Duncan Brown

I worked with Duncan over a decade ago, when he helped me sell a condo that a previous realtor was unable to sell, achieving a record price/sq. ft. in the process. We reached out again when it came to buy. I underestimated how much work and knowledge was required, so we were thankful that we'd brought him on board to make the process incredibly easy and smooth. - Steven Wendland

Duncan was knowledgeable, professional, helpful, respectful and hard working. He is a hands on sale person and works hard for his clients. He sold it quickly and for asking price. We even had a later higher offer. I will be recommending him ! - Katherine Sandrin

I was so grateful to be referred to Duncan for my condo purchase! His extensive knowledge of the Vancouver real estate market was truly impressive—he often already knew the history of apartment buildings and could easily spot red flags. He never pressured me to buy; in fact, he even advised against viewing or making an offer if he knew the building was poorly managed. After every viewing, Duncan gave me honest, thoughtful feedback. His transparency and integrity made it easy to trust that he genuinely had my best interests in mind. On a personal level, Duncan was approachable and easy to work with. As someone who values a realtor’s personality and communication style, I felt completely comfortable working with him. I highly recommend Duncan to anyone buying or selling property in Vancouver, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again! - Sophia Raposo

Thank god for Duncan Brown! When I first called Duncan, I was already considering a few properties; just from the addresses he knew everything about the apartment and building. All the pros and cons. Next level of knowledge! We ended up buy a beautiful apartment at a great price! - Sophia Johnson

Bernie and I are very pleased and grateful to have used the services of Duncan Brown and his team to sell our condo downtown Vancouver! We recommend him without any hesitation. Thank you very much! - Alain Paquin

Duncan is an exceptional realtor. He assisted me with the purchase of my first equity Co-op in Vancouver's Westend. He really took the time to understand what I needed my new home to be and kept me focused. Throughout the process, I really felt I could trust him. While I found this move quite stressful, Duncan was always there to answer questions and solve problems. His responsiveness to texts and calls was amazing. Being new to the world of Equity Co-ops, he was very patient in guiding me through the process. I am not planning on moving anytime soon, but I will recommend Duncan to all of my friends and family who are looking for a realtor in Vancouver. - Renee Baril

As a buyer, Duncan's experience and expertise was something that I definitely valued as I went through the buying process. Duncan was honest throughout the process and was someone who I could trust. I would definitely reccomend Duncan! - Alex Lee

Having Duncan our side for both a house sale and condo purchase was a pleasure start to finish. He took to time to understand our goals and worked hard to find the best fit for us. Friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgable.. - Vince

I have used Duncan for the sale of two of my apartments in the last few years. Very happy both times. Very professional and down to earth. I highly recommended him! - Steve Fiskilis

Duncan Brown know’s the Vancouver real estate market and made excellent suggestions from the stagers and camera person to the price and the best time to list. The condo sold on the first day on the market. Duncan took care of all the little details and was very helpful in coordinating all the moving parts. This has been an invaluable service to us as we live out of town. I would highly recommend using Duncan for your next real estate transaction. Between buying and selling, our extended family has benefited from Duncan’s extensive market knowledge four times over the past 20 years. - K P

It was a delight to work with Duncan. 18 years after he found me my first condo, he just did it again, helping me secure a beautiful home in a tight market for list price. He is incredibly knowledgeable, knew from years of experience the lowdown on pretty much any building I asked about, and was honest and clear about ones to avoid and the reasons why. He listened carefully to what I was looking for, was very responsive, and inspired trust from the beginning – throughout the process I felt he had my best interests at heart. He was professional, personable, and someone who made a potentially stressful experience actually really enjoyable. - Carolyn O

Duncan is an experienced, professional realtor. An absolute gentleman and ethical realtor. Through the weeks, he became our trusted advisor. He’s very responsive and would answer all of our questions honestly, patiently and based on facts. He does not sugar coat but that means you are getting the advice you need to make the right purchase for your family. He guided us throughout the buying process with great patience and knowledge. His many years of experience in the Vancouver real estate market definitely counts. We are so grateful to have been referred to Duncan and would 100% refer him to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, authentic, professional, ethical, patient and kind realtor who will do his absolute best for you and your family! - Lillin Wee

