An artist canvas is a lot like a community filled, all the various Shades and Hues all working together to make a colorful and dynamic environments. And just like a canvas as a paint layers down, it grows and evolves. Similar to a community, accepting a new identity aspirations. Each brush stroke is carefully considered curated to find the perfect outcome.

Newton through creativity. And art is painting, a picture of unity and growth breaking stereotypes and reframing their identity.

Me, I've just made my very own Mona Lisa. Why you think?

I mean it's a bit avant-garde, but

I like it.

Huh.

Sorry, specifically, Newton's Theory, ever since I've added in Canada, people have been telling me stories about Siri not all of it. Good. But I don't judge a book by it's cover, which is why today, we're teaming up a local realtor, her unconditional to show us around the real sir. One of the biggest cities and BC will be starting our tour at Bear Creek Park. We're heading towards Syria, Central and ending our tour. I wanted the most amazing communities at Sylvan Heights. So grab your

Rushes in your easel because it's time to paint Siri in the new life.

Grand. Thank you so much for joining us today. Yeah. How is Suri broken down? Sorry, is broken down into, you can say sorry, Newton, sorry Central. There's Guilford area and then we go towards the South Surrey area which is a little bit Pasha. You can say his new not too Posh area, it's getting there. Okay it's slowly it'll get there. You're after you're a population is growing especially in certain what

Do you love most about selling real estate? What's it that really gets it? It's all about seeing the smile on my clients face when I hand them over the keys. Yeah. It's just a beautiful feeling. You know especially the first time home buyers, they've been renting to and you know how they talk about. They feel like all their mortgage payments are just going to waste it's like paying 100% interest. So it feels great when you end up, helping them buy a property that has everything that they're looking for.

Possession day is my favorite and the whole process of selling home Crown. I have loved getting to know you have better primary excited to check out Bear Creek, which will be our first session Nation today. Oh, I can't wait to show you. I was not expecting to see something so beautiful. So like entrenched in nature with in Surrey.

What type of properties are around? Bear Creek, it's mostly single-family homes. People are looking for little bit larger. Lots, you know, bigger houses with you know, baseman sweets, mortgage helpers, there is mortgage helpers here or so under percent so that Prime client Alfred a Knopf. More housing is people who are setting their town houses. They want to move into a single-family home. It's perfect for Pluto's people. That's who we're seeing coming into this episode. Yeah. Why are people getting by being a part of this community?

T, you know, love of nature because they want to be close to this park and people, they love being in this area because everything is close by five minutes away from a King George station and access to certain area, which is a hub of all the commercial, you know, businesses and everything. So it's just Central of everything. How frequently do properties actually become available to buy in this neighborhood. This neighborhood is high in demand. So if any property comes up it doesn't stay in the market for too long. It's so great to see that even though we are

Center of everything. There is a desire to preserve nature and keep these attendees for the whole Community. I did see those skyscrapers in the distance though. That's so Central. Yo, check it out. Absolutely, I want to check that. It's go. So what story Central have than that Bear Creek? Doesn't lot of high-rises and has no bears. Yep.

So disappointment decide that I did not see any bears at Bear Creek. It was pretty dang, beautiful. These kind of Open Spaces filled with a minute. He's for the community seems to be quintessential surgery that nature coupled with the single-family homes. And offer means you do have to act fast if you want a slice of this part of surgery, if you weren't such a realtor is what would you do? I would be pursuing my acting career. What is it about?

Acting or the Earth's that appeals to. It's all about. You know, you do. You get to live a different character every single time you do a different role. I would say acting actually help me open up in front of my clients, you know it's like you're not shy, no more. You're just opening up to clients or your clients feel comfortable, they open up to you and it just helps me qualify them a little bit better.

Driving towards the skyscrapers in the distance. I was a bit nervous. I had always heard that Suri Central was one of the less desirable neighborhoods across BC. So I was kind of intrigued a crowns enthusiasm to show me the place, we are definitely not in Bear Creek anymore. Absolutely, not this is sorry, Central Downtown of searing. What is going on in Syria, Central and sorry Central there is

Lots and lots of buildings going up, low-rise high-rise townhouses, SkyTrain stations are closed by, you know, there's Public Library, City Hall, everything is close by it's growing, it's growing every year, manatees transport property, it has all three, it's all three. That's right looking around, I'm seeing predominantly residential units where all the commercial properties that we'd expect to see in somewhere, like Central surgery.

City of series focusing on more residential units, priority isn't commercial units, because people who want to work, they can take SkyTrain do to us downtown and they can work from there or lot of developers are making a very convenient for a lot of residents to work from home. Right? Because most of the units over here, one-bedroom two-bedroom, who are the developers and what are they actually building here? So, there's a lot of developers coming from Vancouver area, some local developers, all the focusing on is

High-rise building Residential Properties more like. So which includes you know condos 1, bedroom 2 bedroom, condos even townhouses. Main focus is just growing. Sorry. Central area, you live in sorry for about 20 years, 20 years yes. What was here before when you first came here, there's no high-rises building here. Maybe you see one or two high-rise building and demographic of the whole series Central change a lot in past decade. I would say this area was not one of the best areas.

Has to be considered where people bought houses or not wasn't their first choice. Yeah now it's one of the Prime locations in Surrey Central. Kind of changing the perspective of surgery. That's right. Yeah it's really unique to be standing in a city that's kind of been built around you. Where there never was on before. I would love to get check out something completely different though. What else you got to show me today? I have a perfect place for you Sullivan area. Let's go check it out.

