Dallas helped us buy our first home. We knew nothing and he walked us through the whole process. He was kind and knowledgable and very flexible. He came to us through heavy traffic to make it easier for our schedules. Dallas went above the call of duty!! I would definitely recommend Dallas for all real estate needs. He is my go to real estate agent. I would trust him with anyone in my family. He is honest and hardworking.
Thank you Dallas for helping us achieve our greatest dream.

Dallas is both experienced in business, construction and cabinets and finishing. He is from Victoria as well, and is very familiar to the neighbourhoods and amenities.This was all really important for us as we know Victoria only somewhat, and lived in Manitoba.
We actually bought without seeing the property. Dallas used FaceTime for our tour and was able to point out quality or issues.We emailed and phoned more than most people because we were not there, and Dallas always responded and got us the information we needed. Also with a very hot market, Dallas needed to be available to view as properties came up, and this was never a problem.
Dallas was able to work with both cooperative and uncooperative agents and sellers, in a very professional and patient way.
We knew Dallas wanted us to be very happy with our property, focused on what we were looking for, and would rather we took our time than make a sale.This has not always been our experience in the past, so we really appreciated that!
The long distance aspect also went surprisingly easy due to technology available. Very happy with our choice of agent!

My husband and I are immigrants. We didn't know a lot of things about buying a property. We misunderstood things because of the language barrier. Dallas was there for us - patiently answering questions, explaining things we didn't understand. He even drove several times, late at night to help us finish our paper work! Who will do that? We felt CARED FOR during the whole process. There were tough times and we both wanted to stop and give-up - just forget the whole thing! Dallas encouraged us, stood with us, not only offering options but actually did practical things to help us. I work in the community health sector on a tough 24-hr-shift, 4-5 days in a row. Dallas sought me where I was assigned, went over paper work, step by step and helped me finish them. I had no time during the day to contact people like inspectors, brokers or lawyers. He did all the appointments for us, kept us connected with these people. The best part of it- these guys were competent ones! Before and after we moved in, he made sure that we got everything we needed. He appeared in person to help, not over the phone. Without Dallas' competence, honesty & caring attitude, we would have given up buying a property!

Dallas worked all hours of the day to get us into our new home. We never felt that our constant communication and persistence were anything other than welcome, and any hiccup that arose was dealt with quickly and expertly. We appreciate everything Dallas did to support us and make us feel like we were his most important clients. Thank you, Dallas!

Dallas was very professional, friendly, thorough and prompt throughout the whole process. I would gladly recommend him to anyone buying or selling real estate.

Dallas is very customer focused and professional. He always spoke to us in a respectful manner and went the extra mile to ensure we were looked after i.e. he had a contractor come into a property we were interested in to search for an underground oil tank on his own volition and set-up home inspections for us as part of our due diligence. He worked with us for months finding the right property in a hot market and we will gladly work with him in the future.

Dallas was pretty much sent down from heaven to help us buy a home. We had a brand new baby and were moving from Vancouver to Victoria, so not available to just run to any showing for lots of reasons. Dallas lined up anything we wanted to see at times that worked for us, and also made lots of good suggestions as we went. He made a suggestion that we passed on at first, and then regretted passing because he was totally right, it was a perfect fit. Lo and behold it came back on the market and Dallas jumped faster than anyone else, and even went to view it for us first when we couldn't make it to town that quickly. He gave us honest and straightforward advice (and pep talks!) as we went, and in the end we got the place we really wanted and needed at a great price. It wasn't super straightforward as a purchase (it had renters for example) but Dallas was able to navigate all of that with us and for us so we felt like we knew exactly what our obligations and right were. On top of all this he was prompt, thorough, never ever rushed, and really genuinely interested in understanding our needs and getting not just any place but the right place for us. He was truly invested in our best interests, and went above and beyond with communication, advice, and even insight on moving to Vic and what to know. The market was insane that month, inventory was crazy low, and we were only 2nd time buyers, so by no means experienced. I could not have been happier to have Dallas on our team, we were going through a crazy season of life (new baby, moving) and he calmed the waters when we really could have found ourselves struggling to keep up. We will be referring any and all of our friends to him in the Victoria area!

Dallas was outstanding. I met him through a friend and told him my situation. I am a young first-time home buyer who was struggling to get into the Victoria market. I was living in a terrible basement suite with a worse landlord and a November 1st deadline given my unique lease. Like many landlords, mine was hoping I would leave so he could increase rent.
Dallas was awesome. He was patient even after five showings proved fruitless. The final showing was what almost all agents struggle with, a For-Sale-By-Owner. The sellers were ruthless about lowering their price even though this was their second attempt at listing their home. I asked Dallas to be aggressive and he surpassed my expectations. I asked him to counter offer and he countered. He was a shrewd negotiator and after the fourth counter-offer he delivered. I obtained a beautiful 2676 sq ft home, with a suite, for a great price. We negotiated me being able to move into the suite a month before the December 1st closing, and even that all remediations (mold in attic, carpet cleaning, etc.) be completed in advance.
Dallas King's previous experience in trades is also invaluable. There was 454 sq ft of unfinished space that was already framed and wired and Dallas ballparked what it would cost to finish the space. He was within 10% of the final figure. He suggested quality tradespeople that he knew personally so I did not have to go through the dreadful process of trying to find reliable trades. All of them were terrific. Dallas King goes beyond the close and I strongly recommend him for anyone looking for their first home or purchasing a property with the intention to renovate. I rest easy knowing I have a reliable realtor on my side.

I recommend Dallas King to everyone! He is professional, capable, hardworking and patient. Dallas went above and beyond for me because I do not live close to the property I sold. If you want to sell or buy Dallas King is your guy.
Kim LaCouvee
Dallas was amazing and I would recomend him to anyone! He listened to what we wanted, found it for us and was able to find and get us the fixer upper we now love!
Thank you Dallas!

Dallas was so great to work on the very complicated purchase of our home. I just wrote a lovely review and it erased, so I scrolled through other comments and they totally echo my experience. Dallas is hard working, dependable, relaxed yet diligent and so competent to buy and sell the ideal home. So much so, I have strongly recommended him to family and friends and they have all been amazed by how a great realtor can transform a stressful time into a great experience!
Maren Ballard
Dallas just helped us buy our first home, a condo in Oakland’s Victoria. Knowing what the current market is like here we went in to this expecting it to be a long and arduous experience. It wasn’t at all, we got our condo (which we love) within weeks. Dallas gave us great advice throughout and showed us some lovely places. When we found one that we wanted and put an offer in, Dallas stayed up till midnight negotiating our purchase. We are recommending Dallas to all of our friends and who are looking to buy.
Bryn Lucas
I would like to take this opportunity to share my experience of purchasing my first home with Dallas representing me as my agent. I work in an industry where I understand the importance of clear, transparent communication and Dallas excelled with his ability to keep me informed throughout this entire process. He was always accessible, approachable and professional. His strong work ethic allowed me to continue running my own business while he screened a number of properties in person. Dallas was able to find us a property that met and exceeded all of our criteria and through proper planning and strategy we were able to obtain an accepted offer under asking price in a market that is very strong. Even now a couple months after we’ve moved in Dallas is still following up to ensure all is going well. I do not hesitate to recommend Dallas to represent anyone in the sale or purchase of a home or property as his character and professionalism set him apart!
