Buying presale means making a major financial decision about a home that may not exist yet. That's why my job isn't simply to find you a project. It's to help you understand what you're buying before you commit.
I help families compare new condos, townhomes and presales across the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver — looking at the project, location, price, floor plan, deposit structure, completion timing and long-term fit. And after you sign, I stay involved through the path to completion and keys.
I've helped more than 450 families purchase over $250M in new homes. Before real estate, I spent 10 years working with the City of Surrey in planning and bylaws. That experience changed how I look at development — I naturally ask questions about how a project fits the neighbourhood, what's happening around it and what may matter years from now, not just what looks good on launch day.
Today I lead The Presale Properties Group and founded the Vancouver Presale Expo. I work in English, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu. My role is simple: help you understand the options, avoid the wrong ones and make the right decision with confidence.
The sales team knows its project better than almost anyone. That's valuable. But its job is to sell that development. My job is to help you decide whether that development makes sense for you — comparing it with alternatives, questioning the numbers, looking critically at the floor plan and helping you understand the purchase terms. If I think the project makes sense, I'll explain why. If I think another project is stronger, I'll say so. If I think you should wait, I'll say that too. Good advice isn't measured by how quickly you buy — it's measured by whether you still feel good about the decision when you get the keys.
Most buyers don't need more listings. They need better context. I help buyers think through questions like: Is this project fairly priced relative to the alternatives? Does this floor plan actually work? Does the deposit schedule fit my cash flow? What purchase terms deserve closer attention? What costs should I prepare for at completion? Is the incentive meaningful or mostly marketing? How does this neighbourhood fit my goal? What happens if my circumstances change before completion? Should I buy now, wait or compare something else? What should I prepare for at the deficiency walkthrough? Presale can be a strong option, but only when the project, timing, finances and buyer all fit together.
Signing the contract isn't the end of a presale purchase — in many cases, it's the beginning of a multi-year timeline. I stay connected through deposit milestones, construction updates, completion preparation, financing conversations, walkthrough timing and possession. When a question requires a lawyer, accountant, lender or other specialist, I help make sure you're asking the right person the right question.
Before real estate, I spent 10 years working with the City of Surrey in planning and bylaws. That doesn't make me a city planner today, but it gave me a useful lens. When I look at a project, I'm not just looking at finishes and incentives — I'm thinking about location, surrounding development, approvals, land use, neighbourhood change and how the home may function when it's actually completed. Presale isn't only about what looks exciting today. It's about what still makes sense years from now.
First-time buyers. Buying your first home comes with enough uncertainty already. I help you understand the timeline, deposits, purchase terms, completion costs, location and whether presale is actually the right way for you to enter the market.
Investors. I help investors look past the marketing story and evaluate the fundamentals — price, nearby resale, rent potential, deposit leverage, assignment provisions, completion risk and the eventual exit strategy. No guaranteed returns. Just better questions and clearer numbers.
Move-up buyers. If you're moving from a condo into a townhome or planning several years ahead, presale can help create time. But timing your existing home, deposits, mortgage and eventual completion matters. I help you see the whole sequence.
First-generation & newcomer buyers. Sometimes the buyer understands the process in English but the parents helping with the deposit don't. I work in English, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu so the people involved in the decision can understand it together. No family member should be writing a cheque for something they don't understand.
My core focus is presale and new construction across Surrey, Langley, South Surrey, White Rock, Delta, Abbotsford, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Maple Ridge, Chilliwack and surrounding communities. These aren't interchangeable markets. A project that's right for an investor may be wrong for a first-time buyer. A great family townhome may be a mediocre rental. A strong building doesn't automatically make every floor plan a good buy. Context matters.
I lead The Presale Properties Group, a multilingual real estate team helping buyers navigate presale and new construction across the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver. Our team works in English, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu. Alongside me you'll work with Ravish Passy and Sarb Grewal — agents who live and work in the communities we serve. Our shared approach is simple: help the buyer understand the decision before asking them to make it.
I founded the Vancouver Presale Expo to help raise the level of education and conversation around BC's presale industry. The event brings together agents, developers and industry professionals. For me, that work matters because a more informed industry should create more informed buyers.
Considering a presale? Start with a conversation, not a showroom. Tell me what you're considering. I'll help you understand the market, compare the options and identify the questions worth asking before you commit. Book a Buyer Strategy Call.
