MEET The Linnell Group
Finally, an agent who actually answers the phone
There's nothing more frustrating – aside from crowded ski runs – than an agent who's slow to respond to your calls, texts, and emails. At the Linnell Group, we're known for (always) doing the opposite.

our reviews
You're in good company
Thousands of buyers and sellers like you – from literally all over the world – think it's a smart idea to work with The Linnell Group. Here are a few of their stories.
David Alexander
Dean toured our condo, spent time with us and provided definitive information about putting our property on the market. His extensive list of contacts were very helpful in getting our property ready to market. Our emails were answered promptly, Jennifer handled all documentation quickly and efficiently, and the closing transaction was completed smoothly. In summary, Dean provided exemplary service and we would highly recommend his team.
Rod Long
Thankful for Dean and his team as they helped us through the sale process. Appreciated his advice and expertise in 'coaching' us through the legal requirements, as we were unfamiliar with the Canadian property logistics being from another country. Dean was at all times professional and timely in communication and action, and we have no hesitation in recommending him to assist others through the process.
James Ogilvie
Dean and his team were an amazing help with our Whistler property. Dean helped us navigate the challenging market to sell our condo and upgrade to a townhouse. He was patient, helpful, and professional throughout the whole time. Highly recommended for any local real estate needs!
Randy Wall
We first met Dean about 10 years ago and he acted for us when we purchased our Whistler condo at that time. He was great. Since then he kept in regular contact and shared his market knowledge and expertise which made our decision to engage him again when we decided to sell very easy. Despite the challenges of the COVID situation, he and his team handled everything very professionally. His assistant Jennifer was awesome and made the process easy for us as well. Many thanks!
Rebecca Craig
We have had the pleasure of working with Dean Linnell on many home projects. Our staging company Whistler Lifestyle Design have staged countless homes for Dean and his Real Estate Team. His client's homes sell quickly and for top dollar. It's no wonder he is consistently one of Whistler top Realtors. He is extremely professional and always gets the job done! We look forward to working with Dean on many more homes!
Adam Nowlan
Dean and his assistant Jennifer are wonderful, responsive professionals. This is my second real estate transaction with Dean at the helm. His recommendations for mortgage broker and real estate attorney have been wonderful too. Dean treats every deal as if it's a multi-million dollar transaction, even when it's not. He's been very responsive over many years. My highest recommendation.
Lolita C.
Just completed another real estate purchase using Dean Linnell from Whistler Real Estate. Everything went smoothly. Dean and his team are quick to reply and reliable. At no time did we feel pressure to buy or to change our offer. It's our 2nd time using his services, and once again we are very satisfied. Highly recommended!
Cory and Wes Pendergrass
It has been a very knowledgeable experience viewing Dean's weekly emails of the Whistler market. When it became time for me to list my property Dean and his assistant, Jennifer executed a seamless transition from listing to sale.
Bernadette Woit
Dean and his team (shout out to Jennifer) have always been professional, quick to respond to me and the real estate market. Dean knows where it's at! Thanks Dean and Jennifer for selling my unit so fast and for the right price!
John Cooke
It was a great pleasure to work with Dean and his listing manager Jennifer in selling our Whistler townhome. We also worked with Dean to look for a new place. We enjoyed Dean's professionalism, local expertise and his non-pressure approach. Jennifer was excellent with all the admin, keeping us informed, checking on showings, etc. Thanks Dean and Jennifer so much on marketing and selling our place.
