Every kind of buyer, one standard of care
Townhomes and condos in Sardis, Garrison and Promontory. I explain every step, every cost and every clause, and I never rush you.
Out of room? I know the streets near the good schools, the parks and the Vedder trails, and which subdivisions hold their value.
Above a million, homes get unique and comparables get scarce. Private showings, real numbers and calm, firm negotiation.
Wells, septic, the ALR, flood maps and outbuildings. I grew up on acreage, so I know what to check before your subjects come off.

Questions people ask
How much do I need for a down payment in Chilliwack?
In Canada the minimum is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above that, up to $1.5 million. Homes over that need 20%. Your mortgage broker will confirm what applies to you.
What closing costs should I budget for?
Plan for property transfer tax (first time buyers may qualify for an exemption), legal fees, a home inspection, title insurance and adjustments for property taxes. I will walk you through an estimate for your price range.
Should I buy a home on leased land?
Leasehold homes can be good value, but lenders, monthly fees and resale work differently. I will explain the lease terms on any home you look at so you can decide with clear eyes.
How quickly do you send new listings?
The same day they come on the market. You can also ask for recent sold prices in any neighbourhood.
Do you help buyers looking at acreages or luxury homes?
Yes, a big part of my business is higher priced homes and acreages. See Acreage and Luxury for what I check and how I negotiate.
