Testimonials

Five stars seem insufficient when it comes to rating the incredible experience we had with Tina and Guy. As a couple looking for our next home from afar, we could not have chosen better realtors. From our very first conversation we were impressed with their level of knowledge, their focus on our priorities and their warm, friendly approach. Over the months of working with Tina and Guy we knew that we were in the best of hands – no question too trivial, frequent research done on our behalf, impressive understanding of our needs and of the Gabriola community and responses so prompt that we felt like their only clients! With Tina and Guy’s help we found the home that amazingly met everything on our wish list and more. They continued to be very supportive and empathic during the somewhat nerve racking days of negotiating with the sellers to land the deal – from early morning to late evenings – it felt like we had good friends looking out for us. We are in their debt and look forward to joining the community Tina and Guy so clearly love. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

Tina was terrific. Communication was excellent and emails were answered within a day. My sale had the potential to be difficult and she was able to find the right buyers, using her extensive knowledge of the niche market that is Gabriola. She was always kind and respectful. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Best Realtors Ever! We can’t say enough about the professionalism, kindness and thoughtful attention to detail that Tina and Guy brought to our recent sale. There were some tricky aspects to navigate, and they both went above and beyond to make sure that the sale went as smoothly and easily as possible. The photos and video marketing materials were just a “wow”, and they helped with so much, including installing some closet accessories. Not only are they experts at their job, they are exceptionally lovely and caring people – it’s a true family-based business, and we recommend them so highly.

Todd/Chris

Tina and Guy came highly recommended to me by friends who had also used them to purchase on Gabriola. The service I received from them was top notch, but what I appreciated even more was their knowledge and candour. My purchase on Gabriola was very atypical. And it took a long time to complete. They stayed totally committed to helping me get across the finish line and went above and beyond. They were an excellent source of information on how things could get done (knowing which trades were the best) and weren’t afraid to tell me what I needed to know when we came to controversial legal decisions. They were diplomatic and forthright and this helped me make the decisions that were best for me. I would absolutely recommend them without hesitation. Any oh yes – they are supper nice with great sense of humour!

If you are looking for an easy pleasant and financially lucrative real estate transaction Tina and Guy are 5 Star.

After a stressful week trying to work with a Vancouver realtor I found The Lynch Team.

Tina and Guy arrived at my home a few hours after I called them. The following day pictures by drone and camera were taken and posted. I was concerned that the pictures were so good that prospective buyers would find in-person viewings pale in comparison.

Wrong. Four days later my place was SOLD. At a profitable price with no subjects attached.

Tina and Guy were always immediately available and always professional and reassuring.

They feel like family…good family.

Seven years ago (almost to the day) we moved to Gabriola, a decision we will never regret. Tina and Guy helped us every step of the way for over a year. Tina was infinitely patient showing us the same property 7 times (at night, to our friends and family, again, when we had forgotten what a room looked like, etc.), as well as several other possible homes. I really appreciated Tina’s discretion, steering us in the right direction to find the perfect spot for OUR needs. She was never judgmental or critical, but described certain geographical locations on Gabriola in realistic terms (wind, noise, popular beaches, mudflats) so that we neophytes would be completely aware and happy with our purchase decision. No buyer’s remorse with Tina and Guy! Once moved in, Tina and Guy have continued to help us find tradespeople, and navigate real estate issues. Tina is the consummate professional; patient, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. “Nice Guy” is just that; he located and removed a wasp nest for us on day 1 of moving in, helped get our propane stove working, and explained many aspects of life on Gabriola. Our experience with these two has been nothing but positive, and 7 years later, I still highly recommend putting your trust in them to negotiate any real estate needs.

We were lucky enough to deal with Tina and Guy on a couple of occasions.

Friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable about Gabriola Island, they were a joy to work with. They always had time for our many questions and provided all the background information on properties (including local histories and knowledge about the local experiences and treasures on the island). These truly are the professionals you want to help you find your island getaway.

Maureen and Wayne

Phenomenal team, that pretty much sums it up.

We were introduced to Tina and Guy by the listing Realtor for the home we bought. They were fantastic to deal with and a 1000 times better than the Realtors we used to sell our home! There should be a selection under “What do like about this business” that says Excellent Quality, instead of Good Quality.

