Not Your Typical Realtor. Not Your Typical Realtor Bio.
Let’s be honest—most real estate agent bios are boring, filled with awards and fluff that don’t actually help you. That’s not what I’m about.
You’re here because buying or selling a home is a big deal, and you want real answers, real guidance, and real results. You want to feel confident, informed, and empowered—not overwhelmed by the process.
That’s exactly why I do what I do.
I help people build wealth and financial security through real estate by providing proven strategies, expert guidance, and a clear roadmap for success. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, my goal is to help you make smart, strategic moves that align with your long-term financial goals.
So, if you’re looking for someone who just “sells houses,” I’m probably not your guy. But if you want a trusted advisor who helps you make smart, strategic decisions in real estate—let’s talk.
Alright, that said, let’s move on to some common questions people ask.
Will You Return My Calls and Emails?
Yes. Without question.
I realize this is one of the major frustrations the general public has with dealing with real estate agents. Although I get dozens of calls and emails each day, I guarantee that I will respond to all your queries in a very timely manner. In fact, if for some reason I don’t, I’ll pay you $1,000 on closing!
Many REALTORS Seem to Only Care About the Commission. Are You Like That?
Absolutely not. My business is built on working with referrals. Although I have closed hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate transactions, building long-term relationships with my clients is far more important to me.
When you choose to work with me I’ll be here for you before, during and, long after the transaction. In fact, I regularly host client appreciation events that many of my clients come to time again.
Do You Have Experience Doing Exactly What I Need?
Until you tell me what you need, there is no way of knowing. These are a few “strong suits” of mine:
- Selling – Marketing and selling homes for top dollar. (Here’s my book)
- Buying – How to save money and eliminate risk when buying a home. (Here’s my other book)
- Relocating – Helping clients navigate the changes and challenges of relocating to a new area.
- Investment Properties – Locating and aynalizing real estate investment opportunities.
If your goal or situation isn’t represented on that list, don’t worry. Contact me anyway. If I can’t help, I can get you referred to another agent who can.
What Kind of Work Are You Really Good At?
On a personal level, I’m pretty good at cooking (I make a mean spaghetti!), and I’m not too shabby at DIY projects (if I can watch a guy on Youtube do it, usually I can too).
On a professional level, here are the skill-sets that I’ve developed over the years:
- Listening. Unfortunately, it’s a lost art these days.
- Marketing. Not to toot my own horn buuuut… with over 17 years as a full-time marketing consultant and author of two books on the subject, I have yet to meet another Realtor that comes even close to me in this area.
- Negotiations. I’m a Certified Negotiations Expert. I have a degree in psychology and I’ve studied and practiced negotiations for years. So the bottom line is this; I always get my clients the best possible deal and I regularly save them tens of thousands of dollars.
What Areas Do You Work In?
While I am licensed to buy and sell real estate anywhere in British Columbia, my expertise is in buying and selling homes in White Rock, South Surrey, and surrounding areas. I have lived and worked in White Rock / South Surrey for over 20 years.
What Do Your Clients Think of You?
My clients are better suited to answer this for you. Here’s what some of them have said…
“Thank YOU so much for all your hard work and modern marketing plans to get it done so quickly and for so much more than I dared dream possible!!!” #bestrealtorever – Sandra Ciccozzi Hartree
“I’m excited about having just bought a new condo and let me tell you this: If you are looking for an AMAZING realtor here in the Greater Vancouver area, Glen Hopkins is your guy!!!! Thanks, Glen for your hard work!” – Colin McDougall
“Glen was thoroughly professional throughout. He backed himself and his research. He was excellent in communicating feedback to us and exceeded our expectations of a Realtor. We would absolutely recommend him to all our friends and family when buying or selling their home.” – Gayle & Ron Huff
How Can I Get Started?
Schedule a quick, no-obligation 3-minute call, and ask me anything on your mind. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring your options, I’m here to provide clear answers and expert guidance.
If it makes sense, we can set up a sit-down meeting to go over your goals in more detail and map out the best strategy for you. No pressure—just a friendly conversation to help you move forward with confidence.
