Buying a Home in Vancouver
I help you find a home that fits the way you live and make sense of the details before you decide. I’ve worked in Vancouver real estate since 2002, helping buyers explore condos, townhouses, character homes and detached properties.
Start with how you want to live
We’ll talk about your budget, timing and the routines that shape your day. That might mean walking to the shops in Kitsilano, finding a quieter street on Vancouver’s Westside or choosing a layout that gives you room to grow.
Find and compare homes
As your Vancouver buyer’s agent, I’ll help you narrow the search and compare asking prices, recent sales, layouts, light and upkeep. We can use those comparisons to decide which homes are worth a closer look.
Look closely before committing
Depending on the property, we’ll identify which strata documents, building conditions, zoning questions, insurance considerations and local climate risks warrant a closer look. I can help you identify what to ask your inspector, insurer or other qualified adviser.
Make an offer and plan the handover
We’ll discuss price and terms, prepare the offer and work through negotiations. I’ll help you keep track of subjects, deposit arrangements, closing and possession dates, working alongside your lender and legal adviser as needed.
