What My Clients Are Saying
We had the pleasure of working with Jim through our process of downsizing. We needed to get things done within a short time period, and he was able to walk us through every step of the way making the transition smooth and easy for us. He was knowledgeable, honest and always available to answer our many questions. Most of all, we appreciated his ability to represent us and meet our needs. He exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Jim is the absolute best!
Jim is the absolute best! I’ve used him twice in the past and wouldn’t hesitate to contact him if I needed in the future. He is reliable, professional and understanding and I’m so glad I had for his help with my last purchase!
Emily Surine
We will be recommending Jim to our friends and family!
My family received Jim’s name through a referral (which says a lot to begin with) and we weren’t the least bit disappointed. From the very beginning, Jim put our minds at ease and talked us through the entire process. When needed, he was very frank with us, but through that, built no unrealistic expectations and hence, we were able to successfully close on the sale which saw a win-win scenario for everyone involved. He was helpful every step of the way, including the move to our new home, and with the final bits of the exchange of keys. He was professional in handling our queries and as stated earlier, putting our minds at ease. Without a shadow of a doubt, we will be recommending Jim to our friends and family that may require his services. One thing is for sure, should we need this sort of service again, Jim will be our first (and hopefully only) call!

For buying or selling a home, I highly recommend Jim!
I own a home staging company called Ready Set Show Staging, and have had the opportunity to work with many realtors on the North Shore and the Lower Mainland … We have been staging for Jim Pilkington since the beginning of this year and consider ourselves lucky. Jim is one of the hardest working, professional, caring realtors I have had the pleasure of working with. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients. For buying or selling a home, I highly recommend Jim because I know you will be well taken care of.

Jim is a Realtor and a gentleman!
Jim is a Realtor and a gentleman. Truly one of the most decent, kind, communicative and effective people I have ever met. Both my daughter and I feel blessed to have made his acquaintance and will be using his services for future real estate needs. You can’t go wrong with someone of Jim’s calibre and integrity.
