RE/MAX Crest Realty – Richmond

What RE/MAX Crest Realty – Richmond does

RE/MAX Crest Realty – Richmond, as represented in the source data, is a single-agent real estate practice operated by Vicky Kao, who has been licensed since 2012 and works under the Royal Pacific Realty Group brokerage (with prior or alternate RE/MAX Crest Realty branding referenced). The practice is headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, and serves the Greater Vancouver market including Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Core offerings span residential sales, commercial real estate transactions, project marketing (including pre-sales), strata management advisory, and rental property services. The operational stack consists of the myRealPage website platform for digital presence and lead capture, a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) Home Evaluation tool, a mortgage calculator, buyer's and seller's guides, and a community newsletter. Listings are distributed through the MLS Reciprocity programs of the Greater Vancouver REALTORS (GVR), Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), and Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB), with additional marketing conducted via WeChat to reach Mandarin-speaking clients.

The business model is commission-based: revenue is generated as a percentage of transaction value on each buy-side or sell-side deal closed. No subscription, retainer, or recurring pricing exists. The primary customer segment is individual residential buyers and sellers in the mid-market range, with secondary exposure to real estate investors and commercial clients. There are no disclosed financials, no funding events, no headcount trend data, and no enterprise or institutional customers; the practice is structurally a solo-agent operation augmented by brokerage infrastructure.
