What the people are saying...

I used to receive a lot of real estate flyers but it was through a hand written note that I discovered Greg, who, in the past year, has helped me with two sales and a purchase. He is a consummate professional with extraordinary patience and a willingness to go above and beyond for his clients, not to mention his sixth sense for knowing what I was looking for before I did. Add Cathy into the mix and I can't imagine a better team! They are loads of fun and have a great sense of style for giving the home you're selling that WOW factor everyone is looking for. It has been a pleasure to work with someone who demonstrates repeatedly that he truly cares about his work and his clients!

Greg came highly recommended .. and I found out why!  His insight, expertise, warm presence, and attention to detail made the process of finding and purchasing the right place a good one :)  So, now I join the ranks of those who highly recommend Greg as a fantastic realtor to work with.  I only semi-jokingly call him my real-estate-therapist.  ThankU Greg!!!

"Greg and Cathy are a dream team! Greg is a professional, attentive, real estate agent, who made us feel comfortable and important during a major transition in our lives. Greg was always ready to help and made himself available at any time, to offer assistance or a friendly ear. We would never hesitate to recommend Greg's services to anyone who's needing a realtor. Cathy added her wonderful sense of style and taste to our home, bringing a personal touch and a meticulous eye for detail that was an added bonus! We highly recommend Greg FInlay for your real estate needs. Thanks again Greg and Cathy for everything you've done for us and our family."

"When I first met Greg it wasn’t under the best circumstances. I needed the sale of my house to happen sooner rather than later. He was friendly and professional. I decided to give it a shot with Greg. The whole process of selling my house was like a roller coaster ride. I was co owner with another individual. The other individual was resisting selling and making it very difficult for myself and the sale of the home. Greg was the go between person. He was always positive and professional. He went above and beyond to make sure this sale that I wanted so badly went through. We both endured so much instability because of the other owner. Greg worked behind the scenes and that didn’t go unnoticed. I appreciate all of his hard work in making this sale and getting me out of this messy situation. I couldn’t be more happier with the end result. I will definitely be coming to Greg when I purchase another home."

"Greg was a pleasure to work with. We had a tight timeline for the sale of our house and he was very accommodating and helpful. We found Greg to be extremely professional, a prompt and clear communicator, a diligent negotiator on our behalf, and most of all, completely honest and trustworthy. Needless to say, we highly recommend him!"

- Melissa Lennea

"Definitely recommend Greg! We were glad to have found him and have him guide us through the purchase of our first home. He made the process easy and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt he really understood our wants/needs and genuinely seemed to care about what was going to be best for us. In the end Greg helped us make the right decision - we’re very happy with our new home!"

- Sarah Hemsley

"If I could pass on the most important info to anyone looking for a realtor this is what it would be... Greg took all the stress out of selling our home!! We were new to this process and it was so smooth and easy. We had many questions and Greg helped us with them all. There was never a time that we felt uncomfortable with the process, including the negotiations, which made us feel so at ease. If you are going to buy or sell a home in this tricky market, Greg is the realtor you want to help guide you through the process!"

- SL

"Our mortgage broker recommended Greg Findlay to us after we had made the decision to buy a new home. This was a difficult decision for us after being out of the market for 7 years, and finding the real estate landscape had changed a lot.

Greg helped us keep our faith that we could find what we wanted, and at times we felt we were so picky it was never going to happen. But Greg encouraged us, and helped us adjust our expectations somewhat, and in the end, we got exactly what we had hoped for.

It was so good to have someone we could trust to guide us through this process.

And...we got our place for under asking price! Thanks so much Greg!"

"Recently, my sister and I were faced with what, to us, was the daunting task of selling our long time family home. It was fortunate that we happened to meet Greg Finlay at the Sutton kiosk in Landsdowne Mall. Greg became our realtor in a process that requires the knowledge of, and experience with, an ever changing market. He understands and works diligently to meet his clients’ and his own high expectations. We benefited from Greg’s informed suggestions which reflected current data and research. We appreciated his consideration of our hopes and his ability to achieve positive results. Greg was always quick to reply to messages, answer questions and allay concerns. His great sense of humour and people skills made a challenging endeavour less stressful and, ultimately, successful. He has our trust and we would confidently recommend him to sellers and buyers who are looking for someone who gets results.

Thank-you for all you did, Greg!"

- Sydney Reid

"Greg was very good to work with. He understood the kind of place we were looking for and right away showed us many places that appealed to us. He also was honest in letting us know which areas of the cities were safe to be with a family as we don’t know the cities very well. Greg was prompt and professional but not stuffy! Thanks Greg!! I recommend you to everyone!! 😁"

- Darrelyn Billey

"We've worked with Greg on 3 Real Estate transactions...each time Greg was able to apply his expertise towards closing the sale in the most favourable terms for our family. He's a pro."

