 A slow start to the year but then SUDDENLY all my 1 bdrms and studios have offers on them. So if you have something to sell, the market is active. Prices are reflective of the market but at least its active. HOUSES IN EAST VANCOUVER ARE HOT NOW. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SIGN IS ON YOUR LAWN, IT WILL SELL FOR TOP DOLLAR. CALL ME, DON'T PAY FULL COMMISSION!!

THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN TODAY'S MARKET IS PRICING. Call me for a market evaluation and I'll show you how I pinpoint prices and get fast sales!!!  Buyers want value, market value so this is no time to add extra just to see how you will do. That small extra can make the difference between selling and sitting. I'll price your home right on, sell it quickly, get you top market value,  and I'll do it  for a minimum $7,950.00 and save you thousands of dollars. You will be HAPPY about the results!!! 14 yrs now in 1%, and 15 yrs total in the business and over 400 properties sold, I've seen almost everything and know how to price a property and how to negotiate and most important, how to sell for top dollar.

I offer excellent communication skills, a patient ear for listening, a savvy knowledge of negotiating and most of all honesty and integrity. I work long hours and I am rewarded by happy customers.

I have many references from not only very happy sellers who saved thousands with full service, but also from buyers who I gave patient and continuous service, steering them from danger and unreasonable prices when possible and never pressuring them.

2018.  I HAVE SOLD ALMOST EVERYTHING, CALL ME TO LIST AND SELL!!! 

A busy year with some serious changes int he Real Estate market. I saw the downturn coming, I warned all of my clients and sent market updates to them. Because of that, i sold several properties for more than they would have received even 4 months later. Today the market is still going down on the West side, and I advise my clients to adjust their property for today's market, rather than waiting for next years market which almost every study shows, will keep going down.

 A LIST OF PROPERTIES i HAVE SOLD 2018:

-250 e 6th, a great price, everyone was happy!!

-618 Abbott st nice rental unit, a good price for this condo

-4350 w 2nd ave great old timer, lot value, sellers took my advice right before the news started to say the market was turning, everyone was happy with the price and commission savings.

-1551 w 11th. sold this unit and netted the sellers 74k more than an identical neighbor on the other side of the building, perhaps 20k difference in my unit, but the extra 54k I netted my sellers???

-1990 Dunbar sold this condo for an excellent price per sq ft, considering it faced 4th ave, it was a solid rental investment.

-550 Pacific great price per sq ft for this unit , facing a parking lot  with applications of building right in front so it would lose its view.

-1575 w 49 older home with 90's reno, sold this right before the market turn down. great price, great commission savings

-1199 Seymour fabulous price  per sq ft for this condo

-1284 w 8th ave great price for this townhouse

-1925 w 2nd ave i got a price for this one bdrm that was hard to beleiee, the sellers were elated!! amazing price per sq ftge

-654 w 6th 654 w 6th Ave listed at $929,000 because the previous sold just 2 doors down from them in their same complex with the same lay out sold for $830,000 in June 2017. So we thought adding 12% more would do it. We had multiple offers and it sold for  $1,016,000, plus I saves the sellers $19,000 in commission. Then I sold them into a house in Delta, negotiated a deal, 50k under asking and then got another 10k off after inspection.

-274 Murphy Drive Tsawwassen I sold my buyers into this house, the sellers from 654 w 6th ave,  i negotiated a deal the agent said the seller would not give to anyone else previously then got another 10 k off after inspection. ( i make my experience work for my buyers)

-351 13728 108 TH AVE multiple offers

IF YOU HIRE A FULL COMMISSION REALTOR YOU ARE GIVING YOUR MONEY AWAY. IN THIS MARKET ANY PROPERTY THAT STANDS, AND HAS A ROOF AND WINDOWS SELLS FOR TOP DOLLAR, TRUST ME!!!!

IF PRICED PROPERLY, EXPECT YOUR PROPERTY TO SELL ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 3 WEEKS, DEPENDING ON THE PROPERTY, AREA AND SIZE. I HAVE SOLD ALL OF MY LISTINGS MOST WITH TOP DOLLAR PRICES BEATING OTHER COMPARABLE'S SALES AND SAVING SELLERS MORE, NETTING THEM MORE..THAT IS KEY.( READ MY HAPPY CUSTOMER COMMENTS) Remember I have over 400 Happy Customers, only a few  are shown, but I have over 400: houses, duplex's, townhouses, condos, freehold, leasehold, co-op.

