Thanks Bob McVicar you found us the perfect spot and surrounded us with great neighbours and great food !! -Paul M. & Kathleen S.
Investing from out of the region always brings certain challenges, but Bob was instrumental in minimizing these complications. When I visited Saint John in August, he took me to see all of the properties on my list as well as some others that I hadn’t even known were for sale. I also got to experience the charm of Uptown firsthand as he gave me a tour of the neighborhood that lasted the better part of an afternoon.
This was my first time purchasing an investment property and I wanted to make sure that I got it right. Bob’s resourcefulness and insight helped me navigate a real estate market that I was relatively unfamiliar with; I’m very grateful that he was a part of my team. -Max K.
Bob McVicar may not be much to look at but he did a a great job selling us this condo on the spot. Great follow up. I have no problem recommending Bob to anyone. -Michael M.
Thanks Bob for helping us through the process of buying this home. You made it as smooth as we could hope for. -Jim V.
We did our pre-closing inspection on our house this afternoon…we get the keys tomorrow! Thanks again to our realtor, Bob McVicar! -Wendy M.
Bob spent an entire day with us when we were here for 24 hours, looking for a place to live three years ago. He listened to our specs and scheduled units that were right on! His knowledge of the Uptown area in particular, and the entire surroundings, is unsurpassed. It’s almost like a history lesson spending the day touring houses with Bob. He is very discrete and professional, important points in this business. There is also likely no situation that he hasn’t encountered in his real estate career and his clients always benefit from that breadth of knowledge. He’s a Five Star real estate professional all the way! -Gina C.
Bob has offered my wife Anne and myself five star real estate service from the time that we first met him nearly three years ago to the present moment. He is highly knowledgeable, hard-working and a true expert in his field. -Gary D.
Bob was an excellent real estate agent. He was honest, and really understood the particular dynamics of my situation. My confidence in him never wavered. Bob knew the market better than anyone, and was the best at lining up the right Buyer with the right Seller. I would absolutely recommend Bob to others. -Jonah R.
Bob did a great job for us. He spent a lot of time figuring out who we were and what we really wanted and we are really happy with the home he found for us. He also helped us in countless ways after we moved in. I would use his services again and am sure that everyone who will, will be satisfied. -Anne D.
Bob I have to say, you have been an absolute pleasure to work with! Thank you for providing such great service. -Dan
Bob provides an exceptional standard of real estate service – his professionalism, expertise and tireless effort was evident every step of the way. Having Bob in my corner was very reassuring as he helped me navigate many unexpected twists and turns as well as a difficult selling market. I would not hesitate to recommend Bob to anyone looking for the best in real estate service.
I have known Mr. McVicar for a number of years as a reputable real estate agent. I decided post
covid to list my residence. Without hesitation, I called Bob and set up a meeting. The
professionalism was immediately evident. He contacted and marketed my house to the
appropriate demographic and buyers. He guided me through the process resulting in a quick
and lucrative sale of the house. I would definitely recommend Bob to those looking to sell and
purchase real estate in souther NB. - Glen M.
Very happy to provide a reference for Bob McVicar's real estate services. We have used Bob for several transactions and have always been fully satisfied that he was our best choice for an agent. He has a particularly keen understanding and deep history of the uniqueness of the Uptown Saint John historic district. No one understands the Saint John city core more than McVicar and he knows how to get deals done. - Jeff McAloon
I wholeheartedly recommend Bob McVicar to anyone buying or selling property in Saint John and beyond. Over the years, Bob has represented me on three very different transactions—a large historic church in the city’s core, a fully renovated older home, and a modern A-frame on the river—and each time he brought the same unmatched enthusiasm, professionalism, and market expertise. The church sale stands out in particular. It required navigating two congregational meetings with over 50 attendees, each with strong and often conflicting opinions. Bob handled every question with straightforward honesty, delivered with genuine compassion and empathy, keeping the process moving forward while ensuring everyone felt heard. His deep knowledge of the local market allowed both buyers and sellers to achieve their goals, turning what could have been a tense situation into a smooth, successful closing. Whether dealing with heritage properties, renovated gems, or unique waterfront homes, Bob approaches every listing with care, strategy, and a clear commitment to results. He’s not just a realtor—he’s a trusted advisor who truly understands that real estate is about people, not just properties. You won’t find anyone more dedicated or capable. - Ken A.
I have known Bob for 15 years both professionally and personally. He has helped me sell my properties and has even worked as a property manager for me. Amongst his many attributes he is professional, informed, honest and very reasonable to deal with. He knows the ins and outs of real estate better than any other agent I have worked with in past. It is a pleasure to do business with him, and I always know I will be treated fairly and with respect. I would and do recommend Bob as an agent to everyone and you would be fortunate to have the privilege of working with him. -Dr Laurel H.
