JUST SOLD! I’ve sold it before, and it’s a gem!

May 26th, 2021
Congratulations to clients A & B on the recent sale of their lovely condo. I sold this condo to A & B several years ago; it proved an excellent investment as the value increased while their child was living in the condo while attending UBC, just a quick bus ride away. And the new owners have the same plan for their child. Those new buyers can't go wrong with this gorgeous Jr. 1-bdrm suite in ...

These are the realities of supply and demand

May 18th, 2021
Limited land. Limited interest in increasing housing density. Good employment. Generous residency / immigration policies. Top ten of the most desirable places to live, in the world. Metro Vancouver real estate is in demand, and I don't see that changing. What can change, however, is the delicate supply-demand balance. If the market is in balance, there's sufficient supply to meet demand. As a ...

Always honoured to be your “Realtor for life”

Many thanks to client Jane S. for her recent testimonial. Knowing that I've helped my clients move forward with their lives and their dreams, well, just makes my day.  "After trying a few realtors, I found Robert and have depended on him ever since for real estate advice and service for nearly a decade now. What I appreciate most about Robert is that he really works in my best interest. He i ...

With real estate too, fortune favours the prepared

After the initial pandemic shock last spring, demand for single-family homes in particular quickly grew over the summer and fall. The origin of this demand was more emotional rather than financial but was ai ...

To increase your chances of a good inspection - and ...
