Selling tenanted properties takes a special type of skill and a type of realtor that knows how to work with not only their client (the landlord), but also with the tenant and when managed the property manager.

There are a lot of moving parts, people, personalities, laws, concerns and more to handle. If these are not handled with care and empathy HUGE problems can occur.

In this episode of Bamboo - Vancouver's Property Management & Investment Podcast, we welcome back Robyn Lau of EXP realty and get into the nuts and bolts of how to sell tenanted properties the right way.
