How it works
Working with Tom: what happens, step by step
Updated 5 October 2026Tom Jahed is a REALTOR® with Vanak Realty in North Vancouver, working in English and Farsi. In 10 years he has helped with more than 400 transactions, and clients have left about 100 five-star reviews. This page sets out what happens at each step of buying or selling with him, and what BC rules say you will be shown along the way.
Buying
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. First call | What you want, your timeline, and what you can afford. Tom explains how he will represent you before any service starts |
| 2. Pre-approval | Your lender confirms what you qualify for at today’s qualifying rate |
| 3. The search | Listings that fit, plus the area, strata and permit checks that portals leave out |
| 4. The offer | Price, deposit and subjects such as financing, inspection and strata documents |
| 5. Subjects | Inspection, Form B, the depreciation report and the insurance summary are read before subjects come off. On most resales you also have a 3-business-day rescission period after acceptance |
| 6. Completion | Your lawyer or notary handles the transfer, the property transfer tax and the keys |
Selling
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Evaluation | What your home is likely to sell for, from recent sales nearby |
| 2. The listing contract | Fees are set out in writing, and you receive a Disclosure to Seller of Expected Remuneration before you sign |
| 3. Preparing the home | What is worth doing before photos, and what is not |
| 4. Offers | Each offer explained: price, subjects, deposit and dates |
| 5. Completion | Your lawyer or notary pays off the mortgage and the costs, and sends you the balance |
