Neil & team were always very responsive and knowledgeable. They assisted with not only real estate matters, but also with recommendations of professionals from adjacent fields. Neil was kind and patient throughout this long and delicate process, and will certainly be top-of-mind should we have any other real estate needs. - Tunai Porto Marques

Great and quick to find me a place. Drove me around and showed me a few places as well as setup a search criteria. The team took care of everything and made the entire process smooth. - Clive
We had a wonderful experience with Neil + his team! They were very friendly, knowledgeable + professional. As we were living in Ontario while looking to buy in BC nearly everything was done from a distance. This was a seamless experience for us. We would highly recommend Neil! - Jaime
Always a pleasure to work with Neil. Positive and professional approach to finding the right property, listens to what your interests are and willing to highlight both pros and cons. - Sandy Bligh
Neil is diligent, direct, and knowledgeable. Very pleased to have worked with him on multiple successful transactions. (That’s all I have to say but this website requires me to write more!) - Leif Baradoy
Neil has been particularly and wonderfully helpful as I bought when the market was hot and am selling as the market has since slowed down (stressful!), and he's helped in monitoring the house, recommending tradesmen, companies, cleaners, gardeners (both the last his own!). He's been so helpful that I now consider Neil a friend! - Anita Fleice
We had the pleasure to work with Lee from Neil Bosdet team. Him and all the team were on top of every step of the sale and the search of a new home. We are happy with the outcome of our journey with them! - Erika
Neil is always upbeat and patiently showed us several houses over a period of probably a year. He made every effort to get us in to see a property as soon as a time was available. He gave us sound advice on each viewing and skillfully/knowleagably helped us through the court ordered sale process. - Gail Raine
Neil Bosdet is a nice realtor that is easy to get along with. He was helpful preparing our house for showing and got significant interest prior to listing our house. He sold our house very quickly at a price we were very please with. - Stan Worsley
EXCELLENT service from day 1. Totally helpful above and beyond anyone else I had been in contact with. Prompt answers, detailed instructions,, knowledgeable about all properties in Victoria Area. 100% the best. - NANCY SHERRY
Reply: YOU are 100% the best! Thank you so much Nancy :)
Neil is awesome! This is the second home he's helped me buy. No BS, straight to the point with good advice on what's looking good and what isn't. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Highly recommended! - David Yarish
We know Neil for about 8 years now. And he helped us buy and sell 3 properties during this period of time. He and his team always went above and beyond to get the best opportunities for us. I recommended him to a couple of friends and they all said the same. So I consider Neil not only my realtor, but also a friend of our family. - Alex Bellato and Mabel Marin
Reply: We are so honoured to have been a part of that process for you Mabel and Alex (on multiple occasions!). People like you are the best part of this industry :)
I had a fabulous experience with selling my home and purchasing another with the Bodset Team. They were professional, patient, compassionate, thorough and helpful. Very pleased with the outcome. Highly recommended! - Madeline Duke
Neil was helpful & knowledgeable. We felt he aggressively protected our interests in this transaction. Neil also represented us in a vacant land trnsaction in Sept / 22. Again, Neil and his team were outstanding - Dwayne Yorke
Working with Neil was an absolute pleasure. His knowledge and professionalism were impeccable. He was very approachable and thrived to meet and excel our expectations. His entire team throughout the process provided assistance and were readily available to field any questions. We highly recommend Neil. - Damoya Anderson and James Ballantyne
Reply: What a kind and thoughtful review! Thank you so much James and Dee, we loved helping you through this process :)
Working with Neil and his team has always been a very positive experience. Neil assisted with our purchase of this property 7 yeas ago so it only made sense to have him assist with the sale of it when the time came. - Kelli Novak
Neil and his team provided impeccable service through our search for a condo. We worked closely with Lee our agent who always responded quickly to our calls and emails. When we requested to see a property, he accommodated viewings and awhile in the area would always show us extra listings. Neil supported the process throughout with Abbey who also played a role in our closing. Amazing service and quality of process!!! - Pino Giuliana
Reply: Thank you for this wonderful review, Pino! We loved working with you and Michael :)
We found Neil Bosdet and his team to be friendly and knowledgeable. Neil was able to take us to view houses most often on the same day we requested it. He was very patient answering our questions and assuring us that he would find the perfect home for our family. We would recommend Neil to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. - Susan and Randy
Reply: Thank you so much Susan and Randy, we absolutely loved working with you!
