Sunstar Realty rental listings will now be posted on Real Estate Channel as well. Click here: to see rental property listings at Real Estate Channel
On top of all other marketing effects we already have in place to sell our rental properties on behalf of our investor landlord clients, we have just started another initiative with Real Estate Channel. This is a one year trial to see if the addition TV exposure + their internet supplemental presence of Real Estate Channel can increase our rent properties' exposure to prospective tenants in the market place.
All rental properties currently for rent managed by Sunstar or marketed by Sunstar will be posted on their portal which will be featured on their TV network and also be listed on their website. TV ads are 30 seconds each with 7 real estate photos aninated to professional voiceovers. Web ads come with photo gallery, maps, property description and simultaneous craigslist postings as well.

We have a solid team of dedicated licensed rental managers and unlicensed staff members trained to the highest degree of customer service skills and accommodating attitudes to ensure a high quality & professional experience for both our landlords and tenants. We boast one of the highest staff to managed properties ratio in Vancouver. Our property management division only manage rentals, we do not manage strata corporations, we do not manage apartment blocks and we are getting out of commercial properties.

Our Properties: We manage rental properties in Vancouver, North Shore, Burnaby and Richmond. Our core focus areas are Vancouver Downtown and Vancouver Westside.

Our Marketing: Our very strong marketing program is your sharpest edge in attracting high quality tenants. High quality architectural style photo tours detailing every aspect of the property quite often help us secure tenancies without the tenant ever setting foot on site. Our relentless ongoing advertisings saturate the marketplace so any potential tenants in the market simply cannot escape running into our website. Our long established reputation as a fair and responsive landlord has gained us raving fans in the tenants community, human resource industry, the film industry and the relocation industry.

____________________________________________________________________________
Sales Division: We have a completely separate real estate trading division with 50 to 60 licensed real estate sales representatives to serve all your real estate needs. Buying or selling through Sunstar is not a condition of our management agreement. In fact, we never interfere with your existing established agency relationships with other fellow licensed brokerages. We fully cooperate, work with and also work for many licensed Realtors and real estate brokerages in Vancouver. However, if you do not already have a Realtor and choose to use Sunstar as your sales representative, we offer a whole range of real estate services from MLS listing services, first time buyer packages, investment acquisition for investors, land assembly, development consulting, to commercial trading throughout Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley.

Vancouver Real Estate Slows, Sunstar Rental Business Booms
Vancouver real estate market slowed down by a large margin in the past few months compared to the same period last year. But our rental management division enjoyed unprecedented growth during the same period.
- Large numbers of presold condos are now completing with all the investors owners looking for tenants at the same time.
- Investors with multiple vacant properties on the resale market are starting to feel the pinch and are beginning to rent out brand new properties to ease cashflow.
- Large numbers of tenants who bought a few years ago are now vacating their rental homes to move in to their newly completed homes
These are just a few reasons contributing to a very busy summer for our property management managers and staff here at Sunstar.
The top end luxury homes market has been exceptionally active. A large number of very high end homes had been incorporated into our portfolio in the past few months.
Here are a few new exciting rental homes:

Vancouver Furnished Rental: High End Short Term Rental
Vancouver is hot. Corporate executives, movie directors, movie stars, renowned architects, oil industry executives, forest industry moguls, and financial world darlings are flocking to Vancouver for business trips and short adventurous get-aways.
Downtown One Wall Centre is still the hottest fully furnished short term destination property for high end tenants. Excellent service plus exceptional amenities will for sure hold One Wall Centre as a valid contender for the top spot amidst new comers' competitions from Shangri-la & Ritz-Carlton.
Sunstar Realty Ltd.'s fully furnished rental team already is the top managing agent for the One Wall Centre furnished suites, is ready for a new experience in managing 6 stars Shangri-la & Ritz-Carlton suites when they are available in the next few months.