If you are looking for a Realtor to represent you, then I’d suggest you call this team first…you will not be disappointed.

Marc Boyd

We are extremely grateful to Tina and Guy for their superior knowledge, passion and commitment while both purchasing and selling our home. Tina is thorough and meticulous, not to mention a talented photographer. Guy is well-versed on the construction end and would be there in a heartbeat to help with anyone with anything. The day after we bought our house the septic alarm was going off in the middle of the night and Guy was there at the crack of dawn to help us. They are both kind extraordinary people who go above and beyond to really get to know their clients and form long-lasting genuine relationships.
Jane Butson

Both you and guy were the best, a pleasure to deal with, very informative and in my opinion you went above and beyond my expectations in helping me in my search for the right home. Which you helped facilitate and I could not be happier in my new to me home. I would and have recommended you to anyone that I know that was or is in need of a professional pair of realtors. You are such a thoughtful and caring couple.

For sure you will be my realtor if I ever need your services. All the best,

Michael Hellyer

Hi Tina and Guy,

We have been meaning to write to you for some time to express our appreciation for your help in purchasing our new home on Gabriola. Thanks so much for your excellent support and knowledgeable assistance throughout the whole process. We have really enjoyed meeting you both and would not hesitate to recommend you to others who are considering buying or selling property here.

All the best,

Gary and Judy

It is long overdue for June and I to thank you both for all the help and advice we received.

At our age, we have bought and sold homes for many years…without doubt the professional and expert advice was above and beyond what we expected.

This is probably our last move…if any folks are in need of a realtor in the future and want to talk to a happy customer…we can answer all the questions.

Words cannot express our gratitude to both of you.

JUNE AND FRED

PS: CONTINUED SUCCESS TO YOUR FIRM

Tina and Guy are the perfect team: Guy shows you the properties you want and those you haven’t thought of that may be a good fit. He will zip around the island with you and make you feel like you’re his only client; he is friendly, knowledgeable and patient.

Tina gets the paperwork ready for you to review in your inbox before you think about asking; she replies to questions in emails at a lightening speed and doesn’t leave any stones un-turned. Both of them remain completely available throughout the entire process. They really go above and beyond expectations.

Thank you for helping us find the perfect home. We will be referring you to any friends or acquaintances because of your excellent service, care and most definitely patience.

We appreciate Guy taking us through so many houses. Thank you for helping us obtain this gem 💎 looking out for our best interests and arranging the closing date in a reasonable but quick time. You are rock star agents.

Steve & Judy

Tina and Guy will make your dreams a reality. Planning for a retirement cottage is on many people’s bucket list and Tina and Guy will make it happen for you. I cannot thank Guy enough for being ferry pick-up driver, advisor, counsel, historian, virtually a walking Gabriola Island real estate encyclopedia of knowledge. After seeing many options during the search, Guy and Tina assisted and handled the sale quickly, adeptly and without any challenges while I was traveling out of country. Tina was so professional and diligent in ensuring that all paperwork was accurately completed without any delay and was available to answer any questions that I had from afar. They are both top of their class, amazing realtors but also the most genuine and helpful team that I have met in a long time. Thank you again for making my Island dream come true.
Brian

We bought and sold with Tina and they were exceptional. So informative in explaining different scenarios. They understood our family and helped us find a home that would be perfect. We loved it for 6 years. They helped us consider all the aspects of island living and made the move on and off the island a wonderful experience.
Lesley & Brett

Great, you’ve decided to live in the most scenic, peaceful, friendly place in Canada… quite possibly the world. What’s next?

You’re going to want to chat with someone with the most in-depth and intimate knowledge of Gabriola, and of the homes for sale here. That would be Guy and Tina. With combined Gabriola real estate experience of over 20 years combined, they know the place, and the places, like no one else.

We know this, because my wife and I just made the big move. And we simply couldn’t have done it without these incredible, lovely people.

Sure, Guy was our buying realtor. But that job description doesn’t even come close to covering everything he did. Try adding chauffeur, yellow pages, cleaner, fridge lender, wood chopper, negotiator, contractor wrangler… and the list goes on.

He’s not just the most helpful realtor we’ve ever met in our lives, he’s also one of the nicest people. This team is the right one, not just help you find the right home, in the right place, at the right price—but to get the rest of your life in Gabriola started out right, too.
