The Wolf of Whistler, also known as David Nagel, has excelled in the real estate industry with his outstanding track record.

On top of that, we learned that David’s an award-winning realtor recognized as one of the Top 3 Realtors in Whistler by the readers of the Pique Newsmagazine.

What we like most about him is his determination to put in the time and effort to make everything as seamless as possible — it’s like he doesn’t even sleep!

We also think his innovativeness and problem-solving skills are impressive. For instance, he can complete complex deals from listing to closing in two weeks, which is worth every praise given how competitive the industry is.

It’s also worth noting that David has an independent team of creatives that can produce multiple ways or campaigns to maximize the exposure of your property. And kudos to them for having the resources to create drone shots, 3D plans, social media blasts, and more.

Although, we noticed that he has limited focus on low to mid-end properties since he primarily works with luxury real estate. But he still provides his services regardless of price point.

Lastly, we like that The Wolf of Whistler is available 24/7 to answer your questions and ease your worries. Plus, David is very responsive and will be on the phone with you for two hours just to give you all the info you need!

Dave Brown from Whistler Real Estate has over 20 years of helping clients buy and sell properties and has completed over 300 Whistler real estate transactions.

We believe that one of Dave’s competitive edges is the connection and network he has up his sleeves — from insurance to inspection to banking — giving him an inside scoop on the current market competition and trends.

Another thing we like is how he prioritizes his client’s needs and interests. So, whether you’re buying or selling your property, he’ll hear out every query and concern. 

He also goes above and beyond to look for places to match your interests, including properties not listed on the market yet!

But, just a heads up, you might not have that much to choose from if you’re looking for something below $500,000.

Moreover, we found that they have limited services for property promotions and exposure, which we think is a shame, given the boost in online and social media traffic.

Regardless, we are pleasantly surprised with how they can keep up in a competitive market, especially in helping their clients close deals that are well within the desired price range.

Finally, we have to give props to Dave for his professionalism and integrity in dealing and transacting with buyers and sellers — ensuring regular updates and communication.

What impresses us about Matthew Callaghan is his exceptional knowledge of the area, its market and things only a local would know. We found that this upper hand allowed him to always match client interests with the closing deal.

It’s admirable how he takes “client-first” seriously, and it applies to all his clients — old and new clients alike.

For instance, whether you’re looking to buy an off-grid property or someone associated with a co-op, Matthew won’t hesitate to give you his full attention. And this doubles as the perfect matchmaker for sellers with tricky properties and locations.

However, we noticed that he might not have that much variety in services to promote your property in an out-of-the-box way. Still, we have to give him a hand with the network of local experts he has.

As for the variety of properties, we like that he has experience dealing with different types of buildings and neighbourhoods. 

It’s also worth mentioning that Matthew offers free home appraisals, including comparisons to other homes that have recently sold or are on the market. In addition, he doesn’t need access to your property, and all you have to do is supply details about your property and wait.

Finally, we appreciate his proactivity in organizing and presenting timelines, making the entire process super easy, transparent, and stress-free! 

Dean Linnell of The Linnell Group Whistler Real Estate is another excellent realtor with over 25 years of industry experience and knowledge. That said, we are impressed at his track record of successfully closing deals for over 1,300 homes.

His outstanding local expertise can help you buy and sell any property Whistler can offer – from one-bedroom condos to multi-family properties and everyone in between.

Luckily, Dean and his team guarantee immediate response to any questions, emails, concerns and follow-ups. And from what we’ve seen, this is best for those with no prior experience with the inner workings of real estate transactions, just call and ask away!

We also like that they make YouTube videos and actually post virtual tours to promote an online house-hunting experience. In fact, some clients have purchased a home sight unseen until they moved in.

But, we think they could develop this further if they had an independent team of creatives to produce high-quality materials other than YouTube tours.

Nonetheless, we appreciate how Dean uses his connections for referrals and create a better experience for you. In the end, this has also played a part in allowing him to achieve quick turnaround times for buying and selling homes.

In our books, what stood out the most about Meg McLean is how organized she and her team are, from home evaluations to buying and selling properties.

This also includes the systems and protocols they have in place, which makes every paperwork, event or person where they’re supposed to be — taking “get your ducks in a row” to a whole nother level!

Another thing that impressed us is how calm and collected Meg is, especially when an issue pops into the equation, it’s as if she’s seen it all, and nothing fazes her.

It’s worth noting how she goes above and beyond to assist her clients, down to minor repairs, cleaning, and even picking up the keys for a purchase. For instance, Meg has helped remote clients who did the majority of their interactions online, yet everything was still settled perfectly.

However, we think they can work on creating their own marketing team that can produce promotional materials in different ways, especially since we noticed that they don’t have much exposure compared to other realtors.

Regardless, we’ve noted multiple praises from other sales agents and fellow realtors for how well she collaborates with them to close a successful deal.

Overall, we believe Meg McLean can think on her feet and be your go-to realtor for a well-organized and hassle-free process.
