Sebastian Czarkowski · REALTOR® · Royal LePage Elite West · Medallion Club · President’s Gold
Sebastian Czarkowski is a licensed REALTOR® with Royal LePage Elite West, representing sellers across Coquitlam and the full Tri-Cities market. He holds the Medallion Club designation, awarded annually to top-producing REALTORS® in Greater Vancouver by the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® board, and the President’s Gold designation recognizing sustained transaction performance across multiple years.
Sebastian’s listing approach is built on current market data — not estimates or intuition. He tracks every active listing, every sold transaction, and every price movement across Coquitlam’s sub-areas weekly, and uses that data to position listings correctly from day one. His platform at sebastianrealestate.ca publishes weekly MLS market reports, a BC Assessment Watch tool, and a suite of buyer calculators that drive informed buyer traffic directly to Coquitlam listings.
He specializes in residential resale and new construction across Coquitlam’s full price range — from entry-level condos in Maillardville and the Burquitlam corridor to detached homes in Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, and Ranch Park. His background in construction project management informs every property evaluation. Brokerage: Royal LePage Elite West, Coquitlam, BC.
Most listing agents in Coquitlam will tell you they can sell your home. Few can show you the data behind that claim — or the systems. Here is what Sebastian brings to every listing.
Sebastian prices every Coquitlam listing using current sold comparables filtered by sub-area, property type, square footage, and condition — updated to the week of listing. He does not rely on automated valuation models or dated CMAs. The pricing recommendation reflects what buyers in your specific Coquitlam neighbourhood are actually paying right now, not a market-wide average from three months ago.
sebastianrealestate.ca attracts buyers actively researching the Coquitlam market — through its weekly market reports, BC Assessment Watch, neighbourhood guides, and buyer calculators. These buyers are already engaged with Coquitlam real estate data before they contact an agent. Listings on sebastianrealestate.ca reach this audience directly, in addition to standard MLS and portal syndication.
Burke Mountain is Coquitlam’s most active new construction sub-market, with multiple builder phases running simultaneously. Sellers here face a unique challenge: competing against new builds with builder incentives and warranty. Sebastian tracks every active new build and recent resale in Burke Mountain by phase and street, and knows how to position a resale home — on price, condition, and lot characteristics — to compete effectively against new inventory.
The Lougheed and Burquitlam SkyTrain corridor attracts a specific buyer profile: transit-dependent buyers, investors tracking pre-sale completions, and buyers priced out of Burnaby. Sebastian understands what drives premium pricing in this corridor — floor level, view, walk score, proximity to the station — and positions condo and townhome listings to capture that buyer pool rather than competing purely on price per square foot.
Coquitlam is the largest of the three Tri-Cities municipalities by population and property count, which means the buyer pool is wider and more diverse than in Port Moody or Port Coquitlam. Sebastian’s marketing targets buyers across every relevant segment — local move-ups, Vancouver buyers relocating east, investors, and first-time buyers — and tailors listing positioning to the buyer profile most likely to pay full value for the specific property type and sub-area.
Sebastian’s BC Assessment Watch tracks the ratio between active listing prices and BC Assessment values across 1,600+ Tri-Cities listings every week. For sellers, this answers a critical question: is your sub-market currently pricing above or below assessed value, and by how much? That context directly informs listing price strategy and helps sellers avoid the two most common pricing mistakes — leaving money on the table or sitting unsold with an overpriced listing.
Sebastian publishes weekly absorption rates, days on market, and sale-to-list ratios for the Tri-Cities — broken down by property type and sub-area. For sellers considering timing, this data shows whether Coquitlam’s current conditions favour a quick list or a strategic wait. Most sellers make listing timing decisions based on general market sentiment; Sebastian’s clients make them based on current data specific to their property type and neighbourhood.
Sebastian’s open houses use a digital sign-in system that captures every attendee’s contact details and triggers automated follow-up through Mailchimp. No paper sheets, no lost contacts. Every buyer who walks through your Coquitlam home becomes a tracked lead — one who can be re-contacted when a price adjustment is made or when similar listings come to market. This system converts open house traffic into measurable buyer engagement.
