Market

The Lower Mainland is the most competitive brokerage market in Canada and the most apartment weighted. The Fraser Valley, Okanagan and Island each behave differently, which is why we cover them city by city below.

Recognition

Our founders and brokers include names ranked in the CMP Top 75 Brokers in Canada, with Asim Ali ranked number four in 2026.
