Jessica Chen-Sargent PREC,

Risk Management

Too often, we hear stories in the news of home buyers or sellers being caught up in scams or real estate deals that turned bad. Jessica has a wealth of experience and can help you prevent these situations from happening. Jessica has always operated from an ethical risk management stance to provide the best, comprehensive service to her clients. This focus on risk management helps you to protect yourself in your real estate transactions. From the focus on “Buyer Beware” to Disclosure documents protecting sellers, Jessica ensures that you have the proper representation in all real estate business, your risks are minimized, and your investment is protected. She was mentored by John Grasty (long-time Port Moody realtor, homeowner protection advocate, co-founder of the Coalition of Leaky Condo Owners) for almost 10 years before John retired, and now that Jessica runs her own business, she conducts real estate transactions with the same values that she and John shared. Moreover, she offers the same consumer protection, minimizing risk, and helps her clients to make informed decisions. Whether you are buying real estate or selling your home, working with Jessica is a smart choice!

Locally Based

Jessica Chen-Sargent and her family live and work in the Tri-Cities area of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody. Because she lives and works here, and her child goes to school here, she knows the area better than realtors who live in other Vancouver-area communities. She has worked serving clients from Vancouver to Maple Ridge for several years to buy and sell homes and real estate investments, so she knows the Lower Mainland well-enough to leverage her expertise to your maximum advantage.

Jessica knows the market, the neighbourhoods, and the communities. She makes it her business so she can serve you better. Her buyers and sellers are confident in their real estate transactions as a result. Jessica stays on top of local politics, bylaws, and developments, and discusses changes in the local real estate community with her colleagues. By staying involved in the Lower Mainland, Jessica is able to have that knowledge base to better serve clients looking to sell or buy real estate and protect their investments.

Trilingual

A major advantage in working with Jessica is that she is trilingual. Born in China and university educated in Canada, Jessica not only offers service in English, but she is also fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese. Jessica’s trilingualism gives you the competitive edge with so many Asian buyers and sellers in our local market.

Jessica knows the culture and she knows the customs. She knows how Asian real estate deals progress and she can negotiate on a different level than many of her fellow realtors. It would be a particular asset for you if you have someone on your side who speaks the language, knows the customs, and understands the negotiation strategies of both Asian nationals and Canadians.
