Whether in a rising market or a cooling one, navigating the homebuying process is always tricky, and expert advice is always welcome – especially if it’s free.
Now in its 25th silver anniversary year, the HAVAN (formerly Greater Vancouver Home Builder’s Association) Homebuyer Forum 2019 will take place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Burrard Street in Vancouver, Wednesday evening, March 6.
