Stephen Lau, BCom, LLB Reviews

I found Stephen by searching for "top Realtor in Edmonton". I needed to sell my home quickly and Stephen rose to the occasion. In addition to his own market valuation, he went through additional steps to ensure I could sell quickly with confidence. Unique to this strategy was the completion of an independent appraisal and a home inspection report that was done *before* listing the house. He explained that if I was to have a multiple offer on my house, all the buyers would feel extremely confident that the house was well-priced with an independent third-party appraisal that validated our listing price. Also, the home inspection report allowed buyers to have a better idea of the condition of the house before they put in an offer. This created less uncertainty for the buyers about the condition of the house. To my delight, I did, as Stephen predicted, receive a multiple offer. There was nearly no renegotiation after the buyer's own home inspection. This was thanks to the home inspection Stephen recommended I do before listing my house. All issues were disclosed before the buyers wrote offers and they did not ask to renegotiate after their own home inspections found results no different than what was already disclosed. I am exceptionally pleased about Stephen's approach and strategy throughout the process. I got top dollar for my house in a very short time. His legal background also gave me confidence in his outstanding negotiation ability. I highly recommend Stephen in selling houses quickly and for top dollar.

Stephen was able to help me in my native language, Cantonese Chinese. Me and my wife were looking for a 2 bedroom condo in a good neighbourhood to enjoy our retirement. Stephen was able to help us negotiate effectively and we got a great price. He introduced us to a very good home inspector, a condominium document review company, and a great lawyer. We felt calm and relaxed through the process. We are very satisfied with his service and trusted his judgment. We would recommend him to our friends. Thank you!

We enjoyed working with Stephen and Faye on the sale of our home, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent realtor. The first thing that impressed us was the thoroughness of their work, and the prompt replies to questions and messages. We met with other realtors to get market evaluations, and Stephen’s was by far more rigorous and thorough. It was complete with comparable listings & recent sales, and a spreadsheet explaining why our house was evaluated at that particular price. The listing materials were also top notch. It included professional pictures, a virtual tour and a cool drone video. These materials, combined with the strategic timing of the listing, and the open house (included music and lighting supplied by Stephen) helped drive a significant amount of traffic to the house resulting in multiple offers. Stephen’s approach is different from most other realtors. He has a system that attempts to create a common starting point for negotiations, which helps to speed up the sale of the property. This is accomplished by having a property appraisal and a home inspection report done before you list the property. We would use them again in the future.

Stephen helped me sell my townhouse property within 2 days of listing! What was most impressive was that he was able to trigger a multiple offer and got $5,000 over list price! The property was professionally marketed with high quality interior photos, aerial drone photos and video. Stephen added background music and special lighting to the vacant property which made it very attractive to potential buyers. Stephen was extremely confident about his process and I trusted him 100%. The result achieved was beyond my expectations and I am so happy to recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor.

Amazing realtor and very helpful. I would highly recommend Stephen Lau and his team for buying or selling your next home.

Outstanding strategy lead to an offer $35,000 OVER list price! The entire home-selling process was systematic and explained to me clearly. The photos and video that Stephen's photographer made to promote my home were stunningly beautiful. He guided me to order a professional home inspection PRIOR to listing my home to ensure there were no surprises during the home selling process. As a result of doing a home inspection prior to listing, I did not have to reduce my price after the purchaser's own home inspection as everything was fully disclosed prior to negotiating the offer. No surprises. Setting an appropriate listing price with the support of a recommended appraisal led to a multiple-offer that resulted in a final selling price $35,000 over the original asking price. We even received a BACKUP OFFER! Having a backup offer in hand gave me the comfort that my home would sell without any uncertainty. The whole negotiation process was done expertly and I was very impressed how I received several offers within a day of putting my house on the market. Stephen's systematic home selling process made everything happen like clockwork. Stephen's legal background gave me the confidence that the outcome would happen exactly as he expected. I am so happy that Stephen represented me as he helped me attain a home sale price much higher than my expectations! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs to sell or buy a home. He is an outstanding Realtor. Thank you.
