TEAM MCKNIGHT: Louise McKnight, Ryan Sidhu, Leslie Zhao, Elaine Zhou, Shannon Mann, Mary Lynn Ghinzel

We owe Mary-Lynn Ghinzel a huge, glowing review for the wonderful journey we had with her searching for our first home. Mary-Lynn is the ultimate professional, with the most impressive, intuitive, and kind customer service-oriented personality. We spent about 6 months viewing homes before purchasing as we were able to take our time and be "picky". She was always right on top of sending us brand new listings, with her comments attached, and showed up at each showing extremely prepared. Seeing a house with Mary-Lynn was always a much more valuable experience than if we had gone alone, which ultimately helped us be able to quickly decide when we eventually came across the right home. She never put any pressure on us, and always provided the perfect amount of gentle guidance to each member of our family. She followed up with us about every little thing we asked or wondered, and always kept checking in. When we found our dream home, it was a fast-moving, multiple-offer scenario. We believe her lovely personality and ability to read the situation played a significant role in us being able to place a competitive offer that was accepted. We have our dream home! Thank you Mary-Lynn! <3

Louise, Ryan, and Leslie and team are fantastic to work with for many reasons:
- They are super professional in how they conduct their work and how seriously they take the business and their clients
- They are highly knowledgeable and buttoned up on the market, both macro and micro, to help identify best opportunities and price/value
- Their communication is excellent with no follow-up needed -- they are clearly experts at their craft and know how vital communication with their clients (and other realtors) is

I would add that while offering counsel, Team McKnight are not pushy at all, and allow their clients to lead as needed.

I highly recommend them after years of knowing and working with this team!

Team McKnight is fabulous! Only good things to say. Professional, knowledgeable, supportive, respectful of our time and requests. We were so happy with Louise and her team that after we bought our house with them, as buying agents, we decided to list our house with the team too. Best decision! We sold in 10 days for the price we were hoping for. We followed their expert recommendations and suggestions and we are very glad we did. The whole team was always, always perfect in all interactions and processes. If I was not convinced in my heart that we bought our last house where we will grow old (er) in, I would hire Louise again in a heart beat for the next house!

Team McKnight was a pleasure to work with. Excellent communication - great follow up. Very professional and would highly recommended them. This was our second time working with them and would defiantly use them again.

Working with Ryan and the team was a seamless experience. Their professionalism and knowledge made the experience stress free. Every interaction from our first meeting all the way through to the sale of our home was handled with the utmost competence and ease. We would confidently recommend this team to anyone looking to sell or purchase!

I rarely share my comments on Google, but I feel I would be so regret if I don't share my experience with others.

Before I worked with Team McKnight to sell my home and buy another new home, I thought all the agents are very similar but I was so wrong.

Selling our home during COVID was very concerning to us, and we did not know what to do to minimize the risks for the families. We asked Team McKnight to make sure all the people who came for the showings to follow our protocol and they 100% complied and make sure we felt comfortable and safe.

Our first offer with nearly our listing price fell apart due to the buyers financial reason, me and my wife felt quite stressed. Team McKnight really showed their profession and integrity worked around the clock trying to get another offer with same or higher price. In the end, they got us another offer within 12 hours after our first offer fell apart.

We were even more impressed by our buying experiences. Team McKnight has given us many recommendations on the areas, schools, locations and value. We are so happy that we bought a house within our budget and the location we always wanted.

I will definitely work with Team McKnight for my future real estate investments and I will recommend everyone I know to work with them to maximize their investment returns and services.

A big thank you to Louise McKnight and Mary Lynn for handling the real estate sale of our townhouse in South Surrey. We really appreciated their high level of professional service. Mary Lynn was our main contact with the full backing of the McKnight team. From the beginning with the extraordinary video of our home that highlighted features for potential buyers through to closing the transaction, attention to detail was excellent. Home owners want to feel that their home is being marketed in the most positive light and this team proved that they indeed followed through with this.

Mary Lynn was focused on providing us with the best service possible. She promptly followed up on showings and provided us with feedback. She kept us informed regarding market activity and recent sales. Her calm demeaner provided us with considerable support during a difficult time.

What stands out the most regarding this team is that this process was not all about THEM and how they market THEMSELVES but is all about the CLIENT (us) and how to reach a sold resolution for the client.

Louise recently helped my husband and I purchase our first home and she was incredible to work with. She was so patient and knowledgeable in guiding me through this experience and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring realtor. She was so attentive and took such care in making sure that we found the perfect home for ourselves in White Rock. Though I mostly worked with Louise, I also had the opportunity to work with other members of her team (Samantha being one of them) and they were so kind and wonderful to deal with as well.

