“As a first-time buyer I was unaware of all of the requirements in purchasing my first apartment. Tim assisted me on negotiations, documentation with the seller, and provided referrals to a mortgage broker, lawyer, and other necessary professionals. The whole process went very smoothly. I’m also happy with Tim’s after purchase follow up, he’s made sure all is well with me and my new home, including a few very nice house-warming gifts. I’m happy to refer Tim to anyone for their real estate needs!”

“Tim is capable and detailed. He sold our home in 48 hours for the full asking price. He also provided the services required for our new home. We left the stress to Tim as we felt confident in his abilities to get the job done in a very professional way.”
– D. & S. Beer – Sardis, BC
“We never thought twice about who we’d hire to sell our home and help us find a new one. We’ve known Tim a very long time and knew he’d take good care of us in this process”. Both the selling and buying processes were timely and well managed by Tim and his professional approach! We have worked with him on three transactions now. We have and will refer him, with enthusiasm, to our family, friends and associates!”

“My husband and I decided to sell our home in West Abbotsford and we gave Tim Barrett an opportunity to present his real estate services to list our home. We interviewed another REALTOR® but we found Tim’s professionalism and detailed overview of his services to be very reassuring. We retained Tim to list our home and we ended up with a high volume of showings and offers right away. We sold our home within the first month for more than asking price. Tim took care of all the details from beginning to end. We wouldn’t hesitate to refer Tim for anyone needing to buy or sell real estate.”
– S. & S. Anderson – Abbotsford, BC
Tim, the overall experience was excellent! The strategy that you used based on the market conditions worked very well. You also made a great effort to work with my tenant in a respectful manner to get my Kitsilano condo ready to show (and look incredible) for the marketing pictures and the open houses.
My expectations were exceeded with the deal we made (over asking price), as well as the time that it took to sell. You also paid a lot of attention to detail, asking lots of different questions in order to get answers to the buyers’ anticipated questions.
I liked that you always kept me updated, in great detail, with what was happening. Mostly, I liked that you sold my property in under a week and got over asking price!” I’m extremely happy with the outcome!
– A. Frustaci – Kitsilano, BC
This was our 8th transaction with Mr. Barrett. Once again, he came through for us in selling our home of 6 years. Not only did we get the price we wanted for our house, but we got it in record time. The market conditions are not the greatest right now, however, he had our house sold in 10 days! Mr. Barrett is a very well-respected REALTOR® and this assisted us immensely with the sale of our home. We can’t say enough positive things about Mr. Barrett, not only as a REALTOR®, but as a person as well. I have chatted with many realtors over the years as we invest in real estate and like my wife and I discussed, nobody has anything but good to say about the way he does business. A true professional at his craft, we highly recommend him!

“Tim was helpful, personable, reliable and agreeable. He took us wherever we needed to go to find our new home. We would work with him again…without a doubt!”

“Tim is my son, I found that he acted professionally as a realtor for the sale of my home at all times. He was confident of what he could do to sell my home and did it in a timely manner, it went very smoothly. As well, I’m very happy with the new home he found for me and the renovations that he coordinated with a very good contractor, who did great work and was on time and on budget”
– M. Barrett– Abbotsford, BC
“I was referred to Tim by a close friend, and as a first-time buyer, I wasn’t clear on the whole process of purchasing a condo. Tim gave me the confidence early on that it would be a smooth task. It wasn’t long before we found the perfect home for me. I’m happy to refer Tim to anyone for their real estate needs!”
– N. Nienhuis– Abbotsford, BC
As a retired Realtor I tend to set the bar high. Tim met or exceeded our expectations every time. We had tried another Realtor previous to Tim and decided to keep looking. Moving from the island creates some time issues but Tim made himself available whenever we scheduled a trip to the Fraser Valley. Tim’s local knowledge and personality proved invaluable to us in making a purchase we are very happy with. I give Tim very high marks and recommend his Realtor services.

