chris made us feel like his only client (when I’m sure he was working with many) is a testament to his passion for the business and the value he places on ensuring that his clients needs are being met.

He is extremely knowledgeable and communicated to us every step of the way that was easy to understand and made us feel confident in the process. He was always prepared and provided insight about the surrounding neighborhood, recent sales, and information that was important for us to consider.

If you’re looking for someone with a calm demeanor with “mad” negotiation skills (in the best possible way) Chris is your guy. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Chris and we would hands down recommend him to all of our family and friends.

We are fortunate to have worked with Chris for over 10 years, and he has consistently demonstrated attentiveness, extensive knowledge of the local market, and a remarkable ability to engage in detailed discussions at a moment's notice. His strategic insights and proactive approach were instrumental in securing the home of our dreams! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled real estate professional on the North Shore and beyond!

Chris Brown helped us to navigate the difficult path of being first time home buyers in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country, during a massive surge in home buying activity. He lent us his time, helping us to feel comfortable with the process and understanding what we should be looking at and where. Chris made effort to always explain to us what made a home an attractive place to own not only from a livability standpoint but also from the perspective of it being the largest asset we would own. Chris also brought his expertise of the real estate market, helping us to stay competitive as best we could in the face of situations where there were more than 10 bidders for a single property. He negotiated with the sellers well and took a lot of time to help us understand and navigate the process of buying a home. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Chris and we will certainly pass his contact to any of our friends and family who are in the RE market in the future.
