"Dave, our real estate agent, exceeded expectations with his impeccable organization, valuable assistance, and a wealth of insightful recommendations. The entire experience was seamless and enjoyable, we would highly recommend Dave to our friends and family."

"Dave was amazing in helping us navigate through the process of buying a new home and selling our old one. We found the process of finding a new home particularly daunting. We like to get a feel for the market and options available before making a big decision. Dave was infinitely patient, presenting us with many properties that met our requirements over an extended period of time, so that we were confident in our choice when we finally found the right one. What we appreciated the most about Dave is that he listened and understood what we were looking for in a new home. He wasn’t interested in pushing us toward an unsuitable property and worked hard for a long time to find us the right one. Then, when it came time to sell our old home, Dave provided very helpful guidance on how to prepare it for sale. He has an extensive network of associates from painters, inspectors, insurance agents and lawyers all of which made the process as painless as possible. Dave also provided very helpful guidance when it came time to negotiate both sales and purchase offers. He provided a lot of research on comparable properties as useful reference points. He also has a great rapport with other agents which is very helpful when it comes time to navigate the offer process especially in a multiple offer environment. We are extremely grateful that we had Dave there to guide us through every step of the purchase and sale process."

"Upon recommendation from a family member, we contacted Dave to sell my parent's estate condominium. From the initial meeting to completion of the sale I found Dave's authentic, practical and dedicated business approach easy to follow and realistic. Dave's accumulation of facts using latest sales of similar condominiums and historical statistics for the North Shore made the many decisions involved in selling easy and understandable. In addition to him paying attention to the smaller details, Dave presented a thorough knowledge of staging, and using the latest drone technology in developing the presentation of marketing materials. My experience with Dave was always pleasant, comfortable and respectful. I wouldn't hesitate to engage Dave's services again and recommend him to anyone considering buying or selling residential property."

"As a first time buyer, Dave made the entire process from searching to signing on the dotted line, seamless. Dave's sincerity and personability was evident right from the start; he wanted to find the absolute best fit for me and ensured that I felt informed and supported throughout the process. Dave is extremely well-organized and attentive. He provided a wealth of information on the buying process through presentations, he checked in with me regularly, fielded countless questions, and came to open houses equipped with background information so I was well-informed. Equally, he asked important questions of the selling agents and was fastidious in his note taking at showings, capturing nuances that don't appear on listing advertisements.
Dave was diligent in understanding my needs and desires, and he encouraged me to be open-minded throughout the process - so much so that I ended up purchasing an apartment I initially ruled out!
I always felt that Dave was working to get the inside track and especially felt that he came through during negotiations when we were in a multiple offer situation. As a client, I know Dave to be trustworthy, dependable, balanced and super genial, and I'm positive this translates in a positive way when he works with other agents to come to a deal. He is a relationship-builder and hard worker, and it was such a pleasure to work with him."

"We highly recommend working with Dave. In fact, we've already recommended Dave to family and would do so again. Dave helped us purchase our first home and we were so pleased with the entire experience. He is knowledgeable, diligent, trustworthy, kind and patient. He made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the process, as he takes the time to thoroughly explain everything and is very attentive and understanding of any questions."

"We cannot recommend Dave any higher. Dave is extremely organized, responsive to all our needs and always a pleasure to deal with. He is first class and knows the market in North/West Vancouver exceedingly well. Dave has helped us sell our home as well as purchase multiple properties in the last year. He was very supportive and patient with us every single step of the way with every transaction. He made the experience of buying and selling our properties very easy for us. In addition, Dave has continued to care for us well past the purchase of our home and other properties to ensure everything was taking care of satisfactorily. Our experience with Dave far exceeds all past experiences with real estate agents and as a result would not consider any other real estate agent when selling/buying a property. I have highly recommended Dave to my close friends and family. If you are looking for a superb real estate agent, look no further. Thank you Dave! "

We came to Dave with a vary vague idea of what we wanted. He helped us explore properties on the North Shore, Squamish, Bowen Island & the Sunshine Coast! We were always VERY impressed and happy to have Dave's wealth of knowledge, providing us with the numbers and stats that helped us better understand the industry and market.
After searching for a home for over 9 months, we ended up shifting our plan and purchased a vacant lot on Bowen Island to build our dream home! Dave made sure we understood all possibilties with every property and was always supportive, even when we changed our minds last minute.
He's trust worthy, provides his honest opinion, and backs up the info with well-researched stats. We highly recommend Dave for your future real estate endeavors and will use him again in the future! "

"Dave is everything you want in a realtor - very informed, attentive and responsive while also being polite, patient and easy going. He made us feel like we were a priority throughout our house hunting process and provided us with all the info we needed in a very timely manner. We have been through many real estate transactions and despite the challenging market, Dave made this the most comfortable experience we have had. We highly recommend Dave and are very thankful for how well things worked out. "

