Pricing
One fee. Published.
Most agencies in Metro Vancouver won’t quote until you’ve had a call. That’s a sales technique, not a pricing model.
The fee
50% of one month’s rent, plus GST, based on a 12-month fixed-term lease and payable when the tenant moves in. On a $2,500 unit that’s $1,250 plus GST - once, not monthly. There is no upfront cost and nothing owed if no tenant is placed.

What this fee does not buy
Ongoing property management - rent collection, repairs, inspections, tenancy disputes - requires a rental property management licence under the Real Estate Services Act. I hold a trading services licence, which covers finding and screening tenants and collecting security and pet damage deposits. If you want full management, Babych Group Realty Vancouver Ltd. is licensed for it and I’ll make the introduction.
