Testimonials

Greg Lock Personal Real Estate Corporation helped our daughter find her condo. We were very impressed with Greg's knowledge and felt confident in his suggestions. We enjoyed working with Greg and our daughter is very happy with her home. We are grateful to Greg for his kindness and patience when communicating with our daughter who was dealing with some challenges after a very bad accident.

As a result of our experience with Greg, during our daughter's condo purchase, we did not hesitate in asking him to be our agent, when we decided to sell our townhouse and shortly after that he also helped us purchase a new condo. The townhouse sold very quickly, at a price we were happy with. And, we are delighted with the condo we bought and the price we paid.

We trust Greg's intuition and understanding of the market. He actually cares and takes the time to
understand what the client wants. And, his personality makes the process enjoyable and less stressful than it would otherwise be. Greg is sincere and very easy to work with and gets the job done efficiently without sacrificing the end result. We would highly recommend Greg to anyone buying or selling. We will definitely use his services again when
we sell or buy any real estate.

"My wife Brenda and I interviewed three agents prior to listing our home. We were impressed by Greg Lock's preparation prior to our meeting, and his knowledge of the market. Although we were a little skeptical with respect to the higher price he wanted to list us at, he convinced us that if we listed lower there was always the potential for leaving money on the table. We moved forward with Greg, and the results he felt he could give us and ultimately delivered prove to us that we made the right choice in choosing Greg.

Greg Lock's preparation and attention to detail prove why he is a true professional in the field of real estate.We will most definitely recommend Greg Lock to any friends or neighbours of ours at any opportunity. "

"Our experience selling our place was quick and relatively smooth. Two open houses and our place was gone. Greg made everything clear on what we needed to do to sell and answered any of our questions. My husband and I had such a great experience with Greg that we asked him to help us find our new home. He was quick to answer our emails in regards to available listings and answered all of our burning questions. Although, looking for a place was challenging in this market, Greg kept us calm and encouraged us to keep looking. He constantly sent us new listings, in our preferred neighborhoods, before they hit the market. Thanks to Greg's help and hard work, we found our first house and cannot wait to move in!" Thanks Greg

“We were thinking of moving out of our home in White Rock and into a condo in White Rock. We came across Greg’s great website and many interesting listings. We called Greg and on a number of occasions, he patiently took us around to the condos we were interested in. He never applied any sales pressure and was very knowledgeable of the market. We later decided to sell our home and move out of White Rock. We listed our home with Greg and were very pleased with the professional way in which he managed our sale. We recommend Greg very highly whether you are buying or selling.”

"I wasn't even seriously looking when I Googled WhiteRockCondo.ca on a whim and enquired about a property. Greg sent me the info I requested within hours and continued to do this for two years without any pressure. When I finally decided that I was ready to move he was my first and only choice.
My home sold within 4 days of listing. A few glitches along the way re closing dates were handled very well by Greg and he negotiated an excellent sale for me.Greg also represented me very well in the purchase of my new condo. He showed me everything on the market that was within my parameters for buying and totally understood what it was I was looking for. We searched for several months and a few times I was lucky to be the first to see a property that had just come on the market. Ultimately when I decided on a property Greg negotiated a phenomenal deal on my behalf for a property that I absolutely love.
Greg is professional, personable, friendly, respectful and fun. He listened to what I wanted and ultimately delivered. I would recommend him to any of my family and friends. As an added note, two neighbours in my former condo were so impressed with his friendliness and professionalism they said they would use Greg as their realtor if and when they sell."

I have used Greg Lock from HomeLife Realty for a recent sale of a condo.  My challenge was that the condo was in White Rock BC and I reside in Ontario so I needed someone that could work with me remotely and with the 3 hour time difference.  When researching real estate agents I noticed that Greg had many of the condo listings in the building and the area so I decided to give him a try.  Greg was always there to answer my questions and provided me regular updates on viewings and the status of offers.  He delivered on all his promises and went out of his way to assist in finalizing the details of the sale as we approached the closing.  If I need to sell another property in the area Greg will be the first one I call.
-Chris Lucas

We began working with Greg over a year ago, looking at numerous condominium properties in White Rock. Greg was patient throughout the entire process. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a new home and presented a number of properties to us that closely matched our needs. Through listening to what we wanted and through a thorough search of the local market, Greg has found us a new home that exactly meets our needs. He is professional, provides prompt responses and is frank and straightforward to work with. We highly recommend Greg Lock to other potential clients and will certainly call on his services again.

We are very happy we chose Greg as our realtor and would highly recommend him. We wanted a full time, professional and personable realtor that was very knowledgeable about all of White Rock and South Surrey, who could help us navigate our way around a new community to us.
Greg helped us find exactly what we were looking for. He told us about potential changes to the neighbourhoods we were considering, and had great suggestions about some of our concerns about different properties we looked at. Once we decided on the right property, Greg was very helpful in negotiating the price and purchase conditions, knowing the inventory of comparable properties for sale and sold in the area. Greg gave us lots of great information from local and cross boarder shopping and golfing, to various home improvement contacts.
We enjoy seeing Greg in our travels around our new neighbourhood.
-Brenda & Peter


We listed our townhouse with Greg because we were impressed by the presentation he gave us regarding his marketing plan. He developed a wonderful brochure, attended all showings and was most professional in his dealings with potential buyers. We sold very quickly at a price near our listing price. We were very pleased with the result.

