Trystan explores developments in and around the Tri-Cities, with new condo and townhome construction on the horizon.
Hi. I'm Tristan King, I sell real estate in Greater Vancouver area primarily Tri-Cities area. Yeah it's going to school at BCIT studying marketing as originally going to get into a different kind of sales career. As I was going to get my ba from there. My dad's always been interested. We're having a conversation one day and he's like, you know, why don't we, why don't you try selling real estate? And then from there, yeah committed to going through the licensing and the rest is history. He, it always develop properties. Like we always lived in properties for kind of like one or two years he buy renovate.
Then kind of sell off the property. Move his way up the property scale. There's always been like a passion for Real Estate engraved in me. What's funny is actually saw a photo or something where I saw my project, I guess it was back in grade 5 where I wrote a kind of a letter to myself where I'd want it to be a realtor kind of at that time. And then when I got into real estate I got really excited about it. I was 22. So fresh out of ya business school is challenging but you know I had a good team leader at that time. And what he told me is that is
His you know, like as long as you're educated and you know, you study in that kind of thing. People will trust you, if you're knowledgeable, it's quite fulfilling when you meet with the buyer or a seller, you kind of identify their motivation and why they're wanting to move. Everyone's different every day is different. Doesn't always feel like, you know, I'm working working. Like, I really enjoy doing what I do. Yeah. So I would say, I've always had that hard work ever since I first started, but I would say you have my customer service I've gained more.
Or experience. I've been through a lot more situations and then just my advisement seeing more situation are things that I think my clients find Value in, I spent probably Kenmore Elementary years of school in Coquitlam and then as meant High School more inverter be, there's a difference between like learning and area in knowing it real estate wise and then also like kind of growing up in an area and knowing where you know the parts are like the gas station, that kind of stuff is hard to teach to kind of show the pros.
In potential even cons to a neighborhood. Kind of, if you spent time in those neighborhoods, it's much more easy to relay. It's broken down into Coquitlam, core, Coquitlam, and Port Moody. So I'd say Port Coquitlam. You have kind of better, affordability of not area, because little bit further east, very accessible Community to kind of get into Port, Moody Coquitlam, into indepent Meadows, that kind of thing. And then he got Port Moody and that's where you have, you know, the ocean. You got the, the mountains of trails. So it, you know, you could really
Lee live in any of core Coquitlam, Port Moody and Coquitlam and still take advantage of everything. The Tri-Cities house offers a whole. So what I like about kind of the more suburb area Coquitlam Port, Moody Port Coquitlam, is that you're still close West and you're quite accessible to jump onto the highway 1. You sleep in downtown, you know, you can go east to the Fraser Valley sort of thing, but you have more of a little bit more of a laid-back, kind of Lifestyle, less density. And
And I would say Port Moody. They've done a really good job of developing you know adding kind of all these master planned communities, everything like that. So I would say that at least in kind of that Port Moody Center area. You're going to continue to feel a lot of revitalization and it's exciting. I think people would like to have something different kind of in the area. It's definitely bringing cool twist in there. They think Burke whitlam has a different vibe than your brentwood's, your Metro towns, that kind of thing. People are wanting to move out and still get like that suburb kind of glue.
Ding, right? So a project like this, offering everything that's offering. It's great. How do you set yourself apart that not from everyone else? Like what's, what try single? Yeah, I mean there's a lot of Realtors definitely in Greater Vancouver, but I think that, you know, if you're providing people with value Sound Advice, doing the right thing I think is quite easy to separate cell and actually got a referral to a client not too long ago. It's actually this year from one of my past clients they had been looking for a prop.
The kind of with another agent for the past eight months, when I first met with them, they seemed rather frustrated in terms of their property search and we started looking and, you know, end up finding property kind of Women Within that three weeks, and it was just, it was really rewarding because I could tell that they weren't going to give up, but they were quite frustrated with the process. I always tell my clients that you always, you don't want to buy a property that you feel like you're gonna have to sell within the next two years because as we know, Vancouver real estate can go up down. But overall, if you do have kind of like a long,
Holding period. Typically always do well as opposed to what do you see coming in here next and it was a good thing. That depends who you ask. I think that person a lot of the residents would prefer take deep what's kept Central Coquitlam. These larger lots more space. But at the same time, I feel that there is a need to have more attainable price points in these neighborhoods for people to kind of be able to buy into one thing. Portrait he's doing really well in kind of keeping that vibe in that car.
Culture. Is that the amenities that they're kind of building, like whether it's a breweries, you know, just kind of the different shops giving it that, still that small time. Father, small-town Vibe is being one thing that they're balancing really well. I feel for the area, obviously, you know, like they got the mountains in the ocean which is a huge draw to the area. So people are looking kind of more for that at least in the city, kind of, the more importantly Center area are really drawn to, you know, those items at Port Moody has
How often would you end up taking a client here? The peroxide not often enough.
