Meet Cleen

Colleen loves Real Es-

tate it’s more than a career, it’s a

passion she has enjoyed for 16

years.

She likes to help those who

need her expertise in contract law

and real estate. Colleen’s ser-

vice is for everyday people who

are selling the home they’ve lived

in for a lifetime, people who are

new to Canada, or someone who

is just starting out on their home

ownership journey. Selling or buy-

ing a home might seem straight

forward, but it is lled with many

pitfalls if the contracts are short

on details and don’t account for

the what ifs that happen in life.

She went to school to study

law where she earned a parale-

gal diploma and then worked for

a large real estate developer. Ex-

perience on the developer side of

Real Estate gave her an insight

into strata plans and details like

airspace, commercial entitle

ments, covenants, easements,

and statutory right of ways. She

understands how all these legal

rights will affect the sale of the

home or the lifestyle of the pur-

chaser. She knows what to look

for to ensure her clients are pro-

tected.

Real Estate is complicated

and too often a buyer doesn’t

know what questions to ask to en-

sure they will not be on the hook

for an unforeseen expense or

living in a strata that restricts their

lifestyle. Colleen knows what to

look for, how to write a good con-

tract, and has advanced training

in real estate law to help her pro-

tect her client’s interests.

There is more to selling a

home than exchanging cash for

keys. The process can be frus-

trating and if one is not careful,

it could cost you more than you

expected.

Meet Cleen

Colleen has access to data

and the experience to price your

home according to the market.

By pricing the home right,

it will attract buyers right away.

When a home is priced too high, it

will sit in the market and lose the

interest of potential buyers be-

cause it will not show well against

other listings in the same price

range, which the buyer’s agent

will show with comparative past

sales.

If it is priced too low, without

the right marketing strategy, the

seller may not get a fair offer and

walk away with less than they

should have.

When the market is hot, a

well-priced home can result in

a bidding war because the best

chance for the highest offer is

to get a higher number of buy-

ers interested in the listing at the

same time. Even in a hot market,

homes which are overpriced will

sit unsold and interest will wane,

no matter how nice the property.

With the data available to

her, and her experience in the

market, Colleen is able to help a

seller price their home to attract

interested buyers.

How a home is shown to the

marketplace matters. Colleen

uses the latest tools to create a

full marketing package to show-

case the home’s best features

and tell a complete story.

Starting with photos, vid-

eos, 3D Matterport tours, and

oorplans she is able to help get

potential buyers excited about

seeing the home. When buyers

tour the home, she makes herself

available to answer questions to

ensure the buyer has all the infor-

mation they need to make a deci-

sion.

In today’s market, sellers

must showcase their home, which

takes time, skill, and investment,

all of which Colleen brings to the

table.

How a buyer feels when

walking through your home mat-

ters and this is where staging

comes in. Colleen knows how to

help you stage your home and if

you need extra help, who to bring

onto your real estate team.

Do you know how much pa-

perwork is involved in a real es-

tate transaction? Colleen does

and with her legal training, she

understands the level of detail

required to get it right. Realtors

have a duciary responsibility to

their clients to protect them and

ensure their interests always

come rst.

This responsibility comes

easy to Colleen, who naturally

cares about other people and is

driven to be of service. One of her

rst jobs in Real Estate was as

a licensed assistant to a team of

successful Realtors who dotted

How are your negotiating

skills? Do you live for the deal?

Can you negotiate like a pro?

Colleen has been negotiating real

estate deals for 16 years. She

knows what a good offer is and

advises her clients on what to of-

fer, what to ask for, and then ne-

gotiates on their behalf to get the

best deal possible. Throughout

her career, she has undergone

training and learned from those in

the industry about negotiation and

getting the best deal for a client.

Colleen Shorter does a lot

more than show homes or put up

a sign. She analyzes the market,

the properties, and the paperwork

to ensure her client’s interests are

taken care of. She makes sure

her seller’s properties are show-

cased to the market properly to

bring interested buyers in. She

uses her skills and talents to ma-

neuver through a deal and un-

derstand all the details that could

affect the outcome of the sale.

It is the best place to live in the

lower mainland because of the ocean,

beach, mountains, and shopping”

When Colleen Shorter

moved to the North Shore, she

felt like she was nally home. It

is where she belongs and she

never wants to leave. Whenever

she drives north over the Lions-

gate bridge, she gets a warm

feeling and a huge smile on her

face because she is living in the

best place in the world. She en-

joys living the healthy lifestyle

the North Shore offers.

The community has every-

thing she needs. It has the Park

Royal shopping centre, small

business boutique shopping,

yoga classes, doctors, pharma-

cies, the park, the beach, and

the mountains. You can swim,

bike, walk, ski, snowshoe, and

never have to drive. Whether

she visits the Capilano suspen-

sion bridge, the dam, Grouse

Mountain, the river, and trails,

she is happy to be in the natural

environment of her community.
