My sister, and I couldn't get a hold of our father, we were both quite a few kilometres away to check on him. my sister found a number for what she thought was the strata and called the strata, it turns out the strata was Michael Thorne. Michael had sold properties in my father's housing complex, which is why his number was easily found.

Michael had no affiliation with the Strada, but in the middle of November, he put on his flip-flops and ran over to my father's house, not knowing anything about us as he was just around the corner.

Our dad needed to go to the hospital and Michael was the first one on scene, again having never seen our faces.

We chose Michael as our agent on that principal and he absolutely exceeded our expectations in every single way, handling the sale of the property after my father passed away.

We would choose Michael over and over, Not just for being a good human, but for being an exceptional sales agent.

Our friends recommended Trisha of Thorne Maisey Bongers Real Estate Group to us.

My husband and I were interested in helping our adult children get into the real estate market so we contacted Trisha. She was always professional and friendly. She returned our phone calls and emails promptly and patiently helped us navigate our way to finally purchasing in this difficult real estate market. Trisha was especially skilled at discerning and dealing with the varying needs and questions of each of us.

We had a very positive experience with Trisha of Thorne Maisey Bongers Real Estate Group and would highly recommend her.

It can be stressful buying or selling a home but Michael Thorne made the process easy. He knew when I was feeling nervous or stressed and took the extra time to communicate the information I needed to put my nerves at ease.

He is talented in marketing strategies and sold our condo for the highest comparable sale in the building, 11% over asking.

Michael Thorne’s passion for his community, and his dedication of time to it, was a big factor when selecting him.

When planning showings he considered my criteria and focused on showing me properties that contained as many of those elements as possible.

While Michael was very professional, friendly (and many more good qualities too!) an option even stronger than excellent is required for the patience category! Rarely have I met someone as patient as he.

We had an amazing experience and could not have been happier. We were not the easiest couple to find the perfect place for nor the easiest to show places to as we have a 3 yr old and 1 yr old, however Jorda and Trisha were beyond patient, understanding and helpful. We found the perfect place to call home thanks to all their efforts. Michael made up a virtual doll house of our new home so that we could get the best perspective of where our furniture would go in upon moving. Jorda walked us through purchasing our home step by step and made sure that we were knowledgable on all aspects of the purchase. We will use Thorne Maidey Bongers Real Estate Group for any selling and purchasing in the future.

They had a proven track record with me and I was familiar and confident in their negotiating skills.

They went above and beyond to communicate even on weekends and while they were away on holidays.

They have proven themselves to be able to handle complicated sales environments. I have sold three properties and purchased two with them and would do so with them again.

We first contacted TMB (Trisha, to be precise) in May 2016 when we were living in London, UK. Right from the outset Trish was incredibly helpful as we grappled with the plans and complexity of moving from the UK to BC. She was always available to help us remotely while we were still so far away.

When we finally came over to view properties in Langley in July 2016, Trish was way ahead of us with planning things; and while the market was hot (and many of the properties we wished to look at had already sold) Trish had sourced many options for us and arranged viewings around our tight - and rather jetlagged schedule.

Trish offered ideas, options amd areas that we had not even considered and we actually ended up buying one of the properties in an area that we had not even considered before coming. We are so thankful for this - we love Murrayville!

The property we bought in 2016 is the one we have just sold through TMB and this time around we have enjoyed the company of Trish, Jorda and Michael during the process of preparing our place for sale and finding/buying our new home.

We could not be happier with the results and we are so excited to be moving. We are so glad we made that phone call three and a half years ago, it's made a huge difference to us.

Patient, knowledgeable about the area, well informed about how to sell and buy, fun to work with and always available to assist with the wrinkles that come up in the process of buying a new place. We recommend TMB to anyone who is looking to buy a new home.

The attention to detail, personal communication, down to earth demeanour and outright professionalism sets this group apart from all other realtors I've ever worked with. This group will work tirelessly until you are satisfied, happy and worry free. Thank you Michael, Jorda and Trish for making a stressful experience and easy one.
