EXPERT OPINIONS

Nobody knows more about the experience of working with Resident Experts than the people who already have.

Scott came highly recommended when we were looking for a realtor to help us purchase our first home. He exceeded our expectation every step of the way. He is communicative, knowledgeable and detailed. We felt that we could trust him to look out for our best interests and that made the process of buying a home a lot less intimidating and more fun! We would without reservation recommend Scott!

— Luna and Ayo

Although her reputation was excellent, Amanda exceeded our expectations when we worked with her on two real estate transactions. She was knowledgeable and gave clear instructions on every step of the process. She was available and always ready to listen to concerns and answer questions, strong and confident but never overbearing. She is passionate about achieving the best for her clients and worked very hard to reach a positive outcome. Amanda is a superb negotiator and we were very grateful that we had her expertise throughout the process.

— Gord and Lydele

The Resident Experts were an absolute pleasure to work with. We were incredibly impressed with them each step of the way.The communication from start to finish never left us with questions and we felt well informed throughout the entire process. Their knowledge and expertise of the real estate market assured us our property was in great hands.We valued their honest approach and integrity .Loved the fact that 10 percent of their commission is given to charity. We would recommend this team of professionals to family and friends without hesitation.

— Grant and Cheryl

Scott & Amanda worked tirelessly to assist us in purchasing a property in 2015.  Scott was eternally patient in supporting us as a couple when my husband & I had different visions & budgets.  His attention to detail was the key to getting us our dream home during a highly competitive time in the market.  Amanda complimented his strengths with her respectfully assertive nature which provided much-needed direction for us.  The Regamble team bring integrity & honesty to the challenging Vancouver market.  Thank you both for your commitment to our family & our home.

Why Pricing Your Home Correctly Matters 💫
•
•

The first two weeks on the market are critical. That’s when your home receives the most attention, generates the highest level of buyer interest, and creates the strongest opportunity for competition. Pricing plays a major role in how buyers perceive value from day one.

Buying decisions can often be emotional, so we try to evaluate your home through the eyes of today’s buyer, while also recognizing the unique qualities that made you fall in love with it in the first place.

Our pricing process is thoughtful, strategic and based on real market data and knowledge. We don’t “buy listings” by suggesting unrealistic prices. Instead, we position your home based on where the market truly is today using current market data and local insights, including:

* Recent sales and trends in the neighbourhood and building
* Community growth and future deve​lopment plans
* Proximity to schools, parks, transit, and amenities
* The broader market conditions 

Sometimes that means having honest conversations about current market conditions or pricing expectations. Our role is to provide clear, transparent guidance so you can make informed decisions.

Have any questions? We’d love to chat!

What Is Property Transfer Tax in BC? 🏡
•
•

Property Transfer Tax (PTT) is a one-time tax paid when real estate changes ownership in British Columbia.

Who pays it? The buyer
When is it paid? On Completion Day, when title transfers
How is it paid? Your lawyer or notary collects the funds from you as part of your closing costs and remits it directly to the province

How It’s Calculated Example on a $1,000,000 home:
$2,000 (1% of $200,000)
$16,000 (2% of $800,000)
Total PTT = $18,000

First-Time Home Buyer Exemption
Qualifying buyers may receive:
✔️ Full exemption: up to $500,000
✔️ Partial exemption: $500,000–$835,000
✔️ Reduced exemption: $835,000–$860,000
✔️ No exemption: above $860,000

💡 Maximum savings: up to $8,000


New Build Exemption 
Buying a newly built home? You may qualify for:
 ✔️ Full exemption up to $1.1M
 ✔️ Partial exemption up to $1.15M
 ✔️ Must be your principal residence

💡 Potential savings: up to ~$18,000

Understanding PTT and potential exemptions is key to budgeting your true closing costs. If you’re planning to buy, make sure this is factored into your numbers.
