Thank you, John, for the outstanding work you did in selling our home on West Coast Road. Your unique combination of impeccable professionalism with a very personal touch was much appreciated. We particularly admired your willingness to keep us informed every step of the way. We will have no hesitation whatever in recommending you to others should the occasion arise.

P. & M. Jones


Frankly, John, I don’t think I have ever witnessed anyone so dedicated to their profession. You are at the top of your field, most deservedly, and I have to say that I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who wanted to sell their property. Because of your hard work you made my life easier, and for that I thank you (and my father does too).

D. Hamilton


John, thank you for all the effort you put into selling our house. You never cease to amaze me with how fast you managed to sell this house as well as my other homes. You are #1 in my book. When I am in the position to purchase another house, you will be the “one” realtor I will phone! Thank you so much.

John, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your effort and professionalism in handling the sale of my property.

M. & T. Page


Of course, we expected to receive excellent professional service when we chose you to be our Realtor, John. However, it was the genuine concern and thoughtfulness that you exhibited which elevated from excellent to superlative It is the “going the extra mile” that we truly appreciated. Thank you.

J. & J. Allan


John, we would like to express our appreciation for the wonderful service you provided. Your professionalism is unquestionable but beyond that you showed a warmth and humour that helped immensely in the sale of our home. We have bought and sold a lot of homes but never, until our dealings with you, have we used the same agent twice. When we decided to sell our home we did not hesitate – we simply picked up the phone and called you.

D. & B. Carlaw


John, it has been a real pleasure to have such a professional realtor to work with. Your pleasant manner and sincere concern has shown at all times.

E. & K. Lewis


John, due to your efforts my house was sold within 1 week of listing it on the market. What fabulous service! During the negotiating process, you offered your support and experience which resulted in a sale price that was 98% of the listing price. Your negotiation expertise surpassed all expectations. I felt that my personal and financial wellbeing was protected at all times. Your service from beginning to end was unsurpassed. Should the need to move arise again, you will be my first and only phone call to a real estate agent.

L. Apted


John, thank you for your help in the recent sale of our home and in the negotiation of the purchase of a new residence in Victoria. We were impressed with your professional attitude and appreciate all the help given to us by you and your office staff. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone else who needed the assistance of a realtor and are confident that you would work tirelessly for your client’s interest.

P. & S. Crober


Thank you, John, so much for helping us buy our dream home! Your patience, knowledge and kindness are so appreciated. We still talk about how wonderful it was to work with you and your office and recommend you to everyone we know. Thanks for making the process so easy and stress-free for us.

L. Overton & V. Lamontagne


It was a pleasure working with you on our oceanfront property purchase & thank you for your help & recommendations. We’re very excited about the purchase & about getting back to Canada. On a personal note, after the rather painful process of dealing with real estate agents in London & Dubai, it was an absolute pleasure working with someone so professional & knowledgeable & you helped make the process smooth – we wouldn’t be here without you, John, and that is very must appreciated.

A. Kedzierski & T. Tait


We have purchased and sold five family homes throughout Western Canada over the past two decades. During this move to Victoria we were unfamiliar with the area and chose John based solely on his online presence and the level of professionalism that was apparent in his listings. We thought that a realtor that took that much care to properly present a home for sale was likely a good choice to help us with our purchase. This proved correct and we could not have been happier with the guidance and attention to detail we received, It was simply exemplary service and I will not hesitate to use John again or recommend him to friends or family.

P & D Lutman


John, and now his partner, Johnny, put the PROFESSIONAL in Real Estate Professional. Our house sale in the Sooke area went so well, so quickly, and so seamlessly because of our complete faith in John Vernon. His reputation preceded him, and it enabled us to concentrate on all the other details necessary for our move to Alberta while John took care of everything to do with the house sale. His relaxed, friendly manner coupled with immediate response to questions and concerns, made him so easy to work with. I know we were fortrunate to have the very best of the best in the Real Estate field. We also met John’s son, Johnny, before we left, and can see what a great team they will make. To anyone in the Victoria area who is contemplating selling your home, make life easy for yourself and call John or Johnny Vernon. You just can’t do any better than having them on your team.

C & J Calder

D. & P. Roux


Thank you so much for your help selling our home so quickly! My husband and I only have positive things to say about John and Johnny Vernon; their attention to detail and professionalism were second to none. They provided us with detailed information that helped us understand the local market and determine an appropriate asking price for our home. They were prompt and punctual in all their dealings and always available by email and phone. Their amazing service led to a lightning fast sale of our home in a cooling market. I would enthusiastically recommend the Vernons to friends and family and would not hesitate to work with them again myself.

J. Duncan

J. & K. Green


John Vernon Sr. and Johnny Vernon were referred to us when we needed a realtor and we have since used their services twice over the past few months. It has been an absolute pleasure working with John and Johnny. They were always quick to respond to us, kept us informed every step of the way and took the time to explain anything we did not fully understand. They were always professional and worked hard to get us what we needed when both buying and selling. We couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience and highly recommend John Vernon and Associates.

P. & S. Lunness


We appreciate all your help on all sides of our deal, things certainly couldn’t have worked out better.

L & C Larsen


We cannot say enough good things about the John Vernon team, they have been an absolute pleasure to work with. We consulted with multiple Realtors who we just didn’t connect with before we found John, Johnny and Dennis. They are warm and genuine people who truly care about their clients and understand the emotions involved in selling and buying a home. We trusted them fully with all of their recommendations in doing so, they sold our home in record time for a price which exceeded our expectations, and helped us buy our new dream home. We are forever grateful for the John Vernon Team.
