There is no one-size-fits-all way to sell a home. Price, presentation, timing and negotiation all matter, and each decision should fit the property and the people behind it.

My role is to give you a clear picture of the market, a practical strategy, and direct guidance from start to finish.

IN THEIR WORDS

Trust is earned one move at a time.

“He sold our place in a week and over asking price! He was super easy and professional to work with.”

Laurel B.

“After six months on the market with another high-profile Realtor, and not one offer, you sold our home in two weeks.”

Albert

“After months of frustration with another realtor we were very happy with the care and experience that we received.”

Andy and Bety

SELLER QUESTIONS

Questions worth asking before you list.

The right answer depends on your home and your timing. Here are a few questions I hear often from Richmond and Greater Vancouver sellers.

See More Questions

How do I know what my home is really worth?

Recent comparable sales, current competition, condition and buyer response all play a part. I’ll look at how your home would compete in today’s market, beyond an online estimate or BC Assessment.

Do I need to renovate before selling?

Usually, major renovations are unnecessary. We’ll identify the preparation most likely to help, from decluttering and presentation to selective repairs, before you spend money.

Should I sell first or buy first?

It depends on your finances, the homes available and your comfort with timing. We can compare both paths and plan for the conditions that matter to you.

What if my home did not sell the first time?

We’ll review the pricing, presentation, marketing and feedback, then decide what should change before relaunching.
