He is wonderful to work with. Very happy with the sale of our duplex.

“David’s extensive knowledge and experience was outstanding. He really had our best interests at heart, ensuring the contract and sale of our house was successful.”

We had a good experience working with Derek for the sale of our one bedroom condo. He was knowledgeable, professional, and always willing to take our phone calls no matter the time of day. He remained patient with us and always willing to answer our questions. We liked how he was proactive and kept us updated with the showings. I would not hesitate to recommend Derek if anyone is looking for a realtor.

“David is by far, the most thorough & knowledgeable realtor we have ever dealt with. After buying & selling many homes over the years, David is by far the most outstanding professional we have dealt with. From his broad industry knowledge to his superior negotiating skills, he leaves nothing to chance. We used David to sell our home, as well as to assist in our new purchase. We feel confident in knowing that we got top dollar for our home, as well as a beautiful new home. By far, the BEST. You won't go wrong in using this amazing realtor.”

Derek is an awesome realtor! He is a true professional with a very caring attitude. He understands the market well and made the experience of selling our home very pleasant and easy. We highly recommend Derek Vanderkooy!

“We've used David for two home sales now. He's very thorough and definitely knows his stuff. Don't let the 1% realty scare you away, thinking you won't get full service. With David, you get fantastic, full service. In fact, I've seen listings from "standard" realty companies that don't come close to the listings David puts together. He got us more money for our sale than we thought we'd get. Highly recommended.”

Derek is an excellent realtor..He answered any questions that we had openly and honestly. He gave us good advice prior to listing our place and kept us informed as to what was happening. I would definitely recommend Derek to anyone thinking of selling or buying a piece of property.

"Dear David, Thank you so very much for everything and all your help. We are being honest when we say we have never had such a good realtor before you. You went over and beyond helping my mom. We wish you the very best and hope you keep in touch. That would be nice. P.S. My mom loves the townhouse."

It’s hard to find a realtor because everyone just recommends their friend or family member without even having worked with them. I combed realtor.com and came across one of Derek’s listings. I really liked the photos he had so we took a chance! Derek had great communication & advice which lead to a fast sale. We would highly recommend Derek Vanderkooy!

“David is a very knowledgeable, meticulous and professional realtor. We felt that he truly had our best interests at heart. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

Derek provides a methodical and calm approach to Real Estate. You will notice how he strives to really understand his clients and their desires... and always ensures he is meeting their needs. This measured and thoughtful approach towards his clients and craft are what makes Derek stand out in his profession.

“David was so knowledgeable and thorough in regards to our real estate transaction that we experienced great confidence and peace throughout the process. Thank you David.”

Derek is a fantastic realtor. Very patient, kind & easy to work with. He fostered open communication. We were able to reach him at any time. He offered great advice and at the same time listened to our needs and direction. I would recommend him to anyone, including my parents who really need to sell their house sometime soon. Thank you Derek!

“I found David to be extremely knowledgeable about all things related to real estate and he was available and prompt in responding to any questions or issues we had. Our house sold within 2 plus weeks of putting our house on the market and would highly recommend David to anyone looking to sell their home.”

I fully admit I can be a difficult client and have high expectations. Derek was put to the challenge and met all my expectations…. Even through a difficult market. He offered advice as needed, never left us hanging and made sure we were...

“We used David to sell our home. He is very experienced, knowledgeable and thorough. We would definitely use David again in future if we decided to buy or sell again.”

Very helpful all the way through the process, I would recommend him to anybody, reliable, responsible, respectful, hones and friendly.

“We have bought and sold 2 homes with David while climbing up the property ladder in 2010 and 2018. We are a family of 5 with 3 young kids, and this difficult process was made a lot easier by David.David is a pleasure to be around, very responsive to requests, and looks deep into every property we expressed interest in. He gave us the real and true info about the properties, the info not on the MLS Ad. He is like the eye of a storm, calm, quiet, and patient, while everything around us moved so fast he kept us grounded.I only recommend David to family, friends, and you.”

Derek was great to work with. He was very professional and always available to answer any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend him and one percent.