Every Coquitlam listing gets a dedicated page with structured schema markup formatted for Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI assistants. A growing share of property searches now begin with a question asked to an AI — not a portal search. Sebastian’s listings are structured to appear in those answers, giving Coquitlam sellers reach beyond what standard MLS syndication provides.
The Medallion Club designation places Sebastian among the top-producing REALTORS® in Greater Vancouver, as recognized by the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® board. The President’s Gold designation reflects consistent results across multiple years and transaction types. Sebastian is owner-operated — sellers work directly with him from pricing consultation through to key handover, with no handoff to an assistant or junior team member.

Verified Google ReviewWhat does a listing agent do?
A listing agent represents the seller in a real estate transaction. Responsibilities include pricing the home based on current market data, preparing a marketing plan, listing on MLS, coordinating showings, reviewing offers, negotiating on the seller’s behalf, and managing the transaction through to completion. A strong listing agent brings current data, a defined marketing strategy, and direct market presence in the specific city and sub-area where the home is located.
How does Sebastian price a Coquitlam home for sale?
Sebastian prices Coquitlam listings using current MLS sold data filtered by sub-area, property type, square footage, and condition — updated to the week of listing. He does not rely on automated valuation models or city-wide averages. The pricing recommendation reflects what buyers in your specific Coquitlam neighbourhood are actually paying right now, cross-referenced against BC Assessment value and current active competition.
How long does it take to sell a home in Coquitlam?
Days on market in Coquitlam vary by sub-area, property type, and price point. Sebastian publishes weekly days-on-market data for the Tri-Cities at sebastianrealestate.ca/market-pulse/. Correctly priced homes in active sub-markets like Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau typically move faster than city-wide averages. Overpriced listings in any sub-area tend to accumulate days on market and require price reductions that erode final sale price.
What is Sebastian’s marketing plan for Coquitlam listings?
Sebastian’s listing marketing includes: MLS listing with professional photos, targeted digital advertising to buyer segments active in Coquitlam, distribution to his email subscriber base, social media promotion, and AI-optimized listing pages structured to appear in Google and AI assistant search results. Every listing gets a dedicated schema-marked page — giving Coquitlam sellers search visibility beyond standard portal syndication.
Does Sebastian handle Burke Mountain new construction listings?
Yes. Sebastian has active pricing data across all Burke Mountain phases and understands how to position a resale home against new construction with builder incentives and warranty. Sellers in Burke Mountain benefit from sub-area specific comparables, knowledge of lot premiums by phase and street, and a marketing approach that targets buyers comparing resale value against new build pricing.
Should I renovate before listing my Coquitlam home?
It depends on the sub-area, price point, and type of renovation. In Coquitlam, cosmetic updates — paint, flooring, fixtures — typically return more per dollar than structural or mechanical upgrades. Sebastian can advise on which improvements are worth doing in your specific neighbourhood based on what buyers are currently paying premiums for, and which investments are unlikely to be recovered in the sale price.
What are the costs of selling a home in Coquitlam?
Selling costs typically include: real estate commission (negotiated with your agent), legal fees (approximately $1,200–$1,800 for a standard sale), and any mortgage discharge penalties if applicable. There is no Property Transfer Tax on the sell side in BC. For a full breakdown, see the REALTOR® commission guide and complete seller closing costs in BC. Sebastian can provide a full net proceeds estimate before you commit to listing.
How does BC Assessment affect my Coquitlam asking price?
BC Assessment reflects estimated market value as of July 1 of the prior year — a lagging indicator that often diverges from current market conditions. Sebastian’s BC Assessment Watch tracks the ratio between active listing prices and BC Assessment values across 1,600+ Tri-Cities listings weekly, showing sellers whether their sub-market is currently pricing above or below assessed value and by how much.
Is now a good time to sell in Coquitlam in 2026?
Market conditions vary by sub-area and property type. Sebastian publishes weekly absorption rates, sale-to-list ratios, and days-on-market data for Coquitlam at sebastianrealestate.ca/market-pulse/ — giving sellers a current, data-backed picture of whether their specific sub-market favours sellers or buyers at the time they are considering listing.
