Following a long history of Hospitality Management in Vancouver, Saturna "called" Michael in 1999. He tweaked his skills to suit Island life and never looked back. With an eye for colour, design & decor and a love of the ocean, Michael has become our "missing link" on Saturna!

TESTIMONIALS:

We have worked with Michael and he’s been super helpful and we wanted to offer a testimonial for Dockside to use as you see fit :-)  We've bought and sold a few properties over the years - not that we're exactly rich, we've just moved a few times and have made a point to own our homes as much as possible. Michael has been thoughtful and considerate and gone above and beyond for us twice over now, providing excellent guidance on the Saturna market and generally just being more helpful than any other realtor we've ever met in BC or Ontario. ~ Highly recommend if you're looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, kind, and considerate real estate agent.;

We just wanted to take a moment to recognize the excellent job undertaken by Michael Vautour in selling our home on Saturna Island. He deserves a big shout out for utilizing his considerable experience and knowledge, and for thinking “outside the box”. We will be forever grateful for his efforts and wish him continued success in future. Michael, you are simply the best!;

I recently sold my vacation home on Saturna Island with the help of Michael Vautour from Dockside Realty. I couldn’t be happier with the service or the outcome.
Michael brought a whole range of skills and attributes to the marketing of my property. He was always prompt and efficient in his communications and I quickly learned that I could depend on him. His attention to detail was confidence inspiring. He quickly understood the concept of the place and was able to convey that in the marketing materials. The listing was spectacular, using the services of a photographer who provided drone footage. I had never seen the place look so good! He also researched the market well and was able to suggest an asking price that  attracted attention and led to a sale in a year when most properties were not selling. He showed the property extensively, and never cut corners to save himself trouble. The negotiations went very smoothly and I felt that I had advice that I could trust at each step in the process. I admire his integrity and feel that the whole transaction was made easier because of his tireless work and skills. I highly recommend his services to anyone, whether they are buying or selling on Saturna.

It is a great pleasure for us to commend Michael Vautour. As our broker, he represented us very efficiently and professionally during the selling process of our house on Saturna Island. Michael always and consistently put our best interests first and often went beyond his usual tasks to assist us in liaising with the community services required to enhance and expedite the sale of our property. Michael certainly knows how to work with people, to make human connections, and to follow up with whatever action is required to move things forward. We are thankful.

I recently purchased a lovely home on Saturna Island with the help of Michael Vautour.  Buying a home can be stressful but Michael made the whole process seamless and pleasant.  I was as impressed with his competence and professionalism as I was with his genuine warmth and patience.  He found me the home I wanted for the price I wanted to pay and I could not have asked for more.  I have had realtors assist me in the sale or purchase of a home several times in the past and this was by far my best experience.
