Born in Richmond BC, educated in the UK, Duncan began his career in real estate in rural England in 1985. This was followed by 10 years selling homes in London, England (over C$150,000,000 in sales volume). In 1996 he returned to Vancouver, using his experience to set the foundations of long term sustainable business. In 1998 he earned his first industry recognition award and just three years later, Duncan had become the #1 Royal LePage Realtor in Vancouver. He is now recognized in the Top 1% of all Greater Vancouver Realtors and the Top 1% in Canada for Royal LePage.

Duncan sees real estate as a lifetime vocation and takes both his profession and his clients' needs very seriously. When he endorses a decision made by one of his clients it is not to ensure a quick closing or an easy commission. It is because, based on his knowledge, experience and understanding of the clients' needs, that it is the very best move for them. His goal is that every person who uses his services becomes a long-term client and that they feel comfortable recommending him to anyone they know.

"Edith and I just wanted to send our sincere thank you for all of the hard work put into seling our unit at 2811 Alder! We really appreciate everything you have done and wish you all the best in the future. I have attached a small contribution to help those in need. Thanks again and keep in touch!"

  

"Edie and I still talk about the phenomenal service you and your team were able to provide us on our purchase and subsequent sale of 1705 Nelson Street. Since then we have worked with a couple of realtors in Toronto that if anything, highlighted the personal style and professionalism that we experienced with you."

  Michael Jenkins

"We engaged Duncan Brown to sell our home in April 2007. We chose Duncan from a number of different realtors as he presented us with what we believed to be the best marketing strategy for our home. He understood the demands of the Vancouver real estate market and greatly assisted in getting us above the target sale price that we wanted.

All throughout the sales process, Duncan provided us with valuable advice and support to ensure that our house looked at its very best for open houses and viewings he arranged. The house sold within a week of being listed with a minimal amount of disruption to us.

We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Duncan as a realtor as he made the stressful process of selling a home a great deal easier."

  Abi and Mark

"Wow, when you make a recommendation you don't fool around. The unit is now sold and a couple weeks from possession. It all went rather quickly and Duncan's aggressive pricing and marketing put me in the very favourable position of choosing between multiple offers. I was very happy with the final price, completion date and terms of the sale. He was great, very responsive and took care of much of everything for me. Now we're just waiting for the final paperwork to fly around. All of that was so great, especially considering I am out of town and didn't even get a chance to meet him in person. Thanks again for sending his name my way."

  Monika

"Well, you've done it again! Another great real estate investment for us. We took possession on Friday and are thrilled. All the finishings etc are beautiful and the floor plan is great. By the way, the bathroom counter top that we were concerned about because of what looked like cracks, was replaced. We were very pleased that they responded to our concerns. What a great location! So thanks again for giving us the heads up on this one."

  Moira and Charlie

"I have been watching the market in the West End through MLS.ca for the last five months. It is interesting to see four units at the Westport languish on the market. Both Jane and I feel very fortunate to have made the decision to travel to Vancouver in January, perform the work on the condo, and to have especially found such a competent and helpful realtor in yourself. I would like to thank you once again for your excellent work and that of your staff. I hope all is well with you and should we ever have the chance to recommend you in the future, we would be happy to do so."

  Dave Hayward

"Your content is truly a breath of fresh air, vastly differently from the shill-type comments about Olympics, 'everyone wants to move here', yada, yada, yada that one seems to hear from every realtor. I will be contacting you again for your services or at the very least, I will certainly mention you to any friends and colleagues interested in securing the services of a realtor."

  Dionisio Santos

"We are extremely happy about the way things turned out. Thanks for all your help and knowledge in selling our place. We couldn't have been in better hands! We are now excited about going house shopping and feel in a much better situation to buy."

  Jason, Rachel and Julia

"I still remember those pearls of wisdom you said to me about 4 years ago when I was hesitating to make an offer on my current place - I asked you what you thought and you replied with 'Dave, it's worth every penny'. This was some of the best advice I had received from anyone at anytime."

  David Rowan

"We can't thank you enough for the way you helped us. Your professionalism and knowledge made us feel very confident, and made an otherwise stressful situation a very enjoyable one. As first time homebuyers, we could not have asked for better service."

