Client Comments:

"We met Lance when he first walked us through 8925 Lawrence Way, West Vancouver. Lance was always quick to return phone calls within the hour and e-mails within the day, which is one of the fasted response times of any real estate agent that we're aware of. We also like the fact that he was one of the few real estate agents who took our interest as potential buyers seriously, even though we weren't using a real estate agent at the time. We then appointed him as our real estate agent. Lance's knowledge of market conditions was very important and reassuring, especially for our million dollar property investment! He has a calming and professional manner and offers a no-pressure approach. We also liked the fact that he could think 'outside the box' when it came to making an offer.  Where many real estate agents can claim to be good negotiators, Lance goes beyond this by using his vast experience and knowledge to strategical plan the sale from listing to close. This became a crucial issue that in the end, clinched the deal. We think Lance's 'after sales service' is truly a selling point and are indebted to him for looking at our house design and offering his comments. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and would be pleased to speak with any future clients of Lance's who are looking for feedback regarding his professional abilities."

"I would like to express our appreciation for your part in making this a VERY successful move for our mom. We started this process on tenuous ground with her very cool to the idea of moving. We obviously selected the right realtor both in terms of technical expertise and one who was sensitive to the clients needs. Thanks again and it has been a pleasure dealing with you. I'm sure we will touch paths again, when it becomes necessary to sell the condo."

Former North Shore Resident

"We recently had the pleasure and great financial opportunity of working with Lance Phillips and his team of professionals,
including his very capable wife Wendy. Lance made us promises early on that included making the process as painless and as fast and profitable as possible.  He exceeded our expectations at every turn.

Lance's professionalism and service could not have been more appropriate. His knowledge, execution and follow-up were
perfect for our situation.

Wendy was incredible in her relentless service level and follow through until the job was done and continued to keep
contact to make sure all was well in our new home.

I would not hesitate in recommending Lance and Wendy and their team to anyone considering selling or buying a home.

Why would you ever want to deal with the second best when you can deal with the best in class?"

Trevor & Lisa Bowles
North Shore Residents

"We wish we had found Lance many years ago! Lance was recommended to Jim and I by a good friend in real estate. We were on the same wave length from the get go. Lance listened to us, gave us guidance and advice, then created a strategy we were all happy with to achieve our goals. Lance did what he said he would, when he said he would, and achieved what he said he would - in fact, he did more! He kept us fully informed and the story ended happily ever after for all concerned. Lance restored our faith in win-win scenarios and we would not hesitate to recommend him in a moment!"

"We have just completed our fourth real estate transaction with Lance Phillips of Macdonald Realty. We could not have been happier with the process or the result. Lance is unfailingly available, professional and trustworthy. On the two occasions when Lance was the listing agent for our home, he developed and implemented a marketing plan which generated a great deal of activity in our home, leading to a quick and efficient sale with a very satisfactory outcome. We would not hesitate to recommend Lance to anyone buying or selling a home."

"Lance Phillips was our agent while we looked for a home on the North Shore. Many times while working with Lance, we felt fortunate to have such a trustworthy advisor and capable representative. We enthusiastically recommend Lance based on our experience. Throughout our search, Lance proved to be a skilled real estate agent. He quickly obtained a clear picture of our criteria. As homes became available, Lance did a good job of notifying us of those that met our objectives. We valued Lance's opinion on the properties we considered. His input regarding valuations, features and suitability were always relevant, well informed and clearly communicated. Ultimately, Lance's fast footwork enabled us to make a very successful purchase. Lance became aware of a home that was about to become available and we were able to be the first through and submit an offer very early. By acting quickly, Lance turned what could have developed into a competitive situation into a well negotiated purchase. We are very satisfied. We enjoyed working with Lance. He provides excellent service with integrity." Max Ullrich & Erica Wolowidnyk North Shore Residents

"I don't like to be talked into a purchase; I like to make up my own mind. Working with Lance Phillips was a flawless fit.  Lance doesn't "sell" real estate, he gives you an opportunity to buy. Lance listened to my needs, let me shop on my own terms, and never pressured me. It worked. With Lance, I found the perfect home for my family!

