BOOK ELEVATOR
If you didn't already discuss it with us or read it in the strata docs, make sure you reach out to strata and book the elevator for when you plan the Big Move.
CLEANERS
A professional cleaner can make your life a whole lot easier, whether you're booking them for your move-in or if you don't want to worry about the mess you're leaving behind. Get them in for a move-out clean. Our go to crew is Obsession Cleaning Services. Give them a ring or find them on Insta.
COMMUNICATION
No link, just friendly advice: Communication is always key, but when preparing for the big day, it's crucial. The last thing you want is a hiccup that could have been easily avoided with proper communication. Whether it's with the movers, your agent, your family, or anyone else, there are many moving parts on moving day, from possession times to, well, moving your whole life. That's why we aim to make this move, and all your moves, as seamless as possible.
CLOSING DAY
KEYS
We've got you covered here. 😉 We'll make the key handover seamless and help eliminate any added stress on the Big Day.
LAWYERS
We most likely have discussed this part already but you'll need to sign the title transfer docs with a lawyer. We suggest making this appointment asap after subject removal to avoid hiccups. Hit up our go-to Lawyer, Karl Doering
Don't let hunger get in the way
Skip The Dishes is the obvious lay up but if your looking to order food from a sweet new local spot, then make sure to shoot us a DM and we'll get you a list of some local options that'll keep the moving crew happy 😉
PARTY TIME!
Who doesn't like a good old-fashioned housewarming party? We've got you covered here to help you showcase your new home. Just hit us up, and we'd love to add some spice to the housewarming party.
Take the mail stress out of the move with Canada Posts Mail Forwarding System.
Last thing you want is to have to deal with ICBC, am I right? Make sure to update your address with them within 10 days of moving. Link Here
Oops, we were wrong. The last people you truly want to deal with are the CRA. Am I right?! Update now and save yourself the hassle when you see the CRA calling your phone. Link Here.
Make sure your vote actually counts and update your addy with Elections BC 😉
Make sure to give BC Hydro a buzz and set up an account or transfer your existing before possession day.

WHEEL OF REFERRAL FORTUNE
m.
"We had many questions and were even skeptical to buy during the peak of the market but Dan was very transparent and reassuring the entire time. With the right plan and strategy Dan was able to get us our dream home under asking price! We could not be happier with our purchase and we have continued to rave and recommend Dan to our friends and family (we even received $500 for doing so)!"
N.
"It’s very confusing and almost scary in the home purchasing process especially if you’re a first time homebuyer like my partner & I. So many little things to know and so many confusing terms I’ve never even heard of, but of course Dan is there right by your side giving you a hand in explaining things and also helping securing your dream place."
H.T
"His knowledge of the ever changing BC market is so important for being on top of it and standing out when selling your home. He provided multiple game plans for us to choose based on our wants, needs and expectations and consistently kept us up to date on what the next best move is. We sold our home in less than a week for over asking!"