  Matt Brown

"Thank you for assisting Jennifer and us selling her apartment on Burrard and finding her a new home on West 7th. Your dedication as well as your patience with a young client like her…was highly appreciated. Being a realtor myself I know what it means to go the extra mile. Our family has no hesitation to recommend your services to anybody. You are certainly our Vancouver Connection."

  Reiner Stass

"I cannot say enough good things about Duncan. He displayed the highest levels of integrity and professionalism from our initial meeting through the closing process. Duncan's extensive knowledge of the Downtown and Westside Condo market gave me a great sense of security and confidence as a first-time homebuyer.

I would recommend Duncan to anyone without hesitation."

  Glyn Davies

"I don't think my quick thank you conveyed how much Betsy and I appreciate your work on our behalf. Selling a leasehold condo in three weeks, in October, is exceptional. During the three weeks, we appreciated your regular calls offering current status, feedback from Realtors and interested parties who viewed the apartment, pre-clearing with us when you were showing it, and such.

Comfort with a Realtor is crucial, and we were comfortable with your resourceful, low key and knowledgeable style - in short, your integrity. Thanks."

  Brian Hodgins

"Duncan helped us find a brilliant townhouse in the Kitsilano area. He was very knowledgeable about all of Vancouver's niche areas, extremely professional and a tremendous help to us. Primarily though he was exceeding patient even as our search criteria changed over time. We would definitely recommend Duncan if you were looking to purchase a home in the Vancouver area."

  Julian and Sara Mais

"I want to thank you for making our West End townhouse purchase a safe and pleasurable experience. We were recommended to you by another real estate agency as you were known as the downtown Vancouver condo and townhouse expert. We were not disappointed. Your knowledge of the condo market and your ability to spot warning signs of potentially problematic buildings was invaluable to ensure we did not purchase a leaky or potentially leaky condo.

Once the decision was finally made, you were instrumental in handling all the little thing that seem to appear when you buy a property, especially when we had to return to Calgary for 8 weeks. It shows that you really care about your clients and the service you provide. Once again thanks, for making our home purchase and move to Vancouver less stressful.

I know who we will be calling when we are ready to sell our townhouse." (And they did!)

  Patrick and Joann Chatterton

"Duncan was the perfect buffer between us and the myriad unexpected things that can occur in a selling and buying situation. His advice was always most freely given, and was of enormous help to us (and was certainly beyond the call of duty more than once!). He went out of his way on repeated occasions to make our lives easier during what would have been an almost intolerably stressful sale and purchase: his straightforwardness, honesty, and plain old pleasantness were a delightful surprise, and a constant comfort. Would we recommend Duncan to others? Absolutely, and without reservation!!"

  Nicholas & Anne-Simone Seiflow

From the running around delivering letters to my tenants, to the phone calls to keep me updated, to the amazing attention to detail. All with such efficiency, cooperation and pleasantness…..All for somebody you had never met! I will remember your excellent service for many years."

  Julie Hobart

Thank you for helping us find our beautiful new home in False Creek. We are extremely happy here, and are especially enjoying the sea wall and market. You were quick to gain a sense of our tastes and needs. All of the places you showed us were suitable and interesting. Due to your competence and hard work, we were confident in our final choice. Your courtesy was much appreciated. You were very pleasant to work with. You provided the proper balance of distance when we needed time to think, and promptness when issues needed taking care of. We will be happy to recommend your services to our friends and associates."

  Scott Chapman & Janya Freer

"I think it would be entirely fair to describe Duncan as a true professional in every sense. He has a relaxed and affable manner which clients seem to respond to very favourably, coupled with an innate ability to identify who is likely to buy and sell what, and at what price. His unpressurised, almost charming way of conducting business has never compromised his undoubted ability to close a deal, certainly not in my experience."

  Andrew Harris

"I have known Duncan Brown for the last decade….He has assisted me in the purchase and sale of 8 properties. Duncan has always helped me to buy property at a very reasonable price and at the time of sale always achieved the highest market price and completed the purchase and sale with the utmost efficiency and speed. In all my dealings with him he was always extremely accommodating and courteous. He is hardworking and trustworthy and in my opinion is very successful.
