We worked with Nav from October through February in our search for a home in the Lower Mainland from a distance. Going in, we weren't too sure what we wanted. Eventually, we were able to focus in on a neighbourhood we liked and have moved into a home that we are very happy with.
We closed on our new home with a slightly unconventional offer, and we couldn't have done it without him. In that aspect alone, he proved his worth.
But Nav has much more to offer beyond his deal-making abilities. Looking back on this journey, the advice and suggestions he made along the way were sound. I'd ask him about a listing that I liked, and he wouldn't hesitate to tell me, "I wouldn't spend time looking at this listing because of X and Y, unless you are okay with Z." He'd give you his input, but always leave you space to make the decision.
I suggest to anyone who works with Nav to be open and share everything that you're thinking. I regret not doing that sooner. Yes, it's true that a buyer's agent's incentives are not always aligned with the buyer. But through this experience, Nav strived to make, and made, the best deal for me.

Thank you for your detailed and honest Review Matt. You bring up a great point. As you said, there are some agents who’s motives are unfortunately not aligned with their clients - It truly means a lot to me that your experience and outlook changed as we worked closely together. Honest and transparent consulting is a fundamental part of my service. Congratulations again on your beautiful condo in Coquitlam and I hope to see you around in the area soon!
