Between the two of them, they can offer a full range of services to their clients.

Tips for Successful White Rock Real Estate Transactions

Then Lance segues into the topic of the unique engineering challenges people face when buying or selling homes on the South Slope's steep inclines. A perfect example is the tall, narrow homes that are becoming popular in this area. Lance goes on to tackle related questions such as:

How much living space exists in these tall, narrow homes?
Why do I need an engineer to put under pins beneath my home?
How will construction on my home affect my neighbors?
What is involved in putting under pins beneath my home?
How much does a home in White Rock or West Van cost?

Lance explains his thoughts about why White Rock properties are such a hot commodity in today's market, and why buyers from the Greater Vancouver area are flocking to buy homes here.

From advantages that White Rock life offers new residents to life changes that create ideal circumstances for selling, anyone would be hard pressed to argue against this being the perfect time get into White Rock real estate. A lot of people spend time looking at the available properties for sale, but as Lance points out, there is one type of buyer who is more likely to go through with the transaction.

Then Lance goes on to wrap up the episode by talking about the lifespan of some of these new homes, and how long it will take for new trends to pop up in redevelopment of current properties.
