Award Winning Vancouver Real Estate Agents

In 2010 we joined forces as Vancouver’s Best Listings. While we were both experienced, successful realtors in our own right, we realized the advantage that a partnership of expertise and knowledge could bring to our clients. With complimentary skills, over 50 years of combined experience in the Vancouver market, and a shared belief in a client-centered approach, we take pride in providing the very best services for our clients and strive to make the real estate process as informative, stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

Our clients often comment on our outstanding service, our integrity, our ability to listen and understand their needs, and our professionalism. But don’t take our word for it, you can see what they say about us here.

We believe experience counts. We’re both dads who are personally invested in city living and we’ve bought and sold homes personally as well as for our clients so we understand what it means to buy and sell in this market on multiple levels. With over 1,000 homes sold between us we focus on superior service from the beginning to the end of the process. We’re proud of the reputation we’ve built in the real estate community and we’re frequently the realtors of choice for professionals in related industries such as mortgage brokers, home stagers, contractors and even our fellow realtors. In addition we’re trusted sources for local and national media.

We also believe in giving back and for each and every one of our sales we make a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network.

Feel free to contact us anytime with any real estate questions you may have and we’re also happy to put you in touch with any of our previous clients for a reference check.
