His company, James Hau Personal Real Estate Corporation sports the slogan “Premium Realtor, Premium Results.” At the young age of 30, Hau is ranked in the top 10% of all agents in greater Vancouver and has been able to grow his clientele list to include everything from, supreme court judges, developers, accredited investors, architects, top executives, to downsizers. and first time home buyers, both locally and internationally.

“Luxury real estate agents should not depend on local buyers to be their only targeted leads,” said Hau. “There are wealthy investors and buyers all around the world who are looking for luxury real estate in Vancouver. You just have to know how to target those international leads appropriately. I have executed this strategy since I became a luxury real estate agent. My record number of sales has been unprecedented as a result.”
