Attention to detail and prompt service are what sets our team apart.

Suzi, I want to thank you again for leading me through this transaction. Right from the beginning you took the time to understand my motivation in purchasing a property in Whistler and quickly focused our efforts on the most appropriate properties. Your knowledge of the local market, responsiveness and analytical approach allowed me to move forward quickly and with confidence despite my limited knowledge/exposure to Whistler. If I ever need to buy/sell real estate in Whistler in the future I will be sure to call you.

John, I also appreciate your experience and guidance with this transaction (even for a Leaf fan). Based on this experience I can understand why you and your team are top producers in Whistler. I learned early in business that you always want the best people on your side and in this case I made the right choice.

Thank you Chrissy. My Mom has been very impressed with you throughout this process and is glad she has found a good realtor in Whistler.

We have used John for all our Whistler real estate transactions for the past 20 years. He is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. John is a man of conviction to the point he would rather lose a commission than represent us in what he believes would be an inappropriate transaction. It is no surprise to us that John is Whistler’s top realtor.

In my dealings with John Ryan of The Whistler Real Estate Co. Ltd. in purchasing a luxury residence in Whistler John provided thorough and professional service from the beginning to the end of the negotiations. I always felt that my interests were John’s top priority and I know I will enjoy a place of my own in beautiful Whistler, BC.

I have known John Ryan for over 20 years. Having done business with him at Whistler I can speak to his professionalism, competance and integrity without hesitation. John's success, however, goes much deeper than that. He is one of the truly nice human beings you will ever get to know and do business with. It is impossible not to establish a relationship with John that goes beyond 'the deal'. Talk to any of his friends and clients (they usually end up both) and the story is always the same. Do yourself a favor and get to know him.

Dear Heather -

I just want you to know how happy we are with the professional and personal service we have had from Chrissy Robinson and the rest of her team in buying and selling our Whistler real estate. We first had contact with the team back in 2002 when we bought our first condo in First Tracks. Since then, Chrissy has sold that condo for us and another is on the market.

All of Chrissy - and John's - skills really came into play when we bought a house in Blueberry earlier this year. I can't imagine a more difficult and complex negotiation than we what had to go through. We were in touch with Chrissy as least daily - often several times a day - for months as the negotiation dragged on and on. What impressed us most was Chrissy constant professionalism and insistence that everything be properly documented. Despite some rather un-orthodox maneuvering on the part of the seller, Chrissy never lost her cool or her incredibly cheerfulness. Chrissy's has kept in touch with us since the deal was finally completed and has been an enormous help in giving me a list of workmen, decorators, painters, etc. She is a real asset to Whistler Real Estate and I have recommended her to any friends looking to buy or sell real estate in the Whistler area.

Regards, Suzanne Hudson, Old Greenwich, CT

Dear Chrissy, Marika, and John,

Thank you so much for the two framed photos of the house at 8464 Matterhorn for mom and I. With the copies on the CD we will be able to share the image with the other family members, too. A very thoughtful touch.

We very much appreciated all the work you did for us; the attention to detail and the amazing organization and team support! We also greatly appreciated the care with which you helped us to find the kind of buyer we were looking for - it worked out better than I ever hoped and we couldn't be happier about it. THANK YOU Thank you THANK YOU

Hope all of you have a great winter,

Karen Overgaard, Whistler BC

Dear John,
I'm sure you are aware that we took transfer of the above property last week. Very exciting!!
This email is to let you know how amazing Suzi was throughout the long and complicated process. She was an incredible font of information, yet had no compunction in admitting if she had to find something out or confer with you. She took the time to explain everything in great detail. I always felt I was in the loop. She also made sure I never wavered, by providing encouragement and regular feed back by email and telephone. She kept me on my toes too with gentle chivying, which I needed at times.
To work with her was truly a delightful experience. I think you are very likely to have such a likeable, competent, dedicated professional as your associate. I will miss her calls.
Best wishes,

Michele Matter
