Welcome to the West End!


I'm Tim Haig, a REALTOR® specializing in the West End and the downtown Vancouver peninsula. I love the West End for its diversity, beauty and accessibility — a cozy downtown neighbourhood set against the stunning backdrop of English Bay and Stanley Park. There are three main property types here: freehold strata/condos, shares in a coop and pre-paid leaseholds. There are also a limited number of detached homes.