And so, it all makes sense, residential high-rises with major public transport. Hubs, what is not to love the sir essential that people had warned me about maybe a thing of the past because, well, I saw during my visit was a neighborhood full of life, growth and opportunity.

What made you want to be a realtor? I've been in sales since I was 19 years old. And I like to challenge myself and I'm very competitive. So after being in car industry, for a long time, I realized that it's time to move on. Go to next step and start selling houses.

Leaving the high rises behind us. We made our way further south, the community of Sullivan Heights and with a name like that, how could I not be excited after all? It's not every day you find the neighborhood in Surrey, BC named after a Gaelic surname,

It is so much quieter here than it was in Syria Central. I can see why everyone is flocking out to Sullivan's. Absolutely. People love living in this area, especially the neighborhood. It's so quiet. This Greenery everywhere. One thing that stands out to me is that the houses on this side of the street seemed completely different to the houses over on this side of the street, is this typical in this neighborhood? Yeah, there's a variety of different kind of houses. This is a little bit smaller detached homes.

Those are full-size lever. Bigger lot bigger homes price varies between both houses close to million dollar difference but it's a community it seems to be able to offer something for all we're moving here. Absolutely. What about mortgage helpers? How common are they in this neighborhood? Oh, very common. Most of the houses here, they have authorized one legal sweet. And some of them you can probably find unauthorized register Suites as well, which is great for people, especially with interest rates going up.

It takes a toll on a lot of homeowners, so having mortgage helpers, it's huge for them. Is there any development expected in the area? Or is this kind of it for the community plan? Just a couple blocks down the road, there's small combination of small homes which their redeveloping into town houses. So there's multiple tunnels is coming up. What city is trying to do? Make the most of the space that they have available. How does Sullivan Heights compared to other neighborhoods in Newton

Sullivan Heights is a little bit higher rent luxurious neighborhood where you find lots of single family homes and townhouses. There's not very many condos in this area so a lot of people they want to upgrade from condos and little bit older Townhomes. They ended up coming to this neighborhood with smaller, single family and large single-family homes. There's quite a difference between the three communities that we've seen today from the nature different community of Bear Creek, and the City Vibe.

Very Central with those high-rises, the students, the investors versus here at Sylvan Heights. You know, multiple types of properties fit for all different types of Home. Seekers the big question I have though is what is the future of Newton haven't store? I have a great master plan project called Silva. It's half as salt. Let's go check out the project halfway sold it. So obvious places in the mant. Just absolutely

Homes in the heart of Surrey and this must be the new Newton that you were telling me all about. Yes it is. We're looking at a pre-sale project. One of the biggest presale project in certain what is a pre-sale project even mean? So it's homes that you can buy before they're built, you have option to purchase your home with a deposit. They'll complete in three to four years and then you pay the rest, then you pay the

Best when they're completed. What are you getting for your money by coming to a development? Like, silver 3, Silva is in the heart of Newton area, this particular project. There's square footage is massive, you know, anywhere from, you know, for two bedroom, they go for anywhere from 700 to 800 to 900 square feet. Which that kind of condo units are very, very tough to find especially in Surrey Central area as well. One or two-bedroom are close to 700.

And you don't find anything blur, you know eight to nine hundred square feet in story Central Area. If I was a first-time homeowner and I wanted to presale somewhere. Why should I do it here over Abbotsford? What's the what's the benefit? It's just a growth how fast the certain is growing. Also the pricing, right? If you want the most out of your investment. Sorry. Sorry Newton. Sorry Central overall. Sorry grew is going way faster.

Compared to cities like, Abbotsford Chilliwack or other areas. So, this is the, this is the appreciation model. Yes, unlike any car that you might sell that loses money straight away. Straight. This is game. You value all the time. Absolutely. What is special or unique about silver. So everything is caused by, it's a very diverse Community here. A lot of businesses restaurants. There's Trails. There's Parks. There's Bear Creek Park on a walking distance so everything's closed.

Bye? What a server, Don to attract those who are looking to downsize, but are nervous about losing the space. They have by providing extra patio, space enclosed balcony, which you can use throughout the whole year. You don't have to worry about rain cold or stone. People are downsizing. They don't feel like they're downsizing because the extra space are getting outdoors and indoors. This is huge. That's massive. Yeah. Current. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us around Siri specifically Newton today. It has been

fascinating to learn all about the new developments, the high-rise in the city, and of course, the nature of Bear Creek. I, however, I'm starving. And I've seen some great restaurants, so, so we got some food. Hey, I got a perfect place for you. It's good. That's what kind of food we thinking. Let's go.

When I tell people about the neighborhood's, I visit during the course of this series Suri, always got a raised eyebrow Swifty followed with warnings of the gangs and the violence, but that's not the story. I saw during my outing from the family-friendly community of Bear Creek with its abundance of amenities to the intentional and reconceptualize SRI Central. It was becoming very evident that the surgery I was cautioned about

It is on the way out, which is great news for one of the fastest growing cities in Canada.

My day work ran revealed a vibrant and evolving City that should be seen in person instead of talked about around the water cooler, a City full of surprises and just like peeling back. The layers of an onion, much more than meets the eye.
