investment properties portfolio in Vancouver Parvin Jamshidi- investor from Vancover, BC.......
Just wanted to take a moment and thank Debby Ward for helping me to rent my condo 6 days after buying and selling another condo 6 weeks after listing! My condo was in the market for 6 months before and I was so disappointed. Also no one in the building could sell any condo as fast as she did.. not even the builder with a lower price!

I have been living here for about 14 years and working with different people, but she really has a unique ability and personality. Her professionalism, friendly manner, honesty and reliability are much appreciated. I would certainly recommend Sunstar to my friends.

"It is our great pleasure and most delighted to have this opportunity to express a few words about David and his company staff's work performance. It has been nearly two years since we started out a business relationship, it started with a high recommendation from a mutual friend who is also a well established Realtor whom we valued. Ever since our business and personal relationship started, we have in fact gradually increased and expanded our portfolio to him, not only our own properties but also recommended our children's properties are also now being managed by David's company and they are all very satisfied with David's service. Therefore we have no hesitation to highly recommend David's company to any one who might need his service.

Again our sincere congratulations to you David and Judy and your hardworking staff on your 10 year Anniversary and wish you many many successful years ahead."

investment properties portfolio in Vancouver Mrs. Yuet Kuen Mo- investors from Vancouver, British Columbia......
"I have invested in a few rental properties in Vancouver. I have tried different Realtors before as managers but the result was more than disappointing.

After I hired Sunstar Realty as my property manager, all worries and headaches about tenancy matters are history. Sunstar not only helped me find the right investment properties, which satisfied my long-term investment strategies. And the subsequent management service had been excellent! I don't know anything about tenant screening and selection. Sunstar had been picking really high quality tenants for my rental properties since 1995.

With Sunstar as my property manager, I only need to check my bank statements every now and then, and don't have to worry at all about any tenancy matters. My suggestion: Don't buy any investment properties unless you have Sunstar as your property manager."

* We acquired and managed several houses and condo units in Vancouver for the Mo's family.

David, thank you and your team for managing my property.

Vancouver Eastside condo James Shao- accountant from Vancouver, B.C.......

For any owners leasing property, prompt and professional management agents are essential and critical. That is how we have felt with what Sunstar have offered.

Vancouver Eastside condo Jackie Teed- investor from Vancouver, B.C.......
The Sunstar team managed our property for the seven years we owned it. Having Sunstar on our side made owning a rental property easy and stress free. We always had tenants, and they were consistently reliable. Statements and deposits were clear and always on time. Whenever we had a question or the tenants needed assistance the Sunstar team responded right away, always friendly and helpful. When we put the property up for sale after seven years of rental, our realtor complimented the state of repair and it sold quickly. If we have a rental property again, we will use Sunstar as our property managers.

* We managed a Kitsilano condo unit in Vancouver Westsdie for Ms. Teed.


Richmond condo Sherri Thorpe- from Richmond, B.C......
"When I decided to list my condo for rent for the first time, I interviewed several property management companies. I chose Sunstar Realty because David showed genuine interest in the property’s value both as a rental and an investment, and cared as much about finding quality tenants as I did. I knew immediately that he was the right person for the job and that he would not only represent my best interests, but would provide both me and my tenants with a high level of service. I can honestly say I was never disappointed. David and his staff demonstrate a rare level of professionalism and made renting my condo a completely worry-free experience. I have and will continue to recommend him to friends and colleagues without hesitation."

* We managed a condo near Steveston Village in Richmond for Ms. Thorpe.

Investors Who Live Abroad:

Richmond condo Jacquie and John Christian- currently working abroad for World Vision.....
"We are joint owners of a rental property in BC. As a family, the nature of our employment has required us to be based abroad. Over the last eight years or so, we've enjoyed a strong, professional relationship with David Mak and Sunstar Realty. Our property has remained continually rented despite experiencing turnover in tenancy. The tenants have been of a high quality consistently, through careful referencing and checks carried out. The exigencies that arise and need to be dealt with while living abroad, are a separate chapter. Once again, David, through Sunstar Realty has delivered quality services.

The net impact: our lives have been peaceful with respect to the maintenance and management of our property. Through our experience thus far, we have no hesitation in recommending David Mak and his professional approach to property management to clients and users who are on the look out for predictable, high quality services."

* We manage a condo penthouse unit in Richmond for the Christian's family.


Burnaby single family detached house David Conitzer- investor from the United Kingdom......
I've been working with David and the Sunstar team since 2009 and have found them to be excellent to work with. They took over from another agent and the difference was amazing.

During that time despite the normal coming and going of tenants I can't think of one period when my apartment was not rented. The financial side was expertly handled by Sharon and for me having Sunstar as my agents meant I never had to stress or worry about my apartment which was really important as I'm based in the UK.

Can't recommend them highly enough.

