Posted on Oct 14, 2026 in Home Sellers Tips

Posted on Oct 07, 2026 in Home Sellers Tips
You can get a strong offer and still lose money if you counter the wrong way. That's the mistake sellers make all the time in Vancouver: they see a higher number and ignore the deposit, the subjects, the dates, and the buyer's ability to close.

Posted on Sep 30, 2026 in Home Sellers Tips
A seller in Kitsilano or on Main Street can still price a home from memory, especially after hearing what a neighbour received or remembering the market at its peak.