"I have retained David as my realtor for my last two sales and could not be happier with the experience. David first met with me on both sales and gave a clear and concise plan for the sale of my home including an estimate on the value of my home, an explanation of the current market in my area, examples of sales (both on sale and sold) in my area, as well as tips on laying out my home for future viewings. David then continuously kept in contact with me and provided his expertise throughout the process. While showing my home, David was always punctual with my viewings and informed me of how the viewing went (including an online survey). When an offer came in, David then provided me with great advice and concluded both deals, continuing to keep in contact with me until the closing date. Throughout the usually strenuous process of purchasing and selling a home, David is informative, confident, and goes beyond expectations, which was a significant help in getting through the sale and being more than happy with the results at the end. I would highly recommend David Maitre for the sale of your home and will continue to retain David as my realtor in my future real estate endeavours.."

Absolutely wonderful to work with. It's like having a friend on the inside that is working with you. He really cares about his clients as well. I will definitely recommend Derek and use him as a realtor again.

"David was truthful and knowledgeable from the first step to the last. He was incredibly accommodating about the special requests I had for my pets during showings and many times went above and beyond. The sale of our house was due to divorce and David was discreet and nonjudgmental. His goal is to help you sell your house as quickly as possible but he won't sacrifice a fair price for a quick commission. He returns calls and emails promptly and knows the market so well he can almost always answer specific questions regarding other homes for sale or sold in your neighbourhood from memory. If he doesn't know the answer, he will find out and get back to you. If you want flattery and an initially inflated recommended list price, feel free to pay more for it. David is straightforward, honest, and gets the job done. I would absolutely have him as a realtor again and would recommend him to anyone I know."

We used Derek to sell our townhouse and I cannot say enough good things about him and the services that he provided. Derek was prompt, professional and was able to answer any questions we had thoughout the process. His communication was...

"It has been a few weeks since we moved, and wanted to take the time to write a review for David. I just don't have enough good things to say about his work for us. From the start he was very concise, made certain to go over every single bit of paperwork, he took the time to have realistic conversations with us. We always felt that he had our best interests at heart. We shall certainly be recommending him to our friends, and will be using him again soon for a family members home sale."

Derek and his company are incredibly amazing! He did a fantastic job for us, from the first time we met, through the whole process! He impressed us with his care, respect , and professionalism!! We definitely will recommend Derek to all our friends

“Just recently used David to sell my property for the 2nd time. As usual David was extremely knowledgeable about the ever changing real estate market and gave me great advice constantly throughout the course of my sale. Very happy with the price I received and was given a simple relaxing experience in what can be a stressful ordeal. Thanks again David for all your hard work and I can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for a realtor.”

Derek is a super nice guy. He went above and beyond to help us sell our old place and find a new one. Buying and selling your home is a stressful situation and a great agent like Derek Vanderkooy makes the difference.

“I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend David as a Realtor. He offered excellent advice and guidance throughout the process of selling our home, and his attention to detail is second to none. He had our place sold after only a few days on the market.”

Derek helped me sell my condo fast and over asking price when I was in a rush to sell. He is friendly, informative and professional. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. I have worked with others before and he was by far my favourite to work with!

"David, Thank you very much for all your help in getting our home SOLD and not only sold, but at full price! We know that there were some challenging "issues" involved where you had to put your investigative skills to good use. We really appreciate your help right through the negotiation process."

Derek has been a pure pleasure to work with on the sale of our house. He helped us walk through each step, how to prepare and what to expect. Very professional and responsive in every aspect.

“Selling our home after 39 years during Covid19 was such a huge decision. Thanks to Using David’s services at 1% Realty we were able to work with him and sell our home. He is a very professional, knowledgeable and proficient realtor who we found to be diligent at all times in helping sell our family home. We would not hesitate in using his services and in recommending him to anyone looking for realty services at anytime. We feel very fortunate to have sold our home with his guidance and knowledge.”

When we set up to select someone to help us sell our property we talked to a number of different realtors, both from conventional brokerages and discount brokerages such as 1% Realty. Derek impressed us with his knowledge of the industry...

“I Highly recommend David. He is Professional, Knowledgeable, and did a outstanding work in selling our house! Saved thousands of dollars hiring him and his company 1% Realty!”

