Your home is personal.
Your real estate experience should be, too.

I help people buy and sell homes across Vancouver, Richmond, and the Lower Mainland. Whether you’re finding more space, simplifying your life, or moving somewhere new, I’ll start by understanding what matters to you.

My approach is straightforward: research carefully, explain your options clearly, and follow through on the details. You’ll have someone to ask, a plan to work from, and space to make your own decisions.

01

Start with what matters to you

Your priorities, your timing, and your budget. Whether it’s your first home or your next one, we’ll make a plan around your goals.

02

Explore, compare, and look closer

Consider homes and neighbourhoods, ask questions, and identify the documents and professional advice you need before deciding.

03

Understand your offer and next steps

Review price, conditions, and key dates with attentive guidance, from preparing an offer through completion.

SELLING YOUR HOME

A clear plan.
Care at every stage.

01

Start with your goals and the market

Your timing, your priorities, and your next move. We’ll review comparable properties and local market activity to discuss a pricing approach.

02

Prepare your home to stand out

We’ll identify practical presentation improvements and plan photography, listing details, and showings around your home’s strengths.

03

Review offers with care

Look beyond the price to conditions, timing, and other terms. I’ll help you consider your options and stay on top of key dates through completion.

THE HOME JOURNAL

A little knowledge.
More perspective.

Buyer guides, seller tips, real estate news, and a place to keep up with the market.

Buyer guide01

Buying a home: start with what matters

Explore your budget, discover what matters most to you, and feel prepared for your next move.

Read the guide +

Think about your everyday life

Consider your commute, space, storage, and what you want nearby. Separate your must-haves from your nice-to-haves so you can compare homes with purpose.

Understand your whole budget

Speak with a mortgage professional about what you can comfortably afford. Plan for closing costs and ongoing expenses alongside your down payment, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and strata fees where applicable.

Look beyond the viewing

Ask about the home’s condition, available documents, and any restrictions that could affect your plans. Discuss appropriate conditions and timelines with your agent and seek qualified professional advice when needed. A viewing does not replace a professional inspection or careful document review.

Seller guide02

Thinking of selling? Start with a plan

Your timeline, your priorities, and your property all shape the right approach to bringing your home to market.

Read the guide +

Start with your next chapter

Consider when you would like to move and what needs to happen before then. Share your priorities early so your sale plan can account for the practical details of your move.

Put pricing in context

An asking price should be informed by relevant comparable sales, competing listings, your home’s condition, and current market activity. Active listing prices alone do not tell you what buyers will ultimately pay. Talk through the evidence and the trade-offs with your agent.

Gather the details early

Collect information about upgrades, repairs, warranties, and any documents relevant to your property. Discuss disclosures and the documents needed for your sale with your agent, and obtain qualified professional advice where appropriate.

Listing preparation03

Before the photos: preparing your home for sale

Thoughtful presentation starts with simple details that help buyers understand and appreciate your space.

Read the guide +

Make the space easy to see

Declutter surfaces, organize storage, and give each room a clear purpose. A clean, well-lit space helps buyers focus on the home itself.

Choose improvements with care

Address small maintenance items and discuss larger projects before committing to them. Improvements cost money, and not every project will increase your sale proceeds. Prioritize based on your home’s condition, budget, and timing.

Prepare for photography and showings

Plan access, put away valuables and personal documents, and discuss arrangements for pets. Work with your agent to present the home accurately and agree on a showing schedule that works for you.
