Overseas Owners

When you are not living in the same country as your investment property, it can be worrying not knowing what is happening and if your property is well looked after and in good hands. We understand this, many of our clients live abroad so we ensure they can sleep at night knowing their Vancouver rental condo is in good hands. We pride ourselves in communication with our clients and make sure our overseas and out of town owners always have the most up to date information.

The world is getting smaller but that doesn’t mean everyone speaks English, or wants to. We have agents that speak Mandarin, Japanese, French, Farsi and Italian. We can also offer a translation service for your bills, strata minutes, taxes, etc. Just ask!
