Buying
A first home, a new start in Greater Vancouver, a home to rent out, or a move up: an in-depth look at your needs, based on your lifestyle, stage of life and options.
Your worries, answered
I don't know what kind of home I need.
I help you separate needs from wants, by your lifestyle and your work. Buying is a balance of priorities and wants.
Will I get approved for a mortgage?
I pre-screen your purchasing power with a short set of questions, then connect you with a mortgage specialist for pre-approval.
I'm buying from outside Canada.
I explain the process, the restrictions and the foreign buyer tax, and refer you to bankers and an immigration lawyer when you need them.
How it works
A needs interview, and a written needs checklist you keep.
I compare current listings with recent sales to estimate a home's true value.
We build the offer on your interest score, from 1 to 10.
Daily new-listing and sales updates, so you see the trend for yourself.

Accent: the brand colour — buttons, links and highlights use your pick as-is.
Background: the hue washed over the page's backgrounds. Only its hue (and a little saturation) is used — the lightness stays on the Light/Dark archetype so text keeps its contrast (WCAG) — so backgrounds take on your colour's tone, not the exact swatch (e.g. a cream tint on Dark gives a cream-toned dark).
