"Nicholas has been my client for over 20 years, as his financial planner and it has been a pleasure working with him over the years. I have found Nicholas to be very extremely knowledgeable ethical, dependable diligent and client focused. He is extremely honest in giving his opinion, even if it means walking away from closing a sale. I have learned a lot of things in Real Estate from him. We also have mutual clients, and have heard nothing but praises from these clients of the service he has and continues to provide to them. I have also recommended clients to Nicholas, since i wanted them to be looked after by the “BEST”"

EL

"I have been using Nicholas’ services since 1988, first as a realtor and later as a rental suite manager. I have also recommended his services to numerous friends and clients who thanked me for referring him. The words they all used were “knowledge” and “integrity”. Nicholas is one of the rare members of this profession who prefers long-term client relationship to quickly collecting a commission. This was the case when he discouraged me from purchasing properties he knew were not right for me, even though this meant additional work for him. And did I mention that he is also well educated and great company?"

Zuzana Kulhánková

"One of the most passionate and knowledgeable individuals I have met regarding Vancouver’s real estate market. Nicholas was a pleasure to work for at his exceptional Property Management company, always exemplifying honorable and hospitable association. Nicolas continues to leave remarkable impressions to individuals fortunate enough to work with Downtown Suites."

Adelle Tepper

"Thanks greatly for your cautiousness and professionalism. To have a client of good standing is of greater importance than the amount of rent, to have a problematic client means more headaches for us and you down the road. I am truly thankful to have a professional firm like yours to handle our property."

"All dealings with Nicholas have been businesslike and have reached a successful conclusion. Throughout our dealings he was honourable and ethical, making our relationship positively conclusive.I have known Nicholas for approximately 15 years.

Robin Hill


President at Carewest Properties Ltd.

"I was a US owner of two income rental condos in Vancouver a few years back and was having some problems with the person who was managing my places. I had to end that relationship, and not knowing the real estate arena in Vancouver, I went to the internet. Nic had (still has!!) the most informative and wonderful videos of himself videos of himself addressing different aspects of the real estate market in BC. I called, left a msg, and in under a minute, he returned my call. Long story short, Nic helped me deal with some sticky issues, recommended some contractors to me, for which he did not charge me, and he ended up selling both of my condos for me. I can’t say enough about Nic and his crew. He has over 25 years of experience, is extremely personable, and really knows his stuff. I felt I could trust him, and it turned out to be true. How often does that happen? :)"
