Who Gary is
Gary Paul is a licensed real estate agent in British Columbia. The BC Financial Services Authority, which licenses every agent in the province, lists him under his legal name, Gurdeep Singh Paul, and the name he goes by, Gary Paul. He works through his own company, Gary Paul Personal Real Estate Corporation, at Grand Central Realty on North Fraser Way in Burnaby.
Grand Central Realty holds the licence for MultiLiving, and Gary is its licensee for this site. He is the person who answers for what MultiLiving publishes, which is why his name and phone number appear under our guides.
Why Burnaby
Burnaby changed its rules on July 1, 2024. Lots that were zoned for one house or a duplex now allow three or four homes, and up to six near frequent transit, according to the City of Burnaby. Many older houses now sit on lots that can hold more homes, and that is the work Gary focuses on: helping the owner of one of those houses sell it for what it is worth as land, or build on it.
His listings show it. The homes and lots below are read from MLS® every hour. Look for the lots marked with plans or with the number of homes the listing says the lot allows, and for the new half duplex homes on lots that once held one house.
How Gary sees it
In our view, most Burnaby owners with an older house on a full lot have three choices, and the right one depends on how much time, money and risk they want. Selling as is gives the fastest result. Selling with plans drawn can bring a higher price from a builder who wants to start sooner. Building with a partner gives the owner a new home on their own street, and it takes the longest.
Gary lays the three side by side with numbers from nearby sales before an owner decides. Our advice is the same each time: get your own lawyer and your own appraisal before you sign any partnership.
