Testimonials

“We found Claudio very approachable and very easy to deal with. The most important thing in a sales person is the ability to listen. Claudio really seemed to listen to our needs and try to match up what was available in the market to our needs. I found that Claudio wasn’t pushy or high pressure which is important. No one likes to be pressured into a decision as serious as buying a house. Most importantly, he was very flexible about timing and working around our schedule.”

Tom & Deborah J.

"As co-executor of a family member’s estate, I managed multiple beneficiaries in different locations and oversaw the sale of a property in North Vancouver’s prestigious Pemberton Heights neighbourhood. Given my real estate experience, I interviewed four agents and ultimately recommended Claudio Tonella of Sutton Group.

While other agents suggested a tear-down and land-only sale, Claudio proposed modest cosmetic improvements to position the home as an entry-level property in the neighbourhood. Despite a declining single-family home market in 2024–2025, his strategy resulted in a sale well above what a tear-down would have achieved.

Claudio’s professionalism, steady temperament, honest market insight, and patient guidance were instrumental in navigating a complex and emotionally challenging sale with multiple beneficiaries. I highly recommend Claudio and would gladly work with him again."

Peter F.

"Claudio was fantastic to deal with while selling our home and helping us find our new home. He was very responsive and provided us with all the information we needed to make informed decisions. I would recommend his services to anyone buying or selling."

Debbie & Rob D.

"We used Claudio to sell and buy a property recently and are very happy with his services. Marketing a 60+ year old home with little to no improvements in a down market amidst rising interest rates is a tough sell but through Claudio's expert guidance using staging, professional photography and aerial video the property sold quickly.

We highly recommend Claudio if you're looking for a realtor. He's proactive without being pushy, knowledgeable and most of all a warm and caring person who always has his clients best interest at heart."

Joyce W. & Martin S.

"Claudio assisted us in the purchase of a condo in a co-op. His experience in dealing with such matters helped us negotiate the purchase and complete all of the paperwork to finalize the sale. Although we had a few misgivings, Claudio helped us understand the value of the property and satisfied our every concern. Also, he referred us to a lawyer who was equally helpful and very knowledgeable."

Ron and Jane K.

"

Claudio has assisted us both as buyers and sellers. Remarkably, each transaction occurred during challenging periods, from navigating Vancouver’s real estate market at a crazy peak in 2016, to most recently during the unprecedented 2020 world of COVID 19. Our reliance upon Claudio, and decision to work with him, is an indication of his level of service, knowledge and commitment.

Claudio has always gone above and beyond representing us and providing expert advice during our real estate transactions. Each process had unique challenges with many moving parts that were stressful to negotiate through. Claudio has a superior work ethic, is extremely professional and a pleasure to team up with selling or buying your home. Claudio is always thoughtful, communicative and available. Texts, emails, or phone calls receive a quick response 24/7 and on any day. Claudio had infinite patience for our endless stream of questions and concerns and worked tirelessly attending to every detail.

Claudio is a trustworthy, top-notch real estate professional to have on your side. We highly recommend his services and would definitely work with Claudio again."

Garfield & Judith J.

"Claudio services helped us sell our place in Deep Cove in early January. We're lucky to have Claudio as our realtor. We were so impressed with his quality of services. He was our realtor for selling and buying. He's a very efficient, friendly, and caring realtor. He¹s always willing to help in giving timely advice when we felt lost in the jungle of un-affordability. We ended up buying our first house after and Claudio made it an enjoyable experience with his efficient help and know how. Currently when we encounter some hiccups with the place of previous owner, Claudio goes the extra mile to get us sound advice and key information to put the situation to rest. He cares so much that we nearly think of him as a member of the family. He is a wonderful, nice and professional agent. I'd highly recommend Claudio as your realtor."
