A real estate agent in Surrey, BC who works at your pace.
I'm Preet Singh, licensed with Rexara Realty Inc. I help first-time buyers, families and investors across Surrey and the Fraser Valley. No pressure, no jargon, and no question is too basic to ask me.
Real estate the way it should be. Honest. Prepared. Patient.
I'm Preet. I grew up in Delhi watching my family build homes, and I remember exactly what it felt like the first time a family got their keys.
That moment is why I got into real estate in Canada. Whether you're buying your first townhouse in Surrey or your third investment property in Chilliwack, I bring the same discipline I bring to the gym: over-prepare, stay calm, execute clean.

Most of the people I work with have never bought property in Canada before. Quite a few arrived here in the last few years. This is the part of the job I care about most, so here is how I actually handle it.
I go at your speed
First-time buyers need more viewings and more questions answered, and that is normal. You will never get a "so are we writing an offer today" from me. If you need to see twelve places before anything clicks, we see twelve places.
Plain words, every time
Subject removal, adjustments, Form B, completion versus possession. None of it is complicated once someone explains it properly, and most people were never given the chance. I will explain it as many times as you want.
I know these streets
Surrey is not one market, it is about seven. What $600,000 gets you in Newton is a different life from what it gets you in Cloverdale. I will tell you what you are giving up in each one, not just what you are getting.
Negotiating is preparation
Before you make an offer you will see the comparable sales, the days on market and the price history. The number is your decision, made on evidence. After the inspection, I will tell you when the right move is to push and when it is to walk.
You need a team, not just me
A mortgage broker, a lawyer or notary, a home inspector, an insurance broker. If you do not have them I will share a shortlist and you interview them yourself. If I ever stand to gain from an introduction, you get that in writing first.
You hear the bad news first
If a home has a real problem, you find out from me before you get attached to it. That has cost me sales. It is still the right way round, and it is why my clients send me their cousins.
The questions I get asked before anything else
Do I have to pay you?
How much do I actually need for a down payment?
What will it cost me on top of the purchase price?
Which first-time buyer programs do I qualify for?
I am new to Canada. Does that change anything?
Townhouse or condo for a first place?
One PDF. Down payment math, closing costs, every BC program, and twelve red-flag questions to ask before you sign.
Homes for sale in Surrey BC, and how to actually find yours
I don't run a listings feed on this site. Plenty of realtors in Surrey BC do, and almost all of it is the same MLS data you can already see for free, wrapped in someone's branding so you have to hand over your email to scroll it.
What a feed can't tell you is the part that actually matters. Whether that building has a re-piping bill coming. Whether the asking price is real or hopeful. Whether the unit two floors down went for forty thousand less in June.
So instead of a fake search box, here is what is genuinely happening in the market, what your budget gets you, and how to search properly.
What the market is actually doing
Fraser Valley Real Estate Board figures for August 2026. Real numbers, not a sales line.
| Property type | Benchmark price |
|---|---|
| Apartment / condo | $466,100 |
| Townhome | $750,600 |
| Detached | $1,319,600 |
| All types combined | $869,900 |
In August there were 9,787 homes on the market across the Fraser Valley and 941 of them sold. That works out to roughly one listing in ten finding a buyer that month.
If you are buying, that is a good position to be standing in. You get choice, you get time to think, and you get room to put proper conditions in your offer instead of waiving your inspection to win a bidding war. Homes were taking about five to six weeks to sell on average, so the right one is unlikely to vanish while you sleep on it.
One caveat I would rather say up front: these are board-wide numbers covering Surrey, North Delta, White Rock, Langley, Abbotsford and Mission. Your street will have its own number. The full monthly breakdown is here.
