Buyer & Seller Insights
New in 2023 - Buyer Rescission period, what Buyers and Seller's need to know. While there are key points to be aware of; do ensure you have a discussion with your Realtor about the deposit. For years leading up to Jan 3, 2023 many deposits were paid upon final subject removals; the new rights to rescind and the resulting cost has an implication to discuss on deposit timing.

Testimonials
"
Best broker owner/ manager for a reason. Still after 32 years in real estate he never fails to impress me. Thank you Richard. On Saturday evening I had two offers at 10:30pm and I had to revoke one. I wanted to ensure I did all the right steps. I reached out to Richard. Not only did he give me a quick reply but he was there with a helping hand. I cannot express gratitude on how much this helped in securing this deal. Every time my team and I have any question about real estate you have answered those immediately. That’s why you are the best manager of the century

I've been licensed for 19 years and have spent 12 of those years with the RE/MAX Select Westcoast Group. I used to think that I stayed because of the brand but I actually stayed because of my manager Richard Laurendeau and the office staff (Aggie, Chris, Harb, Leah). He has provided me with years of support and advice that helped mold me into the realtor that I am today. If you're looking for a Boring, Stable, and Reliable office, then look no further.
