Michael Barnes - Realtor at Holmes Realty - Real Estate Agent - Sidney, British Columbia

I'm very grateful a friend recommend Michael as my purchasing agent. Having recently moved back to the Island from many years overseas, I needed someone who knew the market and current processes. Michael patiently and thoroughly walked me through purchasing my dream condo. He used technology to display recent comparison sales on a large wall screen, drafted the offer, advised next steps, continually checked for understanding, anticipated needs and followed up promptly when I tossed questions from left field. After the purchase, he liaised with the selling agent and/or previous owner for missing keys or information I needed to operate various tech items in the condo. He even gave me tips for great businesses in my new community. I highly recommend Michael as a buyer's agent!

Michael is friendly and approachable. Questions, emails and texts were answered quickly, usually with a phone call. Michael enthusiastically put in all of the time needed for purchasing, and was always willing to help, even with little extras. He tackled problems when they arose and was great with follow up. I was purchasing on the island, while still living in Vancouver, and Michael helped make it relatively easy. I recommend Michael for your property needs.

Michael helped me find my dream home. It has everything on my wish list. Michael was very patient as I went through the process of 'this one's too small', 'this one's too dark' etc. His knowledge of the local market and his experience with building & renos allowed him to show me the pros and cons of properties. I highly recommend Michael!

I've worked with many realtors, but Michael is just the best! He's super quick to respond, really gets what you're looking for, and knows everything there is to know about the real estate market. Buying a home is a huge deal, and I can't think of anyone better to guide you through it than Michael. In a sea of real estate agents, he's a rare gem, and I highly recommend him!

We heard about Mike Barnes through a friend who he helped to purchase their first home and they had nothing but good things to say about him. After getting in touch with Michael, he quickly made time to meet with us and discuss our real estate vision. As first time home buyers we had little to no knowledge about the real estate process, but Mike has worked with many clients like us and his confidence and knowledge of the industry helped us to settle in and figure out a plan for our future!

From the beginning, Mike constantly put our needs and finances above his own. He never once recommended for us to do something that he wouldn’t do himself and his competence in real estate helped us get the perfect home within our budget. Mike was very professional and understanding when it came to helping us with the biggest investment of our lives.

I’ve since referred several friends throughout Lethbridge to Mike Barnes and all have been nothing but happy with the services they received! Michael will help you get the perfect home for the best price every time.

Michael helped me buy my first home. I admittedly knew little about the process but he patiently helped me through it, even when I changed my preferences many times. He really listened and I never felt pressured into decisions or to move forward until things were just right. He was flexible working around my hectic schedule and was always quick to answer my questions or schedule short notice viewings. If you want a realtor who is personable, listens, and always acts in your best interest Michael is your guy.

When we decided to move from Edmonton to the Victoria area we got linked up with Michael and we are so glad we did. Michael worked tirelessly for a couple of months to help us secure a home in a very competitive market and during the tail end of a pandemic. From canvassing to Zoom showings, we went above and beyond to assure we were finally able to secure a home. We couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone in the market for a Realtor and we will definitely use him again should we decide to make another real estate purchase in the future.

We were extremely pleased with the level of service Michael provided. As out-of-town buyers he was very flexible to our schedule and always willing to walk us through viewings on zoom calls, when we were unable to attend in person. Detailed information on any of the listings we were interested in was thorough and readily provided. We strongly recommend Michael for your real estate needs in the greater Victoria area!
