Vancouver · Residential real estate
Vancouver realtor websites built for BCFSA, the Home Buyer Rescission Period, and REBGV-driven neighbourhood SEO.
We audited 6 of the top-ranking BC-licensed Vancouver real estate agent and brokerage websites. Zero disclose BCFSA licensing in the footer. Zero explain the BC Property Disclosure Statement. Five of six are silent on Canada's only statutory cooling-off period. BC's 3-day Home Buyer Rescission Period. We build the inverse: BCFSA surfaced, HBRP explained, designated agency in plain language, and a REBGV HPI-driven neighbourhood content engine that compounds.

Methodology and per-site detail in our Vancouver Real Estate Agent Local Pack Audit (2026).
What we put on every Vancouver agent site.
BCFSA licence & brokerage disclosure
Licensee number, brokerage name, and a link to the BCFSA public registry in the footer of every page, the disclosure RESA and BCFSA rules require. Zero of 6 audited Vancouver sites surface this.
Home Buyer Rescission Period explainer
BC's 3-business-day cooling-off period (BC Reg 232/2022, in force January 3, 2023) is unique in Canada. Buyers ask about it constantly; 5 of 6 audited sites are silent. We build the page that explains it.
Designated-agency & PDS pages
BCFSA's post-2018 framework replaced limited dual agency. We build plain-language explainers for the Disclosure of Representation in Trading Services form and the BCREA Property Disclosure Statement, the documents clients are handed first.
REW / Repliers / Constellation1 IDX
Map search, saved searches, REBGV-compliant attribution, and proper opt-out handling. We integrate whichever data feed your brokerage already pays for so you don't double-pay.
REBGV HPI neighbourhood architecture
Kitsilano, West End, Yaletown, Mount Pleasant, Kerrisdale, Dunbar, North Van, Burnaby Heights, each with monthly REBGV HPI data, walkability, school catchments, and active listings. The single largest organic SEO opportunity in Vancouver residential.
Monthly HPI market reports
Auto-generated per-neighbourhood reports driven by Greater Vancouver REALTORS® HPI data. Builds the email list, ranks for 'Vancouver market update,' fuels seller-side conversion.
FINTRAC-aware client intake
Plain-language explainer of the KYC documents you'll ask for under PCMLTFA + Guideline 6E, integrated with your CRM (Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, BoldTrail, LionDesk).
The Home Buyer Rescission Period is the largest content gap in BC.
On January 3, 2023, BC became the first jurisdiction in Canada to introduce a statutory residential cooling-off period. Under BC Reg 232/2022, a buyer has 3 business days after offer acceptance to rescind for a fee of 0.25% of the purchase price. It applies to most resale residential and certain new construction. The numbers matter: on a $1.6M Vancouver condo, the rescission fee is $4,000, a real number a buyer wants to understand before they sign.
Five of the 6 top-ranking Vancouver agent sites we audited say nothing about it. Google's YMYL guidelines visibly reward content that demonstrates current expertise on regulated topics, and real estate is the canonical YMYL category. We build a dedicated HBRP page with the math worked out, the timeline diagrammed, and the edge cases (auctions, assignment sales, and the few exemptions) covered. This is the page that earns links and the page Google rewards.
BCFSA disclosure isn't optional, and it's a trust signal that's free.
Since August 1, 2021 the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) regulates every BC real estate licensee, having absorbed the Real Estate Council of BC. The Real Estate Services Act (SBC 2004, c. 42) and the Real Estate Services Regulation (BC Reg 506/2004) require licensee disclosure in advertising. Zero of 6 audited Vancouver agent sites surface their BCFSA licence number in the footer. We put the licensee number, brokerage name, registration class, and a link to the BCFSA public licensee registry in every footer, and wire it into structured data.
REBGV HPI is the engine, and almost no one is using it.
Greater Vancouver REALTORS® publishes monthly Home Price Index data per neighbourhood , the canonical Vancouver market indicator. We build an automated monthly report system: per neighbourhood, the report pulls the latest HPI benchmark, six- and twelve-month changes, sales-to-active ratio, and median days on market, then auto-publishes a page and emails it to your subscriber list. This drives organic rankings for "Vancouver market update" queries, builds the email list that converts seller-side, and gives you the weekly social content you'd otherwise have to write from scratch.
Pricing
Engagement-based. Most Vancouver agent builds land between $5k and $15k depending on number of neighbourhood pages, IDX integration depth (REW vs Repliers vs Constellation1), CRM wiring, and whether the build includes the automated REBGV HPI monthly market-report system.
