Real estate guidance built on care, clarity, and genuine expertise — for buyers and sellers across the Lower Mainland.
Before becoming a REALTOR®, I spent years as a healthcare professional — learning to listen carefully, stay calm under pressure, and put people first. Those values didn't change when I moved into real estate.
I'm Joy Ann Llamas, REALTOR® with Macdonald Realty. I work with buyers and sellers across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and the Lower Mainland — with a particular focus on the condo and strata market.
From your first question to your final key, with particular depth in one area that trips most buyers up.
Vancouver's condo market is complex. This is where I go deepest — helping clients understand Form B, CRF balances, depreciation reports, and bylaw implications before they sign anything.
Pre-approval, offer strategy, subject clauses, and closing — explained clearly at every stage.
Strategic pricing, home preparation, and professional presentation — handled with care.
With you every step of the way — proudly serving Vancouver's Filipino community and newcomer families building their future here. Fluent in English and Tagalog.
A clear, guided process — so you always know what's happening and what comes next.
We define your goals and budget, review the DORTS form, and you secure mortgage pre-approval to confirm your buying power.
You receive MLS alerts and we tour homes together. Once you find "the one," a Comparative Market Analysis shapes your offer strategy.
We draft your Contract of Purchase and Sale. BC law provides a 3-business-day Home Buyer Rescission Period after an offer is accepted.
The seller may accept, reject, or counter. I manage the negotiations on your behalf until we reach a mutual agreement.
Your homework: inspection, Property Disclosure Statement, title and strata review, and financing. Subject removal makes the deal binding.
A lawyer or notary handles the legal transfer, calculates Property Transfer Tax, and prepares the final closing funds for signature.
The legal transaction date. Ownership registers in your name at the Land Title Office as mortgage funds transfer to the seller's lawyer.
The most exciting step. You receive the key and we complete a final walkthrough before you move in.
