I’m the proud founder of Resident Experts. When we established our team in 2015 our vision was to be the city’s very best. Not the best in terms of just transactions, but more importantly, in client well-being, community connection, and industry expertise. In one of the most loved cities in the world but also one of the most challenging real estate markets, leading with values of kindness, integrity, expertise, and generosity is what sets me apart. Beyond just words, I demonstrate this integrity by always doing what I’ve promised. This expertise doesn’t come easy – it’s cultivated through constant learning, hard work, practice, and growth. And about generosity, well, I’m passionate about giving back because community service is a core part of who I am.
Coffee is my fuel, specifically iced espresso, but after hours, I’m a scotch and wine kinda guy. There’s a special place in my heart for my beautiful son, Arden and wife Amanda who I get the pleasure of working alongside.
If you’re looking for a real estate expert who truly cares, and someone who will always keep his word and get the job done right, then you’ve found your guy. I look forward to bringing you value on this platform, connecting with you and earning your respect throughout our journey together.

“Metro Vancouver Real Estate Adjusts to Evolving Conditions”
Metro Vancouver home sales registered on the MLS® in February continued the recent trend of slower-than-average sales, seeing a 10% decline over the same period last year.
The GVR reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,648 in February 2026, a 9.8% decrease from the 1,827 sales recorded in February 2025. This was 28.7% below the 10-year seasonal average (2,310).
“With each passing data point, the pace of sales running well-below long-term averages are no longer a surprise – it’s become the new norm,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “A surprising finding this February, however, is that home sellers appear less eager to list their homes relative to last year with new listings down about 7%, mostly driven by fewer listings in the apartment segment.”
“With fewer sellers coming to market with their properties than last year, a pick-up in demand heading into the spring could result in stagnant inventory, which may support prices around current levels,” Lis said. “With sales slightly outpacing our 2026 forecast year-to-date, the spring market will be the litmus test of whether we continue along this new normal, or if we see any significant surprises.”
🏡 Sales of detached homes: totalled 427 in February, down 10.5% from 477 last year. The benchmark price is $1,835,900 – down 8.8% year over year and 0.8% compared to January.
🏡 Sales of apartments: totalled 824 in February, down 15.6% from 976 last year. The benchmark price is $708,200 – down 6.8% year over year and up 0.5% compared to January.
🏡 Sales of attached homes: totalled 387 in February, up 7.8% from 359 last year. The benchmark townhouse price is $1,046,100 – down 5.6% year over year and up 0.3% from January.

Congratulations to our client on the sale of her downtown condo 🎉
Downtown has been a competitive and challenging market with plenty of options for buyers, so strategy and timing were key. We made the decision to step back in December, regroup, and monitor market activity. As momentum started to return in the new year and open house traffic increased, we relaunched with a plan. Within a few weeks, we secured an offer.
In a market like this, it is not just about being listed. It is about being positioned correctly. Congrats to all involved!

Congratulations to our clients on securing their beautiful new home in Kits!
We had been searching for the right fit, and they were clear on exactly what they wanted. The moment we stepped inside, they felt it. Beyond the character and charm, it simply felt like home 🏠
We anticipated strong interest with this type of property in Kits, and it did not disappoint. Multiple offers came forward, but because we were prepared, strategic, and ready to act, we were able to successfully secure it.
This one feels extra special as it marks their first home together. And something tells us Ellie is going to make very good use of that beautiful backyard 🐾
We can’t wait for their next chapter.

Our buyers are officially homeowners and we could not be more excited for them!
From day one, we had our eye on this building. It’s just down the street from where they currently rent and they knew they wanted to stay in the same neighbourhood they already love. When this one hit the market, we all had the same feeling… this is it.
First day of showings ✔️
Offer secured ✔️
Due diligence complete ✔️

The renovation is beautifully done and completely move in ready. North facing with views, positioned on a bright corner with an abundance of natural light. Added A C, cozy fireplace, and thoughtful updates throughout. It truly checks every box.
The best part? They already have friends in the building. Community, comfort, and a home that fits their lifestyle perfectly.
Huge congratulations to our clients. Onto the next chapter!

We’re honoured to be recognized in the Medallion Club’s Top 10% this year. This milestone is thanks to the incredible clients who trust us with one of the biggest decisions they’ll ever make. We’re intentional about making sure our clients feel confident and supported every step of the way.
2025 wasn’t an easy year in real estate, with some of the lowest inventory we’ve seen in years. In a market like this, we worked even harder behind the scenes to get the best results possible for our clients. It’s during tougher markets that strong advocacy, grit, and long-term relationships really matter. Because real estate isn’t just about transactions, it’s about trust and showing up when it counts.
We’re incredibly proud to have had one of our strongest years yet, even in a challenging market. Being recognized and awarded for being in the top 20 for our Engel and Volkers office was also a big accomplishment.
A big thank you to our clients, colleagues, community, and families for your continued trust and support – we truly couldn’t do this without you.
We’re excited for what’s to come and grateful for the journey ahead ✨
Tips for Buyers as we head into 2026 👀

Don’t chase the market. Position yourself ahead of it.
If you’re pre approved and the right opportunity comes up, be ready to act. Momentum is building, and hesitation can quickly turn into competing offers and higher prices.
The Bank of Canada’s recent interest rate hold is adding a layer of stability, giving buyers and sellers more clarity when making near-term decisions.
If you’re thinking about buying in the near future, now is the time to get ahead by starting your pre-approval process. It can take time, and being well prepared puts you in a much stronger position when the timing is right.
Curious how this applies to your situation? Reach out anytime!

Congrats to our sellers on the sale of their beautiful home in Arbutus! Selling in this market takes extra effort from everyone, and this family absolutely crushed it. They did an amazing job preparing their home and keeping it in perfect showing condition every single time (Ted the dog had to make himself scarce… the chickens were allowed to stay). 🐶 🐓
With lots of showings, plenty of open houses, and strong interest, we were thrilled to find the right family for this special home. So excited for our sellers as they head into their next chapter! ✨

✨January Market Stats✨
•
•
Last year’s market trends continued in January as home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver were 28.5 % lower than last year, setting the year off to a quieter start.
The GVR reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,107 in January 2026, a 28.7% decrease from the 1,552 sales recorded in January 2025. This was 30.9% below the 10-year seasonal average.
“On their own, the January sales appear alarming, but it’s important to put these figures in the context of the past few years. Last year ended with one of the lowest sales totals in over two decades, and so it’s not surprising that the January sales figures were fourth slowest in over two decades as well,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s chief economist and vice-president, data analytics. “Market momentum is a slowly evolving force, and in many ways, the January figures represent a market that continues slowly evolving to what may be a new normal.”
Overall, the market is still settling after a few years of big shifts. Sales remain quiet, but prices have held relatively steady and there’s more inventory to choose from. For both buyers and sellers, this points to a more balanced, slower-moving market where preparation and realistic expectations matter. As confidence gradually returns, opportunities are still out there for those ready to act when the timing feels right.

Big congrats to our first-time buyers who secured this awesome condo! High ceilings, a great layout, super central location, east-facing light, a generous patio, and tucked away on the quiet side of the building — this one checks all the boxes. The wait wasn’t easy. Buying in November, December, and January means fewer options and a lot of patience, especially when you’re eager to get started. But sticking it out paid off, and we know our clients are going to absolutely love living here.
Thinking about buying during a slower season? The right home does come along – timing and patience matter.
