Online marketing is crucial to successfully fully exposing your property to many potential buyers. One of the ways we here at DFH do this is with Adwerx online advertising. The following brief video gives you the details on how this works.

Feel free to contact me for additional details on Adwerx and other online marketing of your property.

You will not be able to book a self-contained non-principal residence short-term rental in British Columbia, Canada after May 1, 2024.

This is Part 2, the continuation of the winner and loser analysis of the stakeholders affect by the B.C. Short-Term Rental Accommodation Act on October 7, 2023. If you have not see Part 1 first then see the link below this video to view this first. It will make a lot more sense. 

Are you aware of the new B.C. short term rental ban effective May 1, 2024? Do you know what is happening? Are you thinking of buying one of these lucrative rental units? Or do you already own a legal licensed short-term vacation rental in B.C.?

You might be really sorry if you jump into this without knowing all the current changes in the Province of B.C. You need to find out who is working to protect your property rights. Stick around to the end for my assessment of who the winners are and who the losers are in this mess! (Part 1 or 2)
