Reviews of Mike Stewart Personal Vancouver Real Estate Corporation (Real Estate Agency)

fred obrien

We would recommend anyone selling in Vancouver to seriously consider using Mike Stewart as their realtor. He brings to his clients many years of solid experience in the Vancouver real estate market, and Mike has an intuitive sense of how to maximize the potential appeal of a home for as many buyers as possible. Crucially, Mike is a very skilled and strategic negotiator, knowing exactly how to guide you as the seller through negotiations, so that you end up with the most favourable outcome possible. Negotiating a sale is definitely Mike's strong suit, and his skill helped us greatly with our recent townhouse sale in the West End of Vancouver. Thanks Mike! Janek and Israel

My wife and I have been working with Mike for almost 2 years and only just purchased our first place through him. He has been incredibly patient and more importantly, honest throughout the entire process. Mike has a great deal of knowledge of all of the homes we viewed and was clear in describing the pros and cons of each neighborhood, building and strata. I would recommend Mike to all of my friends and family looking to buy or sell a home in Vancouver.

We first met Mike 15 years ago when we used him as our realtor to purchase a condo in downtown Vancouver and used him again when we recently sold it. He is professional and very knowledgeable about the Vancouver real estate market and is very intuitive as to his client’s needs. After we had asked to see several properties that were not meeting our needs, he knew exactly which area best suited what we were looking for and suggested a condo that turned out to be the perfect one. He made both the buying and selling process very seamless and easy and we’d highly recommend choosing Mike as their real estate agent. We’ll definitely use him again in the future. - Larry and Verna

Michael has always been a fantastic resource , especially for what's happening in the presale market, and I am happy to recommend his services.

Brayden Dyczkowski

Mike's a busy agent who understands the market, is persistent and gets the job done, and is a seasoned negotiator. He cares about his clients!

Penman Properties

Mike did a great job assigning my contract. He is very knowledgeable and professional and is highly recommended!

Kathryn Huang

Mike Stewart was a pleasure to work with and provide expertise in a field we had little knowledge of. He is prompt and pays attention to detail. Even after the completion he was willing to help in any way he could. I would strongly recommend him.

Justin Smith

I subscribed to Mike Stewart's VIP Pre-construction email list thinking that I was going to get informed on any pre-sales buildings. My experience was terrible. He called me every day and left messages until I finally picked up. When he realized that I was already working with another realtor, he abruptly ended the conversation and hung up. Obviously this guy is only interested in getting business from people and making money!! I could have recommended him to a family member or friend but now I definitely won't.

Stephanie Wong

Mike is the go to guy. He knows the market like no other. Very patient with potential buyers. He will make sure that all your needs and concerns are addressed. He is a wealth of knowledge. Can't recommend him enough!

Full disclosure, I’m a realtor. I’ve only been one for a couple of years, and haven’t benefited from this crazy market. I have known Mike for a lot longer than I’ve been a realtor. I’ve read about Mike in the news lately. I think what is being lost is why he did what he did. Was it the right thing to do…maybe not, but he was trying to help his clients and that’s why he has been successful as a realtor. There is nothing illegal about what Mike did, it just doesn’t sit right with some. The way the government rammed this tax through also doesn’t sit right. This government has been doing nothing for a very long time, and finally felt enough heat, close enough to re-election time, that they decided to take some action…way too late to make any difference for Vancouverites. Change the rules and have them take effect quickly, that’s not really a problem, but penalizing people who bought without these rules is not right. Trust me, I think there should have been way more regulations on foreign buyers, a long time ago. Mike would probably agree with me, because, despite what lots of people have been saying, he’s a decent ethical guy who does not like it that home ownership in Vancouver is out of reach for many. We both have kids, and have talked about it in that context. How about complaining that the Feds and the Quebec government are letting immigrant investors enter through Quebec and come to Vancouver. What’s the point of closing that program everywhere in Canada except for Quebec. How about the banks, facilitating movement of money from China, that they know is illegal. As for affordability, the City of Vancouver is not as innocent as the Mayor would have you believe either. Ridiculous wait times for permits, high cost to developers…these are things that get passed on to homebuyers, not to mention significant increases to the property tax base when a development is occupied….more of a money grab. I’ve known Mike for years, and always found him to be knowledgeable, prompt with information, honest and straightforward. He is a professional, ethical, and very hard working guy. He’s also a good decent guy, and I don’t buy any of the ‘caring only about his wallet” or that he doesn’t care about Vancouver or affordability business, either. The Media puts out flashy headlines, and benefits when those reading them don’t bother to dig into the issues any deeper. Dig a little!

