Jaklin Dalir has ten years in real estate behind her and two decades before that leading sales teams. She works with buyers and sellers across Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities.
She grew up in Coquitlam. That matters more than it sounds: she has watched Burke Mountain go from empty hillside to full streets, and she knows which schools families move for. When you tell her the pocket you are looking at, she has probably been down that road a hundred times.
Over the years she has taken clients through every kind of deal in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, including the ones that got complicated.
Her approach is not built around closing. It is built around getting the decision right, which sometimes means telling you to wait.
Long-term market perspective
Jaklin has sold through frenzied markets and flat ones. Having seen both, she does not panic when things turn and she does not oversell when they run hot.
Every decision gets looked at twice: what it does for you now, and what it does for you when you sell.
Markets move on timing and positioning as much as on price. Working through several cycles is what lets her give you the same measured read whether the market is climbing or stalling.
Local market focus
Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities do not follow the rest of Metro Vancouver. Prices, buyer demand, what is being built and what is for sale all differ between Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Central Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody.
For buyers and sellers, those differences decide your price, your negotiating position and when you should move. Two areas that look identical in a regional report can behave nothing alike on the ground.
Jaklin works mostly inside these cities, which is how she can tell you what sold on your block last month instead of quoting a regional average at you.
Preparing a home for sale, or working through the guides while you compare neighbourhoods, the aim is the same: a decision that fits both the local market and what you are actually trying to do.
Know the plan before you act on it.
Decide your limits before the offers start.
A hot month should not decide a ten-year purchase.
Coquitlam is where Jaklin does most of her work, with Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and the wider Metro Vancouver area alongside it.

and clients throughout Greater Vancouver when the search takes them there.
Staying inside a small area is what keeps the knowledge current: prices, who is buying, and the quirks of specific buildings and streets.
Recognized among the Top 10% of Realtors in British Columbia, 2025
Recognized on Rate My Agent based on verified client reviews and overall service experience.
Jaklin’s work in the Greater Vancouver market has been recognised more than once.
She placed in the Top 10% of Greater Vancouver Realtors in 2025, and she is rated on Rate My Agent through verified client reviews.
Both come from repeat clients and referrals rather than volume, which is the measure she pays attention to.
Client value
Buying or selling a home is rarely just a financial move. It usually sits on top of a job change, a growing family, a parent who needs to be closer, or a house that stopped working. Listings and a market summary do not get you through that.
So the process has a shape. Preparation first, straight communication throughout, and market analysis you can check yourself. That is what lets you decide on your own timeline instead of reacting to whatever happened last week.
If you are selling, it starts with where your home sits against the competition, a price backed by comparable sales, and the preparation done before anyone sees it. Present it properly, then hold your position in negotiation.
If you are buying, it starts with reading the market, comparing neighbourhoods honestly, and judging each place against what has actually sold nearby. That is how you avoid buying on urgency.
Either way, every decision should line up with the market as it is now and with where you want to be in ten years.
Almost nobody sells a house for purely financial reasons. There is usually a move, a change, or a plan behind it. Jaklin works at that pace, and makes sure you understand each step before you take it.
Before anything happens, you should know what the market is doing, where your home sits in it, and what you want out of the next ten years.
Enough resale deals, in enough conditions, to price a home accurately and position it where the buyers are.
Every step gets explained, including the parts that are not going your way, so you are never deciding blind.
Coquitlam first, plus Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and clients across Metro Vancouver.
Resale, mostly. She has presale experience and still uses it, but her day-to-day work is resale strategy and local market guidance.
Yes. Coquitlam is the main market, with the rest of the Tri-Cities and selected Metro Vancouver areas alongside it.
Measured and direct. Expect preparation, regular communication, and advice aimed at the decision rather than the closing date.
Buying or selling in Coquitlam or the Tri-Cities, the work starts before the listing does.
