I googled "best realtor I duncan, bc" and Jason's name came up on several sites. He did not dissapoint! From the very start to removal of conditions he was professional, readily available, organized, thorough, prepared. Something that also stood out was how considerate Jason was about my schedule, family needs and space so that this process had the most minimal stress as possible. He very much was aware of the market we were working with at any given time and was able to provide valuable insight that allowed me to make informed and accurate decisions on the fly with the subtke shifts/trends. I had pulled the listing temporarily while out of country....but Jason continued to watch the changes in the market. As a result of his dedication to me as his client, he reached out while I was on vacation to inform me. I ended up listing the while away knowing I was in good hands and as Jason had demonstrated his exceptional skills. Jason, with his colleague Hannah, worked together with others they network with to get my home staged and tidy for showings while I was out of country. It was amazing how fast and seamless it pulled together. They were very creative in implementing solutions. Jason's communication was thorough and always kept me immediately informed. He went above and beyond to address issues as they came up offering information and wisdom from his years of experience. I never felt rushed, pressured or pushed in any way. I also felt like i was his only client with the amount of attention I recieved ha ha.I felt safe with Jason and his colleague Hannah....confident in his abilities and loyalty to me as a client....along with Hannahs contagious positivity, eagerness, dedication and seamless follow through. She had amazing ideas for some big challenges along the way. As a result, I was able to continue my vacation out of country and recieved a great offer I accepted while away in a touch n go market. I have bought/sold many homes in the preceeding 2 decades. Jason definitely tops my experience with realtors. His calm demeanor and kind, patient approach stood out and made me feel valued as a client(and person) - Samantha
Reply: Samantha, thank you for your incredibly detailed testimonial. It was an absolute pleasure to work for you and a satisfying sale to get done. It was Hannah's first listing and sale and I'm sure to be a memorable one for her. Thank you for entrusting the sale of your home with us. All the best to you and your family moving forward. Thank you.
Very professional process. Jason asked the right questions to fully understand the property features and owners needs. He also presented information and actually listened to us throughout before offering advice. A great experience. - Peter and Pat
Reply: Peter and Pat, I can say the experience was great for me as well. It was a real pleasure to work for such helpful and engaged sellers. All the best in your next adventure.

Jason was excellent! We will definitely be using him in the future if we ever need a real estate agent again; however, he did find us our amazing “forever home,” so that will be a long way off. We have bought many homes with many different agents over the last 20 years, and Jason is the very first agent who was able to point out and explain the merits and pitfalls of each home’s technical aspects, e.g. type of piping, water sources, septic information, etc. We highly recommend Jason. He was a delight to work with! - Dan and Sarah
Reply: Dan and Sarah, congratulations on finding you forever home. It's such a pleasure to deal with nice folks who are truly engaged in the process from start to finish. I wish you all the best with your new slice of heaven on Vancouver Island.
Jason Finlayson is not only a great realtor, he is a great person. We had a log home on acreage, with a step driveway, and road noise, a very unique home and one that proved to be difficult to sell. Not many people want a log home! Jason did amazing marketing of the home and was there in person for almost every showing. It took a year, but he kept us positive throughout the process until we finally sold. He then found us a home in a very difficult buyers market. We can't thank Jason enough for his professionalism and friendship and would highly reccommend him for either selling or purchasing a home. - Rick and Carrie
Reply: Rick and Carrie, it was a bit of a long road.. but we got it done! Thank you for hanging in there with me until we achieved our goals. All the best in your lovely new location.
Jason is a fantastic agent. He was very informative when it came to pricing our home for sale as well as with follow-up with prospective purchasers' agents. He kept us apprised at all times. He was also an excellent representative on our behalf when it came to the purchasing of our new condo. All in all, Jason did a terrific job for us and we highly recommend his services. - Janet Caplan
Reply: Thank you Janet and Don for placing your trust in my services. It was a pleasure to assist you in realizing your real estate goals.
Jason was totally awesome. He found an exact property that I wanted. The price was within my budget, absolutely everything I was looking for. He was patient, kind and very considerate. I would highly recommend this very hard working person. - Valorie

Jason and I have now completed 3 deals together and we are working on our fourth. There’s lots of agents, there’s not many great ones. Jason is one of the Great Ones. He’s reliable and works harder than any agent I’ve ever seen. I recommend him on the regular, especially for Sellers. What’s more, he’s a born and raised Islander and he cares about the community; he recently spent his weekend cleaning up the Cowichan River. World class. - Colin Mullett
