why garry oak.

Garry Oak trees are a rare and endangered species unique to the Pacific Coast. They consistently thrive in challenging conditions, they are hyperlocal, and there is definitely something about them that is nuts. These descriptions can also apply to Nick and Mike and we associate a lot of our personal history and memories with these trees and the region we all share.

“Mike and Nick are strategic, empowering and thorough. They guided me step by step through the purchase and financing of my very first home!!  I now have a home that I love and will work for me long term.  They gave me a huge advantage in a competitive market.”

Hugh Pollock

When we were ready to take the jump and buy a home together, Nick was the first person to come to mind.  He is professional, a wealth of knowledge and has so much experience both as a realtor and as a mortgage broker.  Nick was able to walk us through the process from start to finish and answer any questions we had – and we had many! He kept us informed and up-to-date every step of the way and worked diligently to ensure we found the perfect house for us to make our home.

Not only is Nick great at his job, he is also an all around great guy. The house buying (and selling) process is so stressful and Nick was kind and patient and available for us. Despite a few challenges, he was able to help us secure financing and make our dream a reality!

If you are looking to buy or sell your home we couldn’t recommend Nick enough!