- J E

"Greg made our move a smooth transition doing everything possible to help us through the downsizing drama. We could count on him for his honesty and professionalism. He would undoubtably be our future agent. Thankyou Greg for a job well done."

- Sid & Laraine Bowles

"I am pleased to recommend the excellent services of my realtor, Greg Finlay of Sutton Group Seafair Realty. His expert advice, including staging and choice of photographer/videographer for the virtual tour ensured we had an agreement for sale within 1 week of listing (higher than the listed price).  All of his services exceeded my expectations, for which I am grateful."

- DK

"Greg worked in tandem with Danielle Huff on our behalf. This was a new situation for me as Administrator of the estate responsible for the sale of the condo. Greg was most helpful in guiding me through this more complicated process in a timely, professional manner. I appreciated both his and Danielle's diligent attention to the entire process.

Thanks to both!!"

- Denys Lewis

"Greg is so easy to work with! We’ve now used Greg for multiple sales and we love how attentive and understanding he is. He makes the process of buying and selling feel so easy and knows how to eliminate or manage the typical stresses involved with ease. We definitely recommend Greg for a smooth Real Estate experience."

- Meg Cro

"We worked with a few realtors before we met Greg and found he was the most professional and attentive to details. We were looking for a home to live in ourselves, in this very challenging market. Greg was definitely the right person to advise us and negotiate on our behalf to make our home purchase happen."

- Sonny H

"I would, without hesitation, recommend Greg Finlay to anyone seeking an honest, highly professional guide to the current real estate market. It was a great pleasure to watch Greg at work...in actions reminiscent of a conductor, he was able to orchestrate a quick sale for far above what I had hoped for. Thanks so much Greg!"

- L Franklin

"Hi Greg I Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the hard work you put into finding me my new home. This was an extremely emotional decision for me to make, but you made it so easy and you worked so hard to find it for me. You knocked on doors asking if anyone wanted to sell their house in Tsawwassen Springs and put so much time and effort into finding me the perfect place.

I love my new home and have settled in well. 

Thank you also for the fine efforts you put into listing my house and staging it. You did a great job turning it from 'dated' into more modern.  

It was a pleasure to work with you and I would highly recommend you as a realtor. You not only work hard but are so patient and kind. I know that anyone using you as their realtor will have the same experience I did.   

Regards"

"Thank you Greg for your diligent efforts in helping us to find our new home. We appreciate your professionalism and patience on the journey, during the brisk market conditions in Vancouver.  We also appreciate your willingness to present and consider various options with regard to our purchase.  While the listing realtor was not accepting back-up offers, we know you made an extra effort to stay in contact and express our keen desire to present an offer if the current accepted offer was not successful. Immediately upon notification from the listing realtor that the accepted offer was unsuccessful, you called us and presented our offer.  Also, it worked out very well for us to assume the current tenant, which took extra effort on your part, and we thank you for this. Your calm, professional manner made a stressful event much easier to deal with.  We wish you much success with your future clients. 

Sincerely,"

- Mark & Rebekah Sorley

"Greg was professional, quick to respond and very reassuring. It was a pleasure to work with him. He worked hard on our behalf in the sale of our home. He kept us informed throughout the entire process and was readily available to answer questions or solve problems. We highly recommend him!"

- Ann Crowe

"5 STARS!

You can always tell a good realtor by their attentiveness and quick response. Greg has both these attributes and more and our experience with him was excellent. We made our move from Ontario to South Surrey BC without physically seeing our purchase and our friends thought we were crazy....but a great realtor makes you feel like distance isn't a factor. Once we communicated our expectations and limitations with Greg, he did all the leg work for us and took video's of potential hot spots and really analyxed the homes as if he were purchasing them for himself. Because we were constricted in time, he moved quickly trying to find the right location and home that fir our needs. Greg was right there... making us feel comfortable with our house hunting and eventual purchase. With his quick response and attentiveness we didn't feel like we were missing a thing, especially having never left Ontario. So... would we recommend Greg Finlay? Absolutely!"

I had to sell a house on behalf of a distant relative.  With no prior experience, I needed guidance from an experienced professional.  Greg met that need in spades.  The things that particularly impressed me included the following:

1. Living in the community, he is intimately familiar with the ebb and flow of the market. That encompasses timing for selling, to introduce the property at the right time. The middle of winter may not necessarily draw the highest number of potential buyers.

2. Pricing the product. “If it's priced right, it'll sell!” There was no need to advertise “new price” which suggests the vendor has been dreaming, or “motivated seller” which implies a sense of panic.

3. Preparation for sale. What is important to do, what is not, both inside and outside the home.

4. Staging. Kathy did the staging, needed because the insides of the home were too cluttered. And Kathy has that artistic eye for getting it “just right.”

The property sold quickly with no negative surprises.
I would recommend Greg, a consummate professional, without reservation.
