Let's find your DREAM Home!

"Craig and his team were always very helpful in every aspect of the purchase and sale of our homes. So professional and friendly to deal with. They were always quick to respond to any inquiries we may have had. Treated us like we were their only clients. We always felt that they had our best interest at heart. Our transactions were done during Covid, an extremely difficult time and Craig was successful and sold our condo and found us the home of our dreams - Gwen&dwight waldner

Trying to buy and sell mid-pandemic was daunting. Craig Toker and his team, have our sincere gratitude for helping us find and purchase a lovely home. As well, he listed and sold our previous condo. Craig is a superb professional: generous, realistic, creative thinker, with deep knowledge of the neighborhoods and market trends, and always there to inform and guide. He was attuned to our needs and showed us a variety of properties within our budget to help us find a home that was a good fit for us. He is a terrific communicator and very responsive, which we found particularly helpful. We would highly recommend Craig and his team whole heartedly. - Sherryl and Ross Barlow

"After an on-line search I picked a group of realtors to consider for the sale of my condo. All of my choices were excellent, with similar sales and marketing proposals. But in the end it was the complete professionalism of Craig that swayed me. From the outset he answered any question I had fully and completely, and with total honesty. After showing me the marketing he, and his team of professionals would use to market and sell my home we were set. Ivi did an amazing job staging my home (I almost changed my mind it looked so good). The photographers did an excellent job showcasing my place, complete with stills, a virtual 3d tour, and a video presentation by Craig himself. A representation of the firm was on site prior to every showing to make sure things were all in place, and to tour prospective buyers around the property to the amenities that the buyers realtor may not have been aware of. We had an offer within a week, and an early completion. Start to finish, about a month and a half. Was Craig the cheapest realtor I could find ? Nope. Was he worth every penny he charged ? Absolutely ! Also, as a bonus there is a corporate van available for clients use. Just fill it up when you bring it back. - David Ostrum

"I heard of Craig through a friend and I'm very happy and pleased that I used him as my realtor. He's helped me through the whole process of having previous renters for 2 years.  I sold my home for a very good price. I'm glad I staged the house which was a very good idea. Everything went smooth and in the right direction.  I'll definitely use Craig again in the future.  I will recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor. - Rapinder

"I had listed my place with another agent. It was on the market for months with no success. My friend had just listed with Craig and had amazing results! I made the decision to switch and it was the best decision. From the get go he was straight forward, thoughtful and super professional. It was clear he was really dedicated to making the process easy for me and to getting results I would be happy with. He had a clear process and spent the time to do his job to the highest quality. His team was awesome! The staging looked so great, and it absolutely made a huge difference. His video and photos made my place look so fancy! His assistant was a pleasure to work with and they had a great system to help me keep track of everything that was going to happen. I was super impressed with the fact that he is present at every showing of my place to ensure the buyers see all the benefits of the building and get the answers they need to make a decision. It was also really reassuring that my place was being cared for while I vacated for strangers to walk through. We listed on Thursday, by Tuesday we had an offer! AND there was a snow storm over the weekend. I would recommend Craig and his team to anyone that will listen to me! seriously, do yourself a favour, and talk to Craig. - Angela Frattaroli

"I had great experience with Craig, I was hesitating about staging in a phone conversation, we met after and he recommended me to do the staging without any pressure. I finally agreed with staging , it was a great suggestion and that is what I needed from trusted agent . He sold my condo (conditions removed ) in less than a week and the buyer even did not see the condo. The staging and great photos and virtual tour did the job, condo was sold to the first offer which came in few hours after posting for full asking price with a back up offer. Great Experience with Craig! Thank You - Ebrahim Salemi

"Craig and his team were recommended through a friend. I am very happy I followed the suggestion to use Craig as the listing agent for my home. Craig provided gold star service on all fronts. His assessment of the value of my house and the market at a complicated time (COVID), and his marketing strategy were all completely on point. All members of his team are personable, knowledgeable and demonstrated a clear passion for their work. I truly enjoyed all my interactions with Craig, Marnie, Ivi, and Jan-Delle. They were immediately responsive to any questions and concerns I had and guided me through the process of prepping and selling my home. Craig's marketing strategy was excellent and drew a lot of positive attention to my property. Craig and Marnie were also a great help as I searched for a new home in a fast moving and challenging market. Their awareness of the areas I was looking in and general real estate knowledge helped lead me to the perfect home. I would not hesitate to recommend Craig Toker as a Realtor. - Jennifer Ames

