Buying a Home With Borna Asi
How Borna represents buyers across Greater Vancouver and the Lower Mainland with preparation, evidence and clear negotiation.
The approach
Clarity before urgency.
Buying property here involves a long list of decisions taken quickly, often with incomplete information and a deadline attached. Borna's approach is to move as much of the thinking as possible to the calm part of the process, so the fast part is execution rather than improvisation.

The journey
Six stages from first conversation to keys in hand.
Each stage reduces uncertainty before the next decision needs to be made — so when things move fast, you are executing a plan rather than improvising one.
Stage 01 · Clarity first
Establishing what you actually need
The first conversation is about your situation rather than about listings: budget including closing costs, how long you plan to stay, who else is part of the decision, and what would make the purchase a mistake for you.
- Budget & closing costs
- Timeline
- Decision makers
- Deal-breakers
Stage 02 · The shortlist
Building a shortlist you can defend
Borna narrows the search to properties that genuinely fit, and explains what each one would cost to hold — not just to buy. Strata fees, parking, maintenance and expected repairs all belong in the comparison.
- Properties that truly fit
- Cost to hold, not just to buy
- Strata & fees
- Maintenance outlook
Stage 03 · The evidence
Evidence before emotion
Every offer recommendation comes with the comparable sales behind it and the adjustments applied. You should be able to see how the number was reached and disagree with it if you want to.
- Comparable sales
- Documented adjustments
- A number you can question
Stage 04 · Due diligence
Due diligence, on time
Documents are requested early, inspections are booked before they are urgent, and your lender and lawyer are kept informed so condition deadlines are met without a scramble.
- Documents requested early
- Inspections booked ahead
- Condition deadlines met
Stage 05 · The offer
Negotiating the whole agreement
Price is one term. Conditions, deposit, dates, inclusions and how inspection findings are handled all form part of the negotiation, and which of them matter depends on the transaction and the other party.
- Price & terms together
- Conditions
- Deposit & dates
- Inclusions
Stage 06 · Keys in hand
Through to completion
After conditions are removed, Borna coordinates the remaining steps with your lawyer or notary and stays available until you have the keys.
- Conditions removed
- Lawyer & notary coordination
- Move-in day
No current market statistics are published on this page. Conditions differ by community, property type and reporting period; ask Borna for the most recent figures for your situation and their source.
A disciplined purchase
The right home starts with the right decisions.
Borna helps you separate urgency from opportunity, understand the evidence, and negotiate an agreement that reflects more than price.
Common questions
Do I need a pre-approval before I start looking?
Yes. A pre-approval sets your real budget, makes your offers credible, and lets Borna line up financing conditions with offer deadlines instead of scrambling after the fact.
How does Borna decide what a property is worth?
From completed comparable sales, adjusted for differences in size, condition and location — and shared with you, so you can see how the number was reached and question it if you disagree.
Should I ever write an offer without conditions?
Only with your eyes open. Conditions such as financing and inspection exist to protect you, and removing them carries real risk. Borna explains the trade-off for the specific property and lets you decide — he will not push you past your own limits.
What does Borna negotiate besides price?
Conditions, deposit, completion and possession dates, included items, and how inspection findings are handled. Which of these matter depends on the transaction — a suitable outcome involves the whole agreement, not just the number.
Can Borna guarantee he will get me the lowest price?
No — and no Realtor can. What he offers is preparation, comparable evidence and a negotiation strategy built around your limits, so the offer you make is one you can defend.
