It all depends on your goals and how you want to achieve them. Once we figure this out, we will craft a strategy to accomplish these goals in the most efficient way possible
Depending on the home, there are a number of things you can do to get your home ready for the market. I wrote a book that covers all of these points and I am more than happy to share this with you!
The province of BC has the lowest commission rates in Canada, if not the continent! Typically you see 5% – 6% flat commission fees, shared by both the buying and selling agents. In BC, it is typically 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% – 3.5% on the balance, split between both realtors. Remember though, you get what you pay for and the more you try to negotiate off of the commission price, the types of marketing platforms that are offered by the agent, may be excluded.
These brokerages typically charge a low fee as their business is aimed at acquiring buyers in the area to find different homes to purchase so they can get their full standard commission. When they put your home on the market, typically they will take photos themselves and put your home up on the MLS. That is it! Some of these companies will require you, the sellers, to conduct all your own private showings and pay for any additional marketing that you may want to invest in. They will also split that small fee with the buying agent, but because the commission rate is so low, most agents will skip those homes all together and avoid showing them to their clients in favour of homes that pay standard commission, thus getting less eyes on your property. Less eyes leads to more time on the market and a lower sale price generated for you.
Itโs always good to approach a real estate agent weeks, if not, months before you decide to sell. This will enable the agent to really inform you about market trends, โTo-Doโ lists prior to selling, and any other factors that may benefit your home achieving the highest sale price.

Congrats to my buyers for the purchase of their new investment property! We took advantage of a slower market as buyers have been waiting on the sidelines to see what the next Bank of Canada announcement would bring. Because of this, we were able to aggressively negotiate and were rewarded with an amazing price for their brand new half duplex!! Thank you for trusting me throughout this process as buying a new home from a developer, can be very difficult if you don`t know what you`re doing. Luckily, I was able to get all the pertinent things needed for us to move forward in a short period of time. Congratulations to you both once again!

It`s been a hell of a last 3 months...
๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ค
As most of you already know, I`ve had health issues stemming from the blood disorder that I`ve carried all my life, along with an autoimmune disease which seems to be greatly impacting this disorder. Though age has also been a factor, injuries that have affected my life this immensely, never came to light as intensely as it has these last few years. From almost dying due to internal bleeding last year, to almost losing an arm this year... Life just seems to want to kick me in the ass, especially while I`m down.
๐ฉ๐คฌ
With all of that being said, I am a very, very lucky guy! I would just like to thank everyone out there who has shown me unbelievable support, helping out and pitching in to assist me and my family, wherever and whenever possible. Even with the paralyzation of one of my dogs... You guys were there, and I will never forget that. If it wasn`t for all of you, things would have been more difficult to carry through in a positive manner, enabling me to continue doing deals from a hospital bed, saving shelter dogs while in recovery, and filming content to keep my business running... None of this would`ve been possible without all of your help during this time. My wife, especially, has also been the most amazing human being... Taking on a lot more than she signed up for, and for that I love her dearly.
๐ถ๐
With things now on the mend, I`m looking forward to getting back to normal life and moving forward with more caution and more calculated steps, as I navigate through these ailments. Thank you all once again. You don`t know how much you all mean to me! I`m truly blessed to be surrounded by people who really care, for which I am grateful.

Rarely do you get a chance to see some AMAZING properties that absolutely blow your socks off... This is one occasion where I was lucky enough to show this home, but for a rental only.
๐๐๐๏ธ
I`m hoping one day the developer will release this to be sold to the public, and I`ll be lucky enough to be the one to snatch it up for my clients!

Since my injuries and being trapped in a hospital bed for almost 2 weeks, to the extent of almost losing my arm, the effects of daily life without physical activity have never been more evident!
๐ฃ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Every day, I find myself constantly lethargic and having to replenish energy with caffeinated products, especially coffee. I haven`t drank coffee regularly, if at all, in a very long time and only used it for emergency energy boosts. Since my injuries, this has changed as I am now just trying to hang onto any energy source I can find. I have been on bed rest for over a month, but have only allowed myself to attend the most important work appointments. With that being said, quality and efficiency in life has dropped. Although I do believe my clarity and focus hasn`t fully subsided due to these injuries, nor has it affected the mental aspect of my job, preparing for engagements is taxing on the mind as you now have to arrange for the limitations and add extra preparation time for every event.
๐ค๐ด
As I recover, knowing myself and what my body`s capabilities are, I welcome the time when I can begin my fitness routine again. It has, and always will be, vital to my success!!
