From the initial appointment with Mike, we found him to be personable, courteous and knowledgeable. Unlike other agents we had dealt with in the past, Mike came having completed his research and ready to outline his marketing plan.
We were subsequently impressed by his punctuality; follow up letter and other correspondence and information. Prior to listing our home, Mike had the house professionally photographed and electronically diagrammed. We know that this contributed directly to the speed and interest generated in our house and the resulting multiple offers Mike presented after only one day on the market. Calm in the stress of the resulting negotiations Mike has our enduring gratitude for his sage assistance in completing the deal and in maximizing our selling price.
Highly experienced, utterly reliable and tremendously effective, it was a pleasure to sell our home through an agent of Mike's calibre. As a direct result, we were pleased to confidently recommend Mike as the agent of choice to one of John's work colleagues. Although we have departed Victoria for points east, we hope to return and work with Mike again in the years ahead.

We really enjoyed working with Mike to sell our house. It was our first time as sellers and Mike was so knowledgeable and patient that it took a lot of stress off of us. Knowing we both worked and had a young child he was always considerate and understanding in regards to presenting our home to potential buyers. Now that we're looking for a home to buy we look forward to working with Mike again and have recommended him to family and friends. We thank Mike for working so hard and putting our best interests first.

We were very satisfied with Mike Lock as our REALTOR®. He was at all times professional, diligent in the pursuit of the sale of our home, and always available by phone and/or returned calls promptly. We would highly recommend him to anyone requiring an honest, hard working REALTOR®.

I want to thank you very much for finding the perfect home in Cobble Hill and selling my house in Victoria at a great price within a matter of weeks. You were very patient with me over the past many, many months of my search for the elusive "this is it" house and property! I'm sure you often wondered if I would ever make a purchase but I never, ever had the feeling that you were giving up on me. You were always searching enthusiastically to show me the next round of properties that had just come onto the market. Thank you again for all your help with my purchase and my sale. I would highly recommend you to any friends and family looking for, or selling real estate.

We just wanted to thank you again for your dedication and honesty regarding the purchase of our first home. The task seemingly overwhelming for us given the state of the real estate market, but with your knowledge, patience, and especially your humour, you kept us focused, productive and most importantly, sane. We are so glad that friends referred us to you and we will certainly do the same for friends who wish to buy or sell their home in the future. For now, we intend to fully enjoy our townhouse and look forward to your realty expertise again for future home purchases. We don't know what we would have done without your help.
-Ernie and Tracy
It has been my pleasure to work with you these past couple of months. I have worked with real estate agents in the past, yet none of them demonstrated the level of integrity and honesty that you displayed to me. I also appreciated your patience and support in finding the perfect home for me. Last of all, when I finally located that right home you were a tough negotiator and as a result, I paid less than the asking price and in todays' market that is no easy feat. I will not hesitate to recommend you to all of my friends and family for I have complete confidence you will do a spectacular job in helping them find their perfect home.

Mike Lock was a true pleasure to work with. We really appreciated his no nonsense attitude and dedication to selling our home. We were working in a short time frame with a firm price and with Mike's determined attitude our condo was sold in half of the average sale time! We will, without a doubt, continue to use Mike for all of our future real estate needs.
