Townhome in West Vancouver | Feb 2026

Patrick was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and realistic in terms of how to stage the townhouse and what to list it at. He was also terrific in understanding what I wanted in a new residence and showed me appropriate possibilities. - Cecilia Warren

Condo Sale in Coal Harbour, Vancouver | Mar 2026

I was selling this property as executor of the deceased owner. Patrick took away a lot of the anxiety involved with selling including employing the painters plus the handyman and electrician required to finalize the sale. He also paid their invoices and was willing to wait for the sale finalized to be reimbursed. I would definitely hire Patrick to sell my home when it is time to downsize.. - Mary C Downey

Home Sale in West Vancouver | Aug 2025

Patrick did a great job staging the house on the initial listing with the photos. Due to all the pre-work up front in consultation with me on some minor facelifts, my house sold on the first day it was listed. No small feat considering the competition in the neighbourhood at the time and the state of the real estate market. Patrick is a magician. - Jonathan Fisher

Home Purchase in West Vancouver | May 2024

We cannot recommend Patrick enough. We had a very specific brief - narrowed down to one West Vancouver neighbourhood, with a view and able to be renovated to our liking. Patrick was the perfect person as he knew who owned what house, when it was last sold and what was going to be coming onto the market. He kept an optimistic attitude and shared his knowledge with us throughout viewings and offers. When the perfect house off market came along, he helped us secure the house quickly. The property that we thought was a 'unicorn' is now ours and we couldn't be happier. I would recommend Patrick to anyone looking to sell or as a buyers agent.  - Kimberly Draper

Condo Purchase in Dundarave, West Vancouver | Jul 2023

As I was living outside the province, a friend found Patrick for me and the condo. He was polite, knowledgable, helpful, friendly and above all patient. In some respects this was an easy purchase as I knew exactly what I was looking for in regards to size, neighbourhood, price, etc. as I had lived in the area previously. Patrick made it easy to complete the purchase long distance. Thank you for everything! - Mary Anne S.

Home Sale in Westmount, West Vancouver | May 2023

Patrick recently helped us sell our mother’s small house in West Vancouver. From beginning to end Patrick was unfailingly helpful, friendly and provided excellent advice and support at each stage in the process. Most importantly, despite the challenging market in the Spring of 2023, he sold our house for our agreed price in less than a week! A nice bonus for us was that he arranged to empty the house of unwanted belongings and have it thoroughly cleaned before turning it over to the new owners. If you are looking to sell a house in West Van we definitely recommend going with Patrick! - Nicholas Kevlahan

Home in West Valley | May 2023

Patrick is a very efficient, hard working and knowledgeable real estate agent. Moreover, he is respectful and very polite. It only took him a couple of weeks to sell our house. He guided us and helped us prepare for the showings. After the house was sold, Patrick found me a new property, above my expectations. He has been extremely devoted even after we sold & purchased properties. He seems to always be available, always reply promptly, no matter if it is regarding giving me references for trades, or getting a building permit. It is a pleasure to work with such a dynamic and knowledgeable agent. I highly recommend Patrick. - Isabelle Wright

Condo Sale in Ambleside, West Vancouver | Feb 2023

After many house transactions, with other realtors, I’ve finally found the perfect realtor in Patrick. He is dedicated to his profession, which means he is available when you need him, helpful providing advice and assistance beyond normal. His repeat service is something I can rely on and during this difficult market he managed to sell my condo, within a reasonable time and at a very good price. Hiring another realtor instead of Patrick is completely out of the question. - Gail

Patrick is super efficient, professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. He sold my property to the first person viewing. The marketing was fast and impressively staged. We literally did nothing but sign documents (docusign.) This was our least stressful property transaction we have ever experienced. Patrick makes you feel as though you are his only client. We will engage his services next time we are looking for a realtor. - Olive Whittaker

I've bought and sold many properties and Patrick to date has been the most professional and honest realtor I have had the pleasure to deal with. He responds quickly to all queries, shows incredible patience when dealing with buyers who aren't quite sure what they're looking for and always provides an honest opinion when asked "what do you think." He doesn't push you to buy for the sake of buying - he really wants you to find the house that is right. Patrick's sense of humour made the stressful experience of house hunting much less stressful. - Cheryl Giustra

Patrick is a real gem to have on your side while property hunting. Having both purchased and sold property through Patrick we found him to be a huge asset on both sides of the equation.. When we were buying he was patient with our many (possibly unrealistic) wants and changing goals and made sure we were only bidding on properties that made sense for our needs. He did all the background and we always felt he had an uncanny sense of how the bids would fall. When selling, Patrick handled everything and made the process stress free and quick. We didn't have to worry and felt confident leaving control in his hands. On top of being a professional, Patrick is a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, knowledgeable and exudes confidence. We will keep turning to him for all our real estate needs. - Christina May

He genuinely cares about his clients and always makes you feel you are number one. He listens and has the time to sit and talk with you... even have a cup of tea! It’s rare these days to work with someone who cares as much as he does. He gets the job done and works hard for his clients. Patrick has a team of professionals behind him. Everything is planned, communicated, fixed and presented in the best way possible. Having bought and sold houses over the years, Patrick stands out among his peers.

I had a choice of other realtors, but a friend recommended me to Patrick and I'm so happy I did. Patrick is very professional, trustworthy and friendly. No stress and no pressure, that's what I like about him. Patrick was so patient with me and if you want the home of your dreams, Patrick will find it and get the job done!

