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.

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!

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.

I have used Sean as my realtor and voice of real estate reason for several property purchases and sales over the past 15+ years. Before employing Sean I tried other realtors and none of them even came close to the service Sean provided me. And I think it's more than just luck that in every sale, we got over what I was asking. If you're looking for a great realtor, look no further. Sean is your answer!

Sean has helped us buy and sell three properties over the years. He is unfailingly efficient, available and responsive. Sean is also incredibly knowledgeable and well-connected in the Vancouver Real Estate community, and he leveraged this experience to great effect on our behalf.

Sean was our realtor on two occasions when we bought and sold our Vancouver homes. He was our listing agent as well as our agent on our new purchase. We truly valued his professionalism and experience in guiding us through both transactions that went very smoothly. Sean went out of his way to offer us excellent advice and sought to get us the best values every time. He is truly an excellent realtor and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a realtor who will work hard for his clients.

Sean Holden was recommended to me when I was looking to sell an apartment. Sean provided guidance through the early part of the process (especially as I was overseas and dealing with this remotely), and later as I came closer to being ready to sell. When it came time to present to market, again Sean guided me through the process and kept me fully informed of interest in the property and in the market generally. After the offer was accepted Sean again provided guidance on next steps and preparations for the final day. Sean is responsive to email and calls. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sean.

Sean was recommended to us when we were looking to purchase our first home. We were very nervous at first, asking a lot of questions and having quite a list of expectations. Buying our home with Sean was a great experience; he always made time to talk through all the details and listen to our concerns. We never felt rushed or pushed to make any decisions. It's very clear that Sean's primary concern is the well being of his clients. We couldn't have been happier to have Sean as our agent.

A long overdue review for Sean, who helped my wife and I buy our first apartment this March. Sean was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. His background as an engineer and his years operating in the city have given him firsthand knowledge of literally almost every building in that we inquired on. Although my wife and I were eager to complete on several apartments, and Sean could surely have converted us into a quick sale, he preached patience and talked us back from the brink of making a couple offers we would have come to regret. Even after completion, Sean has been so gracious as to offer his advice on navigating a couple strata-related situations that rookies such my wife and I felt we needed his experience on. We can't say enough good things about Sean, and would highly recommend him.

I've been working with Sean for the past couple of decades during which he has helped me to buy and sell a number of homes. I really appreciate that he always takes the time to explain the numerous tricky steps, particular this most recent time. I'm also very grateful for his extensive use of electronic document signing! With just a few clicks I was able to complete and return documents to him super quickly and painlessly! :) His knowledge and patience are unsurpassed. I can't think of anyone else I would rather have assist me in putting together any future home purchases or offers. It has always been a pleasure working with Sean and I will never hesitate to recommend him to anyone! :D