( NUMBERS AND $$ PER SQ FTG'S DO NOT LIE, DON'T LET OTHER AGENTS FOOL YOU) I CAN SHOW YOU THE NUMBERS:

MORE SALES 2017:

2017 was a crazy year. Just when we thought condo prices couldn't go higher, they did, and house prices stayed low for the whole year. I had so many multiple offer situations, out of the last 12 sales, 9  had multiple offers, one with over 14 offers that took it $100,000 over asking. Others went $40,000, $60,000, $80,000 over.

HERE ARE A FEW OF THE BEST in 2017 but there are too many to mention;

2$ 1235 w 10th ave. WOW, this 2 bdrm had the largest turn out I have seen in a long time. 80 groups through, I sent the document package to 50 groups, and 12 offers came in and we sold it for $89,000 over asking. It went far past what the seller and I expected and everyone was thrilled.

101 2195 w 5th ave, 1 bdrm, Gorgeous patio condo in a rainscreened building. we had a huge turn out, and multiple offers. 40 groups at least, and sold it for $603000 a price I am proud of. The unit needed a renovation but the patio send the price up.

106 1922 W 7TH AVE, A 2 bdrm, 2 bath, with a huge private fenced yard facing south on a quiet street. Sounds good doesn't it? Well hundreds thought so as well. Now it was a complete reno project, neglected for 30 years, but I send the documents package to over 60 groups, and looked after showings all week and 4 inspections. Got 14 offers and sold the property for $100,000 over asking ( does that sound like full service, and does it sound like agents cooperate?) I say so!!

206 2520 Manitoba st, a nice 2 bdrm 2 bath, but facing the busy street of Broadway,. We priced it aggressively but we stil got several offers and we sold it for $20,000 over asking. That was for 839$ a sq ft compared to the unit sold above by full commission realtors at $802 a sq ft. do the math, at a 1000 sq ft, that a lot of extra money and don't forget the $15,000 in saved commission on top of that. The sellers used me to test and see if 1% really worked and he was so impressed hes written me a fabulous reference and is sending me to his friends ( see reference below)

CALL ME, MEET ME, I CANS HOW YOU WHY I SELL PROPERTIES THE WAY I DO!!

I CAN GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2004!!!

YOU HAVE TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE MLS SYSTEM:
WHOEVER PUTS THE SIGN ON YOUR LAWN, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU SELL WILL GET THE CALLS FROM THE BUYER. THAT IS HOW THE MLS SYSTEM WORKS! DON'T LET ANY OTHER AGENT TELL YOU ANY DIFFERENTLY, ITS SIMPLY HOW THIS SYSTEM IS SET UP AND ITS WHY I CAN SELL YOUR HOME FOR TOP DOLLAR AND NET YOU MORE BECAUSE ITS DESIGNED THAT WAY. IT'S HOW THE AGENT WRITES THE AD, THE PICTURES, THE FLOOR PLAN, THE MARKETING SKILLS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE NOT THE COMMISSION ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. BUYERS MAKE THE DECISION TO BUY, IN A SELLERS MARKET OR A BUYERS MARKET, BUYERS ALWAYS MAKE THAT DECISION.

PS. IF YOU HAVE AN OLD HOME, OR A BUILDING LOT, CALL ME.  YOU WILL RECEIVE TOP DOLLAR, SELL QUICKLY  AND PAY MUCH LESS. THERE IS NO NEED TO PAY FULL COMMISSION ON ANYTHING!! MANY BUILDERS CALL DIRECTLY TO THE PERSON WHO HAS THE SIGN ON YOUR LAWN.

 REFERENCES: I have copied and pasted a few below, some very recent so take a look.

Buyers, let my experience help you find exactly what you are looking for with confidence. I negotiate excellent prices for my sellers, so hire me to negotiate for you!!!!

