Testimonials

Here's what my clients have to say...

Siu-Kae Yeong & Marc Trudeau
Barry Pockay was our real estate agent and he was AWESOME! He used to do law and is excellent in negotiation and strategy. He is also very ethical and non- pressuring. He would always calm us down rather than make us worried that something would sell (which a lot of realtors try to do). My sense was that Barry's business is based on clients that continue to return to him and he is one of the few real estate agents that truly cares that his clients are happy with their home. 

Marc and I had some different priorities in what we wanted and Barry was great at ensuring that we didn't just pick a place that one of us liked. He helped us find a property that both of us are extremely happy with. He also talked us out of a few places when he felt one of us might have been making more of a compromise and wouldn't be happy long term.  He is also very knowledgable about buildings and renovations.

Barry works super hard and he was able to move very quickly on deals.  He was there when you needed advice and was always willing to put in extra time if you needed it. He was also very patient, diplomatic and nice.  At the same time, he is an excellent negotiator and would hold his ground when dealing with the other party. As well, he is thorough in market research and comparison so you have a true understanding of the quality of building. He's one of the few realtors who knows buildings well and he goes through strata minutes with you in detail to ensure you're not getting a bad buy that looks nice. In summary, our initial real estate agent who recommended him to us said, "there are only 3 real estate agents I would trust, and Barry is the one I'd pick to sell my mom's house or help my family buy property." Marc and I both found this to be true.




Stephen and Kathryn Aberle
We’re writing to thank you for the tremendous service you provided in helping us with the recent sale of our apartment. We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years and have had good and, sometimes, not so good experiences working with REALTORS®. We’ve never worked with anyone who offered anything close to the level of service you provided.

Really, Barry, you have spoiled us! Your advice and assistance with regard to every aspect of the sale – market study, preparation, presentation, timing, marketing, to final negotiation and closing arrangements – were excellent and extremely valuable. While we were having the apartment renovated and staged you essentially assumed the role of project manager, attending to every detail and making sure everything kept working smoothly for us and the home stagers, tradespeople, building management and other residents.

Your marketing work was outstanding. Brochures, postcards, web and paper advertisements were excellent – informative, well laid out, handsomely executed, widely and strategically distributed. Your combination of professionalism, patience, calm and good humour made the whole process – which could have been a nightmare – pleasant from beginning to end. The end result was that over a three day opening we received four offers, and sold the property for substantially more than our asking price.

We couldn’t have done it without you. Many thanks and congratulations for a fantastic job.



Todd Grenier and Airika Owen
Barry was the ideal Realtor. He was up front and honest right from the start. We always felt that he would be candid and informative and that he had our best interests at heart. When selling our place he was consistently professional, helpful and patient. From helping us decide what to clear out and how to stage it, to holding open houses almost every weekend until it sold. After he sold it and we started looking for our new home, he was patient and thorough. He never pushed us into a decision and invested many weekends and long hours in helping us find the perfect new place. When it came time to make both deals we knew he was looking out for us all the way. Selling and buying homes is hard work and often stressful. Barry was available to help us at anytime and made many difficult decisions easier. We would recommend Barry to anyone who wants a Realtor that knows the business well and is someone they can trust.



Angela Desveaux and Bruce Patterson
Bruce and I want to thank you for all you've done for us in our real estate adventures this year. You have made the process of buying and selling easy and straight-forward (twice within one year!), and have helped us achieve our goals with excellent service throughout. We are so pleased with the sale of our condo (at over asking price!) and we have great respect for your negotiating and selling skills. You are such a genuine person and have taken a real interest in the reasons behind our sales - with both of our real estate transactions! At no time did we ever feel like this was 'just a business' for you. Instead, every stage of the experience has been about the people behind the transaction, which is extremely rare in your industry. We appreciate it so much. Thank you for the professional experience and the excellent results. Looking forward to many more years of adventures!



Rob and Rhonda Pompu
“We recently purchased a downtown Vancouver Condo with Barry's help. Barry was very professional and gave us great service throughout the purchase transaction. We found him to be knowledgable, thorough, attentive to our requests, and very personable. We would highly recommend Barry Pockay to others seeking a "top notch" REALTOR®.”
