PEOPLE MATTER
Real estate is often more about people than properties. And if you switched out the individuals involved, you would get different results. Clients say I have a creative mindset that offers sharp attention to detail. That I take the time to understand their needs while guiding and advising.
I think my work ethic, coupled with a unique passionate energy and enthusiasm, have motivated clients on both sides of successful real estate transactions. And negotiation skills with the art of nuance are critically important to standing out in real estate and creating better outcomes for clients. To achieve those results you must connect authentically with great collaboration.
Please watch my testimonial video which features a few clients and words from fellow colleagues who offer insights into working with me.
HOW I GOT HERE
In addition to getting a B.A. from McGill University and completing my graduate studies on scholarship at Harvard University, I spent time as a professional actor in film, television, theatre and voice. My stage name was Bryan Elliot and during that span I was the host of CBC's Video Hits on National television and presented at the Juno Awards. When I lived in Manhattan, I hosted The New York Theatre Review on Bravo.
All this creative experience helped shape who I am today, being firmly entrenched in Vancouver's thriving and ever changing real estate environment. Bringing my experiences over to the real estate table gives clients valuable leverage, from professionally introducing their homes at the beginning of listing films, to strategically presenting their offers and counter offers in person to sellers as well as buyers on the other side whenever possible. It's all about getting a deal done together!!
FAMILY
My family and I have lived in Kitsilano, Vancouver's North Shore and Anmore. We're now residents of Port Moody's Pleasantside community. We love it here by the ocean and refreshing lakes with majestic mountains as our backdrop. It's just a 30 minute drive to downtown Vancouver and 60 minutes to Grouse Mountain. Port Moody is as family friendly as it gets and we're thrilled to watch our son grow up here amongst his friends.
Typically, the first step before you look for a home is determining your budget through a reliable and certified mortgage specialist. Doing so gives us leverage when I present your offer in person.
If you need me to connect you with any of my highly skilled mortgage contacts, please let me know. I would be more than happy to do so. Once our price range is confirmed and we're on the exact same page in regards to your specific criteria lists, we can begin to shop confidently for your desired home together, in the least amount of time with minimal inconvenience. I prefer presenting offers and even counter offers in person, which is hardly seen in today's real estate. I believe you can't beat a handshake and a smile which gives my clients the very best chance to reach an accepted offer. And it's a real thrill to help them reach their real estate goals!
Elliot
A skilled listing REALTOR packages a home with knowledge, passion, thoroughness and creativity. They unveil the property like luxury British sports car manufacturer Aston Martin would launch a new impressive model. Presentation is everything!
By following a well thought out marketing plan, it encourages fellow REALTORS and buyers to take an interest in us and come forward with tangible written offers. My slick listing films offer suitable hand picked music to elicit an emotion from potential buyers. Hi-res photos and colour floor plans are crisp both online and in my custom listing brochures. One of several fully reflective and creative lawn signs will speak for itself with an unforgettable voice on your property. Strong communication skills with the sellers, cooperating agents and buyers is my cornerstone and always with integrity and immense attention to detail.