Charles Soong

For anyone looking for a realtor with an ethical standard, Mike Stewart would not be the one to go to. Recently in the 2019 Vancouver Real Estate Investment Summit, Mike was supposed to provide commentary on factors he thinks would influence the real estate market. However, he took a nasty turn when he decided to engage in a diatribe against the Chinese government as an argument for why he believed the real estate market in Vancouver would rebound. He made extremely ignorant, rude and aggressive comments on subjects he not only is not qualified to talk about, but which were entirely out of place at such a forum. He portrayed himself as a mercenary who relishes in the prospect of misfortune (conflict in Hong Kong) for achieving his own economic gain of having increased buyers in Vancouver's real estate. Both in an business and personal context, I would not want to associate with this individual.

Mike helped me sell my condo a little while back and has since been a trusted advisor. I always turn to Mike and his experience and advice when the need arises.

Marko D

Mike just got my husband and I into our first home and was a pleasure to deal with. Friendly, courteous, and always prompt with answers. Even after completing the purchase, Mike is available to help which I really appreciate being a first time home buyer! Highly recommend.

Trevor K

Excellent realtor! I work with many in my financial planning practice and Mike is whom I trust with my personal business. High level of expertise, great communications skills, and has an integrity and dependability that is unmatched. I am very fortunate to have Mike on my side.

Tony

We used Mike to sell our condo. It was in a challenging part of town but his team got the job done. We got the price that we were expecting and closed the deal without any issues.

Klaus Rode

Mike is really professional and responsive to all the questions we had when we purchased our property. Highly recommended!!

Lant Lutterodt

Mike and his team were always quick to respond, provided quality information and really good advice throughout the buying process. Would go back to Mike for any future real estate transactions.

Sat Oberoi

Mike Stewart helped me buy a condo with my ex, sell that when we split up and buy another condo for myself. My experience was very positive. I think Mike was knowledgeable about the market and helped me along the way with each transaction. Buying a condo on my own was a challenge but Mike was there for me answering questions, checking out properties with me, getting the strata minutes to me quickly and helping me with all the paperwork and details. His team was helpful as I do not own a car. They picked me up and drove me around when I needed to deliver cheques on a timely basis. I feel quite happy about my experience with Mike and his team and would use them again; although I hope I don't have to.

Doug Atkinson

Mike Stewart has consistently proved that dedication to his clients, hard work, and extensive product knowledge are what you should be looking for in a real estate professional. I recommend his services completely.

John Maxon (Wolf Pack Home Inspection)

Great guy, tons of experience and very knowledgeable.

Loan Mai

Mike is great. He made the experience of buying and selling as stress-free as possible with his infectious enthusiasm, and endless patience. He also gets back to you VERY promptly with every question you may have - before, during and even after closing the purchase. He's also extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market, and won't sugar-coat things for you. All in all, I'd thoroughly recommend him.

Terry Moore

Mike helped me purchase a condo in Vancouver's Fairview neighborhood and the experience was fantastic! He was helpful, polite, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about properties in Vancouver. He helped me avoid bad buildings and steered high quality condos that were just right for me. Thanks again Mike!

Larry Heinzlmeir

Mike is definitely the realtor you're looking for. We bought with him our property 5 years ago and we just sold it with him again. He is totally trustworthy, friendly and his knowledge about real estate and market is outstanding. The most important thing during these 5 years we contact him few times for advises about our property and he was always super nice giving us gold recommendations that drove us toward a brilliant sale. We'll hire Mike again in the future for sure. Thanks again!

daylan butchart

Mike is very professional. i totally recommend . Thank you

Corey M

I've worked with Mike Steward on multiple real estate deals. He has been quick to respond to my queries and action on problems we faced. I can count on Mike to turn documents around quickly.

Liam Rines

Mike is one of the best realtors in the city! His knowledge and negotiation skills are second to none!

Erik Gretland

Mike is great to work with, lots of knowledge of the market, and detailed information on pre-sales.

David McCarthy

MIke Stewart has helped us buy and sell our home twice. In each case, he gave us prompt, friendly, reliable, and honest service. He works so hard and made himself or his capable team at all times. I appreciated his professionalism when he counseled us not to be too greedy as a seller - without shortchanging ourselves. And, he provided incredible strategic advice to us as a buyer - very experienced negotiator who respected our needs. We were high maintenance clients - and he always welcomed our feedback. Can't say enough good things about him. Short list him.

