Hamish helped our family get into the White Rock housing market at a time when we thought it was impossible. His professionalism, understanding and use of buying/selling techniques, and diligence was invaluable to us making a dream a reality. Thank you Hamish! - Regan Ross

Hamish Ross sold my condo in a very tough market in White Rock. His efforts and dedication were exceptional. After 31 years in administration where a good part of my job was to find talented and committed staff, his qualities rate among the best in my experience. He went above and beyond to assist in every way - and genuinely enjoyed doing it. But his untiring positive approach and encouragement were only exceeded by his solid, consistent efforts on my behalf. He is more concerned about his clients than his own agenda. . For example, when I had questions, he was always available by text or phone, often within minutes and definitely within a few hours, days, evenings and weekends. Together with his partner Natasha, he went beyond the call of duty to help me "stage" the condo to increase its marketability. With Hamish you not only get one person, but two and they are a formidable team. I was amazed at how they transformed the "look and feel" of a space that was outdated into something that had way more appeal. Staging services can be expensive. The two of them put in their own time to help me for the good of the sale. They even purchased new handles for the kitchen cupboards at their own expense. Hamish was indeed good for my pocket book in ways beyond the actual sale of the condo. He is connected to everybody!! When I wanted to replace the appliances to increase its sale value, he personally went with me to one of his friends at an appliance store to help me get the best deal. I saved $1,500 more than I would have payed without his help. On top of that, he contacted another one of his retired friends, who is a master of all trades, to hook up the appliances and redo the counter top so the stove would fit. His friend also fixed several small items in the condo that needed upgrading - all of this for $500 . These items together with the staging process, were completed at the end of December. The first offer (which was not acceptable) came in immediately in the first week of January. The second offer came just a few days later and was very acceptable. The sale completed on Saturday, February 15th and the new owners, who, by all reports, are a fine addition to the condominium strata, took possession February 16th. The expertise of Hamish and the extraordinary support I received from him were critical to my sale, not to mention the good relations and positive outcomes that accompanied it. In addition to all this he never stopped helping me after after we closed the sale. He stopped by on more than a few occasions to help me load heavy items into my van. In my need to catch the ferry before the long weekend, he negotiated with the two Notaries transacting the transfer of money, to ensure I would be able to receive the funds before the end of the business day on Friday. This would avoid paying for a hotel room over the long weekend to conclude the financial transaction. He was so successful that I received everything on the Thursday and was able to leave as planned on Friday without the stress of waiting until the last minute. I have known many excellent realtors in my days, and in fact several are friends. However, in all honesty I have to say that Hamish tops any I know in that field. When and if the profession ever comes under criticism in these areas, Hamish is the kind of individual the industry can hold up as an example of the excellence it strives for. I highly recommend Hamish and am so fortunate that I found the very best in the business. - Danielle Marie Fortosky

My fiance and I worked with Hamish on the purchase of our newest house in Langley. It is the third property we have purchased with Hamish as our realtor, and once again he was great to work with. We really had no clue where or what we wanted, but Hamish took us to many different areas and through different house types until we found the home for us. His patience, knowledge of various areas of the Lower Mainland, his understanding of the real estate market, and his customer first approach is unlike any realtor I have dealt with. His willingness to go the extra mile for his clients is what really sets him apart, and is exactly why we will continue to go with Hamish for all of our future real estate dealings. - Troy Dewinetz
Reply: Thanks Troy - always a pleasure to spend time with your family!
Hamish got us out of a jam. We were moving from Alberta to the Lower Mainland but hit a problem, our home was sold in Alberta very quickly and we had nowhere to live in our chosen area. Hamish had a very narrow window to work with as we had a specific are and a particular complex we wanted to live in but there was nothing available. Hamish went above and beyond contacting every resident of the complex until he found a unit that someone was willing to sell us, it wasn't even on the market and he got it for us! Through all this, he kept us fully informed long distance helping to arrange everything for our arrival. The whole experience was stress free due to Hamish's hard work, professionalism and knowledge of the area. He was an amazing realtor and has now become a friend. We have and will continue to recommend Hamish to others who are looking for the best realtor. Thanks Hamish! - Paula Fennimore

I had the privilege of working with Hamish when I was relocating to White Rock. I had very specific ideas about what I wanted and feared it would be impossible to get. I was also very anxious about the whole moving experience. Hamish was an excellent choice for me for so many reasons. Not only did he find exactly what I was looking for, he took so much upon himself that my anxiety quickly disappeared. He was an expert negotiator, incredibly detailed and a very hard worker. He made me feel like I was his number one client and made it clear that my needs were of utmost importance to him. He never pressured me and was patient and kind. I would absolutely hire him again and recommend him to everyone knowing he would absolutely do the best job. - Barry Young
Reply: Thank you Barry!
Hamish worked hard for us, doing daily research looking for a condo in White Rock that met our criteria. Having achieved that goal, doing a very professional job of documents that had to be signed, he set to work on the even bigger job which was to sell our house. He and Natasha together did an excellent job of preparing a virtual walk through our home, consulting with us on every step taken. Our house sold in three days and we can only contribute that to the guidance, experience and vast knowledge Hamish gave us as we went through both buying and selling with him. - Wendy Curteis

Hamish Ross is an outstanding realtor. He combines a passion for advocacy with exceptional entrepreneurial, marketing, and negotiating skills. He is competitive, generous with his time and expertise, and smart. What more could you want in a realtor? During the selling and buying process, Hamish was always available, prepared and knowledgeable in terms of any questions or concerns that I had. His advocacy and skill were evident in the resolution of several unique challenges that surfaced over the selling/buying process. The sale was timely and the price excellent even though it was not a strong market. Thanks to his advice and follow-through, I was able to obtain my desired purchase, not only for a good price, but also with substantial perks added to the deal. I am doubly blessed, because, not only is Hamish my realtor, he is also my son. I can’t guarantee that he will do a garage sale for you, as he did for me, as part of your contract, but I can guarantee that he will bring you a calm, open and knowledgeable advocacy - one that will bring you successfully through what is often a challenging experience. - Linda Bickerton-Ross

"I would recommend Hamish to anyone! He is personable, smart, and caring. You will enjoy his humour, his kindness and his patience when you look for your dream house and you will appreciate his intelligence and thoughtfulness when you list your house with him. I’ve always felt like he put us first!" - Julie Baldwin

We were extremely happy with the Service, Professionalism, and In-Depth Knowledge of our realtor, Hamish Ross! Hamish and Natasha (his marketing manager), provided outstanding 4K video graphs and photographs, that showcased our home online. During the pandemic, this was very important for buyers to view our home at its best online. Hamish and Natasha were by far the best real estate team we have experienced, and we have bought and sold many homes over the years. They are HONEST, DOWN TO EARTH, and PERSONABLE! We really appreciated all their hard work, and would HIGHLY recommend Hamish Ross and his team for all your real estate needs!! Thanks so much Hamish and Natasha!! - Christopher Deevy
