My experience with Rick was wonderful. As a first time home buyer, I found him patient and easy to express my concerns/neurosis (lol) to. I very much appreciate his tendency to err on the side of caution versus trying to push you into buying a house. When we found the right house, he worked magic to get fairest price possible. And now, after the deal has closed, he is still checking in to make sure I'm on track with the things I need to stay on top of as a first time home buyer. Thanks Rick!!!

I found Rick to be professional, honest, and reliable during the entire process of selling my house which was located at Mt. Washington Resort. His real estate sale experience and his extensive knowledge about the resort were both instrumental in the sale. His frequent emails kept me well informed about the resorts housing market and resort business in general. I would recommend Rick to anyone looking to buy or sell a property at Mt. Washington Resort.

He has worked above and beyond what I would have expected from any real estate agent and I would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

Excellent Service, very committed to ensuring everything was easy.
We purchased our amazing place at Mount Washington with the very capable help of Rick, who has since become a neighbour and friend. He was extremely knowledgeable about the local market, a courteous tour guide, entirely low pressure and yet very efficient and helpful with the final transaction. There is simply no other agent around who can match Rick's expertise at Mount Washington!
Rick kept us very well informed throughout the process and provided great advice regarding listing price and how to best respond to offers, and was always available for us. It was a pleasure to work with someone who is knowledgeable about local markets and so involved in the community.

