Your advocate in the presale market
I represent you, never the developer, from the first conversation to the day you receive your keys.
Buying a presale is a commitment that unfolds over years, not weeks. Since founding Vancouver Presales in 2010, I have guided buyers through every stage, from choosing the right project to walking through the finished home before completion. My role is simple: protect your interests and make sure every decision is an informed one. As a full service realtor, I can also show you existing homes on the resale market, so you can weigh a presale against a home you could move into now.
The PAL Buyer System
Three stages that take you from first conversation to keys in hand, and beyond.
Planning
Before you commit- Strategy session.We define your goals (home or investment), your timeline to completion and the neighbourhoods that fit.
- Budget and deposit planning.Deposit structure, mortgage pre approval, rate hold options and the closing costs to expect, such as GST and property transfer tax.
- Every project, one shortlist.I compare options across all developers, not one sales program, and add resale homes to the comparison if you want to see both.
- Early access.I register you for priority and early access opportunities before public launch.
Advocacy
When you choose and sign- Project due diligence.Developer track record, construction type, future buildings nearby and what they could mean for your view and value.
- Home selection.Floor plan, exposure, floor level, parking and storage, chosen with resale and livability in mind.
- Negotiation.Price where possible, and deposit terms, upgrades and incentives when price is fixed.
- Contract review.We review the disclosure statement and contract together within your seven day rescission period, so you only firm up once you are comfortable.
Legacy
From construction to keys and beyond- Construction updates.I keep you informed through amendments, timeline changes and deposit dates.
- Pre completion walkthrough.I attend the walkthrough with you to document deficiencies before you take possession.
- Completion support.Coordination with your lender and lawyer so closing day is calm.
- Ongoing care.Warranty guidance, market value updates and advice on renting, holding or selling, including assignment options if your plans change before completion.
Why buyers work with me
Your advocate, not the developer’s.
Presentation centre staff represent the developer. I represent you.
No cost to you.
My compensation is paid by the developer, so my guidance costs you nothing.
Relationships that open doors.
Years of work with BC’s leading developers and marketing firms mean early access and real negotiating room.
Present at the finish line.
Many agents disappear after the contract is signed. I am there for the walkthrough and completion.
Presale and resale, one advisor.
I am a full service realtor, so you can compare new construction with homes already on the market before you decide.
Good to know
Do I pay for your services?
No. Compensation for presale purchases is paid by the developer.
Can you also show me resale homes?
Yes. Many buyers compare presales with existing homes, and I can help you search, view and buy on the resale market too.
Should I contact you before visiting a presentation centre?
Yes. Many developers only recognize a buyer’s agent who is present at the first visit or registration, so reach out first.
Can I change my mind after signing?
BC law gives presale buyers a seven day rescission period after receiving the disclosure statement. We use that time to review everything carefully.
What if my plans change before completion?
Depending on the contract, an assignment may be possible. I will explain the developer’s rules, fees and tax considerations before you decide.
