I have been in sales for over twenty years, split between hospitality and the travel industry. Throughout this time I have excelled in efficiency and personalized service, which has helped me make a smooth transition into the real estate market.

For over 10 years, I was with Flight Centre Travel Group where I quickly adapted to this industry and earned an award for being one of the top fifty new travel agents in Canada within my first year. Soon after, I was promoted to a leadership role, overseeing five stores and earning the company’s Highest Achievement Award in 2014. After managing these five stores for three years, I made a switch to Business Travel where I led my team to many awards for highest sales volume, most production, most profitable, and the biggest sales growth year after year.

I am not new to the real estate industry as I have been buying, selling, and investing in properties for over fifteen years. In 2008, when I was just 25, I worked three jobs to buy my first property in Downtown Vancouver. In 2015, I bought my second condo in the same building, which I ran as an income property through AirBnb.

In 2018, I purchased a two-bedroom presale condo in Kelowna, adding my first pre-sale property to my portfolio. In 2020, My husband and I purchased a two-bedroom townhome in Gastown, we chose this Gastown property because of all the unique restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. The townhome is as unique as the surrounding neighbourhood and was renovated and designed by local Interior Designer, Gillian Segal. In 2023, our family grew with the arrival of our son, and we decided to move to North Vancouver to have more yard space for him to play and grow. Having lived in Coquitlam, Downtown, and the North Shore, I've become well-versed in the real estate market in these area.

By chance Yvonn Was the one who called me that I had questions about a property. She looked into that for me and just speaking with her and in texts, I felt she was very personable and someone I can get along with. When I found a condo I was interested in, I called her to ask if she wanted to start the process, even though I already had an agent in mind, I chose her instead. She quickly got started and has helped me tremendously from start to the end. I finally only met her in person when we had our walk through inspection and I felt right away I made the perfect decision. She was awesome and we clicked like she was a friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone who's looking for an agent. So thank you Yvonne for everything. You're an angel that was sent to me and you were meant to be the one to make this happen!!

Buying your first home can be both exciting and terrifying at the same time; however, it is realtor like Yvonne Brown who turns the whole thing to an exhilarating adventure. Working with Yvonne has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She took the time to understand my needs, answered every single question with patience and clarity, and guided me through each step of the process with professionalism and genuine care. Her market knowledge is exceptional, and her advice gave me the confidence to make informed decisions. What stood out most was her responsiveness — no matter the time or complexity of my questions, she always had a clear, helpful answer. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly committed to their clients’ best interests, I can’t recommend Yvonne Brown enough.

JC 2025-04-24
Listed and Sold a condo in Vancouver for JC in 2022.
Yvonne helped me sell my Gastown loft in 2022, and I can’t recommend her enough. Before working with her, I had another realtor list the property for six months with zero offers. From the moment Yvonne stepped in, the difference was night and day. She arranged for the place to be staged beautifully, kept me updated on every single inquiry, and was incredibly transparent with all her marketing plans. The best part? I barely had to lift a finger. She handled everything with complete ease and professionalism—my only real job was signing the paperwork. If you're looking for someone who’s proactive, communicative, and just gets the job done, Yvonne is the one to call.

Listed and Sold a condo in Burnaby for Chanelle Bradshaw in 2025.
Yvonne helped us purchase a beautiful penthouse apartment in North Burnaby. Yvonne was very knowledgeable in regard to the strata documents and reviewing the depreciation reports so that we have a transparent understanding of potential upcoming levies. She made sure that we had a very thorough inspection to give us peace of mind and utilize the details favourably in negotiations. Yvonne was always responsive and understanding and really took the time to make us feel like a valuable client. We would highly recommend Yvonne and will be utilizing her again in the future. Thank you Yvonne!

Listed and Sold a condo in Vancouver for Phil Bradshaw in 2025.
I have recently purchased a Home in Vancouver in fact I only yesterday signed final documents with a possession date of April 3rd. I was fortunate to have had Yvonne Brown as my Realtor. Yvonne was extremely thorough in her search for my home, one very important aspect amongst others of finding a home was having multiple garages as I have a few cars. I am also a senior and where I have always lived in a single unattached freehold home, I found it difficult to say the least to try and find something suitable here in Vancouver. But with Yvonne’s never ending efforts to find me something that I would be happy with, it worked out very well. I would highly recommend Yvonne to anyone looking for that special home, she proved herself with her relentless efforts and nailed it. Bravo.

Helped Steven Evans to buy a condo in New Westminster in 2022.
Yvonne helped us find listings that matched our search criteria, set up and came with us to open houses pointing out their pros/cons, and worked with us on competitive numbers for our offers as first time home buyers since our perception of the housing market was skewed. She's kind, hard working, and she wanted to make sure we were happy with our purchase, not just to purchase anything.

Yvonne was absolutely amazing- she was extremely knowledgeable and really guided me through the whole process of selling my house. She was patient and explained reasons for her recommendations. She went above and beyond every step of the way, including helping me find a painter to get my house ready to put on the market. If it wasn’t for Yvonne, I would not have sold my house as quickly or for the price it sold for. I highly recommend Yvonne if you are looking to buy or sell a home.

Yvonne was the key to unlocking our first home in a hot (yet also very uncertain) Vancouver market. She facilitated all aspects of our house hunting, from narrowing our priorities, knowing the right questions to ask realtors, knowing the neighborhoods, knowing the hidden data in strata documents, and knowing when prices are just right -- (or just too good to be true). And all the document and deposit handling, of course. She listened to all our needs: the things we expressed explicitly, we didn't have to repeat them, and the other hints we unconsciously left behind, she would surprisingly pick them up. She is knowledgeable, and well connected. She will answer all your questions, or find the right person to answer them. She will remain tirelessly dedicated and loyal to your cause, even after you've visited over 40 homes and extended what seems to be a million offers. Never once did she ask us to slow down, or pressure us to speed up or accept terms that were not to our satisfaction. She will encourage you to go at your own pace and she understands that important decisions take time. She is encouraging, genuine, and transparent in all her transactions. She had our back. She is supportive, but she also has the courage to tell you if she finds you making incorrect assumptions. Yvonne is a fantastic coordinator and collaborator. You want your realtor to work well with others, because they will be your main communication hub. The realtor is the conductor of an orchestra of listing agents, owners, lawyers, mortgage brokers, insurance brokers, home inspectors, name it (and they don't always play along.) You want a realtor that works with you, but also everyone else involved in making that transaction happen. You want your realtor to juggle, juggle fast, and never drop the ball.... And Yvonne does all of that, naturally, without you needing to ask. She shielded us from all the stressful noise, and did it with a smile! We cannot commend you, and recommend you enough!

Jenna Laurita 2024-08-16
Helped Jenna Laurita to buy a condo in North Vancouver in 2022.
I’m a first-time home buyer, and the thought of buying a place always seemed so far fetched and scary. I approached Yvonne to ask some questions, not expecting it to lead to much. Here I am, 6 months later in my apartment that I bought! Yvonne made the entire process easy to understand and approachable. She had a clear understanding of what I was looking for and worked her absolute hardest to ensure I was not only happy and comfortable with all moves being made, but that I was a strong force in a competitive market. She is someone that will go above and beyond for her clients to ensure they are getting what they want and are fully informed. I would recommend Yvonne in a heartbeat and would 100% work with her again!