I highly recommend Rick for purchase both on the mountain and elsewhere. Thank you Rick from the Green Family.
Rick is awesome! Rick was so encouraging to me to not give up and get this deal done. we almost lost this place a couple times but if it was not for Rick's extra hard work I wouldn't be enjoying my new home.. Many thanx again to you Rick.
Rick Gibson has been our realtor for more than 20 years. He is honest, straight forward, creative, an expert in the real estate field, and doesn't waste our time. He is the ultimate professional.
Rick is wonderful to work with. We literally took years to choose the right ski condo for us at Mount Washington, yet Rick never tired of showing us potential units. His knowledge of the overall market and specific buildings is incredibly impressive; and more importantly, he willingly shares everything he knows (even the not necessarily flattering tidbits) so we were able to make an informed decision. Thanks to Rick, we were fully confident in our choice and offer; and very happy with our final purchase.
PROFESSIONAL IMFORMATIVE AND FRIENDLY
First class, VERY responsive, diligent. Good man.
I rang Rick in April and asked him to put my condo on the market and he agreed like a shot. We hadn't met since I bought the condo in 2004 but it was great that he remembered me and I immediately felt he was there for me, not just for a possible sale. He advised me when to put the property on the market, what price, and to save me a long journey, organized cleaners to go in and make the place spotless and ready for viewing. He put up patiently with my vagaries (I am elderly!) and basically took all the worry of selling away, and best of all, sold the condo in a matter of weeks. What else can I say but "thankyou Rick".
We found him very professional & knowledgeable. He kept us informed & he was a big help during negotiations as we were in another country at the time.
Great experience, after trying to sell our house on the mountain for some time now. Rick was the one who was able to make it happen. I think that it helps that he has so many connections to Mt Washington and has been well established there for a number of years.Rick saw the highlights in our property and focused on those .He was always available for questions and very professional .
I used Rick's services when I purchased a condo at Mt Washington fifteen years ago. During those years I came to know and appreciate Rick better. So, when it became time for me to sell, I used Rick again. He is a thorough professional with unparalleled knowledge and experience in the Mt Washington market. He really cares about his clients and is patient with their questions, giving complete and well informed answers. He would be my realtor of choice for any future real estate dealings at Mt. Washington or in the Comox Valley.
Rick Gibson's unsurpassed knowledge of the Mount Washington real estate business was evident right from the start of our transaction. He was able to answer our every question (and some we did not know we should ask!) While leading us through the process, Rick patiently explained our options and helped us reach good decisions. We intend to ask Rick to handle our future property sales and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a great real estate agent.
We have known Rick for many years. As well as being one of the best realtors in the Comox Valley, his knowledge and experience of the Mount Washington property market is second to none. We would use Rick's services again in a heartbeat, and have no hesitation in recommending his friendly and efficient service to others.
Rick was available when we called him, and was honest and transparent in all of our communication. He gave us good advise as far as the pricing of our unit, and encouraged us not to sell when the prices were too low.
I was introduced to Rick after he helped my parents find a home. He spent a lot of time with me finding out exactly what I wanted, and giving me advice. He helped me find the property that was right for me, and helped me negotiate. Rick wasn't afraid to play hardball to help me get the best deal.
Rick was very knowledgeable and experienced with the intricacies of purchasing property on Mount Washington. His familiarity with the history of ownership on the mountain and the properties available is invaluable. He was great to work with; efficient, responsive, honest, authentic and thoughtful. I recommend him to anyone looking to buy on the mountain.
Rick has been our realtor for some 15 or so years. In that time he has shown himself to be reliable, honest, and a person of great integrity. I wholeheartedly recommend his service in the Courtenay/Mt. Washington area to anyone seeking a realtor. I've bought and sold many properties over the years and I generally am either indifferent to or resentful of the commissions I'm charged. With Rick I felt that I had received more than my money's worth.
Our experience with Rick was fantastic! Wow, so quick and painless !! He answered all our questions clearly and professionally. There was no pressure, just positive encouragement that lead us to making the thrilling decision to buy a vacation home. Rick was always on time and was available to us at any time we needed to have a question answered or just some reassurance that our purchase was a sound one. It's great to have someone so thoughtful and knowledgeable to work with. Thanks Rick !!
Rick is wonderful! He sure knows the mountain and went above and beyond in helping us sell our condo. If you're going to buy or sell on the mountain, you've got to go with Rick!
It was great dealing with Rick. He is super knowledgeable about the area and was able to answer any questions that we had. Very helpful and easy to get a hold of. He is able to make a situation that can be stressful go as smoothly as possible.
Looking back at the experience of buying my first home, from the comfort of my new, beautiful living room, view of the river at my doorstep, wood burning stove at my feet, I think about how I almost said no to this. In fact, I did say no....and Rick, what did he say?.....”I think you're making a mistake” and that was all he said. “Damn you” was what I was thinking. Now, looking back at it all, I truly don't believe Rick would have said it if he hadn't actually believed it. His belief turned out to be absolutely right. Despite my fears and uncertainty, I was not led astray. Rick helped me see the potential sitting before me and what I could create. A lot of emotions arise when you buy a house, Rick was patient and thorough at answering my list of questions, posing the right ones back and helping to get me on the path to creating what I was looking for.
Rick was always available and completely honest in getting a very good price for me in the end.
I found Rick a great help in selling the condo property. I ran into some unforeseen legal problems with closing and Rick was most valuable in suggesting solutions which eventually lead to getting the property sold. Happy sellers and happy buyers.
Rick was great to work with. He always got back to us quickly, was flexible with our schedule, and was clearly knowledgeable about the mountain. The entire process was smooth and enjoyable. Rick was helpful and available through every stage, from our first inquiry about opportunities to after the sale had closed.
Rick was an excellent resource in our search. Very knowledgeable and never hesitated to provide thorough information. Feels more like a family member than a realtor, thank you for everything Rick!
Rick spends time with first time homeowners, explaining what to expect and truthfully identifying what is within their price range.
Rick was a great help in the purchasing of a condo on Mount Washington. He was prepared, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I would be very comfortable in recommending his services.
We have known Rick for 16 years, as we purchased our brand new condo in Bear Lodge at Mount Washington through Rick. A very pleasant experience and his knowledge and passion about the mountain always shows. We have had encounters with Rick on strata council, as owners and as directors and Rick is always professional and has the best interest of Bear Lodge in mind. When it was time for us to sell our condo, we wouldn't have chosen anyone but Rick to represent us. We had a quick and easy sale, and with many memories of great family time at Bear Lodge, we say goodbye.
Rick was very helpful with during our home buying experience. His sound advice and experience was greatly appreciated.
All aspects of the sale for which Rick Gibson was responsible were carried out efficiently and in a professional manner. He worked hard to sell my property and succeeded in difficult market conditions; He kept me informed of progress throughout the process and advised me in strategic decisions to facilitate sale of the unit. His extensive knowledge of the Mount Washington property organization and how things are done within that legal framework was extremely valuable on many occasions throughout my ownership of my home on the mountain, as he willingly shared his knowledge and advice. I recommend him to any buyer or seller of property, particularly on Mount Washington.
Rick is the best! He knows the market and the properties extremely well. We would not hesitate to use Rick as an agent and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell property on Mount Washington.
From the first time I met him, I found Rick Gibson an easy person to relate to and talk with. Following an initial viewing of the house, it soon became evident that from a real estate perspective he would offer an objective, realistic opinion of my current house value – quickly identifying both the positive and negative aspects, given the current market and his appreciation of what the average buyer was seeking. Simultaneously it became apparent that he was equally interested in my opinion and interests, as the seller. The end result was that I soon was able to gain a definite appreciation of what my general expectations should be, when the house was listed. Mr Gibson took over all relevant responsibilities related to the listing. One factor of particular value was his taking a “virtual tour’ video of all rooms (set to show the most positive aspects) shareable online. This reduced viewings to buyers with a definite interest. Mr Gibson set viewing times, to accommodate my schedule. As well he determined when these should terminate, so that I could consider relevant offers. When I had made my selection, he remained supportive, working closely with other realtors. All possible issues were efficiently and effectively eliminated or dealt with to my benefit. Mr Gibson helped me understand legal factors prior to completion of the negotiations, responding promptly to any questions I had. Mr Gibson definitely earned his share of final sale proceeds. Certainly, I would recommend him to others. If/when relevant I will call on his services again.
Rick was knowledgeable and professional. He made the whole process of purchasing our property on Mount Washington seamless. We highly recommend Rick.
SOOOOO awesome ! Rick you rock ! You were always one step ahead and always put our needs in front of your own. A true professional and serious negotiator. Rick is the real deal and a straight shooter through and through. Nothing compares to knowledge and experience. Thank you sir !
Rick is the consummate professional in the field at Mt Washington. With an extensive history on the mountain Rick knows each and every inch of the village. As a result, you won't get a more knowledgeable, realistic appraisal. His dedication to his work coupled with an unfathomable work ethic, Rick gets the job done, and done well. We have met with other agents, none are as reputable, honest, and trustworthy. With Rick, you couldn't be in better hands.
Rick was great to deal with, professional, timely on communication, no complaints! Would recommend him to anyone wanting to purchase or buy in the Comox Valley or Mt. Washington!
Rick has a very good bedside manner and clearly presented the options before us and the circumstances surrounding our recreational property sale. I highly recommend Rick for any real estate transaction.
Rick went above and beyond every step of the way. We relied on his knowledge and experience to navigate the busy market and make the best decision for our needs. He guided us through a complicated purchase and we are grateful for it! Thanks, Rick :)
Our experience was good. We went through a period when there was no interest in chalets and then, more recently, when interest rose. Rick explained his thinking and reasons for and against an idea.
Rick Gibson is an exceptional real estate advisor. We have had both the opportunity to buy and sell real estate with Rick. Rick has tremendous knowledge of Mt. Washington and provides the detailed information required to allow you to make the best possible decision.