"Dave was recommended to us by a close friend of ours and we would highly recommend Dave to all of our friends.
Our entire experience with Dave was first class. He is easy to talk to, very responsive, and his access and use of technology is wonderful but there are two things we appreciated most about Dave:
1. We had not been in the real estate market for more than 20 years. Novices would be a generous description of our experience. Dave did a terrific job educating us on the process, what we needed to know, and what we were responsible for. He has shared many videos, presentations and other resources with us and hooked us up with a home inspector and a real-estate lawyer.
2. Not once did we feel pressured by Dave. We were looking in the middle of a very hot market that required buyers to be making decisions very quickly and be willing to make as "clean" an offer as possible. Dave never pushed us to make a decision. He repeatedly said this might take months and months to find the right home for us and he was genuinely comfortable with us taking our time. "

"Dave helped me with both the purchase and sale of a home and I was 100% happy with having him as my agent in both instances. He is patient, professional and unbelievably thorough - even going so far as to, on his own initiative, park outside a potential purchase to judge traffic patterns at busy times! On the sale side, he put a lot of time and effort into making my home look its best for pictures and showings and in my mind was instrumental in getting a great offer for my townhome within weeks of listing (when the market for townhouses was somewhat sluggish). I would wholeheartedly recommend Dave to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home on the North Shore."

"Dave came highly recommended by close friends who had also just gone through the process of being first time home buyers. Working with Dave to purchase my first condo was a wonderful experience, as he is an exceptional realtor and very client-focused. His professionalism, tech skills, knowledge of the market, and ability to connect with his clients is first class!
Dave was supportive through the whole process, answering my many questions, and encouraging me to wait for the 'right fit'. In a real estate market such as this one, that level of patience and client support made all the difference for my experience. Getting to know me and my interests, Dave was a great resource on which areas and properties would likely appeal to me.
We found a great condo, and Dave continued to support me through the entire process with his detailed checklists and other resources, making it a smooth sale. I have since been out enjoying all the neighbourhood has to offer - thanks to Dave!"

"After receiving proposals from several realtors, we chose Dave to list our family home because he impressed us with the research he had done and his proposal to market the house. It was a challenging project on many fronts - a falling market, a 60 year old home being sold as part of the estate of the couple who built it by their children who were raised in it, a global pandemic, and a location that turned some buyers off. Dave was hard working and patient. He explored every opportunity and angle to market the house properly and continually updated the research and provided us with the information we needed to make decisions along the way. The reasons he impressed us at the beginning stayed true throughout the listing and eventual sale."

"Suzanne and I have been friends with Dave for many years. When looking for a real estate professional to assist us with the purchase of our home, Dave was an obvious choice. We knew Dave would not only bring his knowledge and integrity to the table, but also make our best interests the priority.
We were fortunate to discover a semi off-grid property with some unique characteristics that you wouldn't encounter in a typical home purchase. Dave was able to provide us with his professional guidance while introducing us to the additional resources necessary to navigate the purchase and gain the confidence we needed to move forward.
It was a pleasure working with Dave and recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a home to get Dave working for them. They won't be disappointed."

"We met Dave in May 2019 on our 2nd day in Vancouver on a house hunting trip. We had been visiting BC for several years to see our sons who had relocated here from Ontario, and now it was time for us to move too. While we had some idea of the area of Vancouver we wanted to settle, Dave was very thoughtful in suggesting properties that met our parameters and listened to our wants, concerns and features in a home that were important to us. His knowledge of the North Vancouver market place helped focus our search. Most importantly, Dave was patient, never frustrated and always positive as we searched for 3 months before finding the best home for us. Home buying can be exciting but usually also stressful. Dave took most of the stress out and helped us throughout the process. We highly recommend Dave Maquignaz."

"Dave has been a friend of ours for many many years. We decided to use him as our realtor because we know him so well, we knew he would take excellent care of our needs. He did that and more. He would send daily updates and listings for us to look over. Any questions we had were answered quickly and with as much or more information than we requested. Dave is extremely thorough with his research, often providing information that we didn't even know we needed. We have and will continue to recommend Dave to all our friends who are looking to buy and sell. You could not ask for a more dedicated or hard working realtor!"

"As first time home buyers, looking for condos in North Vancouver was certainly a daunting task but we were lucky to find Dave to help us through the process. While most realtors that we met with came off as a bit pushy, just wanting to get the job done, we decided to work with Dave as it was obvious he had a different approach. He took the time to sit down with us and not only ask what we were looking for but ultimately help us better understand what was important.
Every time we met with him it was obvious how prepared he was, talking us through his research on available properties, trends with pricing or pointing out the little details to pay attention to. He was always available to talk and answer questions, and it felt like we were an important focus for him, even when balancing his time with other clients.
When it came time to make an offer and negotiate he did a great job balancing our stressed concerns while diligently following up with the selling agent. Finally, once we successfully purchased our condo, we were impressed with how helpful Dave was with walking us through every step down to showing up with different checklists so we didn't miss anything.
We feel very lucky to have Dave by our side throughout this process and have since recommended him to friends."
