I have listed a new property at 7825 LABURNUM ST in Vancouver.
Can you imagine living on a large, quiet, corner lot at W 62 & Laburnum, which is a tree-lined street in one of the best neighbourhoods in Vancouver? This is a rare opportunity to own a prestigious address within walking distance of the Arbutus greenway and shopping, as well as being a short drive to Kerrisdale, horseback riding and UBC. At 3,850 sq feet, this home is sound enough to renovate and live in, with 6 bedrooms and potential suites and natural light on 3 sides, or build your brand new dream home and create even more value. Current garage with lane access has been upgraded to serve as a recording studio. School catchment: McKechnie Elementary, Magee Secondary. Point Grey Highschool as well as private schools nearby

I have sold a property at 758 15TH AVE W in Vancouver.
You will feel a true sense of community in this family friendly, well maintained building. This home fronts a quite tree-lined street in one of Vancouver's most desirable areas. The three bedroom townhome comes with two parking stalls, yet this location is so convenient you may never want to drive again. Walk to Whole Foods, Douglas Park Community Centre and the new Cambie Skytrain Station, or simply enjoy a cappuccino at the Willow Bakery or Tandem Bike Cafe just outside your front door. Enjoy mountain views from the upper floors. Schools in the area include L'Ecole Bilingue and Eric Hamber Secondary School. A secure storage locker and bike room help to keep your townhome neat and tidy.

about me: http://davidsetton.com/biography.html

- I changed brokerages recently. I always thought that it didn’t matter where a realtor hung is license
- Wanted to take a few minutes to talk about why I made the change
- The main reason was because of the high values of Oakwyn - 7 core values that really resonated with me.
1) Put People First. Real estate is a relationship business - I have always tried to listen first, ask lots of questions.
2) Provide Innovative Service - Again, I have always questioned the best way to do things. Love making videos, using tech and providing fancy brochures for all of my listings
3) Create a Community - really feel this in the brokerage. Agents are respectful and work together and share ideas.
4) Be a Real Estate Nerd - not sure about this one. This one comes dn to always wanting to learn more and lifelong student
5) Lead by Example - my father was always good at this. Model behaviour that you want others to duplicate
6) Pursue Learning and Growth - if you are not growing you're dying. This one resonated with me.
7) Drive and Embrace Change - this one made sense to me. I’m an action person and I like to try new things and push myself to grow.