The service provided by Rick is absolutely fantastic.
Rick just sold our family ski condo at Mnt Washington . The experience was remarkable. From day one it was clear he had our back and our best interests in mind. He is an experienced professional who always kept us in the loop and delivered on his promise to have the place sold quickly despite the challenges of COVID.
If you want THE best realtor, contact Rick Gibson! We had decided to buy a home in the Comox Valley and Rick had been referred to us. We only had a few days, but Rick was able to home in on our requirements and the perfect house was found! Everything went smoothly and we were so fortunate to have Rick working for us. We appreciated his honesty and integrity throughout, from initial contact until closing the deal. Rick efficiently and knowledgeably represented our best interests during the transaction and went above and beyond, making our transition to our new home so much simpler and less stressful! We referred Rick to our son, who also found the perfect property, with Rick's superior assistance and representation!
Very Positive but must Preach Patient once a buyer was found did a masterfull job to complete the sale to my satifaction
Rick is very knowledgeable about the mountain. Went out of his way to help me fulfill a dream to own a place on the ski hill. Very helpful, straightforward, and pleasant to deal with. 5 star!!
My fiancee and I were first time home buyers, relocating long distance from the mainland, when we connected with Rick. We had an unusually challenging experience dealing with a tricky seller and Rick was incredible. He was honest, trustworthy, and assertive every step of way. We always felt like he was working hard for us, and ultimately, we got our perfect first house. We would work with Rick again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend him to anyone.