It was a pleasure working with Neil, (who also helped us with a recent home purchase for a family member.) He is very professional, has a thorough understanding of the real estate business and market in the greater Victoria area. He take the time and makes the effort to ensure that the whole process is makes sense and is properly carried out. - Art Mountain
Reply: Thank you so much for the review, Art! We are so happy that you are pleased with our service--it was a pleasure to work with you and Freida.
Neil and his team are reliable, easy to reach and pleasant to deal with. We have worked with them since 2014 for 2 purchases and 2 sales - all closings have been handled well. - Carol Bellringer
To Neil and his team of stars; Your company is a pleasure to work with. Victoria must be one of the very toughest markets. You took us to many enclaves across the district and made sure we had the full perspective of what was available. My first concern, Selling, was handled so swiftly and easily that all I did was touch ups around the house and then basically the cheque arrived. Selling first was leap of faith but it allowed us freedom to figure out where exactly we wanted to be next. We investigated moving to the mainland and you instantly provided a contact for a Top Agent, so that could set up a search. Ultimately we decided to stay in Victoria. The day we found our house was absolutely busy for everyone, but together we pulled it off. In this crazy market, you negotiated us a great deal on both the sale and the purchase. We couldn't be happier with the results. A very special thanks to you and your team: To Esther, who carried us from sale to purchase. You deserve more than a gift basket. To Lee, for swooping in at final hour and making the viewing possible against all odds, on his way out of town, with two offers already on the table. To Andrew, who started us on our search for a new home and who was also very patient with us. Neil, you provide an excellent service. During our time you received the top Agent award for Royal LePage in Canada, and you didn't even mention it to me. It was challenging for me to work at your pace. I'm glad I listened. Best Wishes, Gabriel and Varuna . - Gabriel Chaikin
Neil was responsive and personable. Knew how to close a deal! He followed up after our purchase on other questions we had and provided us with help/advice as we were new to the area. - June Johnston
We’ve used Neil Bosdet and his team for multiple real estate transactions. Neil is very knowledgeable and responds quickly to any inquiries we have. The Bosdet support team is great! Everyone we’ve met and communicated with on Neil’s team are also knowledgeable, friendly and outgoing. Whether buying or selling, Neil Bosdet and his team are where it’s at! - Greg and Nancy
Neil was so knowledgeable and supportive from start to finish in selling our dads family home! He listened to all our needs and concerns and provided us with valuable feedback and recommendations. Neil went above our expectations. The photos, virtual tour, looked amazing! The house sold in three days! Neil’s experience has so much to offer his clients.We would not want to go through this process with anyone else. - Angelo Peluso
Neil was excellent, very knowledgeable, and responded very fast. He made the whole process as easy as it can be. Very happy with the Bosdet Homes service. Amazing team! Thank you, guys. - Bibek Nagarkoti
Neil made navigating my the purchase of my first home a breeze. He was knowledgeable, accessible, and provided sound advice that was instrumental in closing on my dream home. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Neil again! - Darcy Foo
Working with Neil-especially during COVID- was a real pleasure. We are very picky and even when we withdrew an offer on a similar property, he maintained his cheerful, professional attitude and moved on... helping us to find a place that perfectly suits our needs. Not only would we work with Neil again, we won’t hesitate to recommend him to our friends! - R & K Stolle
Neil and his team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Both with the selling of my home and the purchase of my new place. I am very appreciative of the work they did and would use hem again . I would highly recommend Neil and his team. - David Beaudry
From the very first contact we had with the Team, we felt our interests were taken seriously. We’re in an unusual situation, my husband is retired and for banking reasons we needed to pay exactly half down. The Team gave us three options. Neil took us to see them all. Nothing worked. Too many stairs, kitchen to small no backyard. Then a new one appeared on the market. Everything looked good. So Neil walked us through. Then the bank’s assessment came back not the same as the realtor assessment. This is were Neil showed his knowledge. And the bank had their estimators go in person to the house. Well wouldn’t you know it. Bang on the Realitor assessment. Happiness and we are now in our new home. - Sharon and Gregory Wortman
