So many people these days are living in fear. Fear that the Vancouver RE market is in a bubble, fear that the stock market is going to crash, fear of a recession or depression. They are permanently frozen on the sidelines pointing the finger and blaming everyone but themselves for their lack of success.

If you want any success in life you need to do 2 keys things:

1. Focus on what you hav ...

Most good quality homes in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland are in multiple offer situations these days. In this blog I will explain how the multiple offer process works and some strategies to help improve your chances.

Endless mortgag ...

Been awhile since I posted a video tour of one of my listings. This is an exterior video of a home I just listed in the highly desirable Cedar Cottage area of Mt Pleasant. The special thing about this home is that it’s zoned RT-5. This allows for a legal duplex as well as an infill Stratified Coach house. This Coach house should not be confused with a laneway home.