Joel Stanley Robertson

We worked with Mike during both the purchase and sale of our Main Street apartment - both excellent experiences. Mike is extremely professional and highly knowledgable of the Vancouver real estate market. Furthermore, he is always available when you need to get ahold of him, and takes every step necessary to ensure that the client is taken care of. I would absolutely recommend working with Mike.

Ruzeen Rezvie

Always keeps me up to date on presales very prompt in showing .Thanks for selling my Spectrum.

Luis B.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike for a purchase in November of 2019. He is a successful realtor, but that never reduced the attention he paid to my family and me. For our part, we always found it easy to get in touch with Mike if we had questions and concerns. Our purchase had some complexities, but Mike helped us navigate through them with ease. I would highly recommend Mike. The Vancouver market is complex, so it’s good to have a true professional at your side.

Luis Hooper

Mike Stewart knows his stuff!

Shameel Damji

Very helpful, VERY knowledgeable, no BS, great response times. Thanks Mike!

Kevin Price

Great team of professionals.

Jim Barnum

Incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. Can't speak highly enough of Mike

Theresa Webber

Mike has assisted my family and relatives in purchasing a couple of presale condos thus far. He was very comprehensive when explaining the pros and cons of presale/preowned, and was also invaluable helpful, at one time, in giving us many options for preowned condos. Mike's website is also full of useful information for people to learn about the real estate market in greater Vancouver. It is unfortunate that he is hit with many negative reviews lately, mostly by people who simply read the news and had never dealt with him before. I'm an Asian Canadian who grew up in Vancouver. All I can see is that he was doing his job in trying to protect his clients' interests, believing that his foreign clients whom already signed contracts were treated unfairly. If the government proposed laws that would harm us BC residents, he would've worked just as hard to find solutions for us.

Sean CH

Mike Stewart helped my brother and I purchase pre-sale condos in downtown Vancouver and he was fantastic throughout the entire process. We strongly recommend Mike to help you purchase a pre-sale or an existing property in the Vancouver area! It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely work with him again. Absolutely amazing!!!!!

Chilwin Cheng

It was awesome to work with Mike. He was able to get us an amazing result during uncertain times. He took care of all of our needs and walked us through the process so that there were no worries on our end. We will definitely be using Mike again.

Sheilen Shefali Raja

Mike has been amazing to work with and assisted me with all aspects of my sale and purchase. Definitely will work with him again.

Kathryn Hallanzy

Mike is an outstanding realtor. He provided me with all the tools for me to make the best possible decision. Always checking in, being patient, and supporting me every step of the way. Thanks to Mike, I found exactly the place that I was looking for, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Kristen Walmsley

Mike Stewart in short is an exceptional Real Estate professional. His knowledge of the market, and connections in the new development world is an advantage I think any buyer or seller needs to embrace. His presence online is hard to beat and something we felt was very impressive and a resource not to be overlooked. From start to finish in the real estate process...Mike Stewart and his team are plus 5 star++

Karren Stewart

Mike did an excellent job representing us in the purchase of our first home. He helped us weather the volatile Vancouver housing market with ease, and when the time came helped us to construct an offer that was both successful and below what we were expecting to pay. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone buyer or selling their house in Vancouver.

chris scobie

Mike has been my real estate go-to guy for almost 10 years because he is knowledgeable, helpful and most of all, he always works diligently in his clients' best interests. His involvement with foreign buyers' property tax is a testament to that.

Adam Scalena

Mike is a great guy and his team is very thorough with every aspect of both buying and selling real estate.

fatima karmali

My spouse and I first met Mike over 8 years ago, when we purchased our first home in the Vancouver market At that time, we really appreciated his patience and expertise. His insight was extremely important to us. We recently called on Mike to be our agent of choice for the sale of our home. Once again, Mike exceeded our expectations. During the entire sale process, we were fully informed. Mike was responsive to our questions/ needs. We look forward to working with Mike and his Team again. Fred and Terry

We have sold and bought many properties with him and I've always been extremely satisfied with his integrity and commitment to service and great results. We strongly recommend him to everyone here and we due to all of our friends on a consistent regular basis. Mike is great!

Tim Pritchard

Mike Stewart is a real professional. He responded promptly to any concern we had. Mike was detail oriented and he helped explaining the selling process of our condo downtown. We needed help to find an electrician and helped us to find one in minutes. I would recommend him without hesitation.

T N

I had the pleasure to work with Mike to find my ‘dream home ‘. It’s so great to have him on your side to guide you through all the formalities and obstacles along the way. Outstanding! Just amazing! Thank you Mike!!!

