About Joy

Genuine care.
Professional guidance.

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.

"The best service is attentive, honest, and always puts the person first. That's how I work with every client."
Detail-Oriented
Strata docs, AGM minutes, the fine print — so nothing surprises you.
Calm Guidance
Real estate can be stressful. I keep things clear, steady, and focused.
Educational
Every step explained, so you decide with confidence, not guesswork.
Community
Proudly serving Vancouver's Filipino community and newcomer families.

The Process

From first call to keys in hand

A clear, guided process — so you always know what's happening and what comes next.

01
Consultation & Pre-Approval

We define your goals and budget, review the DORTS form, and you secure mortgage pre-approval to confirm your buying power.

02
Search & Strategy

You receive MLS alerts and we tour homes together. Once you find "the one," a Comparative Market Analysis shapes your offer strategy.

03
The Offer & Rescission Period

We draft your Contract of Purchase and Sale. BC law provides a 3-business-day Home Buyer Rescission Period after an offer is accepted.

04
Negotiation

The seller may accept, reject, or counter. I manage the negotiations on your behalf until we reach a mutual agreement.

05
Due Diligence & Subject Removal

Your homework: inspection, Property Disclosure Statement, title and strata review, and financing. Subject removal makes the deal binding.

06
Conveyance & Closing

A lawyer or notary handles the legal transfer, calculates Property Transfer Tax, and prepares the final closing funds for signature.

07
Completion Day

The legal transaction date. Ownership registers in your name at the Land Title Office as mortgage funds transfer to the seller's lawyer.

08
Possession Day

The most exciting step. You receive the key and we complete a final walkthrough before you move in.
