Hi my name is Sean Holden and I am an experienced REALTOR® selling Vancouver Real Estate:


Bios are traditionally written in the third-person; however, I have chosen to present this bio in the first-person to underscore my determination to always be there for you in person from beginning to end.


If you are looking for the right REALTOR® to help you sell or buy in Vancouver, call me today to discuss your real estate needs! I answer the phone personally!


Patience, fairness and integrity have forged my established reputation and this trust and respect of other REALTORS® is invaluable when I am selling or buying your home. When you choose me to assist you, I will be there for you personally from beginning to end. You will be dealing directly with me and not an assistant, buyer’s agent or other substitution. You can expect an upfront, professional and personable approach, a thorough knowledge of the Vancouver market, a strong work ethic, an obsession with personal service and a total commitment to meeting your needs and wishes.


I have sold hundreds of homes since I joined RE/MAX® in 2000. While my achievements have been recognized in the RE/MAX® Hall Of Fame, RE/MAX® Lifetime Achievement Award and through other peer awards recognizing top performing REALTORS®, it is the kind words from clients that mean the most. My goal is always to guide yoou through the process and help to reduce your stress while I work to obtain the best price and terms when selling or buying real estate for you.


Graduating in 1979 from University College Dublin with a Bachelor of Science/Engineering degree, I left Ireland a year later to come to Canada. Following a successful career in industrial construction and project management, a shift to sales and marketing led me to real estate. Having lived in Vancouver since 1980, my knowledge of the area, combined with my experience and understanding of the requirements of selling and buying homes, makes the process a success for everyone from experienced home owners looking to sell to first time buyers looking to get into the market.


Real estate keeps me busy virtually every day of the week, so there is little time for hobbies. I do, however, manage to find a few weeks for travel each year and hope to continue adding new places to the list of over 36 countries I have visited worldwide.


Meanwhile, I am so grateful for the patience of my wife Nicole who despite having a career of her own as a paralegal, provides the unfaltering support and encouragement to make it possible for me to continue to give my undivided attention to the needs of my clients.


What Clients Have To Say:


Sean has been my go-to realtor, for the past 17 years. I have purchased three homes with his assistance and he has sold three for me. All three sales were sold within the first week of listing and over asking price. Sean is always available for a friendly chat to advise on any real estate questions you may have, from the state of the current market, to where you should be spending money on improvements. Jason O.

Sean is a diligent, keen real estate agent! He was thorough and precise in his preparations for selling our home, gave us honest advice, and followed through to help us sell quickly with great results! We are so happy that we used Sean as our agent. He is top-notch! John S.

What an excellent Experience it was dealing with Sean. Not only is he a rock star for staging your home and getting it up online with High Res Photos, but he's funny, clever and easy to communicate with. He sold my home in 2 weeks! Darcy W.

I can't say enough about Sean. He is a professional, kind, caring and patient man who is driven by a desire to give service. He is an expert with a wide knowledge base about the market in Vancouver and real estate in general. He is ethical and extremely competent. We referred him to our dear friends when they needed to sell. He represented them on the sale and purchase of their homes and every time they saw us, they thanked us for referring him to them - they called him and angel. Deborah R.
My wife and have known Sean for well over a decade. Every time we considered buying or selling, we went with him without hesitation. Sean's strong experience in real estate, market knowledge and many other crucial fundamentals were second to none. He was always prompt and available to go the distance for any of our needs when buying and selling our homes. His professionalism and confidence were present every time. He was with us from beginning to end and we would recommend his services to anyone in a heartbeat!. Thanks again Sean for your patience and dedication! Isaac H.

We give Sean our wholehearted recommendation. His skills in buying and selling homes are truly outstanding. His understanding of the market, professionalism, perception of one's particular needs, and knowledge of the multifaceted process of moving, are all remarkable.

Sean is an excellent realtor! And he is also an amazing person and a great pleasure to work with. We were particularly impressed by his dedication, honesty, and kind consideration.

Sean showed our house to potential buyers in the best possible light, and produced an impressive fact sheet on card stock and in full colour. He carefully presented all the relevant information about the house, providing buyers with documentation, accurate measurements, and fine details. Sean took the time to always answer phone calls and show the house himself to prospective buyers, with full consideration to our convenience, as well as the buyers schedule.

Sean's help in the purchase of our new house was instrumental, and a testimony to his superb skills. We bought our new home in an area known for exceptionally quick sales and over-bidding. Without his negotiating skills and good advice, we would not be where we are so happily today. We are extremely thankful that friends of ours so highly recommended Sean to us, and we are delighted to give him the highest recommendation to you. He is the very best! D & N

To say that Sean Holden is the hardest working realtor in town is an understatement; he is also exceptionally patient, knowledgeable and frank. He took the time to research and understand what I wanted in a property and listened, guiding me to the best possible options in my budget, as well as explaining the state of the market and walking me through every question and query I threw his way.
When it was time to sell as I was relocating, Sean was my first call. He went over and beyond what I expected, setting out exactly what I should expect through the selling process, what the market looked like, a thorough analysis of my neighborhood and the properties in my selling range, and how best to stage and prepare my house. He was patient and understanding, and provided enormous support through every stage. I give him the highest recommendation. J.M.

