“Over the years I have come to know Mark and have valued his market knowledge, professionalism and strategic advice…Mark and his team strategically assessed the opportunity and its highest and best use potential and were excellent in their ability to articulate and package this to the market.”
-Mark Sager, Sale of Silva Bay Marina
"I have found Mark Lester to be professional, personable, knowledgeable and a strong strategic thinker. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to represent the sale of any commercial or agricultural real estate asset."
-Meryle Corbett, Board Member Stewart Brothers Nurseries
"Mark took the time providing us with critical advice and an excellent overview of conditions in the market and the potential value of our site. He also proved to be very adept at qualifying the purchaser’s capabilities and aggressively negotiating on our behalf."
-Joel McLean, President Pan Canadian Mortgage Group
I doubt that any real estate agent in British Columbia could have done a better job for our family than Mark Lester. We had a unique island property, passed down by our parents, located at the center of a provincial marine park. Mark advertised our island effectively and ultimately helped us obtain a fair market price in a sale to the Province, ensuring that our beloved island would be protected and enjoyed by the public for many years. Mark’s professionalism and capabilities helped guide us in our decisions, and he communicated with us all along the way. Mark is honest, straight-forward, and reliable. I recommend him without reservation!
-J. Kimball
