The Health and Safety of our Community Comes First.
Together we are facing an unprecedented global situation as COVID-19 has forced us to adapt to an ever-changing reality and new ways of life in the last few weeks. That being said, we are committed to supporting our community during these times. Whether you have already moved into a new home, considering one of our new developments, or waiting for your newly constructed home to be completed, we are here for you. We remain committed to assist and support our clients in all the steps of looking, buying and moving into their brand new homes, and are proud to implement and follow all the required regulations and procedures so that construction can safely and efficiently carry on. We look forward to seeing many of you in-person when possible, but look forward to virtually helping however we can in the meantime!
You don't have to leave the safety or comfort of your home to find a new one.
Virtual Home Finding
In support of social distancing, our team is available to show properties through video conferencing. All our current listings and on our website, many with Virtual Tour links. Our Showhomes are closed but are available for viewing exclusively by appointment. Please contact your realtor for details.
The New Home Buying Process
Over the next months, we will reduce the number of people who may need to attend our sites exclusively to necessary visits, including final walk-throughs and key-delivery. We will continue to serve you by using phone, email, facetime or zoom!
Offers
All offers and contract documents will be presented virtually and authorized using your electronic signature via DocuSign. Handling sales virtually is nothing new to us!
Completions
Homeowners and prospective buyers that are waiting for the completion of a new home can be confident that construction work is progressing, and that construction has been designated as an essential service in the province of British Columbia. Though there are unique immediate challenges related to COVID-19 and new construction, we are anticipating continuing to build in a safe matter and greatly appreciate our clients, friends and family during this unique time.