I wanted to say thanks for leading us through our first-time home buyers adventure. Having you guide us through the experience made it much more enjoyable and more importantly less stressful. You have been great to us and we will undoubtedly refer you to anyone looking for a home/condo/apartment in the surrounding areas (My parents will be looking for something on the bluff over looking the water in the next few years). If we have any questions or concerns we will be in touch. Again, Courtney and I can't thank you enough. Until our next meeting,

Greg Lock was very professional, patient & responsive to our requests and “must have” lists in buying our home. We were new to the neighbourhood and he took the time to educate us on the different neighbourhoods in the area. He was very knowledgeable and had an impressive website. We looked at 50 (or more) houses and were never pressured to make a quick decision despite having to change our budget midway through the process of finding our new home. We really appreciate the service & attention that was shown to us. Regardless of whether you’re buying or selling, I would highly recommend Greg Lock for your next move.
-Paul Reynolds & Faliza Asmin

After thoroughly listening and patiently going over many details, he provided excellent recommendations for obtaining full value from a potential purchase and helped to make my new home acquisition a very smooth and comfortable process. He provided many suggestions for quality contacts, including but not limited to home inspection and home renovation upgrades.
Thanks ever so much for all the help during the process of purchasing my condo and for the excellent followup and contact referrals. It is very much appreciated!!
Whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Greg Lock to help you with the sale or purchase of your home.

Dear Greg,
It was a great pleasure to work with you in purchasing our family’s first home. We are all very satisfied with our choice and tremendously grateful for your enduring support throughout this process. I am particularly grateful to you for accommodating my tight schedule. Although I was still living on the other side of the country, in Ottawa, when I first contacted you, you were very enthusiastic to help me and quickly provided me the information that I was looking for. As a result of your efforts, I was able to start viewing apartments immediately after my arrival to Vancouver.
Your understanding and flexibility in this case were simply outstanding. Despite the brief nature of my initial visit to Vancouver, you were still able to offer me a wide selection of apartments that addressed my family’s needs and concerns. Your extensive knowledge about the apartments we viewed and the South Surrey/White Rock area in general, was remarkable. You were able to candidly discuss the pros and cons of each property, including the construction features of the buildings, in a sincere effort to help us choose the best home for our family. Your excellent negotiation skills helped us to purchase the property that we liked, quickly and at a good price. More generally, we were very impressed with your professionalism and politeness. At no point did we feel pressured to choose a particular apartment over another. You were always respectful of our needs and very attentive to our feedback.
Thank you for making our move back to Vancouver such an easy and enjoyable affair. We are now happily settled into our new home and the White Rock area. We wholeheartedly recommend you to others who are thinking of buying a home in this beautiful area.
Sincerely, Anatoli Smirnov and family


We purchased a new condominium in White Rock in May, 2009. Our success in finding the right home was due to the time and effort of our realtor Greg Lock. Within hours of contacting him, Greg had lined up a number of properties for us to look at. Each apartment was aligned with the description we had given Greg for our “perfect home”. As our search and subsequent purchase proceeded, we were continually impressed with the speed with which Greg responded to our calls and the interest they showed in finding us the “right” home. Once our purchase was made they continued to follow up with us to ensure that all was going well. Greg knows the area well and we would not hesitate to call on him for the sale or purchase of any real estate in the future.

Now that we have moved in to our new home and unpacked most of our boxes Mary and I wish to say a big"Thank you" for all the hard work you did on our behalf leading up to and including the purchasing of our townhouse at Meridian Pointe. Our visits from North Vancouver were numerous in those early days and your patience and advice was very much appreciated as, although we knew the area somewhat, your knowledge of where to look leading up to the finding of our new place was invaluable.
When we needed a water leak fixed you recommended a plumber and you seemed to have contacts in many businesses that we were able to call upon and this is the 'extras' that you were able to provide adding value to just buying and selling homes.
We were more than satisfied with your service at this 'nerve racking time' and you helped take the stress out of stressful. We have already said to our real estate agent who helped sell our North Van. house that if ever he needs a real estate contact for clients looking in the Surrey/White Rock area to make contact with you. Whenever we get great service it has always been our policy in life to recommend that person to our friends and relatives and this will apply in your case also.
Please feel free to drop by for a coffee any time and we will be pleased to show you the kitchen renovations once they are completed in mid August.

Having to relocate to a new town to be closer to my employment I found Greg on his web site which is very concise and well laid out. Greg is a kind and patient person. He is a good listener and was helpful and efficient when explaining real estate documents and forms. Greg showed me a good selection of homes within the short period of time I had to find one. When touring the homes he offered supportive advise. I was very pleased that Greg found a very nice home for me which was close to work and in turn made my commute easier. Greg also provided an excellent well laid out information booklet on current housing prices. He helped give supportive suggestions for improvements to my previous home to increase it's value on the market. Greg also assisted with the walk through and inspection of the new home. Buying a home and relocating to a new town can be a stressful event. Fortunately, Greg maintained steady guidance and support throughout which made this transition easier. Thank you so much for your excellent service Greg. I would highly recommend Greg to any friends or family who are thinking of buying or selling.

Greg helped our family find a new house quickly and in a very good area that is convenient for our needs. He was always available to take us to view properties and was patient and respectful of our requirements and opinions. He was happy to do any research he could and to find out information about properties before we looked at them. When we made an offer, he worked hard late into the night to ensure that it was accepted. He was thorough with the contracts and legal documents, making sure all inconsistencies were resolved and was very helpful in setting us up with legal and financial services. He continued to advise us after the closing of the purchase, helping us to resolve deficiencies with the builder. Throughout the whole process we felt Greg gave us good advice, was knowledgeable and extremely helpful, and always friendly and pleasant.
-Kristina and Bob Gildert


I was most fortunate to find a real estate agent with the expertise of Greg Lock. He worked very hard to sell my condiminium and find me a suitable one to buy. Greg proved he knows how to promote a property, negotiate between parties, and close a deal to the satisfaction of all concerned. He was helpful beyond the call of duty in making the process of buying, selling and moving as painless as it can ever be.
