How do the best and brightest pivot and maintain a competitive edge in Vancouver’s ever-changing market? Sunny Hahm, Director of Marketing & Strategy at Beedie, joins Adam & Matt to discuss some of Beedie’s biggest successes in the down market and the secret to maintaining a competitive edge through careful analysis and bold choices. Sunny also looks forward to 2020 and - spoiler alert! - much of the the doom and gloom that clouded last year’s holiday season is gone. He shares his predictions for 2020, whether prices go up or down, and which areas are sure bets for buyers. Ladies and gentleman, it’s Hahmer time!

Sometimes the biggest threats come from the things you cannot see. And, no, we are not talking about ghosts, although that’s what’s keeping Secret up at night. Today’s show takes us underground to talk about an often overlooked danger lurking just beneath your feet: oil tanks. GeoScan Subsurface Surveys’ Joseph Salazar joins Adam & Matt this week to chart why oil tanks are problematic, tank timelines, clues that a house was on oil, why your uncle’s metal detector is not enough, and some horror stories too. Trust us! You’ll tank us later.

Rents are on the rise with a lack of rental stock and the stress test limiting potential buyers. So, what better time to bring on President of Bullpen Research and Consulting Ben Myers. Having worked in international markets, studied rental data, and advised big-time developers, Ben offers a unique perspective on Canadian real estate markets. Tune in for the best opportunities in Vancouver, Toronto and beyond! We are going BIG... get it, cause Ben. Giddy up!  

What does it take to claw your way to the top of the hyper competitive world of Vancouver real estate? Turns out a lot more collaboration and a lot less clawing than you might think. Michael Uy & Morgan Browne, co-founders and Partners at Oakwyn Realty, sit down with Adam & Matt to discuss the meteoric rise of Oakwyn Realty and the practices that have led to Oakwyn having a strong comparative advantage in our marketplace. These young entrepreneurs talk taking on the established world of real estate brokerages, creating a culture of success, as well as some catastrophic failures that might have buckled the best of them. And turns out they also know a thing or two about real estate investing. Where would they buy? What is the best long-term hold? And what is the most important real estate metric? Trust us – it is one you have never heard!   

"What's going on?" Not only a provocative question posed by soul icon Marvin Gaye, but also the title of Michael Ferreira's State of the Union address at the recent UDI breakfast series. And, in the last quarter of 2019, what better time to reflect not only on what's going on in the market but what's to come. This week, Principals Michael Ferreira & Jon Bennest from Urban Analytics join Adam & Matt for a far-reaching discussion on the current market, the areas that suffered most in the market down-turn, where presales are set to rebound quickly, and predictions for the 2020 Vancouver real estate market. That's right - You heard it through the grapevine! This jam-packed, soulful hour will leave even the most seasoned investors thinking "Let's Get It On!" Also, sexual healing.

When it comes to Vancouver real estate, “location, location, location” has become “SkyTrain, SkyTrain, SkyTrain”. So many industry leaders on this podcast have advised to buy near SkyTrain Stations but what if you want to get in on the ground floor? Translink’s CEO Kevin Desmond sits down with Adam and Matt to discuss the future of Metro Vancouver’s Skytrain Lines & Rapid Transit Expansion and it does not disappoint. The Broadway Line, Surrey LRT, and Rapidbus expansion are only some of the exciting projects that will unlock our growing region over the next decades. This is one stop you won’t want to miss...now stand clear of the closing doors!

Your home equity is the first step for so many aspiring investors and this discussion is guaranteed to inspire everyone from the first-time buyers to the seasoned investor. Listen Up!
