A comparison between figures for first five months of 2016 and 2019 show sales volumes and numbers down by nearly three-quarters (75%) for the top 100 realtors of 2016.
For example, controversial realtor Sandra Li, initially with New Coast Realty and now with LeHomes Realty, sold 62 homes by end of May in 2016 fetching $94 million. This year, she has only had eight sales totalling $8.2 million. This reflects a 87% percent drop in sales numbers and 91% drop in sales volume.
Layla Yang, a household name in Vancouver, has seen her sales count drop from 38 to eight and sales volumes fall 85% from $111 million to just $16.2 million.
Ken Cui, who belongs to the controversial agency NuStream Realty, saw his sales number plummet 62% from 62 to 26, and sales volumes down 73% from $105 million to $28 million.

All data in this article refers to reported sales made as the listing agent only, and does not cover private sales – including private presales, shadow flips and all other forms of real estate transactions that parties outside the transaction are not privy to. There may be a delays in sales being reported.
Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that Trevor Street of Keller Williams Elite Realty in Coquitlam had made no sales so far this year. We were wrong. The number of reported sales for Mr. Street so far this year is four.
We apologize to Mr. Street for this error.
As well, we did not make it clear that all data in this article refers to reported sales made as the listing agent only, and does not cover private sales – including private presales, shadow flips and all other forms of real estate transactions that parties outside the transaction are not privy to. We also did not make it clear that there may be a delays in sales being reported.
Mr. Street also asserts that he has sold over 80 homes. While we have asked Mr. Street for evidence, Mr. Street has provided none and we have no means of independently verifying this claim.
north van sales /prices appears to be doing well by comparison. What gives?
Hi I’m Trevor Street and what you’re posting is a lie. I’m not sure where you get your data from, but we’re up to around 80 sales for the year thus far.
What your posting is libel and I’ll politely ask you remove it forthwith.
Thank you
Here’s your disclaimer you stick at the end of every listing: “The data relating to real estate on this website comes in part from the MLS® Reciprocity program of either the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV), the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) or the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB). Real estate listings held by participating real estate firms are marked with the MLS® logo and detailed information about the listing includes the name of the listing agent. This representation is based in whole or part on data generated by either the REBGV, the FVREB or the CADREB which assumes no responsibility for its accuracy. The materials contained on this page may not be reproduced without the express written consent of either the REBGV, the FVREB or the CADREB.”
Even the real estate boards don’t assume any responsibility for the accuracy of their data, yet, you want to sue for libel over a data discrepancy?
And if you sue these guys, you will have to reveal all your sales contracts under disclosure, and will eventually become publicly available as part of the court record.
How would your clients feel about their names becoming public?
This data is absolutely not accurate! Doesn’t account for teams and realtors with 10 people working for them! Their sales are not included in these numbers with the data collection! Absolutely inaccurate article!
Your data is absolutely incorrect! What bullshit recording. My team has done more than double what you are claiming. What a ridiculous excuse for an article. You should be ashamed.
Hi there,
Your statistics attributed to the listed agents are incorrect and I would encourage you to verify with a different source in order to save you further revisions to your writing.
In addition, “Shadow Flipping” is a practice that the vast majority of agents do not take part in nor do they endorse and should not referred to in any sort of tabulation of legitimate and actual statistic. It is a disgusting practice undertaken by a few select agents that the rest of the real estate community would hope leave the industry expediently.
With respect, irresponsible reporting without true fact or including half truths for sensationalism only work to deface an industry that is, with the exception of a very small number of “bad apples”, comprised of hard working individuals who give back to their communities and truly work in the best interests of their clients.
As in every profession there are members who do not respect their chosen trade as they should, yet I implore you to not paint us all with the same brush.
Why exactly is any of this information newsworthy? Sales go sales go down? So what?!
“an industry that is, with the exception of a very small number of “bad apples”, comprised of hard working individuals who give back to their communities and truly work in the best interests of their clients.”
Thanks for the morning laugh.
I don’t know if the information in this article is correct or not . However, I cannot find the name of the author of this article. I find that omission interesting since the realtors involved clearly identify themselves, but the author doesn’t even though he or she makes some claims about property sales that are to say the least , disputed . Good journalists stand behind their work . How about a little transparency here.
One more thing about the issue of “shadow flipping ” a practice which seems to get everyone’s shorts in a bunch. Couldn’t this practice be either reduced or eliminated by including a clause in the sales contract explicitly prohibiting assignment of the contract to anyone else? Such a clause could be part of the standard sales contract or could be added by individual sellers or their lawyers. Why can’t something like this be done quickly by the real estate industry ?
Good suggestion, there is now a prohibition against the buyer profiting from assignment in the standard BCREA contract, without the sellers written consent. The most egregious examples of underselling occurred when a homeowner was approached directly (investors hired unlicensed solicitors) and sold privately enticed in part by the idea of bypassing the agent and saving the commission. Agents are liable for not getting market value for a property and carry mandatory insurance which protects the consumer. There is no law against someone approaching a homeowner directly and swindling them out of their most valuable asset.
My my my.
The Realtors doth protest too loudly.

Hope you paid your taxes for 2018……..
