After 20 years as a realtor myself, I know what it takes to get the job done professionally and properly. I knew from our first meeting that Geoff was the one to hire. Several years and several successful transactions later, I consider him the best choice to handle our real estate business in the area.

Our realtor, Holly Sansom was both professionally remarkable and personally friendly. She was broadly experienced, business-like, and she accessed her company's records to refresh her memory regarding our purchase of the property almost 10 years ago. She was excellent with management of all the electronic files, knew how to handle competing offers very professionally, and she was tolerant of our naivety respecting process. Her backup support was excellent and, in our opinion, she couldn't have been better..

Very personable and knowledgeable, friendly, professional and willing to "listen". Can see potential and really worked both diligently and with so much effort to show the property in its best light. Very polite and firm; this whole team works hard to get results and results they do get. We are so pleased to have them working for us...it was definitely the right choice to go with this team.

The choice to sell was difficult, but Jeremy Semple made the whole transaction go smoothly. He was caring and compassionate and made a real effort to ensure during a very difficult time for us that we had plenty of time for preperation of showings. Very prompt with feedback. I would definetly recommend Jeremy, heck i even tried to get him to be my agent out of province. I was a little sad, but felt good knowing he would find the right one for me.
Thanks Jeremy and the rest of the team

Darren Neuhaus went over and above to help us find our forever home. We would highly recommend him as an agent and cannot begin to express how happy we are with his personal service, patience, willingness to get us the information needed for us to make our decisions and his positive attitude. We would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family!

Kyle made the very stressful process of buying a home in the competitive Victoria market quite pleasant! His even keel and kind demeanor kept us from losing our heads and his expertise and excellent negotiating skills landed us a fantastic home. We would absolutely work with Kyle again, he is a gem!

Jeremy and his team played a pivotal role in our family’s complex move from Toronto to Victoria. His knowledge and expertise was indispensable while we embarked on familiarizing ourselves with the many neighbourhoods, areas and Victoria’s real estate market in general. Jeremy was patient, honest, sincere and always provided us with trust worthy advice. He really took the time to listen, learn our needs and gently pushed us into making all the right moves. Now, a few months after our purchase, we feel as good as ever about the decisions we made and where we landed. We have no doubt that without Jeremy in our corner, this interprovincial move to an unfamiliar city would have been a lot more complicated. We look forward to working with Jeremy and the amazing team at McLean again as we venture into purchasing a rental property!

Unless you are a fellow Recruiter, you may think it's odd that I literally interviewed six different Realtors before selecting who to partner with. During that sixth interview, I met with Jeremy Semple and knew right away that I was going to partner with him to find my first dream home. Jeremy is extremely easy to work with and is very knowledgeable. I was looking for a transient zoned (short-term rentals, less than 30 days) condo in downtown Victoria, BC. I also requested a number of boxes to be checked off for this already hard search and a tighter budget than to be desired when looking for one of these specific units. Jeremey had answers to all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. I will be working with Jeremy again and encourage others to partner with him too. Thank you so much for all your hard work, Jeremy! It is extremely appreciated. You truly made me feel that you had my best interest at heart and just wanted to make sure that I found the right unit. Because of our partnership, I did!

Our agent, Darren was very helpful in the purchase of the property we bought. He returned any phone-calls promptly and set up appointments quickly and accommodated our time schedule as we had to drive from Nanaimo to Victoria.
Darren was always on time and answered any questions we had to the best of his knowledge. He helped us through the purchase process and made it all very easy.

We have purchased several times, and the McLean Real Estate group has been the only one we used multiple times. His experienced was evident when we had difficulty with the assigned appraiser, which required a few extensions to the subject removal dates. Geoff acted very quickly and efficiently to ensure the extensions were approved and kept us updated. He was a calming force during a stressful period. The entire McLean Real Estate Group provided excellent assistance with every aspect of purchasing our house, ensuring all documentation was correctly completed, as well as guiding us through the entire process. We highly recommend the McLean Real Estate Group for a less stressful purchase or sale of a home.

This was a virtual purchase. I only met Kyle over the phone but he was so easy to chat with and has great knowledge how military families work. He was always available to chat (even with a 3hr time difference) and very eager to assist us with a virtual tour and finally the purchase of our new home. He is very calming which was great for us being first time virtual buyers

Geoff McLean is not only one of the most experienced agents in the Victoria area but nobody could be more ethical and honest than him. We have had Geoff as our agent on two occasions and each time he has saved us from difficult situations which came up during the sale of our property. Geoff knows the market, is meticulous and honest to the core. There should be more like him.

Quite impressed with how well this group worked together. Plenty of communication, personable, connecting the dots, getting the sales in order and signed asap. We enjoyed the personal connections too which we feel are important when it comes to dealing with what can often be a stressful time for all involved.

Geoff McLean is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in and, around Victoria. He was recommended to us by a Remax Realtor from Calgary about eight years ago. For an entire year, the office would send us possible properties we’d be interested in. We took at least a year, to determine what we were looking for....It takes a lot of patience to show people properties, when they don’t even know what they’re really look for! Geoff was very patient with us, in our quest to find a condo for our son to live in while attending university.
Thanks, to the entire staff, for your professionalism, perseverance in helping us make the right decision!