"Professional, respectful, attentive to my requests and excellent communication from Mr. Craig Toker throughout the entire search and purchase process. He goes above and beyond what a seasoned buyer expects from an agent. Without a nano second hesitation, I recommend Craig Toker to work with you. - Dr. T. Andre

We are extremely happy with the service provided by Craig and his team. His understanding of the local market, his modern approach to online advertising, and his attention to detail is the best that we have seen, period! His guidance towards staging our condo was excellent and well worth the investment. His team approach to servicing his customers is very efficient. We would use Craig again and would highly recommend him to anyone in the Victoria market. - Grant Coates

"Referred by friends who had used Craig consistently. Craig attends every showing of your home to highlight the features of your home to prospective buyers. His specialty: Professional Presentations/Staging & Communications He became the realtor he never had... Would always use Craig Toker! - DAW & TKW

"Craig and team is a full service professional group that will help you get your dream home. I was able to find the home I love less than a month, put in an offer quickly with the help of Craig and Marnie. Craig and his team will work tirelessly to ensure smooth purchase or selling, with his extensive experience and understanding of the local real estate market. Craig and his team are also very patient and kind. They understand it’s might be a once or twice in a lifetime experience for consumers who are looking to sell or purchase a home. Craig is a highly skilled problem-solver. I ran into a number of issues but Craig was very quickly to help resolve effectively. The extra bonus I like very much is the post-transaction service with the client courtesy van to help with moving. For someone who doesn’t own a larger car or pickup truck, that offers added value that I really appreciate. - Tobey Ho

"Craig and his team gave us the highest level of professional service throughout our experience with them.  Craig always took time to personally answer queries and find ways to market our home to reach the right audience. Very satisfied with them and highly recommended! - Bill and Michelle Schley

"Craig without any doubt is an exceptional real estate agent. He was extremely professional and courteous. He responded to any of my calls or texts almost immediately. His knowledge of the market appears exceptional. With his background, he was always looking at the big picture of the property I was considering.... eg structural things within the property, something I might have overlooked. Again, I cannot say enough about how he constantly looked out for my needs and requests. I would, without any reservation give him a 5 star ++ rating

"Craig was very knowledgeable and reliable! His previous contracting experience lent him great knowledge and attention to detail in homes we looked at. While selling our home, Craig made himself available for nearly all of the showings to make sure that potential buyers left with all their questions answered. We developed a very trusting relationship with Craig and would certainly recommend him to any of our close friends and family!

"We didn’t know how Covid would impact the marketplace and demand for real estate. We spoke to a couple agents, but immediately knew we found the right one after we spoke with Craig. We were extremely impressed with Craig's responsiveness, commitment, professionalism and ability to get the job done quickly and efficiently. The marketing materials to showcase his listings – photos, brochures, video walk through footage, drone footage etc ensured that our property was showcased to maximum advantage. We had never used a staging service before and had some initial reservations, but we were extremely pleased with the results. Ivica did a fabulous job and ensured that the property showed in the best way possible. Craig and his highly efficient team are on top of everything. They worked to stage the condo and put together a marketing plan that resulted in it being sold within 2 days of the listing going live. We had 2 offers - one at list, and one at above list. He surpassed all our expectations, and was very helpful. After the sale, he even arranged to move things from the property when we couldn’t be there to do it ourselves. In addition, his recommendations for other trusted professionals (staging, legal work) were spot on – they were reasonably priced, responsive and on top of everything as well. We highly recommend Craig to anyone seeking an outstanding agent. -

Craig provides outstanding service and is very detailed oriented. He spent hours answering my questions and providing objective data regarding recent and past condo sales. I would recommend Craig Toker to everyone I know. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I realize it's never an easy process to sell your home, all the emotions, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better Realtor. Great job Craig!

Craig was the best. I interviewed 5 different realtors when I had my Mom's place for sale, and I was impressed with his depth of knowledge as well as his personal integrity and strong work ethic. He offered us some optional budget-friendly ideas for some curb-appeal improvements (he has huge knowledge about renos and improvements), which really worked well, as verified by comments that I heard from prospective buyers during the showings. As well, even while we were doing the suggested improvements, there was never at any point any pressure from Craig to sign a listing agreement. Only when we felt ready to sell, which could have been immediately or else in a few years, did we bring up the topic of getting him to list the house. Such professionalism and courtesy as Craig's must be experienced to be fully appreciated. And the staging work he did (with his helper) was so attractive that I'm convinced that this sealed the deal. Some other Realtors I interviewed had suggested that I sell the house "as-is" to a builder for a much lower price. After Craig's suggestions, the property sold for much higher, beating everyone's expectations (except for Craig, who had complete faith in our project). In short, we spent $20,000 on the optional curb-appeal improvements that Craig suggested. We then sold the house for a price that was an extra $260,000 higher than what any of the other realtors could come up with and having spent only $20,000. An excellent return on our investment, thanks to Craig. If you need help with selling a fixer-upper like this, or if your house is completely ready to be sold, in both cases I think Craig is simply the best. 

