I read your brief myself.
No assistant, no auto-responder. If your message lands during office hours you'll usually see a reply that afternoon — outside hours, by the next morning.
Most relationships start with a 30-minute call. No pitch — a clear read on what's quietly available, what's worth waiting for, and whether now is the right time for you.
A six-question form. Takes about ninety seconds. Best if you're still figuring out what you're after — answers help me come prepared.
Pick up the phone. If I'm with a client I'll text you back inside an hour and we'll find a time that works.
If you'd rather text, I'm @vancouverdwelling everywhere. Quick questions, voice notes, screenshots from another agent — all welcome.
None of these are required and I don't share your answers with anyone. They just save us both a discovery call.
Here's exactly how the first 48 hours go after you submit the form, so there are no surprises.
No assistant, no auto-responder. If your message lands during office hours you'll usually see a reply that afternoon — outside hours, by the next morning.
Suggested call slots, attached to a couple of presales or assignments worth talking about given what you described. You pick a time or push back.
What's available, what's coming, what to ignore. You leave with a written follow-up — even if it ends with "wait six months." No obligation, no follow-up sequence.
If your question isn't here, send it through the form — I read every message and reply personally.
No — and most people I meet aren't. A first conversation usually happens 6 to 18 months before a purchase. The best time to start is when you're trying to figure out whether, not which.
No. As a licensed REALTOR® I'm compensated by the developer or seller at closing — never by you, the buyer. The first call, and every call until we decide to write an offer, is free.
Yes, gladly. About a third of the clients I work with are buying their first home. The presale market in particular suits first-time buyers — long deposit timelines, often a 24-month window to save, and no competing offers on launch day.
I'll walk you through deposit structures, assignment clauses, GST, the new BC speculation tax, and what to ask the developer's sales centre. Bring a list.
Both. About a third of my book is local investors and out-of-province buyers. I'll be candid about which projects make sense as rentals vs. owner-occupiers, what the realistic hold period looks like, and where assignment-clause restrictions will or won't matter to you.
Of course. After a short call I'm happy to meet at a sales centre you're interested in, my office downtown, or somewhere in between. For out-of-town clients we usually keep it on Zoom until you're in town for a viewing weekend.