Duncan has been my sister’s realtor since 2001 and has helped them buy and sell multiple properties over the years. So when I finally decided to sell my condo, I trusted Duncan to help me through what I imagined was going to be a difficult and stressful process. As someone who practically breaks out in hives when the topic of Vancouver real estate comes up, I was dreading the entire process, especially during Covid. Duncan’s experience and solid knowledge of the market were reassuring. He listened keenly and was honest about what I needed to do to get my place market-ready. Under his direction, I was able to get everything in place and on time for the listing date. One of Duncan’s strengths was his ability to listen and keep me on track while helping me ride out my many freak-outs all the way. After four busy days of back to back showings (with best Covid practices in place), I received multiple offers and ended up getting over the list price. I was over the moon! Duncan delivered everything I had hoped for and more. While some of my good luck was based on timing, it was Duncan’s expertise and extensive network that helped nail it! I highly recommend using Duncan Brown to help you sell (or buy) your Vancouver home. He’s professional, trustworthy, and an all-around great guy! - Suzanne Geba

Excellent service from Duncan, especially as I was at distance from my property during covid conditions. Above and beyond in terms of assistance and professionalism. I was very pleased with the selling price and management of all the documentation. The transaction was made very easy. - Karen Lund

Duncan is a delight to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable and personable. His long term experience in the market makes all the difference providing sound advice on pricing, timing and presentation. In addition, his extensive network means he can recommend excellent ancillary services like staging professionals and cleaning. Duncan’s overall approach, integrity and the rapport he develops with his clients is outstanding and we recommend him without hesitation. - Allan & Anne Smith

I've worked with Duncan since 2002 on a number of housing transactions - all were completed quickly and successfully. Duncan is incredibly knowledgeable about Vancouver neighbourhoods and condo properties and their relative pros and cons. Along with his approachable, "non-salesy" demeanour, this is where I've really appreciated his service. I fully recommend Duncan and have done so on several occasions. Those contacts have also had very positive experiences with him. - Stephanie Zahn

I’ve been with Duncan since 1997 having sold three and bought two places over the years. Each time I have been impressed with his service and how he has continued to evolve to keep up with technology, the latest trends, and most effective strategies. It is always comforting to watch him with other agents to know that he is both respected and liked. The last sale was truly epic and worthy of praise. Not only skillfully negotiating a three way bidding war. But when the winner got cold feet, he got a former building occupant, who was in Mexico at the time, on the phone to answer questions and close the sale. I don’t know anyone who could have either pulled this off or would have gone the extra mile! - Philip Tremblay

We've been working with Duncan since 2007. In that time, we've bought 2 properties and sold 1 with his services. Duncan has really good sense of his clientele. He has extraordinary patience, listens and adapt his suggestions and advice to meet your needs ... not push you into something you don't actually want. Frankly, that's a professional trait that not always in abundance in the competitive Vancouver market. We would recommend Duncan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, ethical realtor that you can develop a relationship with over multiple transactions.

We have worked with Duncan since 2011 through 3 housing transactions. He is professional, available, responsive, ethical and gives his honest opinion. He is a realtor who works hard for his clients, is not in a rush to "make a sale". He is about finding the right fit for his client needs.

We are in a unique position to recommend Duncan, so if you're questioning the 5-star ratings, don't. We've done two residential sales and one buy through him. It can't work like this all the time, but he generated bidding wars for both our sales. In the first, we had the unique experience of watching 8 agents present offers and represent their clients. It was like 'realtor auditions'. At the end we knew we'd always want Duncan representing us and it reinforced how lucky we were to have selected him. He is very strategic, knowledgeable, professional and responsive in addition to being a pleasure to work with. We have received invaluable advice from him between transactions and referred him to friends who have thanked us. Highly recommended.

Makes a good first impression but after that, it's all downhill. Main character flaw: lazy. He doesn't hustle to find a home for you or go above and beyond. He uses an automated system to send new listings, which is great, but other than tha,t and making appointments, he doesn't really add much value. Not willing to put in offers less than $50K from assessment even when the home list/assessment price is out-of-whack with current reality. Also is away at least months of the year and completely unreachable during this time. You're left to deal with a junior licensed realtor who doesn't know you and whom you've never met before. Brutal.
