Richmond

Sometimes a place leaves a mark on a person and keeps calling them back. Vincent Lim was born in Richmond, left twice and finally found his way home. Good news for Homeseekers in the area looking for a Richmond expert – there are few people who know the city better.

Real estate wasn’t always on the cards for Vincent. He started his career in the world of finance, honing his negotiating skills and learning all he could about personal finance options. But after seven years, he realized he needed a career change.

“I didn't want another ten years to pass by, climbing the corporate ladder and living a life of regret,” he says. "Real estate was the only thing that came up. There was no plan B."

Vincent hasn’t looked back and it’s clear he found his true calling. Since 2017, he’s consistently been in the top 10% of realtors in the Lower Mainland. He’s built a loyal client base, offering services in both English and Mandarin.

For Vincent, Richmond is about family. Besides a few years in Asia, his childhood was spent here. Much of his extended family lives here. When he had children of his own, he was faced with the decision to stay in his new home of Vancouver, or head back to his old stomping grounds. He moved back to Richmond, landing in Steveston.

"I think the biggest difference is the lifestyle,” he says. “It's a lot quieter here, a smaller community as compared to the hustle and bustle of Central Richmond."

As Richmond continues to grow, Homeseekers are fortunate to have Vincent there to guide them through the twists and turns of the market.
