MultiLiving × Buyer agents
You know your client. We focus on multiplex and ground-oriented homes. Put those perspectives together for a more useful search across Greater Vancouver.
Start with one client. Agree on the details together.
Why work together
The value is in the work around the search: understanding the brief, comparing the options, and knowing what still needs an answer. Use MultiLiving’s existing resources and discuss the additional support that makes sense for your client and the project.
When your buyer wants a front door, outdoor space, and room to grow, a general property search can leave you sorting through homes that miss the brief. MultiLiving brings multiplex and other ground-oriented options into one place. Use the marketplace to build an initial shortlist, then bring us the gaps you want to resolve together.
Start with lifestyle, location, budget, and timing.
Two three-bedroom homes can live very differently. Look beyond the headline price to bedrooms, stairs, storage, parking, outdoor space, and the relationship between neighbouring homes. Our property pages and comparison tools give you a starting point for a more useful client conversation. Confirm the details that matter against current project documents.
Turn a list of addresses into a shortlist with reasons.
A productive showing starts with the right questions. Share what your buyer needs to understand: a main-floor bedroom, work-from-home space, a particular completion window, or a second parking space. Together, identify which questions the available material answers and which need a response from the listing team before your client makes the trip.
Spend showing time evaluating the home.
Some answers sit with a project’s sales team or builder. Where a suitable contact is available, discuss the best route to clarify a floor plan, construction detail, available unit, or viewing arrangement. Introductions and support depend on the property and the parties involved. Agree on who is responsible for each follow-up at the outset.
Get the right questions to the right project contact.
Use our buyer guides, neighbourhood pages, and multiplex explainers to support your own advice. They can help a client prepare for a conversation about shared ownership, home layouts, or buying new construction. Send a relevant page with your observations. A better-informed client can tell you more clearly what matters most.
Give clients something useful between appointments.
A buyer may begin with a detached-home wish list and discover that a well-planned duplex is a better fit. Another may prefer a smaller home in a familiar neighbourhood over more space farther away. Explore those tradeoffs together. Revisit the brief when budget, timing, or family needs change instead of repeatedly sending the same options.
Make each round of feedback improve the next shortlist.
You have invested in understanding your buyer. Make your role and preferred communication approach clear when you contact us. Before any direct introduction, agree on who will contact the buyer, what information will be shared, and how updates will return to you. A practical partnership starts with everyone knowing their part.
Set expectations before introducing the client.
Start with a single buyer brief. If working together is useful, discuss a repeatable approach for future clients: the areas you cover, the formats you often show, and how you prefer to review potential matches. You do not need a large team or a portfolio of buyers to begin a conversation.
Start with one real client need and build from there.
Real buyer conversations
These are examples of searches we can discuss together, not claims about particular homes or completed transactions. Bring the scenario behind the bedroom count so the search starts with how your client wants to live.
Your client wants an extra bedroom, space for a stroller, and a usable outdoor area, but a detached home may stretch the budget. Compare options around everyday routines: where the children sleep, how groceries reach the kitchen, and whether outdoor space is accessible from the living area. Find the home that solves the actual space problem.
Relatives may want separate homes within the same project or neighbourhood. Start with each household’s independent budget, bedroom needs, and timing. Verify availability for each potential home. Leave room for different preferences, separate decisions, and a backup plan if one unit sells first.
A finished home and a future completion call for different conversations. Establish flexibility around moving dates, what the client needs to see, and which documents require review. Surface questions about finishes, inclusions, parking, and progress. Request current information rather than treating an earlier rendering as the final answer.
A property can meet the floor-plan brief while missing the daily-life brief. Narrow the search around work, family, transit, parks, and shops. Use area resources to orient the conversation, then encourage clients to experience the neighbourhood at the times that matter. A useful comparison includes the route home as well as the rooms inside.
From brief to next steps
You do not need a polished presentation to start. A concise note about your client and the obstacles in their search is enough to make the first conversation productive.
Start the conversation →Send your name, brokerage, target areas, budget range, bedroom needs, and move-in timing. Add the requirements that would rule a home out. An anonymized brief is enough to start; you do not need to send a client’s identity or personal documents to discuss the fit.
Identify the parties involved, your role with the buyer, and the preferred communication route. Discuss the support you want and confirm what is available. Raise any referral or compensation discussion with the relevant parties before anyone relies on an assumption.
Review candidate homes against the brief. Separate confirmed details from open questions, and ask the appropriate project contact to verify availability, pricing, inclusions, and access. A short list of credible options is more useful than a long list your client would never consider.
Agree on showing requests, questions to send ahead, and who will follow up. You bring the client context and your advice; the collaboration focuses on property information and agreed support. Confirm access and documentation before making commitments to your client.
Record what worked, what did not, and what remains unresolved. A client who rejects a layout has still given you useful information. If they want to pursue a home, confirm next steps with the responsible professionals. Otherwise, update the brief and agree on useful follow-up.
The foundations
Tell us how you work with the client and where you want support. Establish the communication route before making introductions, including who receives property updates and who follows up after a showing. Keep the buyer’s preferences at the centre of the arrangement.
Discuss any co-operation, referral, or service arrangement with the relevant parties and confirm the written terms before proceeding. This page promises no standard fee, commission split, bonus, or guaranteed payout. The initial inquiry is a conversation about fit.
Property availability, viewing access, materials, and introductions vary. Identify the work each party is taking on and any cost before it begins. Ask about previews, co-branded resources, or other ideas separately so expectations match what is actually available.