Neil and his team were great to work with. Very responsive, and knowledgeable of the market here in Victoria. This was especially important as my wife and I just moved to the city. It was great visiting all the different neighborhoods, learning about Victoria and deciding where we wanted to live. A great experience overall. - Ryan
Neil Bosdet and his entire team were very important people to us this year. As first time home buyers with a growing family and a tight timeline we were anxious about how everything was going to pan out. Neil’s communication was absolutely wonderful! Whether it was through text, email or a phone call, he was super quick to respond to every concern we had and his whole team coordinated everything we needed with care and efficiency. We really appreciated his attention to detail and quality throughout the whole process. The search he set up for us online was incredibly user friendly and made setting up our viewings really seamless. We also really appreciated his honesty when we went to see homes that may have looked great online but turned out to be less than ideal for a young family. He gave us his honest opinion when we asked for it. He didn’t try to just “sell” us on every home. He genuinely was trying to find us a place that would work for our needs. And he did. Once we found our new home the Bosdet team was so organized with the closing of our purchase. We really felt taken care of. Everything came together beautifully and we could not be more appreciative of Neil and his fantastic team at Bosdet Homes. - Miles Provencher
Neil Bosdet and his team were nothing short of amazing in looking after the sale of my house. Straight from the first contact by phone, Neil responded immediately. He came to view the house right away, and within a week photos had been done, an inspection completed, a beautiful marketing package put together and his entire team came to view and learn about the house. They all examined every detail and were respectful, energetic and enthusiastic 'as a team' to get to work on selling the house. I can't say enough about the positive energy this team has, from the people working the background paperwork to the people in the field. Of course, all of this power led to the house selling very quickly. I cannot word it strongly enough in recommending this team and there is simply not a question my trust and loyalty lies with the Bosdet Team. - Loraine
Neil and his team truly changed my feelings about realtors and their fees. Throughout the process of selling and buying, Neil, Andrew, Marnie and his team of professionals provided constant exceptional services. They more than earned their value. When our purchase deal went off the rails, their experience and attention kept the deal alive. They were punctual, available and incredibly thorough. I've recommended Neil to valued friends and they've said the same. - Warren
Neil was very hard working and professional agent I have ever seen. He knows the technique of how to sell the house quick and that really helps us in this challenging time and sold our house within two weeks . Thank you Neil and Andrew . - Hsin Cheng Lai.
Neil and his team did a great job preparing the promotional material for our condo and then kept us well informed throughout the listing period. They were also helpful in referring us to a lawyer for the legal documents and in making sure that all the appropriate documentation for the listing and the closing was available to all the necessary parties. - Len Vandenberg
Neil was recommended to me by. a neighbor. From the first meeting Neil was very informative and helpful with recommendations for house decluttering and staging. His market analysis was comprehensive and very helpful in me understanding market demand for my demographic. Neil’s team were very responsive throughout the entire process. I was completely satisfied to the point that I used Neil for the purchase of my new house. - Rick Love
It all went well. Referral from previous, out-of-town realtor so I did not use his website. - Sonja Lindquist
Neil gave us great advice about when to list my late sister’s condo, understanding the market in Victoria. As we live in Ontario, he understood our concerns about a long distance relationship and handled everything very professionally. The condo sold very quickly and for the asking price. Neil’s team did a beautiful job of staging the co do and also cleared out most of the excess furniture and other items which made our job much easier when it came to clearing out the unit after the sale. All in all a great experience! - Shirley Jennings
Neil helped us with a unique sale, going above and beyond our expectations. Neil is committed, highly professional and wonderful to work with. He gave us excellent advice for all areas related to the sale, communication was fantastic, and our many questions were always answered quickly and knowledgeably. I cannot recommend Neil and his team enough for the amazing job they did. - Susie Johnson
Successfully closed the transaction and exceeded my expectations! - CHERYL THORSTEINSON
This was our first time purchasing a property, and quickly realized we had no clue what we were doing or how to do it. Andrew was our contact, and his professionalism and knowledge exceeded expectation in every way. He was easy to get a hold of and made my family and I feel calm and in control during a very exciting, and stressful, time. - Scott Rimek
