Jim gets 5 stars with me only because the system does not allow 100 stars. This is part of the text my wife and I wrote for him in a formal letter after he worked for three years with us patiently looking for our ideal home in Vancouver: "Dear Jim: What can we say… You have automatically become one of the most important figures in the history of the Varhola-Moreno family. The reason why we got the palace of our dreams in Jim Pilkington, and this goes beyond your realtor genius in developing a strategy and crafting an offer within 48 hours. Your legacy is much greater in time and space. You have patiently and optimistically listened to us for all these years, and you introduced us to ALL the other key personalities that made this possible. Everybody in the real estate world in the North Shore knows you, and we have always been proud to say that you are ours. We have never met someone so professional, honest, patient, hardworking, ethical and warm. You have looked after our interests 100%, putting our financial well-being and our kids’ future first. We wish to extend our gratitude to your own family, recalling those Sunday nights we stole time from them so you could talk to us about potential purchases. We will never forget your own excitement the moment our offer was accepted. We felt how our dream was your dream too. While there is no doubt that the amount of work you put into our home project should grant you a 50% commission, which is sadly out of our scope, for now we can offer you an unbreakable partnership in all future real estate adventures. However, above all, please accept our unconditional friendship. Echoing how this letter began, please never forget that you are one of the most important figures in the history of the Varhola-Moreno family.”