Thanks, Craig!

Craig has the expertise and professionalism you'd expect from a successful veteran agent, but also the attentiveness, enthusiasm and dedication you'd expect of a new agent trying to impress!

TESTIMONIAL: Rate-My-Agent.com

We've used realtors in the past. All of which we thought was great. Then we met Craig. The bar has jumped upward. The previous agents were just going through the motions in hindsight. Other realtors would push you toward a purchase without understanding what you want or need. Craig sat back and let us do our homework, let us see what our budget could do. Without trying to up-sell us. It wasn't until we were ready to pull the trigger that he really started to shine. He took the sale on as if he was buying the place for himself. Answering calls at all hours 7 days a week, call us with questions, dealing with our odd work hours. Pulling permits and blueprints on the properties out of his own pocket before being asked about them, making sure everything was on the up and up, talking with contractors, setting up everything from inspectors to our bank to make sure everything fell into place exactly in the time it was supposed to be. Even after conditions were removed he was still in contact letting us know he was working on getting the property ready for us. Our past realtors which I had thought were doing a good job were really only doing the offer and sales paperwork and frequently pushed us to properties that were outside our budget. Then once the paperwork was completed disappeared. leaving a basket of fruit on the counter of our new home. I could care less about the fruit basket now. Realizing it was a hollow thank you for handing over a bunch of my money. I'll take a realtor that actually investigates the home's past and treats the property as his own any day. Can't thank or recommend him enough

TESTIMONIAL October 12, 2017

Craig Toker at Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty guided us through the preparation and resulting sale of the family property and home with top notch professionalism. The experience was excellent from start to finish.  Craig's competency shined through as he listened carefully, was easy to talk to, gave sound advice, fun to work with and always came back with a quick and accurate response to our questions. 

Craig always answered our phone calls, stopped by frequently and made us feel like he was never in a hurry. He always made us feel like we were most important. 

Craig personally attended to all details, following everything tightly from start to finish. He has assembled an incredible team that works cohesively with him on the fine details such as floor plan, painting, staging, drone aerial, 3D video,  brochure and "For Sale" sign. They all did an exceptional job, going above and beyond our expectations. 

This truly was an incredible and fun experience.

"Thank you", Craig. 

You are an awesome person that cares.

Craig Toker is a great guy! It is difficult to put into words the great lengths that Craig went for us. 

He is an honest, caring, smart, creative, ambitious guy that puts his all into his work. His professionalism and work ethic are incredible. Furthermore his team  is amazing as well. You can blatantly tell that he is very picky with the people he keeps on his team and because of this he has established an incredibly solid group of professionals. 

Craig's background in construction really helped us feel good about the purchase of our new home. He worked so hard for us and we always felt that we had a strong advocate in our corner. We never felt like Craig was working for the commission, he honestly wanted to make sure we were happy and the house was going to be suitable for our family. 

Without a second thought we would and will recommend anyone to Craig Toker and his team. 

A great realtor is hard to find but trust me look no further you have all of that and more that in Craig. 

TESTIMONIAL: November 15, 2016

From the first moment we decided to list our home to sell, Craig was the ONLY Realtor we would consider to take on the task. His vast experience and knowledge in the Victoria, BC real estate market coupled with his team of experts blew away our expectations. The way the marketing was customized specifically for our listing, the professional staging, the time and energy he and his team put into our home before it even went on the market was astounding.

Craig advised us of the current market, what the future of the market could look like and when the perfect time to sell would be. We gladly listened and as a result Craig sold our home in 3 days for $40,000 over our asking price. 

There is absolutely no reason why we wouldn't use Craig and his team for our future real estate transactions. From the first meeting you will absolutely leave with the sense that he genuinely cares for his clients and wholeheartedly loves working with real estate. I would (and do), without a doubt, refer Craig Toker to anyone I know.

As we come to the wrap-up of this professional / client association, I wish to express my sincerest gratitude and admiration for your key part in facilitating the sale of my property. From the first -- whether to do with moving logistics, listing and price matters and timing, or presentation concerns -- you've been unfailing in offering your considered advice and your hands-on, experienced-based, friendly help. In short, you helped transform a process that ,to me initially seemed daunting in its complex totality, into a series of naturally moving steps that were often actually enjoyable. 