Teresa Abbruzzese

Top notch grease ball. Definitely will get you the unit and price you want. Skills include: cutting in lines for presales. Slick Rick talking his way into them paying over market value for your property. Wearing mirrored shades so those suckers working against him never see his snakes eyes. Top notch.

Raymond Tam

I have worked with Mike Stewart and his professionalism and service was top notch. I was actually quite surprised how much time he was able to provide considering he is a very busy realtor. Due to Mike and his developer connections he was able to get us into a Pre-Sale that we had targeted when 2 other realtors we used could not! I could not be happier.

Roxanne Kingsbury

Mike is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. I met him in one of UBC's programs, where he had been invited as a speaker. I was very impressed with him when he sold my house as he provided me with tons of real estate market news and advice and many useful tools on his website. It is a pleasure to work with Mike since he can take care everything for me! I would highly recommend Mike to people looking to buy or sell a house in Vancouver.

austin m

Mike helped us buy our dream home and we couldn’t have been happier to have him as our realtor. He was super professional, provided great insight and feedback to any questions we had, and helped us navigate the whole process. We felt confident and happy to have Mike as our realtor. Highly recommend Mike to everyone who is buying or selling a home!

Martin Gagnon

There are many great things to say about Mike but I can think of a few that really stand out. Mike makes the buying experience stress free even in a crazy market like Vancouver. He is knowledgable and well respected by other agents. When it comes time to make the offer, Mike provides the necessary information and guidance while making sure all along that you are comfortable with your offer and decision. I felt that I was in good hands!

K Lin

His e-mails are informative, but they seem to be marketing schemes aimed at a select few only. I've responded with "I'm interested" to each property that I've been interested in for about a year. I have never received a reply back to follow up.

Debbie Battler

I hired Mike to represent me while purchasing a pre-sale condo in Vancouver. When notices about a homeowner’s walkthrough from the developer weren’t sent to me (email address typo), the developer’s representative went ahead with the inspection without me. Mike was cc’ed on these emails and never noticed the issue or voiced concern when we didn’t show up for the walkthrough. When I found out about the missed walkthrough through my lawyer, I asked Mike over email to help me resolve this issue by getting another walkthrough scheduled. He called me to talk to me about the situation and told me he would follow up with the developer and would get back to me. He never contacted me again. I worked with the developer directly and had another walkthrough scheduled. The deal closed, I moved into my new place, and I still have never heard back from him nor have I received any congratulations from him—even though he has received payment from the developer for being my realtor. I am disappointed in his handling of this situation, and his support as my realtor overall. When I go to sell my property I will be looking for a different realtor to represent me.

Chad Watts

Mike is the most hard working, honest and helpful realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has a stellar reputation and there are many realtors out there who try to emulate him and to do as well as he does.

Ryan Maas

It was great working with Mike. He was very professional and focused on what I wanted as a client. Thanks Mike!

Flo Weller

Mike was incredible at keeping me informed every step of the buying experience. His analysis was invaluable for pricing on the sell side as well.

Alex Holme

Worst and shadiest realtor in town. Do your research. This guy is a right wing nut job and hands his clients over to his assistants. When you hire him, you get 0 personal touch.

Natalia Fil

We have completed multiple transactions with Mike Stewart, and he has always made us feel very comfortable with a complex process, and especially during a pandemic. He is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, very responsive to enquiries and always willing to provide support. His team provides impeccable service (shout out to Marco). He helped us set expectations for the sale of our property in a pandemic, and helped us speedily negotiate a multiple offer situation on the property we purchased. All in all, a smooth process which we appreciated.

J Galpin

Mike is an excellent realtor. My wife and I have purchased a condo, and Mike was there to guide us every step of the way. In addition to being patient and highly responsive throughout the process, we benefited from Mike's extensive knowledge base about the Vancouver market. We liked the fact that Mike is a "straight shooter", and says it as it is. If a building or area has problems, Mike does not hesitate in sharing that info. There were a few complexities in our buying process, and Mike was accommodating in this regard, being able to re-evaluate and re-start on short notice. I should also mention that Mike's assistant, Amy, is amazing. She was quickly able to generate efficient itineraries for showings, which was highly appreciated in light of our difficult schedule. I would recommend Mike 100%, and hopefully will work with him again!

Mike is so knowledgeable with the Vancouver Market. He has great relationships with the Developers and is able to get FIRST in line with most projects. A good resource to have.

gratn block

We recently used Mike to sell our unit in Vancouver and he was very helpful. Mike dealt with the tenant and the property management company in a very timely manner and we were able to sell out unit in a few weeks. What we thought was a complicated process Mike handled it professsionaly. Thank You
