Brian Higgins*

Brian Higgins helped sell our townhome in one of the toughest markets. Nailed the timing. And helped me buy a complicated court ordered apartment sale. Got the most I could have on both ends!

Brian did a fantastic job of getting top dollar for my Yaletown condo (the highest sale to date, despite a difficult market). He invested in an excellent photographer and videographer to ensure premium marketing materials. When the first low offer came in I never heard the typical "your first offer is your best offer" that many agents revert to for a fast/easy sale. Instead, he was very supportive of holding out for a better buyer and we got another $75K bump in the end. He was a pleasure to deal with, highly collaborative and made the whole process as seamless as it could be!

We knew Brian was well-networked and had extensive Real Estate knowledge, which is critical in this unforgiving Vancouver Housing Market, but what blew us away was his desire to find our family the very best home our budget would allow. As a family-first individual, Brian's goals were clear; to partner and lead us through this emotional home-buying journey giving us the trust and confidence we needed to navigate the tricky market. Through a highly strategic offer, and going above and beyond, we landed the home of our dreams. Throughout this process, there were many personal and thoughtful touches. We will not buy another home without Brian - Thank you!

Brian is an extremely rare find among realtors. He stands out for his professionalism, integrity, transparency, extensive knowledge, and his passion for what he does. Over the past 24 months, using a “no pressure” approach, Brian patiently and tirelessly helped my wife and me evaluate close to twenty homes on the West Side of Vancouver. In the end, he helped us find, evaluate and successfully acquire the perfect family home in a highly competitive and stressful multiple offer situation. Had it not been for Brian’s extensive deal-making experience and professionalism, we would have surely lost out to other buyers. Because Brian also helped us sell a unique 2400 square foot condo in Vancouver a few years ago, I can confidently recommend Brian to anyone looking to buy or sell a home or condo in Vancouver.

I would highly recommend Brian as a realtor for anyone looking for their next home. Brian has knowledge of not just the locations, but the buildings themselves due to his extensive construction knowledge. During the buying process, Brian is very professional and it's clear that he really cares about his clients and making sure they find the thing that suits them best. Brian is easily the best realtor I've worked with, and I'm looking forward to working with him again. Thanks Brian!

Brian's golden quote know your product is the best description of his professionalism and extensive knowledge about the vancouver DT and waterfront properties. The Toronto Team has learnt alot from him.

Colton was very helpful in our effort to secure our first home in Vancouver - Colton and the team at YVR4Sale experience, knowledge and connection to the real estate market were invaluable to us and we are very pleased both with the result as well as with the prospect of partnering again with Colton and the entire YVR4Sale team.

I would highly recommend Brian and his team especially for the downtown core. He is extremely knowledgeable and goes above and beyond from the beginning stage providing market research for target pricing right down to the negotiation stage. During this COVID pandemic he provided me with a fantastic virtual tour which got the deal done quickly and practically subject free. It was my second time using him to sell a rental property and I would definitely use him again !

I enthusiastically recommend Brian's services whether selling or buying a home. In my multiple real estate transactions over several decades, there has been no realtor that comes close to what Brian delivers. Brian is a highly knowledgeable professional with an excellent understanding of the local market. He is a lovely man of integrity with a longstanding passion for Vancouver real estate, and places more value on getting his clients exactly what they want than in closing a deal. I feel lucky that he was recommended to me by a friend and I will continue to pay that forward.

Brian Higgins is an exceptional real estate expert. Throughout the years I have bought and sold over 8 homes and have yet to come across anyone who has as much current market understanding, strategic savvy and the patience and magnetic personality to close the deal, as Brian. He sold our condo for an amount higher than market value and was able to find us an ideal home that we absolutely love, during a time where multiple offers on real estate made it difficult to impossible to find a place one could afford. Recently when consulting with him on whether to sell our condo or not, Brian who would have had a new listing, advised us to stay put and not sell. I would highly recommend Brian if you are looking for intelligence, integrity and a principled man to represent your real estate interests.

