MEET Chris DINNELL PREC*- Richmond REALTOR®

For me, Richmond isn't simply where I sell real estate. It's where I was born, where I grew up, where I've raised my family and where I've built my personal and professional relationships.

Being a lifelong Richmond resident has given me a strong connection to the community, an extensive local network and an appreciation for the people and neighbourhoods that make this city home.

I've been a licensed REALTOR® since 2017, and I've built my real estate business around something that has always come naturally to me: building relationships and earning people's trust.

Real Estate Is a Relationship Business

I've always believed that how you work with people is just as important as what you know.

That includes my clients, but also the other REALTORS®, mortgage professionals, lawyers, notaries, inspectors and tradespeople involved in a transaction.

Over the years, I've developed strong personal and professional relationships throughout Richmond and the Lower Mainland. Having a reliable network means knowing who to call, how to find answers and how to connect clients with the right people when they need assistance.

I believe cooperation, professionalism and mutual respect are essential to navigating transactions effectively while continuing to advocate for my clients' interests.

My approach is straightforward: communicate clearly, respond quickly, follow through and treat people properly.

I want clients to feel confident that I'm accessible, prepared and looking after their interests from beginning to end.

Helping First-Time Home Buyers

I particularly enjoy helping first-time buyers navigate one of life's biggest milestones.

Buying your first home can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming when everything is unfamiliar.

My role is to make the process easier to understand, explain the steps along the way and help clients make informed decisions.

From exploring neighbourhoods and evaluating properties to reviewing documents, negotiating offers and preparing for completion, I want buyers to understand what they're doing and why.

There are no questions you're expected to already know the answers to.

I take pride in being approachable, patient and available throughout the process so clients feel comfortable asking questions and discussing their concerns. I'm very hands on when dealing with first time home buyers.  From assisting you in due-diligence, to advising you to walk away from potential future down falls- particularly with strata properties, your best interest is always top of mind for me.

Estate Sales & Seniors Downsizing

Some real estate transactions require more than market knowledge and negotiation skills. They require patience, understanding and a thoughtful approach.

I have considerable experience helping clients and families navigate estate sales and seniors downsizing.

These situations often involve important family decisions, emotional attachments, property preparation and coordinating with multiple people or professionals.

Selling a longtime family home can be especially significant. I understand that a property may represent decades of memories, and that moving forward isn't always a simple decision.

My approach is to help clients understand their options, develop a practical plan and move through the process at a pace that respects their circumstances.

Whether it's preparing a property for sale, coordinating with family members or connecting clients with trusted professionals, my goal is to make a complicated transition feel more manageable.

Experience, Communication & Personal Service

Since becoming licensed in 2017, I've worked with buyers and sellers throughout Richmond and the surrounding Lower Mainland.

I believe clients deserve knowledgeable guidance, straightforward communication and a REALTOR® who does what they say they're going to do.

That means returning calls, providing updates, addressing concerns and being available when questions or unexpected situations arise.

I take pride in building lasting relationships, and many of the connections I've made through real estate extend well beyond a single transaction.

For me, one of the greatest compliments is when a client trusts me enough to recommend me to a friend or family member.

Richmond Isn't Just My Market. It's My Community.

Being born and raised in Richmond means my connection to this community goes back long before my real estate career.

One of the things I'm most proud of is founding the Great Save Golf Tournament in support of Wigs for Kids BC, bringing people together to support children and families.

I'm also an announcer for the Richmond Sockeyes Junior A hockey team, combining my love of hockey with my connection to the community.

Professionally, I've spent eight years as a member of BNI Richmond Driven Dragons, developing relationships with local business owners and professionals.

I was honoured to be recognized as the chapter's Member of the Year in 2020, 2024 and 2025.

These connections are important to me, both personally and professionally. Being actively involved in the community has helped me build a network of people I know and trust, which can also be a valuable resource for my clients.

Outside of Real Estate

I'm a husband, a dad and a lifelong hockey fan.

Richmond has been part of nearly every chapter of my life, and I'm proud to continue raising my family, building relationships and giving back to the community that has given me so much.

Whether you're buying your first home, helping a family member downsize, managing an estate sale or preparing to sell your property, I'm always happy to start with a conversation.

Real estate is the business I'm in, but relationships are how I've built my business.

Let's Connect.
