  • Daily

    New listings in your inbox

    I set up a search on the MLS® for exactly what you want. New matches are emailed to you every day, so you never miss a good one.

  • Private showings

    We tour homes on your schedule, evenings and weekends included. I also point out the things the listing photos leave out.

  • Honest pricing advice

    Before every offer I go through recent sales nearby, so you know what the home is really worth and when to walk away.

  • Strong negotiation

    Price is only part of it. I negotiate subjects, deposit, dates and what stays with the home, to protect you and your budget.

  • Paperwork you understand

    Strata minutes, depreciation reports, Form B and disclosures. We go through them together, so I can flag anything that matters.

  • People you can trust

    Introductions to mortgage brokers, inspectors, lawyers and notaries I know well, so every step stays on schedule.

Questions

Questions about buying a home.

Still have a question? Book a free call 778 900 1010

Do I have to pay you to help me buy?

Usually not directly. In most Metro Vancouver sales the buyer's agent is paid out of the seller's side of the deal. We'll go over how it works for your purchase, in writing, before we start.

Should I get pre-approved before buying a home?

Yes. It tells you your real budget and makes your offer stronger. I can introduce you to mortgage brokers I trust.

How do the daily listing emails work?

After our first call I set up a saved search on the MLS® with your areas, budget and must-haves. New listings and price changes that match are emailed to you automatically every day. You can still change or pause it at any time.

Can you show me homes listed by other agents?

Yes. I can book showings for almost any home on the MLS®, whoever the listing agent is. If you see something online, send it to me and I'll set up a time.

What happens after my offer is accepted?

Most offers have subjects, such as financing, an inspection and a review of the strata documents. We work through them together before the deadline, then remove them in writing. After that the sale is firm and your lawyer or notary handles completion.

What is the home buyer rescission period?

In BC, most residential purchases come with a three business day rescission period after your offer is accepted. If you back out in that time, you pay a fee of 0.25% of the purchase price. Before you sign, I will explain how it applies to your home.

How much deposit do I need when buying a home?

Often around 5% of the price, paid once your subjects are removed and held in trust. It also counts toward your down payment. The amount can be negotiated, and I'll tell you what is normal for the home you are buying.

Are there programs for first-time buyers?

Yes. In BC you may not pay property transfer tax on a home up to $835,000, and federal programs like the First Home Savings Account and the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan can help with your down payment. The rules change, so we'll check what applies to you.