May many others -- vendors (like myself in this case) or buyers -- be so fortunate as to be represented by you in their future real estate dealings. 

All Good Wishes,

Craig, 

My ex-wife and I were desperate to sell our house and didn't expect to get a great price for it. You took on the listing and went well above and beyond the call of duty in making it happen. In addition to advertising and showing the house aggressively, you gave us great advise and even provided assistance in fixing up the appearance of our house for sale! During the whole process, I was consistently impressed with every aspect of your services; you really know your stuff, were pleasant to deal with and always were ready to answer questions or address issues when they came up. In the end, after pricing the house quite ambitiously, you sold it quickly for 99% of asking price! 

You have a rare combination of competence, knowledge, dedication and effort, and I would not hesitate to list with you again or strongly recommend you to others.

TESTIMONIAL: April 4, 2016

Two years after my husband passed away I was debating on downsizing, but only debating, and certainly didn't want to feel any pressure to make a decision. I was casually looking at listings at the Mayfair Mall Royal LePage Kiosk and struck up a conversation with Craig where he confirmed my feeling that this could take weeks or even months. But with Craig's professional support and guidance I knew this was the direction I was going to go. I have since sold my home and purchased a condo with Craig. He offered his support ,not only with my sale and purchase, but with all of the other tasks that arose throughout the process. I felt like I had someone in my court that I could count on and who would give me solid and honest advise. It meant a lot to me and I consider Craig now a friend and would most certainly recommend him to anyone considering buying or selling their home.

Craig helped us purchase our first home in the Spring of 2016. We were looking for someone who could really guide us through the process as we had absolutely no experience with real estate. Craig took the time to listen to our needs and his professional guidance was invaluable to us. We always felt like Craig had our best interests at heart and he really understood what we wanted and also what we needed in a new home. We ended up with a great first home at a really great price.

This is a letter of endorsement for Realtor Craig Toker.

Richard and I have purchased two properties with the guidance and expertise of Craig Toker. Conversely, we have also NOT purchased two properties that we strongly desired because Craig found them either faulty in construction or not to be in good enough locations for resale. 

His advise has proven to be sound at all times and we are immensely grateful to him. We nearly walked away from the beach house of our dreams. This was a time when Craig advised us to rethink that decision. Upon his suggestion of yet another visit, we felt, again, the magic of the home and its setting and stayed with the purchase. Now  we are excited to renovate and enjoy its beauty. 

Craig puts himself in his client's shoes and reacts as if each transaction were his or that of a family member. He builds trust in this manner and in his tremendous work ethic. He literally will work at any time of the day to ensure that a property sale occurs and to his client's best advantage. 

We have enjoyed Craig's friendship and professionalism and look forward to our next search whenever we can make that happen again. If we were to purchase another property we would think of no other realty. 

Sincerely,

Manon

Look no further! 

If you are searching for a Realtor who will work as hard as it takes to sell your home, look no further. 

We chose Craig to list our Fernwood home in the Fall of 2015 after hearing about the extra care and attention he paid to his clients, and his drive to deliver the highest standard of realty service. We were not disappointed. Within days of our first contact, Craig completed a sound market evaluation of our property, created high quality sales materials and implemented a comprehensive marketing plan tailored to sell our unique home. Craig completed this work prior to our chosen list date, generating early interest from his existing clients and other Realtors. Within three days of listing, we saw twelve private showings of our home, and over a hundred people who attended the open house. Craig was on site for all of these potential sales opportunities, where he represented our interests, and cultivated future offers. On our third day of listing, Craig brought us three purchase offers to choose from , which resulted in a complete sale six days later above our asking price! By leveraging the strengths of the current market, Craig generated a high volume of traffic through our home, which created an excitement  in potential buyers that kept us in the driver's seat. 

Craig's meticulous attention to detail, commitment to his clients, and knowledge of the Victoria Real Estate Market make him an obvious choice. We have already referred friends and family to Craig and will continue to do so without hesitation.

There are no perfect Realtors but there are very good Realtors like Craig. We were first time home buyers and we were looking for a Reator that we could trust and we found Craig. He made sure that we were aware of all of the processes of the real estate transaction and he made sure we were aware of every bit of information. He will make sure that you are well-informed before making your buying decision. If I become involved in the real estate market again I have no doubt that I will work with him and I will recommend Craig to everyone who needs a Realtor because Craig is the kind of person that will always treat you like family.