As a realtor myself (in Ontario) I knew I could count on Neil to deliver, and I must say, he went above and beyond in selling my mother’s condo. Due to illness, my mother hastily moved back to Ontario to be closer to family and could not return to Victoria to prepare her home for sale. Needless to say, it was a semi-stressful time, but Neil and his Team had it all handled. They fabulously prepared my mother’s place in no time, had pictures and virtual tour up and running online very quickly and, as a result, sold the property exceptionally fast – all while keeping in great communication, sending updates to the East! I also trust Neil with my referrals; he has done a great job with other clients from Ontario and I would like to thank Neil and his Team for all the help and the professionalism they exude. I would recommend The Bosdet Homes Team to anyone, anytime. - dan mcfadden
I was Pleased with Andrew, worked with him for several months , he send listings of all that was for sale ,which I finally made a decision to buy in the Beechwood Village ,he had a lot of patience and listened to what I wanted I would recommend him to clients which I know ThankYou - Jeanette Hahn
We lived in CT for 20 years and decided to move to Victoria. I looked up the top agents in Victoria on the internet and narrowed the list down to 5. I sent each an email. Two never responded. Three, including Neil, did. One asked us what we were looking for. She sent a follow-up email and we never heard back from her. Another one did a telephone interview and stuck us on an email blast and we never spoke to her again. Neil did a FaceTime interview and guided us on what was possible in Victoria and what wasn’t. He told us about the market and put us on an automated search. I asked an endless number of questions, most of which he answered quickly and promptly. Some he had to research. The odd few he said, “I don’t know. I don’t think anyone does”. He tried to guide us in our search steering us towards certain things and away from others. I am much too smart to listen to advise from some random person so of course I didn’t listen to him, only to learn that he was right, not that I ever told him that. In February, we decided to come out to visit Victoria. It just so happened that that was the week Neil was going to be away. He told us, “No worries. I’ll have one of my best agents help you”. Yeah right. I have heard that line before and was all set to meet the real estate reject of Victoria. Instead, we were met by Andrew Whidden, a bright, energetic, down to earth young man who showed us around Victoria, sometimes taking us more than once to see the same property. We touched base with Neil when we both returned to our respective homes, his in Victoria and ours in Westport, CT. We told him that Victoria was definitely in our future. He asked if we wanted to make an offer. We already owned two properties in the US and told him we’d like to sell at least one of those before we thought of buying another one. That was in February. Months went by with me constantly badgering Neil with one thousand and one questions, which he did his best to answer. When I felt his patience wearing thin, I told him I guarantee I’d eventually buy a place and it would be through him. He laughed and said,”no worries”. We needed a tax accountant who was familiar with Canada/US tax issues. Neil found us the perfect person. Then, in September, someone put in a bid for our house in Connecticut and they wanted us out in 30 days. Oh God, what had we done. Meanwhile, some of the places in Victoria that we were keeping an eye on, the ones Andrew had shown us, were starting to move. We decided to put in a bid sight unseen on a condo. We had Neil’s word, his annotated video and lots of pics. Andrew had shown us the building. We put in a financing clause we could use to exit the deal if we had to. But, we knew nothing about Victoria. We needed a lawyer, someone to review condo docs, a contractor, and on and on. Neil found them all and all willing to take us on. Then, we got an offer on our property in FL. We were now working on closing sales in CT and FL and a purchase in Victoria. It was a whirlwind of lawyers, bankers and agents. Then we came across a miracle by the name of Alisa Howlett, Neil’s office manager. On days when I didn’t know if I was coming or going, she kept us on track. In the end, we closed on the condo in Victoria. Of the three real estate transactions we were involved in at the same time, the one in Victoria was by far the smoothest. I have Neil Bosdet and his talented and hard working team to thank for that. As a bonus, ask him about “Funktional Art for the Kitchen”. You will be pleasantly surprised. - Anil and Joan Vohra
From the moment we met Andrew from Bosdet Homes, we appreciated his professionalism, candor and willingness to go the extra mile. Because we are new to Victoria, Andrew helped us to look at a variety of different homes and locations until we were able to choose a just right home. But Andrew didn’t stop there, once we were ready to make an offer, the team at Bosdet Homes helped us to navigate the many steps all the way to closing. It felt like a seamless journey, but we know that that is because we were with an excellent realty team! - Ann and George
