A letter, instead of a bio.
Most agent pages read like a résumé wrote them. This one is just me, telling you what I'd tell you across the table.

I grew up here. Went to Centennial Secondary, played Coquitlam Minor Hockey, and now spend my time at the same parks, pools and rinks you'll find on this site's neighbourhood pages.
Licensed since 2009, I've sold more than three hundred homes. But the number I'm proudest of is: eighty percent of my business is referrals and repeat clients. Many families are on their second or third move with me and now their kids are starting to buy their first homes.
Attending nearly every inspection and spending years learning the expensive quirks of our housing stock, I've educated clients about poly-B plumbing, aluminum wiring, non-rainscreened buildings, strata health and underground storage tanks — because catching those things is what actually protects you. I coached new agents for three years, and have invested in real estate too.
My goal is to protect your budget and ensure your next move is predictable, protected, and a stress-free move into a home suited for your household's next chapter.

Born and raised in the Lower Mainland — my mother is from Fukuoka, my father from Osaka; they came to Canada in 1981. I've helped many Japanese families buy and sell in the Tri-Cities, and I know the customs and details that matter — I'm watching for them on every transaction, without you having to ask. Email works best in English; in person, Japanese is always welcome.

I’ve worked one market since 2009, and I’d rather know four areas street by street than twenty by name.
Coquitlam →Where I grew up and where I’m based. Central Coquitlam, Maillardville, Burquitlam and the streets around Como Lake and Mundy Park.
Port Moody →From Moody Centre and the villages at Newport and Suter Brook up to Heritage Mountain.
Port Coquitlam →Both sides of the tracks, from Citadel Heights and Mary Hill to Riverwood.
North Burnaby →Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill and Brentwood, across North Road from West Coquitlam.Every listing gets the full treatment: professional photography, floor plans, brochures and signage, plus pre-listing coordination and a vetted trades bench for cleaning, handyman work and storage. Pricing comes from recent comparable sales in your own neighbourhood, and you’ll know where things stand at each step.
It starts with a free home evaluation. I reply the same day, and there’s no obligation.
Every offer is written and negotiated in your best interest, with pricing based on recent comparable sales and current demand in your area. Before that, I do the research most buyers don’t know to ask for: the school catchment for the exact address, the strata’s financial health, and what the house is hiding. Support continues after closing.
You can search every MLS® listing on this site, from every brokerage.
Older homes in the Tri-Cities and North Burnaby have predictable weak points, and catching them is what protects you.
I attend nearly every inspection, so these are caught before you commit, not after.
"Responsive, data-driven, and refreshingly honest — the kind of realtor who tells you what you need to hear. Hiroshi helped us negotiate a purchase price over $100,000 under asking, and he was by our side through every step of the sale, purchase, and close."
"Our trusted realtor through two purchases and one sale. Patient, dependable and honest with us always. You don't know how much you need a Realtor until things get really real — Hiroshi's thoughtful, tempered approach made all the difference."