Only an experienced agent with years of experience and all the sales to back it can write up a contract that protects you and works for you. AND NEGOTIATE? How else can someone negotiate a good price for you if they rarely negotiate.??? With almost 380 sales under my belt I know how to work a negotiation. EXPERIENCE MATTERS, MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT!! I have met many realtors who say they have been in the business for 25 yrs, yet many make alot of mistakes.

Thank you April, you were amazing!

 My wife and I have had a great experience working with April. We had plenty of offers from different agents to sell our property, and we interviewed quite a few of them. However, when we went to one open house event held by April, and talked to her just 5 minutes, we had made decision instantly. She was not after us since then but we were. As a result in a market more than 25% down, and considerably slowing down, our property was sold in...... ONE day for above asking price. One more thing about her which also amazed us. April is very busy person but she always picks up a phone even if she in a middle of something. No need to leave a message and wait for hours to get a call back. Some issues require immediate attention. All the way she was very friendly, and demonstrated professional skills a way above our expectations.

"Working with April has made this sale pain-free.  She was responsive and helpful every step of the way.  In short, she worried about all the details, so I didn't have to.  As an expert in my area, she helped me sell quickly, but still made sure I got a good price.  Next time I move, I'll definitely be calling April."

Having April sell our condo was the best decision we could of made.

From the moment of meeting her it quickly became apparent that this lady knows her stuff she had an air about her that makes you feel comfortable immediately. The advice and information she gave us was invaluable to our situation. 

She has so much experience in what buyers want and she could quickly communicate to us how we could effectively and inexpensively get our place into that  "showroom condition".

We put it on the market at the highest price that we thought we could get for it and within 7 days it was snapped up for just under asking. 

The price /square foot was a record for the building were in and not only that we got this amazing service for a fraction of the cost of what the big realtor companies charge. 

 When we finally did put an offer down it was a real relief to have her in fighting in our corner when it came to negotiating. Just when we thought "that's it" we can't get the price any lower she managed to squeeze it down another 5K!

 I know her track record speaks for itself but I have to add that our experience was so very positive and not only that it had the bonus of being highly profitable. Without a doubt, a huge part of that was because of April. We honestly can't recommend her enough

Hi April,
On behalf of my mother, I would like to thank you for the expeditious sale of her West End apartment.
The decision to engage your services was easily our best financial move of this year, as you saved her fully one-half of the regular commission while providing the same service as a full-price agent.
You were a pleasure to work with and I thank you for having my mother's interest at heart throughout the whole sale process.
Please feel free to use this email as my reference for your work, or your prospective clients can contact me at my home number which you are at liberty to give.
Yours truly,
Jonathan P.

Testimonial:

"It took us months to find our eventual home, with multiple bids, high stress and lost hope all part of the experience. All the while, April stayed positive, coaching us and staying focused on our goal of finding a property that fit our budget and approach to life. Both realtors really listened to what we wanted in a home and strived to see we got it. We highly recommend her"

April, we (Shaila and John) can’t thank you enough for all of the hard work you did for us over the past three months. From the very beginning you were up front, honest, punctual, patient, and most importantly, you weren’t afraid to speak your mind. If you saw something worth noting at a property you pointed it out to us right away (i.e. “… there are no flashings on this building” or “… look at the way they’ve done this floor, it’s horrible!”). These qualities helped us avoid near disasters in the crazy housing market that is Vancouver.

We also appreciate how you were always available to us, even when you were on vacation! Whenever there was a listing we wanted to view or if we had any questions regarding a property, we knew that if we sent you an e-mail or left you a message that you would get back to us in a timely manner. In short, you were always there when we needed you.

 Mostly, April, we want to say that you really made our house buying experience a journey worth taking and not the nightmare that we thought it would be. You taught us not only what to look for in our new home, but also what to be careful of, thus contributing to our house-buying education. Your cheerfulness and enthusiasm were always appreciated, especially when we were feeling down and confused. Thank you for not being pushy or aggressive – with you, we never felt pressured, and were free to make up our own minds, after you had given us all of the pertinent information. You helped us find our perfect home, and for that we will always be thankful.

 We (and in this we mean Shaila) also want you to know that you were able to meet and exceed our (Shaila’s) extraordinarily high expectations, which in itself is a huge accomplishment!  Thank you.

Sincerely,Shaila Merchant John Tamkee
