SOLD! This 2 year old townhome in perfect location Gabriola Park in Willoughby Heights is a great complex located close to literally everything. This beautiful 3 bedroom townhome offers quartz counter, stainless steel appliances plus a two car garage with room for storage. ... The townhouse market is very competitive, so we had to beat out other buyers in multiple offers to get this home. One thing to always keep in mind is, it's not always about price. It's a combination of dates, terms and price. Sometimes dates or terms can be more important to a seller or a buyer. So having a professional on your side that can uncover the other parties needs is key in such a competitive market!

"How do I Buy a Home in my 20's?" I get this question often from friends and clients. If you think this is impossible...... or unaffordable... and just don't know where to get started.. Then creating a plan will make it possible and give you your next steps. I've personally done it, and I have helped multiple other clients get into the market this year for the first time! The most important question is: "Where do I start?" If you want to get into the market for first time... Then making a plan and a budget will be a game changer. A common mistake people do when trying to save up for their downpayment is cutting up and canceling their credit cards... This is a mistake. Lenders (the banks) want to see you have and use credit, and canceling your credit card can actually negatively impact your credit score... Buying a home in your 20's will take some hard work.. But if your willing to a make plan for yourself then DM me "FIRST HOME" and I'll send you my step-by-step guide to get you started! #realestate #firstimebuyer #howto #firsthome #vancouver #vancouverrealestate #mapleridge #portmoody #langley #coquitlam #home #buyrealestate See more

New Listing in Port Moody! 2 bedroom 3 bathroom 940 sqft ... $679,000 https://youtu.be/lpU8puxIS0c

Helping people find the perfect home is one of my favorite parts about what I do, but it's even better when its with such good friends like Arek Zabierek & Brian Zabierek This was a interesting one! We got prepared and had everything lined up. Which was good because not only did we have to deal with unrealistic sellers, issues with strata's, but also navigate a pandemic but I secured them anunder market value deal on an almost new building with awesome amenities, clubhouse... with gym, pool table, roof top patio, ping pong tables and great outdoor courtyard space! We had to figure out issues with strata insurance which delayed the deal, but at the end of the day we made sure their investment would be safe! You have to congratulate these two, two properties at the age of 22!

Update to the Tenancy Rules: A landlord can now issue a Notice to End Tenancy for any reason (other than unpaid or late payment rent). Landlords with existing orders for eviction can take them to the courts beginning July 2, 2020, for enforcement and can enforce a writ order effective immediately.... Landlords can enter a rental suite with 24-hour notice and do not need the tenant’s consent. They are expected to follow health guidelines like physical distancing, cleaning and wearing masks when appropriate. The change also allows for personal service of documents to resume. https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2020MAH0034-001164

Do you think this will be enough? Hopefully we will see some more options for strata’s

This wasn't your typical sale! I started working with these clients over a year ago. At first it was to find them a new home, which was an adventure in itself. This sale was their old home, which I helped guide what upgrades to do and the ones that weren't worth it. So they slowly but surely did the reno's and then right as they where getting ready to go to market at the end of March, as you all know everything changed! We adapted quickly to our new reality and taught... the clients how to use digital signatures, then doing a contact-less key drop off so I could get my team in do do the marketing! Doing virtual walk through videos and an abundance of high quality photo's. Once the property hit the market he conducted virtual showings and physically distance showings (all parties had to sign health questionnaire). We quickly had an accepted offer, but fell apart due to the buyer's financing but we kept our marketing going and shortly after the deal falling apart we had multiple offers and this time it stuck! If you thinking of selling in today's market, lets chat! I'll show you how we can use this market to your advantage Austin Towne C. 778 834 0896 www.AustinTowne.com #realestate #remax #realtorlife #mapleridge #vancouver #business #marketing #coquitlam #portmoody #vancouverrealestate #dreamhome #marketing #realestate #townerealestate #firsttimebuyers #pittmeadows #langley #newwest #sales #housegoals #hustle #sold #developments #newconstruction #presales #fraservalley #vancouverpresales #2020 @ Surrey, British Columbia

Talk about a unique property! 44390 Bayview Road is SOLD The client & I had been looking for about a year to find the perfect property on or off the market. As we narrowed the criteria down to a specific area and zoning, I tracked owners, cold calls etc. Found a few good potential ones but then this one hit the market, we knew it was the one.... This property is 13 acres over looking Harrison River but also minutes away from Lake Errock. The home was totally renovated, upgraded electrical & back up generator. This property was offered at $1,500,000 but I negotiated hard for my clients and secured them a great price (plus I got them to included an excavator!) The client has some big plans for the property, which I’m so excited to be a part of! It took a lot of due diligence to make sure everything would work, so big shout out to Stave River Contracting for helping out on short notice! #sold #remax #acreage #view #housegoals #vancouver #canada #realtor #harrison #lakeerrock #mapleridge #langley #realestate #marketing #huslte #morefromsaletosold #property #lifeofarealtor #waterview See more
