Vancouver real estate: answer local and international buyers in their language
Vancouver listings draw inquiries in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Persian and English, and some come from outside Canada. DICE answers from your listing pages in the buyer’s language, qualifies the lead and books the showing.
Real estate in Vancouver: what is different
- Real estate licensees in BC are regulated by the BC Financial Services Authority. The agent shares listing facts; advice stays with your licensees.
- A federal restriction limits purchases of residential property by non-Canadians. Buyers from abroad ask; the agent points to your page on it and books a call with an agent.
- Presale condo questions are common. The agent answers from your presale pages and passes contract questions to your team.
Languages your customers use
In Metro Vancouver many inquiries arrive in Cantonese, Mandarin, Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Persian or Vietnamese, often from family members writing for an older relative. English replies still work for most, but a first answer in the customer’s language keeps the conversation going.
Rules that shape your replies
Private organizations in British Columbia follow BC’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) instead of PIPEDA for most personal information. CASL still governs commercial emails and texts across Canada: consent, identification and unsubscribe.
DICE keeps each customer’s data inside your tenant, lets you export or erase a customer’s record on request, and logs consent with its source. Follow-ups stop on any opt-out word in six languages.
Rules change. Check the current text with the regulator or your advisor; this page is general information, not legal advice.
