BIOGRAPHY

Growing up in the Fraser Valley has given me great appreciation and passion for the cities within it. When I combined my interest in this beautiful corner of the world, with my desire to work with people to help them achieve their goals, Real Estate was an easy decision.

I pride myself on my honesty and a hard work ethic, and I’ve found that has been well received by my past clients and peers. Selling homes for over a decade has taught me so much. I use the challenges that arise as opportunities to learn and better myself as a real estate professional. I strive to provide a level of service to my client that exceeds their expectations.

I started my career with Landmark Realty in Abbotsford (now Sutton Group), and was there for 14 years. Then made the move over to Century 21 Creekside Realty and am very happy here. The people at this company and their community mindedness helped influence me to make a move. One thing I experienced through the move was that although change can be unsettling it also provides the opportunity to produce positive growth.

I enjoy the majority of my down time with my wife and two beautiful kids. We’re very fortunate to have the majority of our family living locally between Abbotsford and Chilliwack. So our kids get to spend a fair amount of time with most of their cousins. I try to spend my remaining time outdoors, fishing, golfing, camping and playing in a local slo-pitch league.

Nowadays realtors seem to be a dime a dozen. You need to ensure you choose someone with experience and understanding who can provide guidance when you need to make such a huge decision. If you’re on the fence about which realtor to choose, we would not hesitate to recommend Nick. He knows a thing or two about real estate and will sell your place in no time. He will also find your dream home and help you every step of the way ...even if it’s a loooooong process (because covid.. and building delays), he’s by your side. As an aside, he’s also a really great person - he’s very genuine and easy to talk to with a great sense of humour 🤗

Working with Nick was an absolute pleasure over the course of our (lengthy) home search. We are very happy with our recent purchase, and would recommend Nick's services. Clear communication, attention to detail, and industry knowledge are some of Nick's key strengths. I really enjoyed his positive, professional attitude and honesty through the process!

We have used Nick with a few buy/sell transactions and would never use anyone else!! I can't recommend him enough, he is very professional and honest. He is so great at understanding his clients needs and finding the perfect place! He is patient and super knowledgeable in what he is presenting and really gives you the time to process such a big decision. Without a doubt we wouldn't have our forever home if Nick didn't work his magic to get it for us! He is who you want in your corner when purchasing and selling a home, hands down!

We cannot express how amazing Nick is and how thankful we were to have him as our listing and purchasing agent! He was so professional and helpful with listing and selling our condo. It can be a stressful time however we felt at ease with Nick and trusted him through the entire process. At times we felt that we were being too needy, however Nick was always available to answer our questions and took the time to ensure we understood the process of selling and buying. The team Nick chose to work with, from his photographer to recommended mortgage broker, were second to none. Nick helped us find our perfect home and worked tirelessly to help us secure the purchase. We couldn’t be happier with our experience! We highly recommend Nick as a realtor!

Nick is a caring and competent real estate professional. He is knowledgeable and prompt in all his dealings. He also doesn't pretend to know all the answers and will search out the answers if needed quickly and decisively. I would not hesitate to refer family and friends to Nick in providing real estate services.

We made the difficult Decision to sell our home of almost 20 years and decided to use the services of Nick Van. He was incredible and extremely helpful with this transaction. I might add the biggest one of our lives. He did an amazing job and was always in contact with us during the whole process. He was easy to communicate with, compassionate and caring. With great success Nick helped us sell our home in a tough market quickly. I would highly recommend to anyone to use his services should you decide to either purchase a home or sell. You will be glad you did. Thank you so much Nick for all your help. You are greatly appreciated. Stuart & Leanne

This was my THIRD time working with Nick in the last few years, and again, it was wonderful. He makes the time for you, doesn't brush you off, or treat you like just a number. He truly understands the Fraser Valley Market. I often tell anyone thinking of selling/buying to contact Nick, you won't go wrong. Nick was able to sell my place in a reasonable period time in this slow condo market we saw in Chilliwack in early 2019. I still got top dollar, I relate it to his skill in picking photographers and chatting with his contacts in the industry to be sure my property was being viewed by as many realtors as possible. Again, like I say above, USE NICK.

We had THE BEST experience with Nick! He really took the time to get to know our family and help us find the perfect home. He was a great advocate for us when we placed an offer on our home. We really felt like he listened to our needs and would advise us on which houses would be worth our time to look at. While we were in the houses he was able to give us solid backgrounds on the house. He has a solid understanding of neighbourhoods and areas with good school catchments, parks and amenities near by. Nick was always on time and we were never rushed to get into the next house. He allowed us as much time as we requested. When it came time to purchasing the house we now live in, he broke down the steps and made it very straight forward as to what would happen next. In the end we got the house we wanted in a neighbourhood that we love. We would definitely recommend nick to any of our friends and family

After contacting several realtors in the area; Nick was the first to reply and within days had three showings scheduled for us to view. He was readily available and extremely flexible to our schedules. The process of finding and purchasing our home was done with ease and pressure free since he listened to our concerns/wants and he delivered! We are sincerely thankful for all his knowledge, recommendations, expertise , time and energy spent on finding us our perfect home. Thank you Nick!!

My husband and I appreciated the ease of service Nick provide while we were selling a place in Abbotsford while living on Vancouver Island. He uses up to date technology to make signing the paperwork as easy as a few clicks on a smart phone. He also went above and beyond by being present while the new owner requested to show our home to potential clients and we couldn’t be there. He was easy to work with, patient and demonstrated his experience in this field by his ability to answer my 101 questions and concerns. Nick was very professional through this entire exchange and would recommend him to anyone who likes to be treated with respect and enjoys great customer service.

Working with Nick was awesome. He showed me everything he could in my price range, so I would have a fair and balanced understanding of my options. He made sure I knew the neighborhoods I was looking in, which was great being new to town. Amazing experience, will always highly recommend Nick, and will 100% use him again! Thanks Nick!!