On behalf of Robin and myself I wanted to thank Patrick and Wendy for their focus and professionalism in assisting to sell our property. I know that isn’t the easiest task in this challenging real estate market, and Patrick had the right strategy and guidance every step of the way (timing, staging, pricing, communications, literally every aspect was in your control and you ran the show with precision). Obviously we were impressed by your firm’s guidance, but so must have been the buyer’s agent and buyer, otherwise IMHO they wouldn’t have completed after only 3 showings and 2 opens well within a month! Count on us as a solid reference for any of your future business. We are fans! - Lance White

It is hard to do this man justice. His patience was inexhaustible as the sale was slow and protracted. He was a delight to deal with professionally and was always available to advise, inform and to cope with stress relief. I always felt that however busy he was, he would always make time for me. He worked tirelessly to manage the completion of the sale to try to make it as painless as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants a first class realtor. - janet Harris

Patrick was/is a very professional, knowledgeable and personable professional. He knew the market and the neighborhoods we were interested in and seemed to have the pulse of what was currently available and what was moving. He was very patient and informative as we looked at 60-70 properties over approximately 10 months before finding the perfect location. The transaction went seamlessly which helped to reduce our stress level. We would highly recommend him! - Lyle P

We had an extremely positive experience with Patrick. We recently located to Vancouver from Toronto and he was unbelievably patient and knowledgeable. It feels like he has seen practically every house on the North Shore. He knows each road in each neighborhood and is quick to share the advantages and disadvantages of each area. When he walks through a house he also highlights why the house might be difficult to resale. It feels like he works all the time and responded to us while he was in Europe on vacation. I have worked with many realtors over the years and our experience with Patrick was far and away ahead of anything I have had in the past and I cannot recommend him highly enough. - Charles Cyna

My wife and I don't typically engage in "social" reviews of our service providers but given the difference in views between our experience with Patrick O'Donnell and some of the comments on this site, I felt it necessary to comment. Patrick was a complete pleasure to deal with, both interpersonally and professionally. His personality brings a level of enjoyment to what can be a fairly stressful experience (selling your home) and he provides a level of "one stop" service that takes the load of worry off of the client. Patrick clearly communicated the process of selling, scheduled photos, measurements and viewings very professionally and showed a deft touch in negotiating with the buyers. Overall an A+ and we wouldn't hesitate to retain Patrick again for any of our real estate needs. Regarding other comments on this site, clearly people can have different experiences and there are many points at which a real estate transaction can go sour. However, we would trust Patrick to work through any issues that could arise and his communication skills should allow this to happen. We highly recommend Patrick and would suggest that one "bad apple" shouldn't spoil the bunch! - Brian W

I have been discovering multiple problems with the property that O'Donnell and his client, the former owner, did not disclose: water-damaged hardwood floors beneath a carpet, electrical outlets that don't work, unsafe electrical, a huge hole under the kitchen sink, a mess of wiring under the kitchen sink. There may be more. I don't know yet. - Gale Leitch

Reply:    This building must be very old to have hardwood floors below a carpet...out of interest how would the agent know about those water stains under the carpet. there was a plug not working...I am assuming YOU and YOUR agent arranged a home inspection?? Reply:    1) There is no law stating that I have to have a home inspection. 2) On the purchase contract, the owner stated that all appliances are in working order. They were not. The digital elements of the electric range did not work, making it impossible to set a temperature for the oven. 3) Any home inspector would never lift even a corner of a carpet to inspect the wood floors. 4) The dimmer switch did not work. Further, upon removing a portion of the wall, its transformer was found to have melted long ago and sprayed transformer oil which saturated a section of the drywall's inner paper surface, causing an immense stench. The non-working dimmer switch and odour was cleverly concealed by the owner with a large, wood-backed bookshelf for the viewing. It cost money to have the insulation and drywall replaced. Reply:    This review is a joke. The woman sounds bitter and out of line. I don’t usually do reviews as I feel they are misleading and unfair as people can say anything even if it’s not true. I’ve used Patrick on 4 different transactions in the last 3 years and will continue to use him. Really if you have nothing good to say don’t say it at all! Patrick as most if not all realtors will tell you is a stand up guy. He always recommends for buyers to have home inspections . So lady that’s on you. Take responsibility and get over it. Reply:    I have never once received a word of empathy or concern or an apology from this agent. That alone is evidence of his attitude towards buyers. His clients most certainly come first, before his buyers. Sometimes an apology fixes everything. 1) exploded dimmer switch and stench of transformer oil, cleverly hidden behind a large wooden bookcase (an ad photo for the condo taken from O'Donnell's sales ad for the condo shows this clearly); dimmer switch exploded before my ownership; during the explosion (which could have caused a fire according to professionals who spoke to me) the transformer's oil sprayed the inside of the wall and the paper covering of the inner side of the drywall sheets causing a foul stench that, according to professionals, would never go away and all drywall would have to be replaced -- all hidden behind the large wooden bookcase of the living room as evidenced in the ad photos of the condo that O'Donnell had on his website. I went to hardware stores taking the exploded dimmer switch transformer with me and all of them told me that transformer oil is the stinkiest oil. Cost to replace stinking drywall and remud: $500+ because a friend did it. 2) stove did not work first time it was turned on. NO INSPECTOR WOULD HAVE INSPECTED. Cost to replace: $325+ 3) when bedroom carpet was removed, the hardwood floor beneath it had a 4 feet x 4 feet area of water damage. NO INSPECTOR WOULD HAVE LOOKED UNDER THE CARPET. Estimate to replace: $900+ The law should be changed so that ALL realtors must have properties they intend to sell inspected before they are advertised so that buyers are 100% aware of all defects. Anything else is unethical. Seller's realtors should take responsibility, and display due care and concern for buyers. It's a two-way deal after all. Instead of blaming the victim --- ME --- perhaps you people should show more empathy and concern for buyers. Buyers should have stronger rights! Any further naysaying replies will be considered NOT impartial, and just part of the problem. "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem."
