City of Coquitlam
Your Coquitlam Realtor — Borna Asi
Borna Asi represents buyers and sellers throughout Coquitlam — Burquitlam, Coquitlam Town Centre, Maillardville, Westwood Plateau and the neighbourhoods along the Evergreen Extension.
Coquitlam covers a lot of ground, and its neighbourhoods were built in very different eras. Burquitlam has been redeveloping around SkyTrain stations; Town Centre combines towers with established townhome complexes; Maillardville holds much older housing on smaller lots; Westwood Plateau is largely 1990s and 2000s detached houses on the hillside.
That range means a Coquitlam search is really several searches. Borna's job is to keep them separate in your mind, and to make sure each property is judged against the right evidence.
Every decision is explained clearly, with the local context behind it.

Housing types and local considerations in Coquitlam
Elevation, slope and distance from a SkyTrain station shape value across Coquitlam more than in flatter municipalities. A hillside house may come with a view, a steep driveway, retaining walls and drainage considerations all at once.
Transit access reorganised parts of the city. Properties within walking distance of Burquitlam, Moody Centre, Coquitlam Central or Lincoln stations behave differently from those that require a car for every trip.
- Newer towers and mid-rises around Burquitlam and Coquitlam Town Centre
- Large townhome complexes, many with their own age-related maintenance cycles
- Detached hillside houses on Westwood Plateau, often with suites and long driveways
- Older, smaller-lot housing in Maillardville and parts of central Coquitlam
- Properties near creeks, ravines and steep slopes, where drainage and setbacks matter

How Borna helps Coquitlam buyers
Buyers in Coquitlam are usually weighing space against commute, and hillside character against practicality. The details that decide whether a house is a good purchase are often physical: drainage, retaining walls, roof age and how the lot sits.
- Reading a hillside property properly, and knowing which questions belong with an inspector or engineer
- Comparing townhome complexes on their maintenance history and fees, not just floor area
- Weighing walking distance to a station against the price difference it commands
- Checking suite legality and parking arrangements before they become an assumption
How Borna helps Coquitlam sellers
Coquitlam buyers frequently come from Vancouver and Burnaby, and they evaluate a property against what they left behind. Presenting your property's advantages clearly — space, parking, outdoor area, a suite — is part of the pricing work, not separate from it.
- Documenting roof, drainage, retaining wall and mechanical work already done
- Clarifying suite permits, parking and any strata restrictions in advance
- Reviewing the townhome or detached inventory a buyer is comparing you with
- Planning dates around school terms and your own onward purchase
Why negotiation matters in Coquitlam
Inspections carry more weight here than in many neighbouring markets, because hillside and older properties surface real findings. Whether a finding becomes a price reduction, a repair before completion, or nothing at all is a negotiation — and it is usually decided by how the conversation is handled, not by the report itself.
Timing is the other lever. Families moving for schools and sellers coordinating an onward purchase both have dates that matter to them, and those dates are frequently worth more than a small change in price.
Common questions about Coquitlam
- What should I check on a Westwood Plateau hillside house?
- Drainage and grading, the condition and history of retaining walls, roof and gutter age, any evidence of water in the lower level, and whether the driveway is manageable in winter. An inspector can flag these; some warrant a specialist opinion before you remove conditions.
- Is being near a SkyTrain station worth the premium in Coquitlam?
- That depends on how you actually travel. If one person commutes daily on transit, it can be. If the household drives, the premium may buy less than the same money spent on space further out. It is a personal calculation, not a market rule.
- How do I compare townhome complexes?
- Look past the unit. Compare the depreciation report, the contingency reserve, recent and upcoming projects, monthly fees relative to what they cover, and the bylaws that would affect your household.
- Is Coquitlam currently a buyer's or a seller's market?
- That cannot be answered honestly in a general sentence. Conditions differ by property type, neighbourhood and reporting period. Ask Borna for current figures for your specific situation, along with the source and the date they were last reviewed.
