Patricia Houlihan Personal Real Estate Corporation

Patricia Houlihan is the Realtor to use! I met her at a triathlon club in the 1990s and have watched her business grow and her help *DOZENS* of my friends realize the dream of owning their own home and making money in real estate. (She’s a lawyer too!) Patricia knows a LOT about the Vancouver markets – west side and east side – and North Van too — all over. She’s really helped a few of my friends when going through marriage breakups, ensuring people considered options and didn’t panic when the rumours on the street where “everything too expensive!” – it doesn’t have to be. In the summer of 2021, her perseverance and experience really helped out a friend of mine: he knew the neighbourhood and style of place he wanted (no busy road, quiet, shady, 700 sq feet and bigger, no big strata fees) and she sent good match choices and — most importantly — followed up very thoroughly on 2 listings with accepted offers in a great building to get his offer in right away when one of the accepted offers fell through. Patricia has incredible drive and yet is down to earth and always has a smile on her face. She’ll show up at 6am, 6pm, 10pm, take calls from the car while on vacation (she did this during the recent purchase, ensuring mortgage broker was in place, ensuring all the things were going on the right timeline). I know she would be great help first time home buyers – so knowledgeable! Patricia knows a lot about real estate investment too, and has advised me for decades with answers to my questions about how investment properties work re taxes/interest, values in neighbourhoods, ensuring futures protected. Most recently, her lawyer background and experience helped me not lose several thousand in a transaction. THANK YOU, Patricia! How do you fit in all those workouts too?

Patricia without question should be your number one choice for a realtor. We had tried selling our home before and had a horrible experience with the realtor and ended up taking our home off the market. Patricia was able to get a price significantly over market even though market was beginning to decline. Patricia is calm and really helped us with our stress. She is strategic and a strong negotiator. She has a lot of fire in her belly and exceptional work ethic. She is responsive to emails and texts. She understands the value of your home and how hard you worked for that equity. She treats your money like it is her own and has exceptional integrity about doing a good job for you!! She is not just a top realtor in BC but in Canada!!! She is by far the best choice if you are thinking of buying or selling.

Patricia is, by far, the BEST Realtor in Vancouver. Not because she’s an amazing negotiator who gets the deal done (which she is), but because she actually wants you to find the home that’s right for you; not the house that gets her the deal & commission.

She worked with me for nearly 2 years. She started with a questionaire that asked what I was looking for, and she remembered every detail throughout our 24 months journey.

We toured dozens of homes – each time reminding me what was important to me and helping me frame my consideration to ensure I would be happy not only purchasing it, but paying for it, and living in it, long term. That meant there were many we did not put offers in on (though she could have easily encouraged me to). They weren’t right for me and my family, and her top priority was to ensure I made the right decision for me – not the decision that got her paid.

She also guided me through 10+ offers in a hot and brutal market. She helped me refocus after not getting each of them – never swaying me to go above my means; letting them go and reminding me that my forever home was out there.

Finally, I found my dream home! I didn’t think I would get it; but she encouraged me to try, helped me negotiate within reason, and it worked! I am now moving into my new home this weekend and I truly couldn’t have done it without Patricia’s help.

If you want a Realtor that will work for YOU, there is no other Realtor to consider. My sincere thanks always, Patricia!

I have known Patricia Houlihan since we attended law school together. I have always admired bother her dedication to her work as well as her high ethical standards.

When it came tome to sell my property I did not hesitate to engage Patricia to find a buyer. She did a great job.

Patricia will always be honest with both buyers and sellers. I have known her to lose potential listings because she would be honest about the price range rather than price it above market to get the listing and then take the “the market has changed” approach.

A skilled lawyer and a great realtor. I recommend her without hesitation.