Thank you so much Louise and Kyle and I are so happy with our new home!

Leslie at Team McKnight is a pro in the real estate world. She has sharp understandings in ever-changing market trends and accurate grasp on valuation out of uniqueness of properties she transacted at every turn of the market.

Not only does she take on properties right, she is extremely experienced with working with people, buyers and sellers alike, through my personal and professional experiences.

She listens well and appreciates challenges of her clients with sympathy and patience. At the same time, she delivered her advice succinctly without haze. Leslie is exceptional in coming across her recommendations and ideas in a way her clients and partners always value and find refreshing.

She is a fantastic negotiator. With her expertise in her subject matter being real estate in South Surrey/White Rock, and her knowing of her own clients and people sitting on the other side of table, she seems to be a deal maker all the time.

Leslie is not alone and she works in a diverse team in which each and every member are robust that make her even stronger.

Over the last 5 years, I have worked with Team McKnight on the sale of two homes and the purchase of one. Louise, Ryan and Leslie’s level of professionalism, knowledge and follow through is top-notch. I trust their opinion and judgment and have always been happy with the result. I highly recommend Louise McKnight and her team for all your real estate needs.

We have been clients of Team McKnight for several years. Louise & her team truly are some of the most amazing professional people that we have had the pleasure of dealing with. They always go above & beyond for both the sellers & the buyers. We have been both and highly recommend them. Thank you Louise, Lesley, Ryan & all.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Louise, Ryan and Leslie. They exceeded our expectations. The team found us a perfect home within our budget in the exact area we were hoping for. Louise was always prompt when responding to all my inquiries and was personable from the very beginning.They not only helped us find a home but connected us to various other resources and services too. I would highly recommend Team McKnight to anyone and everyone for any real estate needs!

First time to work with Ryan and Elaine, they are so professional and effective. Deep understanding of the market, quick solution for our problems. Definitely love to work them again.

Our family and friends have used the services of Team McKnight for the past several years. We are busy professionals and also have a residential building/development company, Westcliff Homes Inc., so having someone who is quick, honest and sincere is of utmost importance to us.

We have met many people in the industry over the years, but Louise McKnight is the first realtor with whom we genuinely bonded with due to her honesty, professionalism and truly caring nature beyond just the numbers of making a transaction. She actually cares! It’s rare we do reviews and even rarer that we endorse someone for their work but with no hesitation whatsoever we feel confident in recommending not only Louise but the entire crew of “Team McKnight” at Bay Realty.

Thanks for all your hard work over the years!

Besides being the ultimate professional, Louise McKnight and her team, go over and above for their clients. Their attention to detail, unlimited knowledge of the market, and commitment to providing the best service possible enabled us to sell our home for the maximum amount in the least amount of time. I highly recommend Louise and her team.

We used Team McKnight for both the sale of our home and purchase of a new home. They were great to deal with from start to finish. Their individual strengths compliment each other and the team approach works very well. Would highly recommend them!

Leslie helped me purchasing a house in South Surrey, BC. It is for my retirement and the perfect one for me. I was working in US at the time and had to travel to BC to check the available houses. At the beginning, i was not very sure what type of residential to purchase. Thus in my first visit, Leslie prepared a long list of house, condo, townhouse at different location to see. She also helped me to understand the town so much better. It was 2.5 days trip and I was so much knowledgeable with her dedicated support during the time. There was one house I was quite interested, but Leslie provided very professional insight why it is not a good purchase due to the light, shape of the land, and how the stairway located in the house. In fact through my entire purchase journey, Leslie always has my best interest in mind as she put it: " you will become my neighbor and live in the area for many many years to come and it has to be the right house". It eventually took over half year, 3 trips to BC, multiple rounds of offers to multiple houses that we finally found the gorgeous house and closed at the price I am satisfied. The post sales service was beyond my expectation too, she coordinated with a handy man to fix the house and also helped me to rent it out (as my retirement would still be far in the future:-)) Leslie's professionalism, patience, insight and warm heart nature is tremendously impressive and valuable in the process and I would recommend her highly!

Working with the McKnight Team has been absolutely awesome. They all really care and go above and beyond in regards to the services they provide. If you are home buyers or sellers I would highly recommend, Louise, Leslie and Ryan!

I met Louise Mcknight in 2015. Not only has she been our realtor but she has become a good family friend as well. She takes great pride in her work. We highly recommend Team Mcknight for all of your real estate dealings.

Louise has sold our house and helped us purchase another home. During our house sale my father passed away and Louise was so compassionate and helpful during our struggles of trying to juggle the sale of our home and dealing with our grief. We have recommended her to many friends and family who have benefited from her honesty and kindness.
