Buying a place is not an easy task, especially in a foreign country. When I started looking around I was pretty intimidated by the process. Mr. Emannuel took care of me greatly. At the beginning of our relationship he took 2 hours to guide me through the entire process: from how to hunt a house, putting an offer, mortgages, budgets, fees and etc. He is an active listener, understands your requirements and style, and brings in offers that fit those needs. He rigorously follows his values: integrity, empathy, and honesty which gives you comfort because you know you can rely on him to take care of things on your behalf. He is capable of providing end-to-end services according to your needs: finding a place, inspection, mortgage broker, legal services, etc. Therefore throughout the process, you feel well-taken care of. He filters the market on your behalf and sends the best matches periodically. If you send him your choices, he takes a deep dive, looks for shortcomings and red flags, and eliminates options that do not comply with your criteria. He has a deep understanding of market trends, pricing, and negotiation in greater metro Vancouver. Before you place your offer, he works with you, guides you to make a reasonable decision. If you do not follow his advice he informs you about full repercussions. All in all, he is great to work with, I was very satisfied and glad that he helped me a lot to become a home owner in BC.
