Client stories

The stories behind the sales

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

Poly-B at the inspection, and a clause that saved the deal

Sara and Matt's townhouse purchase nearly fell apart when the inspection found poly-B plumbing, and Matt was ready to walk away. Josh told the listing agent, and the sellers agreed to replace all the piping before completion; the complex also put in new windows before they moved in. When permit delays threatened to push completion back by months, Josh wrote a tightly protective clause into the contract, and the sale closed.

Getting into the market without overpaying

Jennily and her husband were renting in Vancouver and wanted to buy on the North Shore, closer to work and daycare, without paying top dollar. Josh started with a consultation on North Vancouver's neighbourhoods and what each budget buys. They bought a townhouse on Chesterfield Avenue that had been on the market for a while, in a self-managed complex, at a good price. After the inspection, Josh connected them with an electrician and a painter for the work it needed.
