We struggled to buy a house for 18 months in Toronto’s Sellers market and worked with realtors referred by friends. Interestingly, these realtors were very interested in selling every property we saw, with complete disregard to our requirements. We luckily met Brian Hickingbottom at an open house where he was staging a Condo unit for sale and we explained to him what we were looking for. Brian’s professionally approach to deeply connect with our requirements and courteous manner converted us to become his clients overnight. The journey had begun, but it was not going to be an easy road for Brian given the multiple constraints and conditions we placed around the “right” home for us. To add to it, we had been down the road with other realtors with no luck and by now were veterans at house hunting. We knew exactly what we wanted or so we thought... Brian turned out to be the much needed realty check with immense knowledge and the right demeanor when providing correction to our thought process. Never making us realize our naivety, but tactfully converting us to the right thinking. This was so refreshing and unusual compared to what exists out there in the world of Realtors. We were sold to Brian! Needless to say that he worked painstakingly to find the right home and never once lost patience even as we got edgy and almost gave up the idea of buying. We flip-flopped in our approach; we paused and almost stopped out of frustration. But Brian never wavered even once. He not only bought us the right Property at the right price, but also helped for the first few weeks as we settled-into our new home. In his own words, he presents solutions for every problem you pose and never pushes to take you to a decision. Always punctual, very sharp and very well prepared before and after reviewing properties. We give him a perfect score of ten on professional ethics and for being a great human being. Brian is strongly recommended for all your real estate requirements! - Atul Saigal

We recently moved from US. After getting a ton of (useless) referrals for real estate agents from our friends, we luckily found Brian on Kijiji.ca. From the very beginning he was professional and courteous. What differentiated him from other real estate agents was his honesty (rare thing in GTA agents- my opinion) and ability to find appropriate property based on all my needs (more than just MLS listing search). He was always on time for showings and prepared to discuss pros and cons. Strongly recommended especially for people new to GTA. I am writing this review a month after the transaction. This should be some indication on strongly I recommend him.