If I had a question, Lance was accessible, quick to return my call and find an answer. I never got the impression I was anything but an appreciated client, as he patiently guided me through the purchase process. No matter how tense I got, Lance was a calming influence; helpful and supportive. I would heartily recomment Lance to anyone who values intelligence and experience in the people they choose to work with."

"Having been a real estate agent myself for thirteen years, it was very unsettling to turn into my version of a 'nightmare buyer client'. We were very particular and took an incredible amount of time in deciding on a home. We changed our search parameters several times AND the type of property that we thought we wanted. Throughout the almost seven months of house hunting, Lance was always patient with us, completely knowledgeable, and had answers to questions about area, possible renovation costs, etc. When we finally found the right place, Lance advised and negotiated us through a tense and competitive offer situation to an ecstatic conclusion. We are incredibly happy with our choice and would recommend Lance as a real estate agent with great enthusiasm." Laura Fluter Executive Director Leading Spas of Canada Andrew Mack Director Human Security at LIU Institute UBC

"They say the best recommendation is word of mouth. This is definitely true for Lance. My husband and I met Lance when he was recommended to us by friends who had been extremely pleased with his work for them. With Lance's help, we sold our house on a busy street in two days, above asking price, and then bought our dream house for significantly below asking.

Lance is a skilled real estate agent on both the vendor and the purchaser side. Since we first met Lance, we have recommended him to several people. Like us, they have been pleased with the job he did for them."

John Sandrelli & Mary Buttery

"We had been looking for a bigger home for about 2 1/2 years when we decided to ask Lance to help us. We are so glad we did! Lance quickly understood our needs and soon found us a perfect home. Lance's connections and experience were invaluable in ensuring that we got the home we wanted.

Lance also helped us with the sale of our former house and he and his wife, Wendy, provided superb advice and assistance on staging it for optimal presentation. Lance used his extensive network to widely market our house pre-sale and it sold for well over asking price within five days of being listed.

We were extremely pleased with the service provided by Lance and would recommend him and his team to anyone buying or selling a home."

Greg & Ingrid
North Shore Residents

"Lance has been our real estate advisor for many years and has always handled our real estate needs in a most satisfactory and efficient manner. He stands out as a truly sincere and trustworthy individual, which we believe is the biggest reason for his success. We have referred him to colleagues, friends and family and will continue to do so for many years to come."

Kim and Rebecca Lennox
North Shore Residents 

"We have had the pleasure of using Lance's services on two occasions now.  Both times we were in situations that pushed our comfort levels. During these stressful times, Lance was more than just a knowledgeable real estate agent; he was part psychologist and part financial cheerleader. Lance not only exercised real estate savvy, he displayed genuine concern for all our issues. Quite simply, he was at our beck and call and helped us deal with all aspects of buying and selling property. 

It is our pleasure to recommend Lance's services to anyone who values kindness, sincerity, integrity and professionalism.  Besides, how can you not love a man with 3 pugs!!"

 "I wanted to say a special thanks for your service. Dee Elliott had referred me to you with confidence, and her confidence was well placed. I am sure you are aware that the buying and selling of property and the subsequent move can be a stressful time. When one does all of that within a month, it is remarkable. It is thanks to the constant communication between you and Dee, and your willingness to respond to all my messages and emails, that things went so well.

MacDonald Realty is fortunate to have two such capable real estate agents. I value your integrity and am happy I put my trust in both you and Dee."

Anne Legasse

Lance has handled three purchases and two sales on my behalf, and I couldn't be more pleased with his service.  From start to finish, Lance provided exemplary service.    I highly recommend Lance’s services - he manages to make a potentially stressful transaction seamless and enjoyable.

Thanks again, Lance.”
