Hey everybody, I'm slow at this Facebook thing. *I don't sign in often* 

Garth Raven thanks soooo much for the incredible job!!! I was just telling Chris last night that my favourite part of this whole experience so far has been you. Haha! Reaching out to my neighbours to sell my house was daunting but it has proven an amazing scenario. You went above and beyond! Truly! Professional to the upmost, yet relaxed and austere. I can't even begin to explain just how much you exceeded my expectations, but just know for a fact that you did!!

Garth was extraordinarily helpful in educating us on the workings of the Vancouver real estate market and the process of seeking out and purchasing our first home. We felt well valued beyond what might be considered the typical realtor-client relationship and came to trust Garth’s instincts and experience over the course of our search. Were it not for his patience in helping us make an informed investment in our first purchase I can say with confidence that we would have been as successful or confident in our choice of home. Garth is a hardworking and trustworthy individual prepared to make the extra effort to help his clients feel comfortable with their investment and for that we are grateful.

Hi Garth,
I promised you this a couple of weeks ago--and here it is at last. It's probably too long to suit your purposes--so just cut it or take whatever chunks you might find useful. I mean every word of it, however! and could easily add more, so if you'd like me to comment specifically on something I haven't mentioned, PLEASE just say so. I will be more than happy! ciao, Penny

Why is Garth Raven the best realtor ever?—because his vocation in life is to help others live happily. He is smart, open and knowledgeable about real estate and the North Shore and beyond. But more than that, he is a great judge of character with a keen sense of what a person is looking for in a property. He takes an interest in showing properties with the qualities a client is looking for. He offers occasional comments—but never advice or pressure. Garth is altogether professional. He understands the market and how to position a property for sale accurately, and is loyal, hard-working and determined when it comes to driving a bargain. Being his client made finding my home a true pleasure—and how many can say that about house-hunting!

Dear Garth,
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to your hard effort and professionalism in selling our house in North Vancouver under such a difficult period due to the worldwide recession. Your hard work created the seamless sales effort and showing, which did not miss any single opportunity to show our house. The best of all, your efforts to feed back the comments from the viewers in detail made us feel at ease and given us further hope and guidance. You are truly an exceptional realtor and hope your continuous success in Vancouver real estate market.

Garth has been amazing during our search for our first home in Canada. He helped us identify the ideal market areas that would fit our needs, targeted the best home values, and negotiated a price that ensured us of not only a great home, but an investment that would pay dividends in the future"

I had a very positive experience dealing with Garth from the first phone call to the final signing of the real estate documents through the lawyer. I gave Garth the financial boundaries and specifications as to what I was looking for, and he accommodated me totally, not trying to force me into a transaction that I was not prepared to enter into. Success was acheived within two weeks of meeting Garth, and there was no time wasted on either side of our dealings together. As a result I would recommend Garth to anyone who requires a reliable, forthright, and honest real estate agent.

If you are looking for a realtor who will really work for you, is great to deal with, instantly returns your calls, and keeps you informed about all aspects of the property, this is your man. He is a pleasure to work with and it's a shame there are not more realtors of his caliber in the business. I highly recommend him!

"While looking to purchase my first home, I had a number of concerns, ranging from monetary, quality of abode, to general things such as location. Garth listened to my concerns, and worked tirelessly in an effort to find a place that was good for me, not just good for his bottom line. For those not directly involved in the real estate business, it can be quite daunting and confusing; Garth worked hard for me to make this process as easy and stress-free as possible.
When I do return to the Real Estate market, I know I will do so with Garth as my agent; as people of his quality and professionalism are hard to find."

Ijust sent a congratulations to Garth regarding our leasing of the Mission location.
Just wanted you to know how appreciative I am of the extent Garth went to in order to make sure we were taken care of. The level of customer service was top of the charts and I’ve communicated this to everyone here involved. The fact that Garth always made himself available or how promptly he responded to his voice messages alone kept the stress levels to a minimum. Big kudos for Mr. Raven.
