Best Realtor for Couples Buying a Home in BC
November 16, 2025
Best Realtor for Couples Buying a Home in BC
Buying a home as a couple is exciting—but it also brings new dynamics, different opinions, and big financial decisions. Whether you’re newly married, planning your first purchase together, or combining households after years apart, the right realtor makes all the difference.
Here’s what to look for in a realtor when you’re buying as a couple in British Columbia—and why Mansour Real Estate Group has become a trusted choice for partners across the Fraser Valley.
1. Look for a Realtor Who Listens to Both of You
Every couple has two sets of priorities—sometimes aligned, sometimes not. A great realtor doesn’t just sell homes—they help you find common ground. They listen carefully to both voices, clarify what matters most to each of you, and guide you toward a property that truly fits both lifestyles.
At Mansour Real Estate Group, we specialize in helping couples navigate these decisions calmly and collaboratively. It’s about balance, not persuasion.
2. Choose Experience Over Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is good—but experience is better. Couples often need nuanced advice on things like title ownership, mortgage qualification, and protecting contributions. An experienced realtor understands these layers and coordinates with lawyers, lenders, and accountants to ensure nothing gets overlooked.
Our team has handled hundreds of couple and family transactions across BC. We know how to make the process smooth, even when the paperwork (and emotions) get complicated.
3. Find Someone Who Understands BC’s Property Laws
Marriage and real estate intersect under BC’s Family Law Act. This law determines how property is owned and divided if the relationship ends. A knowledgeable realtor doesn’t give legal advice—but they do help you structure your purchase smartly, ensuring title, contributions, and agreements align with your long-term goals.
That means understanding things like joint tenancy vs. tenants-in-common, excluded property, and the implications of buying before or after marriage.
4. Prioritize Clear, Calm Communication
When two people are making a life-changing purchase, clear communication is everything. Your realtor should simplify decisions, not add stress. That means explaining each step—from mortgage pre-approval to possession day—in plain language, without pressure or jargon.
Couples often tell us they value our calm, structured process. We make sure both partners feel informed and empowered throughout the journey.
5. Choose a Realtor With a Strong Network
The best realtors do more than write contracts—they connect you with the right professionals. From family lawyers to financial planners, mortgage brokers, and home inspectors, a strong network ensures you’re supported from every angle.
At Mansour Real Estate Group, we’ve built trusted partnerships across BC’s real estate and financial industries. When you work with us, you gain access to a full circle of experienced advisors who share your best interests.
6. Make Sure They Understand Your “Why”
Buying a home isn’t just about square footage and price—it’s about lifestyle and vision. Maybe you’re planning for kids, downsizing after marriage, or looking for an investment together. The right realtor asks about your long-term goals and tailors the strategy to fit, rather than chasing every listing that pops up.
7. Look for a Proven Track Record
In an active market like the Fraser Valley, results matter. Look for a realtor with strong negotiation experience, local expertise, and a reputation for integrity. Testimonials, reviews, and awards can tell you a lot about how a realtor handles pressure and delivers results.
Mohamed Mansour and his team rank consistently among the Top 1% of Realtors in the Fraser Valley, with over $750 million in sales and 20+ years of local market expertise.
8. Ask About Their Process for Couples
Buying as a couple means every step should include both of you. Ask how the realtor manages communication—do they include both partners in emails, meetings, and updates? Do they provide written summaries and joint decision points? Transparency builds confidence and prevents misunderstandings.
9. Look for Emotional Intelligence
Buying a home can bring up emotions—especially if one partner is leaving a longtime home or making a bigger financial leap. The right realtor recognizes those emotions and helps you navigate them with empathy. They give you space to think and never push before you’re ready.
10. Choose a Team That Feels Like a Partnership
When you buy a home together, you’re building a life—not just closing a deal. You deserve a realtor who treats you the same way—with honesty, collaboration, and care.
