Testimonials

My family and I recently relocated from Europe to North Vancouver. Tree’s support was a very important factor in making this relocation a pleasant experience. With Tree’s help, we did not only find a beautiful house in Deep Cove, but also managed to make all the necessary preparations – from utilities through to furniture and grocery shopping – remotely, prior to our arrival. Tree was always available to go the extra mile, we could not have moved to North Vancouver so quickly and easily without her. We highly recommend Tree to all those thinking about moving into the area.

Tree and Wayne are the ultimate professionals with heart and compassion who support your individual needs. They are experts in their field who treated us respectfully and ethically. We’re extremely pleased to have worked with them for 36 years spanning 2 generations.

Tree recently helped us navigate downsizing our home. While this can be a stressful process, we felt very comfortable partnering with her. She was candid, provided great feedback, and made sure the actual sale negotiation went smoothly! We always felt that she was personally committed to the success of our move and put our interests first. As we went on to purchase our next house – in what was a crazy market – Tree found us an ideal new place we’re excited to call home. I don’t think anyone knows Deep Cove and the surrounding area better than Tree!

24 Years, 3 homes and still amazing service and support.  We have had the opportunity to work with Tree over the past 24 years with our home purchases and each time she hits the ground running full of energy to help her clients get what they are looking for and at a fair price.  This time she ventured out to the Valley to find a home that we could purchase with our children to help them get into the market. With a phone call and virtually no notice from us as we found a home that met our want list, she worked her magic. She did her research, gave us sound advice and helped get the deal done.  We could not be happier with our purchase and as our children are first time buyers they were put at ease knowing that Tree was there to answer any of their questions and help with anything they needed. We can not say enough about how well she deals with her clients and the other realtors.  It has been a pleasure to work with her and knowing she is always there to help!

Tree helped us understand the buying process and cared about what we were looking for.  She would get us in to see listings even in the pouring rain.

We don’t think our offer would have been accepted without her advice.  She knows the market and we felt she was an advocate for us throughout the bargaining process.

We recently sold our mums home, which she had been living in for the last 50 plus years.  It was a difficult decision but necessary.  Tree was extremely professional and compassionate when having to discuss listing the home and then the offers.  She listed the house at the right price point to generate a great deal of interest and multiple offers.  We were able to sell mums home over asking.

Tree gave us wonderful advice on how to prepare the home for sale and after we sold it she was there to help.  No question was a bad question; her knowledge of all aspects of what to do after the sale from legal information to getting the house cleaned and everything in between was enormous.  There were many hours of phone calls. 

In her bio she speaks of honesty and service, this goes without saying. We would recommend Tree to anyone whether buying or selling, you could not find a harder worker.  Thank you for everything.

Tree was wonderful to work with. My family and I were brand new to North Vancouver and her knowledge of the area was invaluable. We were able to move into our new home quickly and easily with her help.

I’m so grateful we found a realtor who was so warm, welcoming, extremely professional and approachable. We felt supported from start to finish, thank you Tree!

We are pleased to have selected Tree & Wayne Cleland to be our agents in selling our home. After more than 30 years of not buying or selling real estate, it was daunting to see all the paper work that is now required in ortder to market one’s property. Tree guided us through all of it and assisted us in placing our home in a correct range of pricing as most seems to happen through he internet. Once listed correctly, our home sold quickly.

Tree was also an enormous help as we were downsizing to an apartment and needed to divest ourselves of many items, furniture, etc. She assisted in finding them new homes. Tree gave us personalized help that was much appreciated.

The Loviks


Tree was fantastic to work with. Before we even met her, we heard about a house coming on the market in our neighbourhood with a very tight offer review timeframe. We were told that Tree could connect us with the seller’s realtor and get the inside scoop. She did just that and more, jumping in on a last minute basis to help us get the house inspected and write the offer – and we won the bid! Tree was also a great sounding board when it came to deciding the offer price, never pushing and always providing valuable information. Tree is well respected in the industry and knows what’s going on in the market, which is such an advantage, especially right now and especially in our area. We’d definitely work with Tree again.

Jessica Anderson & Ben Petty


Tree has been such a breath of fresh air. Her expert knowledge of Deep Cove, her long-standing connection to the fabric of the Deep Cove community, and her positive approach to any interaction, no matter how complex ( for example when it came to our tenanted property) was so appreciated.

Tree’s work is exemplary. Tree goes above and beyond, and she adds that much-needed human touch to the whole process of selling your family home. Tree is quick on the up-take; efficient, and decisive. I trust her because she was also responsive to our expectations. Tree got us the price we expected and there was little fuss. Thank you so much Tree! Selling or buying your home with Tree? You are in good hands.

I recently sold a house I purchased in 1970. It was time to downsize after a lifetime of collecting things. I had no clue as to how one went about the downsizing process. Tree Cleland not only explained the process but she mucked in and helped accomplish the task. When my wife became ill during the time had to hand over the keys to complete the sale I was quite unable to cope with the stress. Tree took over, phoned Got Junk and arranged for them to empty the house of anything unneeded and to clean up loose ends.

The whole process of listing, advertising, selling and purchasing a condo to live in was handled efficiently and with a minimum of stress on me, the client. There was never a time when I lacked the information I needed because Tree was constantly updating me on progress. I cannot imagine that any realtor could have made my sale and purchase any easier or better for me. Tree Cleland gets the job done!

From open house to moving into our dream home in two weeks – what more can we say?! Thank you to our dream team of Tree and Lindsay (RBC Mortgage Broker) who, armed with their valuable local knowledge and expertise, went above and beyond to help us secure our forever home. We continue to highly recommend you both to all those thinking of moving into the area. Thank you again.

We highly recommend the Clelands to anyone looking for realtor for the North Shore.  Wayne and daughter Tree have lived in North Van for half a century and know it as well as anyone could.  They provided a detailed prospectus with a color photo of the exterior on one page with details on all the rooms, services etc. plus scale sized diagrams of both floors on the back.  Open houses were held within two weeks of the listing. The house was priced right and an acceptable offer was made within 3 weeks. We could not have been more pleased with their service.

I am pleased to have been asked to write a testimonial for the Clelands. We lived in the “ House that Jack Built “ from 1957 to 2018. Unfortunately, Jack passed away in 2012 but I continued to live on Fairfield Rd with my dog until she died just before Christmas in 2017.

At that time I decided to sell my home and move to a retired seniors residence,

It was at this time I contacted Wayne and Tree. I wanted to know what I should do to get my home ready for sale. I was given the information that I should make my house have “ Curb Appeal “ and then put it on the market.

My house was listed in Feb 2018 and sold within 3 days at the asking price.

I was so impressed with Wayne (father) and Tree (daughter) that I have given their names to several friends.

It was so nice to have realtors that were happy to help you in anyway they could, answering questions, giving information, and helping with any problems.

I am very happy in my new suite and I was told by the new owners of the “ house that Jack Built “ that they are delighted with their new home.

Many thanks to the Clelands for all they did to make selling my home an easy project.

Thanks again to both of you.

There are many good realtors, but what made you truly “one of a kind” is your heart!  I felt like I was being looked after and that my best interests were important to you.  You also went out of your way to include and make my whole family comfortable.There were some tough days and some tough decisions which you helped me through without judgement. I will recommend you to everyone I can and use you again, and again….just hopefully not too soon!

You are the best Tree!!

Love,

Kim and Family


It was an enjoyable experience!  She drove me around to every open house there was.

She held many opens at my home and it became cookie central.

I found my condo in the building that I wanted to live in quite quickly.

I would highly recommend Tree and her Dad (Wayne) to list or sell your home or condo.
