The Floathome Buying Journey

Step 1: Dream It

Imagine mornings spent sipping coffee on your deck, watching the water sparkle beneath the mountains. Visit local marinas, talk to residents, and experience the peaceful rhythm of life on the water that makes floathome living so special.

Step 2: Get Your Finances Afloat

Floathome financing is unique — but with the right advice, it’s smooth sailing. I’ll connect you with Greater Vancouver lenders who understand floathome mortgages and can help you navigate the process confidently.

Step 3: Find Your Perfect Marina

Each Lower Mainland marina has its own charm and personality:

• The urban energy of False Creek, Coal Harbour, and North Vancouver, where vibrant city living meets waterfront serenity.

• The relaxed, coastal charm of Richmond and Ladner, known for their friendly communities, gentle tides, and sunset views over the Fraser River.

• The peaceful riverside appeal of Langley, where a slower pace and close-knit atmosphere make for a truly tranquil retreat.

Together, we’ll find the perfect marina that matches your lifestyle and vision of home.
