Testimonials

Chris was quick to respond and give insight into buying my new property. No pressure, good advice and a quick wrap up. Recommended!
-Jurjen Ratsma

Chris is an amazing real estate agent to say the least! Our journey with him was an amazing experience from start to finish. Hands-on at every turn, response time immediately to 30 minutes. Our stress level was a bit high after selling our house and needing a property to move into within a 30-day timeframe. Chris endured our high-maintenance situation with a quiet, calm and professionalism beyond the call of duty. We were able to find our dream place within 24 hours of looking at several properties and negotiating a successful offer. From then on it was smooth sailing all the way. Being a recently retired real estate agent myself, Chris made me feel he had our back. We highly recommend Chris to you and all our friends and family. Awesome real estate agent!! Did I mention his stunning house warming gift with a lot of thought put into it!!
-Maureen and Bob Davidson

Chris helped us at every step along the way with purchasing our first home. He is knowledgeable, professional, and very prompt with communication. He came highly recommended and we now have no hesitation to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

When a property we had wanted for a long time came onto the market, we knew we had to act quickly and strategically with a realtor we could trust. Chris Barron was my first call, and picked up right away. Chris offered exceptionally proficient, professional and thoughtful advice from start to finish. Thank you Chris, for turning our wish into
reality!

Chris had the patience of a saint while guiding my partner (kind of clueless) and I (very clueless) through the purchase of our first home! He made the whole process less stressful and we are now incredibly happy in our new house. Very responsive and clearly dedicated to his work and clients. Thank you Chris!
-Fern Morrissette

Chris was extremely helpful to us (first time home buyers) in every step of the buying process. He was professional, hardworking and was very responsive which made the home buying process much less stressful.
-Shane Gill

Wouldn't ever use a different realtor! This was an incredible experience for us, Chris talked us through every step, answered every question and was available every time we needed anything. Even when we were just starting to look and weren't ready to buy, he always made time to show us any property we wanted. He found us our perfect home within our price range and talked us through the entire process. As a first time home buyer, I am so grateful for the support we got from Chris as we navigated this huge step in our lives. 11/10 would use again!!
-Nicole Wright

We recently relocated within Parksville and had the good fortune to work with an outstanding real estate agent, Chris Barron, Chris began the process by patiently taking us through steps for listing our current home and then providing us with information and visits to several homes that caught our interest. We never felt pressured throughout the process and are now happily enjoying our new home and location. We appreciated Chris' efforts on our behalf and would recommend him without hesitation.

-Nancy Douglas and Gordon Gilmour


It was our pleasure to work with Chris and have him sell our house. Given the existing state of the real estate market he took our many questions, found answers and worked with us to establish the best selling price. His professional thoughts were always very welcome and based on his integrity! If you are ever looking for a Real Estate Agent on Vancouver Island we highly recommend him and would most certainly use his services again!

-Chris and Andy Farquharson


From start to finish Chris was a joy to work with. Friendly, informative and extremely knowledgeable with all the questions we fired at him. I would thoroughly recommend him as your realtor.

-Linda Matthews


Chris Barron was an amazing agent for us. Finding a home that solved both my creative need and my husband's need for garage space was not an easy task! He worked for many months, searching, and forwarding choices for us to see. Coming over on the ferry to buy a home is not the easiest task, but Chris was ALWAYS ready for us with great options to see. He has a wonderful knowledge of the areas he services, details that could cause issues, and contract writing. I'm happy to say we finally found our home and are now making it ours! Many thanks to Chris for all his help and continued support in our venture!

-Mel and Judy Deeter



We have nothing but good things to say about our experience working with Chris to find us a house in Parksville. As new listings came up, we could count on Chris being available and ready to show them. His knowledge and experience definitely helped us arrive at the right number for our successful bid. We also appreciate his efforts and communication after-sale, as well as the great gift basket!

- John Bonnell



Chris stuck with us through a 2+ year process of trying to buy a house in this tight market, and we finally landed an amazing place in Parksville. He's super friendly, fun to chat to, and highly knowledgeable about his profession. We never felt pressured, and trusted him to act ethically and in our best interest. He's also a pretty decent hockey player ? . Oh and great move-in goody basket ?. Thanks from Heather and I!

-Garrett Quinn and Heather Buckingham



From our initial contact with Chris, we both had the appreciation of professionalism combined with an understanding of the process that made the whole experience pleasant. This included comprehensive photographs (40) plus a video of our home, and a flood of REALTORS and potential buyers, which culminated in several purchase offers after just 6 days. Thanks Chris.

Chris was a great partner in assisting us to find and relocate from Calgary to the mid island region on Vancouver Island. He understood our needs and worked safely and efficiently managing the challenges of buying a home in a Covid constrained market. His no pressure style but honest feedback was greatly appreciated and his expertise was invaluable in managing the nuances of BC real estate and guiding us through the complexities of closing agreements while we remained isolated in Calgary. Chris is a 'good guy' and a great REALTOR to have on your team.

We are writing this testimonial in order to communicate to you what an amazing real-estate agent Chris is. He went above and beyond for us.

- Shawn and Amelia


I currently live in Saskatoon and Chris is helping me find a home on Vancouver Island. His thoroughness, responsiveness and professionalism are unmatched. I highly recommend Chris.

- Dean Owen


We found Chris Barron completely by accident on the internet. We had some pretty specific search criteria and he took time to listen and helped us find exactly the house we wanted. He was patient, courteous and always took our questions and concerns seriously. If there was a question he didn't know the answer to, he found it out. Even though he had no idea whether all his hard work would turn into a sale, he drove us around until we found the home we wanted. The house we bought ended up being the second house we looked at. Chris recommended several people to us for various needs and continues to answer questions and be a resource for us even though the deal is done. He is a solid professional, attentive, gracious, very personable and passionate about his work. We highly recommend Chris to our friends and family without any hesitation.
