Buying a new development pre-sale in Vancouver? Get represtentation from a REALTOR know your rights. I wrote a post on this last week. Take a look and watch the video from CBC's Marketplace program.
UPDATE (January 30, 2008) - I recieved an email from Lumen today. It looks like I can "reserve" one unit for my "my most valued client" (the italics are mine).
As a valued industry professional, MAC Marketing Solutions and Bucci Developments would like to invite you to the Lumen Presentation Centre for an exclusive Realtor Only Event!

An Opportunity to RESERVE at Lumen
By attending the Realtor Only Reception at Lumen on February 5th you will have the very exclusive opportunity to reserve ONE home for your most valued client. Details will be given at the event but your attendance is required in order to receive this opportunity.
Imagine, you've got two clients interested in the development, but you have to tell one that they are not your my "most valued client". Terrsible! Fortunatley I am not in this position this time, but I was last time I remember them doing this, which was for the Donovan project in the 1000 block of Richards St. This time I have zero clients interested so if you would like to be my "my most valued client", interested in Lumen, give me a call today (604-261-9311)
UPDATE: (February 11, 2008) - They are ready to start selling at Lumen. Todays email tells me that "As a valued registrant at Lumen we are pleased to announce that we are now scheduling VIP Selling Appointments for Saturday February 16th, 2008!"
UPDATE (May14, 2008) - Email from Mantra today. Units are still availble. They are not moving units like they used to. These units with the big balconies sound nice.