At Mansour Real Estate Group, our mission is to make every couple’s home journey smooth, informed, and rewarding. Whether you’re buying your first condo, upgrading to a family home, or investing in your future, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
In Summary
The best realtor for couples in BC isn’t just skilled—they’re understanding, experienced, and invested in your success as a team. With the right guidance, buying a home together can strengthen your partnership and set the foundation for years of shared memories.
Reach out to Mansour Real Estate Group to start your home search with trusted professionals who know how to balance both sides of the conversation—and deliver results that make you both proud.

What Could Happen to Your Property Value When a New Development Arrives?
November 14, 2025
The short-term impact of new developments on property values.
Timelines come into play when answering this question. As Dosanjh says, “If you have a whole bunch of brand-new developments completing at the exact same time, the way that we're seeing it happening in the likes of, say, Brentwood or the City of Surrey, you do see the values of homes start coming down, but that's a short-term blip.” A sudden influx of new inventory could push property values down briefly, as Dosanjh notes. But that is not the whole story. “We're at an interesting moment right now where we have just this massive supply that is coming up for completion because of the way the market just took off in 2022 in the pre-sale space. But over the long term – and you've got to think long term in the Metro Vancouver market – it all balances back to equilibrium,” elaborates Dosanjh. That means considering property values in concert with your future plans. “If [an] individual called me, I would ask him or her what their short to medium to long-term goals are. Are they planning on moving tomorrow? Then maybe, yes, you might be affected,” says Dosanjh. But if you plan to stay in your neighbourhood for the long term, you’ll likely see your property values rise again. In fact, if you live in a single-family home, land assemblers may come knocking offering large sums of money for your coveted property.The long-term impact of new developments on property values.
Real estate in Metro Vancouver is best viewed as a long-term investment, according to Dosanjh. Therefore, a more useful analysis of neighbouring property values when a new development arrives would look ahead a few years. “I'm on the side of the argument that I think any new development in a neighbourhood is actually positive for the community at large,” says Dosanjh. “What actually could happen over time is, with the rise of all this new development coming to your area, it's going to bring a refreshedness to the neighbourhood that can actually get more younger people wanting to live there,” he adds. Therefore, you should consider the fact that adding new development in your neighbourhood could actually make it more desirable, which in turn attracts more people, which would drive up your property value. In fact, one of the factors that BC assessment considers when valuing your home (which is not the same thing as the market value of your home, but it works as a useful starting point), are improvements to the properties around you. Adding a new development could count toward that. Consider the case of Vancouver’s Olympic Village. This one-bedroom condo was initially built in 2013, sold first for $314,000 and was listed for $699,000 in 2025. That is more than twice the first price, and in the intervening 12 years, the area has seen plenty of new construction. “If you're looking to still live [in Greater Vancouver] for the foreseeable future, it's not something that I would worry about. Especially living where we live in Vancouver, where land in general is in such short supply,” says Manraj. Beyond property value itself, other aspects of new development could make your home more desirable for potential buyers, too. If you’re not convinced, Dosanjh recommends looking at comparable areas and developments to yours. For example, Mount Pleasant, Main St. in East Vancouver, Fraser St., Port Moody and many other areas in Greater Vancouver have seen influxes of new development, amenities and infrastructure. Rather than declining in value, they have all become highly sought-after places to live. Development often in turn leads to “[bringing] a whole new energy in, and then all of a sudden, you got Breka opening up their fourth location in Surrey City Centre, which is now going to have a 24 hour coffee shop, right…?” says Dosanjh. “There's just a lot of pluses that come with that.” So, instead of thinking that new development will push down property values, it is possible it will add amenities that raise your home’s desirability. While property values in Metro Vancouver do undergo short-term oscillations, the overall trend has been a sustained increase. When we consider that land is limited in Greater Vancouver, it makes sense that existing properties would be in constant demand. Because of the area’s beautiful surroundings and concentration of jobs, there is a steady influx of people looking to live here, meaning your property will always be appealing to someone.HOME EVALUATION