“Travis and I just wanted to take a moment and say thank-you again for assisting us in selling our place and finding us our dream home! Every day we are still discovering a cool new feature in the new house. We could not be happier with our purchase and just wanted to let you know how much we have appreciated having you as our realtor. You kept us calm through the ups and down of the process and were so quick to respond even to the most minor of our questions. We have enjoyed working with you and will not hesitate to pass your name along to all of our friends and family.”
– T. & J. Friesen– Abbotsford, BC
“From day one, Tim impressed us with his professionalism and his ability to make us feel valued as clients. He really listened and took the time to find out our needs and wants. As first-time home buyers, we benefited from Tim’s willingness to educate and inform us at each step of the sometimes, complicated home-buying process. We wanted to find just the right place in which to raise our kids, a place that truly felt like home, the kind of place we wouldn’t have to move from for years to come. Tim never rushed us, and with his help we found the perfect place in Sardis. We recommend his services to anyone who is planning to buy or sell a home.”
– K. & A. Krikke– Sardis, BC
“We were very happy with the way Tim helped us with the selling of our old house in Abbotsford, and very much enjoyed the way he took the time to help us find our new residence in Carriage Lane, a 55+ retirement community. He also showed us what others had done to the condos that they had bought in the complex we were moving in to. We both enjoy our new place and are very happy with its location, where everything is so convenient and quick to get to. We have met a lot of new people here and enjoy the Bingo at the clubhouse a lot.”
– W. & J. Cunningham– Abbotsford, BC
“My wife and I were first-time home buyers and neither of us knew a single thing about it. We started looking by ourselves but quickly realized that a realtor was a necessity. We called Tim and hegot back to us quickly. After getting pre-approved for a mortgage, we soon started receiving emails from him with listings in our price range. Luckily for us, we only had to visit a few places before we settled on a purchase. Probably the one thing that impressed us about Tim’s service was that we always felt like he had our backs, and this was especially important since this was our first real estate experience. Whether we were viewing a property, making offers, or trudging through paperwork, Tim always made sure that everything was very clear to us, so we always knew what we were getting into. This can potentially be a terrifying experience for a first-time buyer but the right realtor, it can go very smoothly. For us, Tim was that right realtor and we would happily recommend his professional, caring services to anyone looking to buy or sell.”
– D. & S. McDonald – Abbotsford, BC
“We would also like to take a moment to commend Tim on the great job he did for us in finding our new home. We have never met someone so professional and on top of his game when it came to finding our new home! From his patience through our month-long search to his quality and prompt service, as well as his superior knowledge of all areas of the industry and great attention to detail. He was always there at the drop of a hat when we needed him. We were also very impressed with the homework and note taking he had done on properties previous to us seeing and considering viewing them, which made it very easy and time efficient for us to pick and rule out properties that we might want to look at given the time we had to work with after our town home was sold. Not to mention how personable and easy to get along with he was. Very impressive! I hope you have him signed to some sort of long-term deal, he is truly a “diamond in the rough” in the real estate industry. Should we ever do this again, the choice of who we use will be a very simple one. Thank you again!”

This past year, my father found it necessary to downsize out of our long-term family home into a smaller more manageable residence. As you can imagine, this began as a very stressful and uncertain event for dad. Through an excellent recommendation from dad’s new neighbours next door, we contacted Tim Barrett of to see if he could assist us. Tim was professional, respectful and compassionate throughout the whole process. He really listened to my dad and made sure that he understood and was comfortable with every detail of the process. Tim went the extra mile to supply referrals for trades people to complete simple updates and repairs that increased the value of the home. Tim was very mindful of arranging showing times and open houses that worked best with dad’s schedule. I’d been told that moving is one of the three greatest stressors in life. We are happy to recommend Tim to any and all who are in the market to buy or sell their homes. Thank you so much Tim!!

Tim, it was a pleasure working with you – everything was done promptly and in our best interests. You managed to market and sell the property under a very ambitious timeline, and had prospective buyers in the wings even after we had an accepted offer (prior to subject removal). I liked everything you did, from the brochures and online marketing to the Open Houses and offer presentations. I can’t say there was anything you could have done better.– E. Kwan.
Amazing! Tim you were able to work quickly & get things done within our tight timeline. The marketing materials & communications from you was fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.– E. & A. Kwan– Abbotsford, BC