Sean and I would like to send a big thank you out, to all involved in the purchase of our first home! Everyone was great to work with and we are so happy we chose Dan Hoff as our Realtor. His personal touch and genuine interest in helping us find our perfect home was very appreciated. Everyone he recommended to assist us along the way were also personable and made sure we were taken care of. As first time home buyers we were new to the whole experience and Dan, Neil and the team made sure all our questions were asked and we felt confident in all our decisions. Dan also made it an exciting and memorable time, we were not stressed. We have already recommended him to a colleague looking to buy next year! Thanks again everyone! Warm Regards and continued success to you! Laura and Sean… & Brutus! (our new puppy) - Laura Van Sprang and Sean MacLellan
Very pleased with Lee Andison and Neil Bodset’s team. Everyone was very supportive and knowledgable during our recent very busy transition to Victoria. We found our dream house and never felt rushed or pressured during the process. Would highly recommend Neil and his team if you are buying or selling a house. - Margaret
Neil and his team made what was a new experience for us, selling and then buying, a fairly seamless process and we are grateful for his guidance and expertise. Both Neil and Andrew worked hard on selling our townhouse, and calming our concerns and fears when there were a few bumps in the road. Neil negotiated quickly and with skill for the purchase of our new house, which is our forever-home, and we are so grateful he helped make that happen. They were always incredibly quick to respond to calls, emails or texts, and had great resources for home inspectors and tradespeople. We never felt pressured when we looked at homes, and Neil always had great ideas and options for us. We are thankful we chose Bosdet Homes to guide us through this process! - Jessica and Dusty Tweedhope
Nice persone quick on answer. - Michael Turcotte
Andrew Whidden was our agent, punctual & professional. Backed by a great team. - Janet & Alain Merier
Andrew Whidden was our real estate agent and gave excellent service. We live out of town and I initially came across Neil Bosdet's website 7 months ago. Initial communication was through email and telephone calls with Andrew. Andrew was excellent in answering questions about the Victoria Realestate market, suitable neighbourhoods near University of Victoria. Andrew set up a home search that met our criteria. He would periodically contact me to see how the home search was going. When we had an opportunity to come to Victoria to view some properties, Andrew set up a number of home showings for one day that was very efficient, yet not rushed. Andrew was very personable, professional and unbiased. He also set up a repeat showing in a very speedy, timely fashion. When my husband and I decided to make an offer Andrew gave us excellent advice on the amount. With digital contracts it was very easy and efficiently done. After the offer was accepted, Andrew was always available to answer questions that arose during the process. We feel very fortunate and our extremely happy with our recent residential purchase. We highly recommend Andrew Whidden and the Neil Bosdet team!!! Marian Roesch, Mike Buchanan - Marian Roesch
A few months ago, I decided to place my condo on the market. Neil Bosdet was referred to me from a co-worker and I decided to give him a call. He responded right away and we set up a time to meet. Upon our initial meeting, Neil visually assessed my condo and we discussed purchasing and sales strategies. By the time the meeting was over, we had agreed upon a selling price and targeted a home that my fiancé and I were interested in. Neil left us with a preparation plan prior to listing the condo. Amazingly, shortly after the first Open House, we received 4 offers, all of them over our asking price. After offers of purchase and sales were accepted, the transition to complete all documentation and preparation for closing was made easy by the assistance of Pam and the Bosdet Home Real Estate team. They are easy to work with and guide you through all the steps along the way. In the end, we were able to successfully sell the condo and Neil and his awesome team were able to get my fiancé and I into our first home together! What a great way to start our lives together!!! - Jose Villano
Andrew showed us all the houses that fit within our criteria, and when we decided on one, he made the transaction happen for us quickly and efficiently. We are very pleased with the result and would recommend him to any prospective clients. - Rod & Irene Neufeld
Neil was very helpful in the decision to purchase our home and move to the island. We appreciated his solid advice with respect to the neighbourhood and future growth in valuation. He was very responsive and proactive in communicating with us throughout the process - and even cleaned the driveway before we moved in! He gets our first rate recommendation. - Stephen Butz
