Sell once. Sell well.
Selling in Burnaby is no longer a single market. Your buyer might be a family, a developer, or a holding investor — and each one values your property differently. The strategy starts with knowing who you're really selling to.
Multiplex-aware pricing
Your home may be worth more to a builder than to a family — or the other way around. We price both audiences from day one.
Editorial marketing
Photography, copywriting, and direction that treats your home like the asset it is — not a template listing.
Quiet outreach
Buyers and developers in my network often see properties before they hit MLS. Some never need to hit MLS at all.
Calm negotiation
Multiple-offer rounds, holdbacks, subject removal — handled with the patience and precision the moment requires.
What sellers ask about Burnaby real estate.
How much does it cost to sell a house in Burnaby?
Plan for roughly 3–4% of your sale price in total costs — primarily real estate commission plus GST, legal fees, and mortgage discharge. For a full line-by-line breakdown and a worked net-proceeds example, see the cost of selling guide.
When is the best time to sell a house in Burnaby?
Timing matters less than pricing and preparation in a balanced market. Spring and fall traditionally see stronger buyer activity, but a well-priced home sells in most months. For the full seasonal analysis, see the complete selling guide.
How long does it take to sell a home in Burnaby?
In a balanced market, expect 30 to 45 days from listing to accepted offer. In slower conditions, 60 to 90 days is more typical. Preparation and pricing strategy matter more than timing: well-priced, well-presented homes consistently sell faster and for more.
Should I renovate before selling my Burnaby home?
Minor cosmetic improvements (fresh paint, cleaned carpets, decluttered spaces) typically deliver strong returns. Major renovations rarely return their full cost. For properties near SkyTrain corridors or with large lots, the land value under Bill 44 zoning often exceeds the marginal value of any renovation — buyers may pay a developer premium regardless of finish quality.
What is my Burnaby home worth?
Market value is determined by recent comparable sales (CMA), current inventory levels, and buyer demand at your specific price point. Bill 44 multiplex zoning has created dual valuation scenarios for many Burnaby lots — a property may be worth more to a developer than to an end-user family. Jersey Li provides private, multiplex-aware valuations for Burnaby homeowners.
Pricing and the CMA, what selling really costs and what you net, prep and staging that pays, and when to list — in the order a seller should think.
