Client stories

The story behind the sale

Real Metrotown clients, told with their first names. Every move has its own problem to solve; here is how Josh solved theirs.

Holding a sale together through COVID

Anastasia, referred by a mortgage specialist, sold her updated condo at 6188 Patterson Avenue to move downtown, and Josh's video marketing found the buyer. Then COVID rules let tenants refuse to move out for a new owner, and these tenants did, delaying completion by a month or two. Josh brought in legal help and kept the deal together until it closed, and she bought at The Aqua on Pacific Street. Years later he negotiated every last dollar on a mountain lot for her, while on his own vacation.