It was an amazing experience working with Brain and Colton at YVR4Sale. Brian and I started working together 5 years ago to get me into my first property with an aim of ensuring the purchase would be an appreciating asset with a goal of selling in 5 years. I just sold my property after 5 yers with an amazing return of 50%. It was with Brians acute knowledge of the area, building and market conditions that allowed me to reap the financial benefits. Thank you to both Brian and Colton who aggressively sold my property when I needed the capital. I highly recommend working with YVRSale, they care about you, the person, and have your best interest as the focal point of their business. They will be honest and steer you away from a potential troublesome property with honest and professional feedback to ensure you are making the right decision for you to achieve your goals. THANK YOU!

There is no better agent than Brian Higgins of YVR4Sale. Professional, accurate, and honest. He worked closely with me and my wife to help us find the perfect home at a great price. I cant recommend Brian and his team enough. If you're looking for a solid all round realtor who understands your needs then you need to get in touch with this team.

Brian and his team know real estate! I’ve never met a realtor who knows so much detail of all the buildings and stratas in Vancouver like he does. He helped me find my dream condo, and I always felt like he listened to my needs. I highly recommend Brian and the YVR4Sale team to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Vancouver.

Brian and Colton are extremely knowledgeable about the market in downtown Vancouver and was a pleasure to work with!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Brian and Colton. Brian was extremely professional, knowledgable and hard working. We first met with him to discuss strategy. He talked about all the potential challenges and roadblocks we could possibly face as well as the strengths of our property. When we first listed the property, everything went as Brian had predicted. Any challenges that came up we felt we were strategically ready for (which quickly put us at ease). When the offers came in we were faced with some tough negotiations. Brian was able to masterfully handle the negotiations. We landed on a deal that we were happy with and felt fair to all parties. Watching Brian work is like watching a master chess player. He has done this enough (and mastered his craft to such a high level) that moving through complex situations with strategy and precision, has now become second nature to him. We looked at his impressive sales history before we worked with him. Now that we have had the pleasure of working him, we completely understand how he has been so successful. We couldn't be happier with Brian's work and it is a pleasure to recommend him.

Brian focuses on developing and maintaining long term relationships with his customers. On several occasions, he guided us away from potential deals, which he felt were inappropriate for our needs, while putting his income on back burner. We relocated to another city and have not been able to find his level of skill, knowledge and integrity in the local industry. We miss you, Brian!

We were very particular in the employment of a realtor to handle the sale of our False Creek waterfront condo. Brian had sold a property for our friends and therefore we were well aware of his abilities. He brought comparative data of equivalent properties that had been sold and also new properties for sale within the immediate area.His listings included values per square foot and the number of days on the market. Many other conversational details enabled us to agree on a reasonable price. He managed showing to prospective buyers as if the property was personally his own. He always excelled in communicating details to us. The sale was achieved in creating a satisfied seller and apparently a delighted buyer. Throughout the process he demonstrated very professional knowledge and abilities. At all times his caring attitude was extremely helpful and made us very comfortable as absentee owners. We recommend him as the perfect agent.

Colton helped me finding my ideal home. He is excellent in communication. He explained things very clearly and patiently. He always did what he promised to do. He continued his support to me even after the sale was complete.

I had the unique pleasure of working with Brian and Colton when I sold my Yaletown Condo this past November 2019. They were absolutely incredible to work with. They had strong knowledge of the area, the community, the state of affairs of the Vancouver marketplace and always went above and beyond in everything they did. They had frequent open house showings for my property and always contacted me after each showing to give me feedback. Brian advised me of pricing and kept me in the loop regarding what the marketplace was doing. Both Brian and Colton are reliable, smart, flexible and easy to work with. I live in New York, so it was often difficult to attend to the day to day activities that one needs to do when selling a property in another country. Brian often told me, “We are your foot soldiers here in Vancouver, just let me know how I can help” and help he did! He found me a local painter to put a fresh coat of paint on the walls, he called in a flooring guy to see about fixing an imperfection in the hardwood flooring, he worked with me on donating the contents of my unit to worthy organizations, recommended an awesome Canadian accountant to do my closing and he even returned my Telus boxes right before the condo closed. There are no better real estate agents out there, especially in the Vancouver area, and I am so grateful that I got to work with so closely with them. If you are looking to either buy or sell your property, calling Brian and Colton would be one of the best decisions you’d make.
