Luxury Realtor — Rose Marie Manno

Every luxury listing receives a custom marketing plan that may include cinematic drone footage capturing the sweep of Semiahmoo Bay, twilight photography that showcases architectural lighting and ambiance, 3D virtual tours for out-of-province and international buyers, targeted social media campaigns reaching affluent demographics, and distribution through eXp Realty's global network spanning 24 countries.

For luxury buyers, Rose Marie provides curated property searches tailored to specific lifestyle requirements — whether that means a south-facing waterfront lot with deep-water moorage, a Morgan Creek estate backing onto the 14th fairway, or a penthouse condo with uninterrupted views of Boundary Bay and the San Juan Islands. Her deep knowledge of White Rock and South Surrey's micro-markets means she can identify value and opportunity that other agents miss, and her negotiation expertise — refined through thousands of transactions with the #1 team in the Fraser Valley — ensures her clients' interests are protected at every stage.

The Luxury Buyer Experience

Purchasing a luxury home is a deeply personal decision. Rose Marie takes the time to understand not just what you need in a home, but how you want to live. Whether you are relocating from Toronto, downsizing from an estate in West Vancouver, or investing in the Semiahmoo Peninsula's growing luxury market, she provides a highly personalized search experience:

• Curated property search based on your lifestyle requirements
• Access to off-market and pre-listing luxury opportunities
• Private showings at your convenience
• Detailed neighbourhood and market analysis for each property
• Expert guidance on building inspections, environmental assessments, and due diligence
• Strong negotiation to protect your investment
• Full transaction management from accepted offer through completion
• Post-purchase concierge referrals for renovations, landscaping, and property management

The luxury market here is defined by diversity. Along White Rock's Marine Drive and West Beach, you will find architecturally stunning waterfront homes with panoramic views of Semiahmoo Bay, Boundary Bay, and the San Juan Islands beyond. In Morgan Creek, executive estates back onto one of BC's top-rated golf courses, offering a resort-style lifestyle with gated privacy. Elgin Chantrell delivers sprawling acreage properties — some with equestrian facilities — that feel a world apart from the urban core. And Crescent Beach provides a quintessential seaside village atmosphere where multi-million-dollar homes sit steps from the sand.

What truly sets this market apart is its trajectory. The completion of Highway 99 improvements, planned transit expansions, and the continued development of Grandview Heights as a commercial and residential hub are driving long-term appreciation. International buyers, particularly from Alberta, Ontario, and overseas, are discovering the value proposition: a luxury lifestyle with ocean access, mild climate, top-rated schools, and proximity to both Vancouver and the US border. For buyers who understand that luxury is not just about the home but about the lifestyle it enables, White Rock and South Surrey represent one of the smartest luxury investments in Western Canada.

For sellers, this means understanding that your home's story is its most powerful marketing tool. The couple who built their Morgan Creek estate to host extended family gatherings. The empty-nesters who designed their Crescent Beach retreat for morning walks on the sand and evening sunsets over the water. Every luxury home has a narrative, and Rose Marie's marketing brings that narrative to life for the right buyers.

For buyers, particularly those relocating from other provinces or countries, Rose Marie serves as more than a realtor — she is a trusted advisor on the White Rock and South Surrey lifestyle. She can speak knowledgeably about school catchments, yacht club memberships, golf course communities, restaurant scenes, and the subtle differences between living on the ocean side of Marine Drive versus the hillside above. This depth of local insight, combined with her luxury service training and the resources of the #1 team in the Fraser Valley, creates a buying experience that is as refined as the properties themselves.

Discretion and Privacy

Privacy is paramount in luxury real estate. Many high-net-worth sellers prefer to keep their listing off the public market to protect their privacy, avoid unnecessary foot traffic, and maintain exclusivity. Rose Marie offers discreet, off-market marketing through her extensive private network, ensuring your property reaches qualified buyers without public exposure. For buyers, this same network provides access to exclusive properties that never appear on the MLS — homes that can only be discovered through trusted agent relationships.

Luxury Market Trends in 2026

The White Rock and South Surrey luxury market has shown remarkable resilience through shifting economic conditions. Several factors are driving continued demand in the luxury segment: the relative value compared to Vancouver's West Side, where comparable waterfront properties command significantly higher prices; increased interest from Alberta buyers seeking a coastal lifestyle; a limited supply of true waterfront inventory; and the ongoing appeal of the Semiahmoo Peninsula as a retirement and lifestyle destination for affluent Canadians. Properties priced above $2 million continue to see strong interest from qualified buyers, particularly those with waterfront access, ocean views, or premium lot positions in established luxury neighbourhoods.