Derek is one of the most helpful and honest real estate agents I’ve worked with so far! I highly recommend him. He helped sell my place in a short period of time and made sure that I was well informed every step of the way. :)

“We are so happy with our new home, and much credit goes to David. His diligence, effort, endless hard work, wisdom, patience and kindness were unwavering. He was available and communicated at every turn. We saw a lot of places, in a pandemic, with kids in tow. The quality of his service and support was second to none. Despite the crazy market he never abandoned his work ethic, values, advice or plan. At every juncture when we were having to make a quick decision about offers it was comforting to know David had the same sound and solid approach as the first offer. We felt supported in every decision and never once felt pressured. We cannot thank David enough and feel immense gratitude every day as we enjoy our lovely new home.”

Derek was such a pleasure to work with! He is reliable, professional and attentive. In a crazy market, he was able to help us through the selling process and ensure we were always comfortable and happy! Derek was always available for our...

“David provides excellent customer service and attention to detail that you want and need from your realtor. I would highly recommend him.”

Derek was fantastic representing us in the sale of our home and in navigating our dealings with the bank, lawyer, and builder. He was great at understanding what we needed from our Realtor and helped make the entire process go a lot...

“I have bought and sold three homes through David. The last one was of particular significance as market conditions were changing rapidly. David’s pricing recommendation was counter to my own intuition but I trust his expert advice. The sale was made within ten days and had I not take David’s recommendation, we would have left a significant amount of money on the table. David is professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and to the point. I highly recommend.”

A very good realtor. Diligent, goes above and beyond and is easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

“I had the pleasure of dealing with David a few months ago and he was great to deal with. He was patient, articulate and knowledgeable. The market was not the greatest at the time but he was still able to get a deal done that I was happy with. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to my friends and family.”

Derek was a complete pleasure through the entire process. Even when things got stressful, Derek was there to help and had all the answers. I would recommend him to anyone.

“We were very happy with David’s involvement in the recent sale of our apartment. He clearly knows the local market, how to make the pitch and he was equally thorough and efficient with the contractual arrangements. It really was as close to click and forget as anyone can be when the sell a property. We had an open house, three private tours and an accepted offer within a week of going on the market. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.”

“Last year at this time we had the distinct pleasure of meeting David Maitre of One Percent Realty. David is a highly skilled, dedicated, professional realtor. His attention to detail and impeccable customer service are second to none. We were so fortunate to have him as our realtor for the sale of our home, he made the entire experience less stressful and was very vigilant in keeping us informed every step of the way. We would strongly recommend him for all of your real estate transactions. David and his team of experts are committed to excellence and he delivers extraordinary results with the utmost of integrity.”

“Excellent service. David is a very good communicator and made the selling experience an excellent one for both my mom and. I can’t think of one thing he could have done to make the sale of my mom’s house any better!!”

“I would highly recommend David Maitre of One Percent Realty to choose as a realtor. He sold my townhouse last fall in Maple Ridge and I was completely satisfied with working with him. He was very professional and knowledgeable, always prompt and accessible. My property was listed on all of the web sites so was visible to everyone and he scheduled frequent open houses and showings.”

“David Maitre of One Percent Really is professional. His knowledge and attitude in helping us to sell the property is 100% satisfactory. Highly recommended.”

“David was quick to respond to emails/texts/phone calls. He was on time for appointments, and had a very straightforward approach to helping me sell my home. He was practical, reliable, and honest.”

"I first heard of David Maitre and his partner through a program on CKNW and decided then that if I put my house on the market I would definitely consider using their services. And I chose the right people. David’s expertise, in-depth knowledge of marketing and how to reach the right people led me to receive two offers on my property within 5 days and subsequent sale. I would recommend David Maitre as a knowledgeable and dedicated realtor who will focus on selling your property in a timely manner."

It was an absolute pleasure working with David Maître as our agent! He assisted us with selling our late brother’s house and was compassionate and very helpful during this difficult time. I would recommend him in a heartbeat :) Thanks so much David

David is a professional that pays attention to detail. he goes above and beyond to make sure things are done properly. We would recommend him to family and friends for sure. If we are looking to sell our house in future we will definitely call David.