We used Geoff 10 years ago to purchase our first house in Victoria. He is a professional who is easy to communicate with and is very knowledgeable about the Victoria housing market. We always knew we wanted to purchase another home so Geoff kept us in the loop and sent us the updated listings in the areas we were interested in on a regular basis. We felt completely comfortable contacting him to ask questions about any property we were interested in. We just purchased another property and, again, Geoff was very helpful in completing the sale with his many years of knowledge and professionalism. We would definitely use Geoff and his team again.

We have just sold our house and bought another property with the help of Jeremy Semple and his team. Jeremy was an excellent agent and we would definitely recommend him. He is very knowledgeable through every stage of the buying and selling. Whenever we had a question or concern, he would always get right back to us and followed through quickly on things he said he would do. He has a great personality and lots of patience!
We will definitely recommend him to anyone we know looking for a realtor.

The time when Covid shut downs were just beginning, I thought there would not be a hope of selling my house. Jeremy Semple was there every step of the way to calm my fears, explain the things I didn't know, and efficiently market the house. It sold in three weeks. Everyone on the McLean Team was unfailingly charming and efficient and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Kyle Deveau is new to the team and showed consistent professionalism and knowledge towards his job and the market. I felt very confident working with him and his team and within a few weeks we would find the dream home we were searching for. We had a time crunch to get our affairs in order when we put in our offer and Kyle was able to make sure we had everything and everyone we needed to close the deal. This took a lot of stress off us. Thank you to Kyle and his team for making this a fun stress free experience.

I always felt he was on my side, he gave me good guidance and made things as easy as possible to buy the home I'm in.
I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

We will be purchasing additional properties in the future and will definitely use Geoff's team. Secondly, we appreciate the regular updates on the marketplace on the Island and find the information very useful. As a Realtor from Alberta - I am impressed with the whole process of the real estate transaction with Geoff's team. All the best

We bought at the height of the mad crazy rush for homes. Most places were sold within an hour of their listing. Most places were going for WAY more than the listed price...
Then we found a place - it was an open house, designed to get a frenzy of activity and drive up the price. There were LOTS of people, and 2 realtors waiting to plunk down money for their clients that didn't even see the place!
Discussed with Geoff, and he had a few ideas that didn't include just giving more money... so we put in our bid $1 more than the asking price - and figured for sure it was gone to others!!
Monday morning we get a phone call from Geoff - we own a house!!
Without Geoff's ideas and help - we would have never been able to buy such a great piece of property ! He pulled off a miracle for us!

My wife and I have used Geoff as our agent on two occasions, the year we purchased our townhouse in 2007 and on the sale of the same unit in September of this year. On both occasions we were extremely pleased with how he and his staff handled both transactions. We found him to be very trustworthy and efficient, keeping us informed on every step of the sale resulting in a successful conclusion. Should we ever be in the market for another property in the Victoria area, we would certainly use Geoff and his team to assist us.

We were very pleased with all the work the team and Geoff McLean did for us when we were selling our townhouse. We were kept up to date with viewers comments and appointments were always on time and we were given plenty of notice beforehand.Geoff was of great help finding listings for us to view and setting up appointments for our viewing when we were looking for a condo.
Sincerely,

I've done three real estate transactions with Geoff over the past 25 years. Even though each one had its own unique set of twists and turns, Geoff navigated each one to a successful completion. Through every transaction, I always found Geoff to be knowledgeable, patient, respectful and professional. If anyone ever asked me to recommend a real estate agent, I would always give them Geoff's name.

We used Geoffs services to sell our house in 1997, and were lucky to have found him. He was very professional and personable, inspiring confidence that he would represent us well. Our house sold quickly and the transaction was very smooth. He is backed by a capable team of people, and we felt that we were in safe hands.
We would not hesitate to recommend Geoff McLean as probably one of the best real estate agents in Victoria, and if in future we decide to move he will again be our choice. Thank you, Geoff, and team!

We were amazed at how quickly and professionally they went to work and had the deal done. Our home was listed one day and sold the next. We met each person in the Group and have nothing but praise for each and every one of them.
We highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of an excellent realtor.

He has great knowledge of the area as he has been doing this for a number of years. Our realtor in Ontario set us up to meet with him back in 2015 as was very highly recommended as my wife and I can see why.
we have met with Geoff several times since and would not even think of using someone else.

Geoff guided us to our first house in 1986. We kept in touch professionally and personally through sports. Through smart, yearly invitations to use him again as a realtor as well as a personal invitation to his open house on Prospect Lake we knew we would use him again. 27 years later he was able to make recommendations on our addition that led to an immediate sale. As a Realtor who never over pressed but kept us in the loop, I would highly recommend him as your Realtor.
Rick Krawetz

2017 was one of the hardest years for us, we had to sell our place and find a new one in order to offset the financial hurdles that stood before us. Knowing that the value of our location rose quite a bit in the past 2 years since we bought it we approached a real estate agent. After the initial conversation we understood the agent will try to sell our place as quick as possible even if it meant losses for us.
We then approached Geoff. Geoff wasn't in a rush, he understood our needs and that what we are looking for is achievable, even if it will take longer. In the end we sold for the price we wanted, and they helped us found the house we wanted and love living at.
Yaniv Ran

We have used Geoff and Jodi twice in the past 5 years to purchase and once to sell. They have surpassed our expectations both times. The second purchase involved 5 bidders and although we were not the highest offer Geoff managed to convince the sellers that we were the right couple for the house. We have enjoyed every minute of the house and do not hesitate to recommend the team to anyone we hear who may be looking. I know we will use them again if the need ever comes up again.
Brian Taylor