MyBCrental.com: passed 10M Hits in 2007
Record web traffic to http://www.mybcrental.com/ in 2007: A total of 93,345 unique visitors with over 10 million page hits. A lot of renters and landlords checking out Sunstar Realty Ltd., that's for sure. Interesting to find out that the most popular page is our Westside portfolio page.
We now have over 250 properties in our portfolio with majority of the new properties we took on in the past year located in Downtown Vancouver.
We are positive that 2008 will be another record breaking year for us as we continue to expand our territories. There are just so many rentals available out there! Lots of presold condos are completing all over the map. Lots of investors are looking for good managers. And lots of investors who took possession of their condos a few years back will start to find managing tenancies ain't easy. So who knows, in 2008 we might end up passing the 400 mark! My headache really isn't new businesses any more, it's where to find good quality staff!

Sunstar Realty Office Makeover Completed
Ever since we've opened shop in 1994, our office essentially has been unchanged....until:
Vicki, our relocation and furnished specialist, joined us a couple of years ago. One of her very strong skillsets she brought to Sunstar is the ability to furnish executive homes fabulously for our clients with high end Downtown condos.
She painstakingly scouted for great furniture and art pieces for us, and headed the much needed makeover for our office in the latter half of 2007. The finished product is amazing: click here for slideshow

MyBCrental.com: >1.0 M Hits in May
In the year 2000, when almost all other property management companies in Vancouver still relied mostly on expensive classified ads for marketing rental properties, we at Sunstar Realty Ltd. started http://www.mybcrental.com/ and never blindly gave away our clients' hard earned dollars to newspaper companies ever since.
Six years later, http://www.mybcrental.com/ is one of the most popular sites amongst the Lower Mainland renters communities. In May 2006, for the first time, our site logged over one million hits for the first time attracting almost 8,700 unique visitors looking for rental properties and shopping for rental property management service.
Nowadays we just laugh when we still see other rental agencies and landlords throwing their bottom line out the window paying ridiculous rates for classified ads going up to $280 per week for a single 4-line ad.
From Sunstar Realty Ltd., we say thank you Vancouver for supporting our marketing plan and we guarantee our site will always deliver the most satisfactory online experience for your real estate needs.

Sunstar Realty 2005 Xmas Dinner
Sunstar Realty 2005 Christmas Dinner
Just came back from our office Christmas party. This is our 11th annual Christmas dinner. 60 people turned up, not bad for a small independent firm. And it was snowing outside. The food was great and atmosphere quite lively. This year, after extreme due diligence in the venue selection process by Kelly (our lovely and ever so reliable office admin lady), we picked a newly opened Cantonese seafood restaurant in Richmond. The mix was quite something: we had a Chinese table with mostly Cantonese Canadians from H.K.; a Mandarin table mostly Taiwan immigrants; a Quai Lo table with Caucasian agents; a Korean table with agents who barely just understand English; a staff table and wow a children table filled with kids and their Sunstar Xmas gifts: Bionicle robots!

2005 in a Capsule | Rental Property Management Chapter 2
Property Management Automation
Several Milestones for Sunstar Realty Property Management Division in 2005:
1. Managed rental portfolio now close to 150
2. http://www.mybcrental.com/ got a major upgrade in the Rentals section. We have integrated functional interactive Google Maps with our property listings . Click here to see Sunstar Rental Listings in Downtown Vancouver
3. Property Management Automation in the works. We have recently purchased a completely automated backoffice software for our property management division. A network server has been built and hopefully implementation of the new system will be complete by March 2006.
4. On-line Data Distribution System in the works. By mid-2006, we can stop printing/mailing/stamping envelopes for monthly statements distribution to investor clients. Yeah! With the help from programmers at http://www.hopstudios.com/ , we are building a web-based document distribution system for clients to log-in at http://www.mybcrental.com/ to download statements, tenancy agreements, etc.
2005 in a Capsule | Real Estate Brokerage Chapter 1
Several exciting events at Sunstar Realty Trading Divison in 2005:
1. Sales volume and total units sold blew past 2004 records before year end
2. Number of sales representatives at Sunstar increased to more than 50. Click here to see Sunstar Realty Trading Division
3. Celebrated our 11th year in business. We are still an independent. Since 1994 we saw real estate companies came and went. I personally witnessed at least 10 companies along the Kingsway corridor folded in the past 11 years. Some small firms, some national franchises. Well, we are still trucking along happily. Big franchises? No thanks.
