Hello, my name is Jark! I have been a real estate investor for the past 15 years, predominately in the Greater Vancouver area but also in the developing real-estate locales of Whistler as well as Revelstoke. I share my research and writing on a daily basis as an added service to my clients. It's important to realize that REALTORS are not only sales people but are also scholars of Real Estate in their own right. The hundreds of articles I've published serve to exemplify this point.
In Vancouver specifically, I’ve bought and sold more than four businesses of my own – prior to licensing as a real estate licensee – and have bought three passive real-estate holdings. If you’re looking for an agent who’s not only thought about real estate but has also bought and sold his own properties, and taken his own calculated risks, give me a holler and we’ll discuss the market and your participation therein. For more than theory, speak to someone who’s empirically on the same page as an experienced real estate investor.
Looking For That Perfect Fixer-Upper? When it comes to finding the perfect Vancouver fixer-upper you'll have to have your senses in sharp tune to pick up what others may miss. You'll find that there are a lot of different homes in Vancouver that will fall into the fixer-upper category quite easily. It is your job to find them along with the help of your real estate agent.