We have known and done business with Bob McVicar for over 30 years and can vouch for his integrity and trustworthiness in all real estate matters. Bob and his grandson Jake are our preferred professional realtors, having both listed properties on our behalf and acted as our agents when purchasing. As a result of their expertise in the Saint John market and coupled with their superior knowledge of the urban and central area, we have also directed many friends and family their way. We have yet to hear of an unhappy result and so it is without reservation that we would heartily recommend Bob and Jake McVicar as listing agents. -Tom and Lisa G.
Bob was our obvious first choice for listing and selling our unique heritage home in Saint John. He has an unparalleled market knowledge and was able to give us practical advice from pre-listing to closing. His marketing materials showcased the home so it stood above comparators on the market. Bob was responsive and insightful when negotiating the deal with our purchaser. I would certainly recommend him to others. - O'Kane
Bob McVicar has been successfully representing me in both buying or selling residential and commercial real estate assets over the past twenty years. In each occasion his results met or exceeded market conditions largely due to his negotiation skills, understanding of the market and work ethic. Bob’s marketing strategies are reflective of what is needed to attract qualified buyers, while his experience in business, real estate and the community has resulted in his clients success. - Peter A
Bob’s deep knowledge of the local market and decades of experience were evident from day one. He brought a clear plan, exceptional marketing, and professional photography that led to our home selling in five days for above asking. He then guided us patiently through purchasing, was always responsive, and used his strong negotiation skills to help us secure the right home at the right price. We trusted him completely and recommend him without hesitation. - Nicole P and Phil H
Bob McVicar of Sutton Realty has been instrumental in my personal and professional real estate projects. From buying my first home to handling multiple property purchases and sales with precision, Bob has gone above and beyond. His deep understanding of local pricing and market trends in Saint John, NB and surrounding area has consistently produced strong results for me and many others. Bob’s marketing and social media acumen, combined with a capable office team, make him a standout professional in the region. I’m currently working with him on a substantial uptown townhouse project, and will be collaborating on other real estate ventures in the future. - Adam P
Bob has guided me through multiple real estate transactions over five years, both personally and for clients, including purchasing my home in Saint John while I was still living in Vancouver. His steady, intelligent approach made complex deals feel seamless. He has a rare ability to read both people and properties, and he understands how heritage and modernization can work together to strengthen the future of the city. The ongoing support has never stopped, from connecting me with trades and community to advising on improvements that protect both value and long-term vision. I trust his judgment completely and would recommend him without hesitation. -Anna J
My wife and I (and most recently daughter) have relied on Bob’s real estate acumen for a number of transactions over the past 10 years. We are always impressed with his market knowledge, professionalism and ethical approach. In particular, Bob’s genuine passion to serve his client’s best interests and his innate problem solving skills, have served us very well when we run into the inevitable challenges that arise in almost every deal. - Steve & Coleen C
Bob McVicar provides excellent real estate services. He is likely the most experienced individual servicing both sellers and buyers interested in historic properties here in Saint John. He represented me in the sale of my late mother’s home last year (not an uptown historic property), and delivered results exactly as promised. When listing my late mother’s home, I asked Bob how much the property would likely sell for, he mentioned what I thought was a very high amount for the property in question. It sold for even more than the amount he predicted. Bob is very experienced in valuing investment and related properties. There is no substitute for experience and Bob has this in spades. - Susan F
I have known Bob McVicar for 20 years and have worked with him on many projects and initiatives over the years. In addition, Bob served my family well when we hired him to sell our family home. Bob’s extensive knowledge of the real estate industry and regional economics aids in his success, and the success of his clients. Bob’s contributions to the business community are numerous. He serves and has served on the boards of multiple Saint John organizations, in leadership capacities. Bob also pays a large role in the philanthropic fabric of Saint John with his numerous efforts and contributions. I highly recommend Bob McVicar and know that he will be a tremendous asset to any organization that utilizes his services. - David D
I chose Bob because of his many years as a businessman/owner. It was also important for me to have someone who understood homes, about construction/renovation. This made him unique in the local area where so many agents seem more concerned with how their hair looks and their fancy cars. Bob is a person who has the ability to truly analyze the value of a home. I was selling a very unique family homestead with a lot of emotions attached and Bob helped me trust the pricing and handled the sale with grace and professionalism. The marketing was perfect, excellent photos and high quality drone and video work. These were things I had just not seen before. I could see the effort that Bob was putting into it and the hard work paid off…it didn’t take long for the right buyer to come with a solid offer. Simply put, Bob is a cut above the rest. - Dennis O
I have known Bob for more than 30 years. After retiring from a business career (including president of Saint John Board of Trade) and a second career in real estate my wife and I have used Bob as a property manager and as an agent for 2 home sales. He has repeatedly proven his intimate knowledge of the local and national real estate market, his ethical approach to the industry and his tireless resolve to get a difficult job done. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Bob and his team for any real estate transaction. - Gary S
