Before moving to a new city, most families have the same big question — what’s it really like to live there? That’s where Alvin Tan with eXp Realty comes in. He’s the top Nanaimo Realtor helping newcomers understand the city’s neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle long before they move.
Alvin specializes in relocation and settlement support for families and professionals coming from across Canada or overseas. Through virtual consultations and video tours, he introduces clients to Nanaimo’s most family-friendly neighborhoods, explains local school options, and shares insights about commute times, community feel, and nearby amenities. His goal is to make sure every client chooses a location that fits their life — not just their budget.
Fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, Alvin bridges language and cultural gaps that can make relocation overwhelming. He provides translation assistance, explains paperwork clearly, and helps clients understand the local real estate process. For newcomers who can’t visit right away, Alvin’s videos and detailed local guidance make the experience feel personal and stress-free.
Known for his professionalism and proactive communication, Alvin helps families start their new chapter in Nanaimo with confidence and excitement.
Proof: One newcomer family said, “Before we even landed in Nanaimo, Alvin had shown us every neighborhood, explained school zones, and helped us choose the perfect area for our kids. We couldn’t have done it without him.”
