Buying in Greater Vancouver, without the guesswork.
Buying a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Betty starts with your story, not with listings.
Where are you starting from?
Most buyers arrive as one of these three. Whichever fits, the first conversation is the same.
First-time buyer
Pre-sale & resale

The process
-
We talk first
Where you live and work, school catchments, lifestyle. The search is built around your life.
-
Search & shortlist
A short list of the right neighbourhoods and property types.
-
Showings on your timeline
Booked around your schedule, and urgent buyers get priority when the right home appears.
-
Offer and negotiate
Written against the comparables and the inspection report, then argued from them.
-
Close, and stay connected
The same brokers, lawyers and inspectors she trusts, available long after you move in.
Every offer is checked against the numbers first.
Recent sales, condition and zoning, reviewed together in English or Vietnamese.
How Betty evaluates a property
Five factors, checked on every property before you offer.
Every property is reviewed on its own facts
Comparable sales
Recent sales of genuinely similar homes nearby, which set the realistic range.
Property condition
Age, systems and finishes: what the building itself will ask of you.
Zoning and development potential
What the lot could take, which can reveal land value beyond the house.
Carrying costs and timing
Taxes, strata fees and financing: whether a good purchase stays good.
Risk and inspection findings
Reports and disclosures, so the unknowns become a number or a reason to walk.
What you receive
Before you decide on any property, in writing.
Comparable analysis
What similar homes actually sold for.
Risk note
After the inspection, in plain language.
Zoning read
What the land is allowed to become.
Carrying-cost sheet
Mortgage, taxes, strata and what moves them.
Your concern → her approach
“I don’t really know what I want yet.”
Betty helps you define what you need before you spend a weekend touring the wrong homes.
“I’m worried about commission.”
She explains exactly how it works, and negotiates to save you more than her fee on the price.
“What if I make the wrong call?”
Never any pressure, and third-party experts brought in to help you verify before you commit.
“English isn’t my first language.”
Every document explained line by line, in English or Vietnamese.
