Scott Handyside - Royal LePage West Real Estate Services

Scott Handyside found the perfect condo with garden for me in 2015, and in 2018 he sold this property for me while exceeding my expectations. He is professional, considerate, great with communications and brilliant with strategy. The contractors and stagers he recommended for renovations and showings also exceeded my expectations. I would refer Scott to friends and family without reservation.

This was my first time buying a condo and Scott made the whole process easy. He was great at listening to what my preferences were and working with me to find the right home. Buying a home can be a daunting process but he was great at explaining all the steps from what to expect in the current market to what to expect when making an offer. A professional through and through I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a home to consider using his services.

I was referred to Scott by a work colleague. Scott was AMAZING very patient, knowledgeable and a great realtor! I took a very long time to buy my 1st home (over 6 months of searching for the right place) and during the countless open houses and viewings Scott didn't question my commitment once. When I did finally find my dream home Scott negotiated and got me a great deal. He is a fantastic realtor and an awesome guy. Recently when it came time to sell my home I of course chose to work with Scott. I wouldn't work with anyone else! Scott sold my place quickly and again negotiated very strongly to get me almost my asking price even with 2 other similar listings in the building recently put on the market. I've referred numerous people to Scott, all of whom have had a similar awesome experience in buying their homes. I can't recommend Scott highly enough!

As first time home buyers, the process can be very daunting, but Scott has made it easier to digest the information and has taken us through the process seamlessly. We would be lost without him! Scott is very knowledgeable and has given us tremendous advice. We would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you for all your efforts and advice, Scott!

My partner and I just bought our first home, and we were so thankful to have Scott Handyside guiding us through the process. I feel a total sense of trust in Scott, and would be pleased to recommend him as a realtor to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. From our first meeting, we enjoyed Scott's warm and friendly demeanour, and his sense of humour. This helped us stay grounded throughout our home search, which as most people know can be a very stressful process, particularly for first-time buyers such as ourselves, and especially in the heated sellers' market currently in place in the Greater Vancouver area. Scott is an excellent listener, and we felt that he had an excellent understanding of our needs. He was very patient with us as we figured out exactly what we were looking for, which is not always easy to know when first embarking on the home ownership journey. From our first meeting, we received so much great information and guidance from Scott, to help us get up to speed about so many different aspects of a real estate transaction. Scott was very clear and helpful in answering my endless questions, and I felt like we became much more confident in making this big decision because of the expert advice we received from Scott along the way. We really felt that Scott had our best interests at heart. If we inquired about or viewed a property that he thought would not be right for us, Scott was very candid in sharing concerns which we might not have recognized. He definitely put our needs ahead of making a quick sale. Throughout the process, I felt like we were Scott's most important clients. He is an excellent communicator, and also very prompt in responding to messages...and that's saying a lot because I sent him a lot of messages!! His internet listings service has a really great layout and user-friendly interface. When we were in a time-sensitive process of making an offer and needing some changes signed by all parties, his office had software for signing by email (which I understand is not standard for all agents), and it definitely helped us to get the purchase agreement finalized. Little things like that can make a big difference when the stakes are so high and the timeline is so pressing, in a market where a seller may have multiple offers the day of the first open house. We are confident that Scott's advice helped us to secure the winning bid (while still in our budget) in a multi-offer scenario, where we had to act very quickly to be competitive. We moved into our home this week, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you, Scott!
