Congratulations Michelle and Mason! Thank you @cherylbatke for your hard work getting the financing organized so that our offer stood out amongst the others.... This one was a bit of a roller coaster ride but we worked as a great team to get the job done. Although I selfishly wish you were closer, I can't wait to watch your family grow into this beautiful home. Beyond happy for you @michelle.drummondd @mason.drummond72 #realestate #buyersagent #listingagent #multipleoffers #newhome #homesweethome #congratulations #bcrealestate #realtorlife #firsttimebuyers

In a Market So Insane - How do you know what to Offer Trying to buy a home in a sellers market can be exhausting for buyers (and their realtors haha). The main objective in a sellers market, when working with a buyer, is - how do we create an offer that protects our buyers, but still gives them a competitive shot at getting their offer accepted.... The key here is being prepared. In a balanced/normal market, you would write an offer and, if accepted, you would have maybe 5-8 business days to do your research about the property and arrange for financing. In our current market conditions we usually don't have that 'privilege'. Our due diligence has to be done BEFORE the offer is sent, including our investigation about the home. This way the offer is submitted with the 'to do' list already ticked off and approved, making your chances of bailing on the property much less, and the offer much stronger. *You want the least amount of subjects possible and your financing needs to be done ahead of time!* HOW do you pick a price? Like usual, we look up comparable properties to the 'subject' listing, which have sold recently and have similar features. Then I like to find out how many offers we are competing with. THEN this info is passed along to the buyer(s) who now knows approximate market value, and how much competition there will. Our job is to provide our clients with information and advice so that THEY can make an educated decision. In Multiple Offers you most of the time only get one shot at it, so it's important to keep that in mind that you likely won't have a chance in this circumstance to negotiate. I hope you gained some insight on what it's like to buy a home (and represent a buyer) in a Seller's Market! #realestate #buyersagent #listingagent #multipleoffers #newhome #homesweethome #realestateadvice #langleyrealestate #realtorlife

Market Update For March 2021 In March, the FVREB processed 3,329 residential and commercial sales on its Multiple Listing Service, an increase of 131 per cent compared to March 2020 and 18 per cent more than were processed in February. The previous record of 3,006 sales was set in March of 2016.... Larry Anderson, President of the Board, said of this month’s statistics, This market is uncharted territory for Fraser Valley real estate. The surprising strength of the economy, the influence of the pandemic and a lack of inventory of all property types has created unprecedented demand for housing in our region. Across Fraser Valley, in March, the average number of days to sell a single-family detached home was 15 A townhome was 14 days. Apartments took, on average, 31 days to sell. #realestate #fraservalley #marketupdate #sellersmarket #stats

I remember in my first year of real estate, feeling so overwhelmed. I remember pulling up to the gas station with tears in my eyes because I didn't know if my bank card would be denied.. and if I would even be able make it to the office that day. Being a realtor involves a lot of costs and if you aren't busy right away, it is NOT a fun experience. Trust me.... After a LOT of learning, courses, risk taking, and hard*** work - In year 2 of owning and operating my business (not on a team) - I'm so proud to receive this from my brokerage. This certificate recognizes agents whose sales were in the top 20% of agents in our office. #wow Thank you to my clients, mentors, friends, and family for your business, refferals and support. #greatful Now does it stay on my desk.. or wall.. or filing cabinet #hustling #businessbuilding #neverstopgrowing #dreambig #alwaysimproving #rlpwolstencroft #bragingbutdontcare!

2020 was an insane year, but one great thing we all learned is that, damn are we ever adaptable Professionally, my business grew exponentially - over doubling my amount of deals closed from the previous year, and selling over 7 million dollars of real estate! I'm so happy to have met such amazing clients, which many have turned into great friends.... I have learned so much, particularly in using technology and finding new methods of helping/supporting my clients virtually. Personally, Matt and I purchased and renovated a condo - moving closer to friends, family and work We grew even closer as a couple throughout the process which not a lot of people can say. I have ended 2020 with slight social withdrawls, but SO full of gratitude. Thank you to my friends family and clients for your support! I could not appreciate you enough. And also a huge thank you to my awesome goofy, husband for dealing with my craziness and offering so much support. Sending you all lots of love Cheers to hopefully being able to give hugs again soon AND to crushing our goals in 2021

What a Great way to end the year! Congrats to my buyers for locking down this amazing condo in such a competitive market Happy New Year ... #sold #surrey #fraservalleyrealtor #listingagent #buyersagent #realtorsofinstagram #happynewyear #congrats #

I had the pleasure of helping my Sister and Brother in law sell their home and upgrade to a townhouse. The Sellers of their purchase fell in love with my nephew (I mean, how could you not?) This is a video of him opening his 'Welcome Home' Gift that the previous owners were nice enough to leave for him ... #areyoukiddingme?

Lest we forget #remembranceday

Sold in Abbotsford! This one was such an amazing story. We were in multiple offers, which means my buyers offer was competing with two other offers on the property. With a lot of preparation and a bit of strategy they picked our offer! It also helped that the sellers loved my clients sweet little son ... As a buyer in this market, you want to make sure you have your ducks in a row so when you find the right property, you can make a quick decision. This story is a prime example! I'm so happy for this amazing family and can't wait to see them transform their new home Congrats S & G #sold #abbotsford #buyersagent #fraservalleyrealtor #doublecargarage #congratulations #newhome #packingtime
