Scott Johnston at Arbutus is an unbelievably amazing realtor. I used him to sell my condo in Victoria and it sold within 30 days in a fairly soft market. All aspects of selling with him - from his stellar media team to his unwavering dedication to my well-being to his steadfast attention to detail - were impressive. I really can't say enough good things about Scott as a person and as a realtor. He would be who I would use on any future home buying/selling ventures in and around Victoria!

I can't say enough good things about our experience working with Scott Johnston. Scott was so great throughout the entire process of purchasing our first home. His knowledge of the market, quick response times, and unwavering dedication made all the difference. As first time homebuyers my partner and I felt so supported and confident every step of the way. Scott truly went above and beyond, exceeding all of our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the outcome! We highly recommend Scott for all your real estate needs!

Scott Johnston assisted my partner and I through the entire process of learning about Victoria, virtually touring numerous properties as we moved towards a purchase, and then arranging in-person viewings around our schedule. We really enjoyed his engaging personality, and his hard work helped us purchase a wonderful condo that meets all of our needs. I highly recommend him for any purchaser.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Scott Johnston on a property in the Gulf Islands. It was only a possible listing, as it had a few encumbrances on the title. Even though I had not signed a listing agreement with Scott, he was incredibly helpful, and even went out to visit the property which took a whole day of his time. He continued to advise me until the property eventually sold to a party with a ROFR. I would absolutely recommend Scott and would not hesitate to work with him again. Thank you, Scott!

My husband and I have been extremely happy working with Scott Johnston to find a condominium in Victoria. I spent my early life in Toronto, and regret not learning about Victoria weather sooner! Scott has been a tremendous help guiding my search. He is very professional, thorough, hardworking and patient.He brings excellent listening skills and market insight to the search for a new home. As a buyer with clear ideas of likes and dislikes but little knowledge of the city, Scott was able to help me navigate the path to a great place for us. He truly went above and beyond to help us and I highly recommend him and his company to anyone that wants personalized and attentive service.

We felt very fortunate having Alex as our Real Estate Agent. He was extremely reliable, knowledgeable, professional and personable. He was enthusiastic about his work and always made us feel like he had the time for helping us. We really appreciated Alex's skill in helping us buy our new home. Alex and Scott make a wonderful team. They worked hard and did a fantastic job in getting our home listed and sold in a very short time frame. We give them 5 out of 5 stars! Rene and Gillian de Jong

I want to leave a note of high recommendation for Arbutus Property Group and Scott Johnston in particular. Scott assisted me with the purchase of an ocean front condo. I have worked with many realtors over the years, in several different countries, and can say with confidence that Scott is the best broker I have ever used.

Scott has the qualities that make him an extremely effective broker. I can’t say enough about his professionalism and knowledge within the industry. He has high integrity and is very conscientious and tenacious, always keeping my interests in mind especially while I was incapacitated while in hospital.

One of the qualities I respected the most was his no- nonsense style. I don’t have time to waste, he gets to the point quickly yet professionally, always respecting my time and offering help at critical moments. He does a great job of listening to my requests and does not waste time showing properties which do not meet those needs. He is responsive to questions, often responding immediately to my late night email and shows great attention to the details, enabling the transaction to get done and also, with key recommendations for lawyers, contractors and any other persons as needed.

In future transactions, I will only have Scott and Arbutus represent me.

Alex and his team was really able to pull a rabbit out of their hat for my wife and I. He was able to list, generate interest, and sell our house in just a few days. Making it possible for us to meet our commitment on an offer we made on a property in Parksville. He was very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process.
