Vancouver

Manan is a licensed BC REALTOR® who works with buyers and sellers across the Lower Mainland, including Vancouver and all of its neighbourhoods. Given how varied Vancouver's dozens of communities are, it's worth a direct conversation about the specific area you're considering.

Yes. Manan Bhullar is a Surrey-based REALTOR® licensed in British Columbia, and he works with buyers and sellers in Vancouver and neighbouring Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver — a BC licence covers the whole province. He can pull recent comparable sales, arrange viewings, and price and market a listing, drawing on his BBA in Marketing from SFU's Beedie School of Business. Because his practice also covers commercial and industrial real estate, he can help with an investment or business property in Vancouver too. Call or text (604) 727-9542.

Housing in Vancouver includes condos. For condos and townhomes, the strata documents — meeting minutes, the depreciation report, and the contingency reserve fund — deserve as much attention as the unit itself.

It depends on what you're after. Vancouver is best summed up as “BC's largest city”, and it tends to suit a range of buyers depending on budget and lifestyle priorities. Visiting at different times of day and comparing it with nearby communities is the best way to judge the fit.

Vancouver's home prices are tracked by Greater Vancouver Realtors (GVR), not the Fraser Valley board, so Fraser Valley benchmark figures aren't a fair comparison. Prices in Vancouver vary widely by property type, size, and age; recent sold comparables for the specific type of home you're considering are the reliable guide, and Manan can pull them for you.

That depends on current inventory and sales activity for your specific type of property in Vancouver, which can differ from region-wide headlines. A look at recent sales and active listings for comparable homes is the best basis for timing a purchase or sale, and Manan can put that together for you.