What your budget actually buys in Surrey
This is the question I get on almost every first call, so here is the honest version.
| Budget | What you are realistically looking at | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Under $500k | A one bedroom, or a small two bedroom condo, often in an older building | City Centre, Whalley, Guildford, parts of Newton |
| $500k to $700k | A proper two bed two bath condo, or an older townhouse | Newton, Guildford, Fleetwood, City Centre for newer builds |
| $700k to $900k | A three bedroom townhouse, usually newer, usually with a garage | Cloverdale, Clayton, Fleetwood, Panorama |
| $900k to $1.2m | A larger townhouse, or an older detached home needing work | Newton, Whalley, parts of Guildford |
| $1.2m and up | Detached, with the range widening fast above this | Most of Surrey, South Surrey at the top end |
These are the patterns I see day to day, not a price guarantee. Always check them against what is actually listed this week.
Condos for sale in Surrey BC
Most first purchases in this city are condos, and it is the part of the market where the unit matters least and the building matters most. Two identical looking apartments can be forty thousand dollars apart in real cost once you know what the strata has coming.
Before you get attached to a place, somebody needs to read the Form B, the depreciation report, the last two years of minutes and the budget. That is the work. I do it, and I will tell you plainly when a building is one I would walk away from.
Here is exactly what I look for in a strata package, written out so you can check it yourself.
Homes for sale in North Surrey
North Surrey covers City Centre and Whalley, Guildford, Fleetwood, Bolivar Heights and Bridgeview. It has the densest concentration of newer condo towers in the city, the best transit south of the Fraser, and the lowest entry price per square foot in Surrey.
It is also the area that changes fastest, and the one where building quality varies most from one block to the next. A house for sale in North Surrey at a suspiciously good price usually has a reason behind it, and finding that reason before you write the offer is the whole job.
The full neighbourhood breakdown is here, including what the SkyTrain extension actually means and how to check a school catchment properly.
Where Surrey homes for sale are really listed
Realtor.ca is the official one. It is run by the Canadian Real Estate Association and it carries everything on the board. It is free, it needs no signup, and I would rather you used it than a site that holds listings hostage behind a form.
REW, Zealty and Zolo are the same data in a different wrapper. Some have nicer filters. None of them have listings the others do not.
All of them lag. A new listing hits the board first and reaches the public sites anywhere from a few minutes to the next day later. In a normal market that gap does not matter much. On the good ones it does.
What I set up for clients is a search directly on the board system, filtered to exactly what you are after, that emails you the moment something matches. Then I do the part a search alert cannot: I look at each one, and I tell you which ones are not worth your Saturday.
It costs you nothing and there is no obligation attached to it. If you end up buying with someone else, that is genuinely fine.

Who you would actually be working with
Realtor, first-generation Canadian, bodybuilder, and a lifelong student of the game. That is the short version.
Before real estate I earned a Bachelor of Commerce at Delhi University, moved to Canada, and ran my own restaurant for a while. Food is still a serious passion and I will argue that Thai is a food group of its own.
When I decided to do this properly, I studied for a full year before I wrote the exam, got my BCFSA licence, and joined Rexara Realty Inc. here in Surrey. I did not want to be the agent learning the job on somebody else's purchase.
Outside work you will find me at the gym or on a cricket pitch. My Instagram handle is @dealsanddeadliffts and it is only half a joke. The discipline I bring to a squat rack is the same one I bring to a listing presentation. Over-prepare. Stay calm. Execute clean.
A lot of my conversations happen in Punjabi or Hindi, usually on WhatsApp, often at ten at night because that is when someone finally has a quiet moment to think. That is completely fine. Ask me the same question three times if you need to. I would much rather that than have you sign something you only half understood.
What I will not do
I will not tell you a place is a good deal because I want the commission on it. I will tell you to walk away from homes, and some months I tell people to keep renting for another year because the numbers genuinely do not work yet. If that costs me a deal, it costs me a deal.
I also will not pretend to be something I am not. I am a licensed real estate representative, not a mortgage broker, a lawyer or a home inspector. When a question belongs to one of them, I will say so and put you in front of the right person.
