BUY WITH A BUILDER'S MIND. INVEST WITH A DESIGNER'S EYE.
Builder's technical knowledge, a designer's eye, and investor-grade discipline — all working for you.
THE VIC ADVANTAGE
From construction-informed property insight to design-driven value — a rare combination of expertise available to Vancouver buyers.
THE THREE PILLARS
The trifecta no other Vancouver REALTOR® can offer: a builder's knowledge, a designer's eye, and a developer's financial discipline.
I. THE VISION
Vic's design training lets him instantly see layout possibilities — what walls can move, how a space can live — so you're buying the vision of what a property can become.
II. THE INSIGHT
Before you commit, Vic applies his construction background to evaluate a property beyond what a standard walkthrough reveals — identifying potential defects, flagging permitting concerns, and assessing renovation or redevelopment risk.
III. THE PERFORMANCE
Every investment decision should be backed by real numbers. Vic applies PMP-certified project management discipline — modeling renovation costs, rental yield potential, and resale value before you commit.
THE TRIFECTA: YOUR UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
Vic models your full return before you commit — renovation costs, rental yield, and resale potential calculated with developer-grade precision so you know your numbers before you make an offer.
LOOK PAST THE PLAN
In Vancouver's complex market, Vic brings a level of property insight that goes beyond a standard walkthrough. Drawing on his experience as Development Manager at Pinnacle International and his PMP certification, he evaluates each property with a developer's eye — assessing renovation scope, flagging permitting considerations, and identifying risk factors before his clients commit. All observations are advisory in nature; professional inspections and engineering reviews are always recommended.
PERSONAL SERVICE BACKED BY PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE.
Vic understands that a home is the most significant project a person will ever undertake. Having designed luxury spaces for Northland Properties — including as Brand Ambassador for the 5-star Sutton Place Hotels — he can see the potential in a property that others simply walk past. When he isn't evaluating floor plans or negotiating contracts, Vic is an active member of the Vancouver community — paddleboarding in the summer, snowboarding the mountains in the winter.
TECHNICAL MASTERY IN EVERY TRANSACTION.
From the Design Studio to the Job Site to the Deal Table.
INTERIOR DESIGNER
Vic started in design school — learning not just how spaces look, but why they feel the way they do. That curiosity about what makes a home truly work has shaped how he sees every property since.
SENIOR DESIGNER — NORTHLAND PROPERTIES
Designing across three brand tiers — Sandman Hotels, Sandman Signature Hotels, and the 5-star Sutton Place Hotels — Vic learned what separates a space that looks good in photos from one that commands a premium. Appointed Brand Ambassador for Sutton Place Hotels, he carried the full weight of that luxury standard into every design decision.
DEVELOPMENT MANAGER — PINNACLE INTERNATIONAL
At Pinnacle International Realty Group — one of Vancouver's most prolific high-rise developers — Vic managed project execution at the developer level. Combined with earlier work leading an international design team for a major Beijing-based developer, and formalized with a PMP certification, he developed the institutional precision he now applies to every client's purchase.
RENOVATION BUSINESS OWNER
For the past five years, Vic has owned and operated a full renovation business in Vancouver — carrying $5M in general liability coverage, with projects averaging $250,000. He knows what things actually cost in this market, which trades to trust, and what a renovation estimate is really telling you.
REALTOR®
Every purchase Vic advises on gets the full advantage: the technical rigour of a builder, the discerning eye of a designer, and the ROI discipline of an institutional project manager. That combination is rare — and it belongs entirely to his clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Vic different from other Vancouver realtors?
Vic provides a technical perspective based on 17 years of industry experience in design, construction, and development. As a certified PMP (Project Management Professional), he applies institutional-grade project management methodology to the real estate process. His approach focuses on the structural condition and financial performance of a property, providing an analytical evaluation that goes beyond standard market observations.
How does your construction background assist me as a buyer?
Vic utilizes his experience in construction management to provide technical advisory during the property search. This includes identifying potential issues with building systems, reviewing permitting requirements, and providing data-driven cost estimates for improvements. Please note that these observations are for advisory purposes only and are intended to help evaluate aesthetic potential and value; they do not replace a professional home inspection or a structural engineering report. Clients are strongly encouraged to seek independent professional inspections as part of their due diligence process.
Do you work with first-time home buyers?
Yes. Vic assists first-time buyers by navigating the technical and financial complexities of the Vancouver market. He provides a detailed analysis of acquisition costs, projected renovation budgets, and estimated rental yields. His objective is to ensure that clients understand the technical requirements and long-term financial performance of their first property purchase.
What is your connection to property management?
Vic is a licensed Realtor with Rent It Furnished, a Vancouver brokerage specializing in luxury furnished rentals and property management. This affiliation allows him to provide clients with verified rental market data and facilitate professional tenant placement and management services. This ensures that the investment strategy is supported by professional management from the date of possession.
Can you manage renovations after the purchase?
Post-purchase project management services are available through My Project Team Management Corp., a separate firm dedicated to overseeing budgets, timelines, and quality control. Please be advised that referring real estate clients to this firm constitutes a potential conflict of interest. In accordance with the Real Estate Services Act, all such relationships are transparently disclosed.