* We managed a heritage conversion loft in Yaletown proper for Mr. Conitzer. (taken from Sunstar's Facebook Reviews)


Kitsilano condo Lisa Fedorak- Dubai, United Arab Emirates.....
"I hired Sunstar Realty Ltd. in 2010 to manage my condo in Vancouver. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the company. I have found both David Mak and Florence Chan to be very professional and the service from everyone I have dealt with has been excellent. Since engaging Sunstar, having an overseas investment property has become a much more pleasant experience. I wish I had found Sunstar three years ago when I first moved overseas, and I would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone looking for a property manager."

* We managed a Kitsilano rental condo in Vancouver Westside for Ms. Fedorak.

I can truly state that I am very lucky to find David Mak of Sunstar Realty, I have minimal worries regarding my property in David's hands and would recommend Sunstar Realty if you want 'peace of mind' Management. ."

* We acquired, managed and sold a single-family detached investment property in Vancouver Eastside for the Khera's family.


Vancouver Downtown condo Gordon Kelsey - San Francisco, CA, USA......
"I found Sunstar Realty on the web some years ago. I was unhappy with the service we were getting - or not getting - from our then management company. Owning two suites, we needed a company who we could work with from a distance, who were efficient and above all quick to respond.

On meeting David we were impressed by his professionalism and since then have been totally satisfied with how he and his staff have handled our rentals. The most important plus has been their fast response to and resolution of any question or problem when it has arisen. This is crucial when you are an out of country owner.

We can recommend David and Sunstar Realty with confidence."

Burnaby single family detached house Jon Lee- project management specialist from Richmond, BC. currently working abroad......
We started working with Sunstar in 2012 as we were looking for a property manager for our single family home in Richmond. As our primary asset and our "home" for the prior 13 years we needed someone who we could trust and work with as we would be living outside of Canada. David, Pearl and the rest of the team have been incredible.

Communication is prompt, clear and comprehensive. Everything we do is over email and we have an agreement that if they don't hear back from us, that they do what they feel is necessary not just for the tenant but also our house.

We have had two renters that have been great and that we met not specifically intending is needing to but just due to circumstances.

Overall, it is all about a win win win - us, getting good renters and a good business for Sunstar.

* We managed a single family house in Richmond for Mr. Lee. (taken from Sunstar's Facebook Reviews)

I cannot express enough my appreciation and gratitude for the peace of mind provided through their consistent professionalism, advice and care. And all at a very reasonable rate, compared to other realtors and agencies around the world offering similar services. David's team continued to maintain the same level of service even while my unit was on the resale market, dealing with issues and ensuring my accounts were current. It was a complete pleasure working with Sunstar, particularly the well-informed and professional accounting and office personnel. I could not have asked for more! I would not hesitate to utilize Sunstar's services again in the future. "

Richmond condo Zarina Vakhitova- world traveller.....
I decided to use Sunstar Realty over 4 years ago and am very happy with my decision. The employees and the management have been very accommodating to my needs. They answered my emails and resolved the issues promptly. My apartments would have a tenant in them within a month after advertising! Sunstar was able to secure high rates of rent. The tenants Sunstar Realty found were excellent tenants and I have not had any issues with them whatsoever. I would highly recommend Sunstar Realty to anyone looking for a residential management company.

Comments from our Tenants:

Vancouver condo Jay Helmus, Vancouver, BC.
We rented from Sunstar Realty for roughly 3 years and I don't think we've ever had a better renting experience. They were so incredibly great to rent from the whole time. Easy going, fair, professional. Amazing communication. They even helped facilitate a reduction in rent when we had a water problem with the building for a couple months (not their fault obviously). Move out was a breeze as well. Couldn't be happier and will miss renting from them!

* Jay Helmus was our tenant at a Vancouver Fairview condo for almost three years.


Richmond condo Chris Browes and Jillian Oliver, Vancouver, BC.
We had the pleasure of renting an apartment managed by Sunstar Realty for two years. In our experience, the Sunstar team was consistently professional, reliable, and friendly. They were attentive to any issues that we had with the apartment, and made every effort to ensure that both our move in and move out went as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend renting an apartment from them, or using them as your property management company.

* Chris and Jillian were our tenants at a West End penthouse for a two year tenancy.


Kitsilano condo Scott and Katherine Petsel, Vancouver, BC.....
As a recent first-time renter in Vancouver (but long time former homeowner elsewhere), I was impressed by the professionalism, helpfulness and attention to prompt service of Sunstar Realty. I didn't know much about the details of renting but David Mak walked me and my wife through the process with patience. After 2.5 years of doing business with them I would recommend them highly!

* Mrs and Mrs. Petsel rented a Coal Harbour condo from us when they were relocated to Vancouver for work from the United States.(taken from Sunstar's Yelp Reviews)


Kitsilano condo Jeremy Wallace, Vancouver, BC.....
When we moved to Vancouver we stumbled across Sunstar Realty and were incredibly lucky to rent two of their properties over the past five years. They are by far the most professional and customer-oriented property management company we have ever rented from and my wife and I would highly recommend them. We were always impressed by how quickly and efficiently they responded to our calls and how friendly everyone in the company was. They truly go over and above to ensure that you are happy and "looked after" in your new home. The bottom line is their properties are all well maintained and offered at a fair price. If I were looking to rent in Vancouver, I would look no further!