My parents owned 2 homes. Sean Holden sold them both in a short period of time and with amazing results. There were legal issues involved in the sale of one of these homes and Sean met every problem head on and found a solution that worked for everyone. Sean was available when I called and if I left a message, email or text Sean would always return my messages promptly. Sean was always accommodating and even met with my mother at her nursing home at times that were convenient for her. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Sean to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, hardworking, conscientious and personable Realtor who knows exactly what it takes to sell a home. Nancy F.

My wife and I recently used Sean Holden for the purchase and sale of an apartment in Vancouver and he did an awesome job for us. He was very professional and provided us with excellent advice and guidance for our new purchase and sale. He worked very hard for us and got us the deal that we were hoping for our new purchase, and a good price for the sale of our old apartment. We are most grateful to Sean and would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling in Vancouver. We will certainly be using Sean again whenever we buy or sell property. Richard N.

I am blessed that I was fortunate to have Sean Holden as my trusted real estate agent. It's very important that a home buyer or seller have someone with experience on their side working with them. Sean took me to over 20 homes before I purchased my beloved home. Sean guided me from being emotional, and he showed me the potential of properties. He made me listen to road sounds during day and night. To be aware of commercial trucks at 4 am. if you purchase near businesses. To be aware of transit pros amd cons. I will be forever grateful to Sean that I purchased my home even though I would have given up on finding a place ( emotional times). I have recommended Sean to several people. Everyone thinks of Sean as extended family as he cares about all of us. Thank you Sean for your guidance and for caring!!

Sean is an outstanding real estate agent. I’ve used his services for two purchases and one sale. He is super knowledgeable about the market and about the construction and details of various types of homes/apartments. His knowledge has been ever so helpful and helped us secure the right home at the best possible price. I also received an excellent price for the apartment sold and this was attributable to Sean’s planning and knowledge of the local market. He is great to deal with and ever the optimist. Thank you Sean!

Sean was absolutely wonderful. As first time buyers we were unsure of what we wanted, or where we wanted to be. But with just a few showings, he was able to distil what was most important to us. Sean was so knowledgable and helpful walking us through all of our questions and concerns throughout the process. He was able to find the perfect home for us. We cannot recommend Sean enough.

Choosing Sean as my realtor over the past two decades has been a consistently excellent decision. Throughout multiple property sales and purchases, Sean has exemplified professionalism and a profound understanding of the real estate market, ensuring every transaction was optimized for success. His attention to detail and commitment to open communication have made each process smooth and inclusive. What sets Sean apart is his empathy and dedication. His support during the emotionally charged sale of my mother's house was unparalleled, making a potentially stressful time manageable and showing genuine care for our well-being. I highly recommend Sean to anyone looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond. His blend of professional acumen and compassionate service is rare and highly valued.

Sean Holden did a wonderful job selling our house. Listing it during the pandemic, at a time when our tenants refused to allow viewings, was a challenge, but Sean really thought "outside the box". He went above and beyond for us in terms of support as well, and we were very happy with the result. Would 100% recommend him!

I am writing to express our sincere gratitude for Sean Holden's outstanding work in helping me sell my house recently. The real estate market in Canada has been very slow these years, but Sean Holden was able to sell my house quickly and for a good price. I know that this was not an easy task. He had to deal with a lot of challenges, including the fact that I needed to sell my house quickly to close on a new condo. But he never gave up, and he always went the extra mile to get the job done. I am particularly grateful for his patience and understanding. I know that I can be a demanding client, but Sean Holden always took the time to answer my questions and address my concerns. Sean Holden made me feel like I was your only client, and I know that I wasn't. I also appreciate his honesty and integrity. Sean Holden never made any promises that he couldn't keep, and he always gave me realistic expectations. I felt like I could trust him completely, and that meant a lot to me. I am so glad that I chose Sean Holden to be my real estate agent. He made the process of selling my house as smooth and stress-free as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house.

When I interviewed Sean to be my real estate agent, I noticed he made a big effort in talking about my needs, what I wanted, which area I liked, and some other things related to buying a house. With that information in hand, he made an effort to choose places that matched what I wanted, and not just drag me through every property available. Great service! Thanks Sean.

Sean is a professional, positive and-supportive real estate agent. Using his great expertise and knowledge, he guided us patiently through the process of an estate sale, saving us considerable time and effort, and alleviating our stress. Others had suggested removing furniture and painting, but Sean immediately understood the value of the home as it was, and how to show it at its best. We made minor changes, and sold it on the first day it was on the market. Sean is a great communicator who was immediately available whenever we had questions, and worked with all parties involved to ensure a smooth transition. It was a pleasure and delight to work with him and we have nothing but gratitude for his efforts. We highly recommend Sean and his services to any others who wish to sell their homes.

My partner and I are grateful to work with Sean. He has been a wonderful guide throughout this complex and changing real-estate market in Vancouver. We wouldn't have wanted anybody else to help us with our purchase. He is ever thoughtful, patient, and knowledgeable. It took us more than a year to find the place that we wanted and not once did we feel any pressure from Sean to 'just pick a place'. You'd be lucky to get this busy realtor on your team. Thanks for all your help Sean!

Sean was great from start to finish. He takes the time to listen and understand both who you are and what your needs are around housing. He will guide you through the process as much as needed, and pick up those phone calls when you're having a moment of uncertainty. He is communicative, punctual, honest, professional, thorough, funny and kind! Sean will always provide his honest opinion about the places you see with him -- I never found him to be looking for a quick sell or to exert any pressure whatsoever during the buying process. I can't recommend Sean enough if you are looking for a realtor in Vancouver!
