Here are custom links to some of the unique properties of Whistler. Realtor.ca does not give potential buyers the chance to search by nightly rental properties or to include/exclude the phase 2 nightly rental properties. I am able to do some of these searches from the back end.. here you go:

52 Phase 1 nightly rental condos & townhomes in Whistler Village - unlimited personal use and AirBNB/VRBO permitted**. Click here
36 Phase 1 nightly rental condos and townhomes on the Blackcomb Benchlands - unlimited personal use and AirBNB/VRBO permitted. Click here
43 Phase 2* nightly rental suites for sale. The majority of phase 2 suites are in full service hotels. Click here
46 Homes for sale under under $3M. Click here
49 Homes for saleover $3M. Click here

7 Whistler Cay & Whistler Cay Heights homes - one of the most popular areas in Whistler - walking distance to Whistler Village. Click here

* The phase two nightly rental covenant restricts owner personal use of the property to 28 days in the summer, 28 days in the winter and requires that the property is available for rentals through a property rental management company. With phase 2 properties, a rental pool situation is most commonly in place, i.e. so long as your suite is available for rent (even if no one sleeps in it that day) it is entitled to a share of any rental revenue earned. Whenever an owner is not using the suite personally, it is mandatory it be part of the rental pool.

Sellers

What I do know.... Prices right now
What I know .... there's a solid number of sales occurring
What I also do know .... properties are taking longer to sell (91 days vs 40 days).
What I don't know.... what the market is going to do in the fall.

What I do know.... history ... I have worked in real estate for 20 years, in 2 of the last ten year cycles (and started at the end of the 3rd). The markets went up and then down. We had a peak at the end of 2018 and if the other cycles are an indication of the future, pricing will soften.
What I expect to happen ... Buyer pressure to reduce prices as the number of listings on the market increases.
What would I do? ..... List now while we know what we are dealing with.

Remember ... buyers want move in ready. Spending time getting your property spruced up to sell brings you more money, a quicker sale and an easier transaction.

-->>. Ask me about my proven marketing program where I market before the property goes live.

Buyers

The number of properties coming on the market is increasing -- and so are the number of sales!
What I do know .... Prices right now. Use my expertise. Really.
What I also know .... The best time to buy is when you see your perfect property. It's harder to try and work the market.
What I also know... no matter what type of property you are looking for, you will end up having less than six to choose from. And if you are looking for true slopeside even less.
What would I do? ... Buy the property that fits your preferences when you see it. There will always be compromises. Pick the one closest to perfect and we can improve on the compromises.
Remember.... location, light and view. Cosmetics can be changed.
What I do know ... buy now if you see your perfect property. Mortgage rates are low, look for properties that have been on the market longer that have done price reductions. There are always sellers that need to sell (yes, we have a few. Not many but let me help you find them).
What you should do... Get pre-approved for your financing so you can move quickly. If you have a favourite building or area, do your research. Read the strata documents; does the property have history; any building reports; building inspection? Do what you can to have as few conditions as possible. Cash, unconditional, quick close... strong offer!!

{REPEAT} ... While the world goes through this dramatic change. I have been paying close attention to how my family, other families, local businesses, the now unemployed and self-isolated Whistler community as a whole pulled together to use their unique skills, locally made products, networks, connections to evolve and adapt to changes that may actually stick around

I see people offering their assistance in where they stand out. Where they have the most experience, choice of what we’d prefer to do instead of unsuccessfully multi-tasking. Our hearts are more full of joy because our days simpler. And I like it. I thought it may be great opportunity to rethink my world of real estate.

So.

I have decided to dissolve the team structure and just be me again.

I have established systems in place that I didn’t have 20 years ago. I have also been Coached by the #1 real Estate coach in North America; have many years of professional development through the REBGV and other amazing coaches. I have travelled frequently to meet with the top Realtors in the world, to attend training events and conferences to keep my skills sharp, my marketing innovative and my brain on top of trends to share with you.

I’m delighted to have helped many families fulfill their Whistler dreams. All of this has brought me many awards and successes which I don’t boast about because it’s not my style .... a lot of late nights, weekends and less time with my family than I would like.

I am going to be leaning on everything that I have built to now provide you with
