Over the years, I’ve built a trusted network of local experts who consistently deliver quality work, clear communication, and reliable results for my clients across Metro Vancouver.

Why I Share My Trusted Network

Real estate isn’t just about buying or selling — it’s about long-term support. My clients often tell me they value guidance after closing just as much as during the transaction.

That’s why I only refer professionals who:

• I’ve worked with personally

• Have proven track records

• Treat my clients with care and respect

Your home is one of your biggest investments — you deserve a team you can trust.

When you work with Victoria Fung, you’re not just getting a real estate agent — you’re partnering with someone who brings heart, grit, and deep local roots to every transaction.

A Strong Foundation Built from Unconventional Beginnings

Victoria was born and raised in Burnaby, BC, and was introduced to real estate from a young age — her family’s connection to the industry shaped much of her early life.

But Victoria’s journey to real estate wasn’t straightforward. Before becoming a Realtor, she competed as a professional Muay Thai fighter, a path that taught her invaluable lessons in discipline, resilience, and perseverance. She now channels that competitive spirit into her business — advocating fiercely for her clients while staying compassionate and accessible. 

Why Victoria Stands Out as a Realtor

• Integrity + Trust: Her clients consistently highlight her honesty, direct communication, and the strong ethical standards she holds.

• Personable + Approachable: Victoria is warm and easy to talk to — she deeply values building real relationships with her clients.

• Relentless Advocate: With her background in combat sports, she’s not one to back down when it comes to negotiating deals or protecting her clients’ interests.

• Strategic Thinker: Whether you’re a first-time buyer, looking to upsize, or navigating a separation, Victoria crafts tailored strategies to match your goals.

A Realtor for All of Life’s Challenges — Especially Divorce

One of Victoria’s most unique specializations is being a Divorce Realtor. She understands that buying or selling a home during separation or divorce involves more than just property — there are legal, emotional, and financial layers at play.

Key aspects of her divorce-real estate practice:

• She works within a trusted network of divorce professionals — lawyers, mediators, mortgage brokers — to support her clients holistically.

• She provides neutral, unbiased representation, helping communication stay respectful and clear even during challenging times.

• She offers strategy planning, free home evaluations, and a custom marketing plan to help sell the home in a way that protects your interests.

• She keeps confidentiality a priority — divorce is delicate, and she ensures her clients’ privacy is respected every step of the way.

Client Praise: What People Are Saying

Victoria’s clients consistently praise her for being:

• Patient, even when the market or circumstances are unpredictable.

• Hard-working and loyal, with a genuine care for what her clients need and value.

• Strategic, confidently advising on offers, negotiations, and referrals — saving clients money and stress.

Your Trusted Partner in the Real Estate Journey

Whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling a family property, or navigating a real estate transaction through a divorce, Victoria Fung is committed to guiding you with integrity and expertise. Her combination of competitive drive and compassionate professionalism means she will fight for your best outcome — while supporting you through every emotional and practical step.

Separating from a spouse is stressful enough — but when a court steps in and orders the sale of the family home, it can feel even more overwhelming. If you're in Burnaby or Greater Vancouver and facing a B.C. Supreme Court order to sell your matrimonial home, here’s what you need to know — and how a specialized Realtor like me can help.

What Legal Power Allows the Court to Force a Sale?

• In B.C., the Supreme Court can force the sale of property in a family law case under Rule 15-8 of the Supreme Court Family Rules.

• A sale can be ordered if the court finds it is “necessary or expedient.”

  • Necessary might mean someone can’t afford ongoing mortgage payments or the home is becoming a financial burden.

  • Expedient means that selling could help resolve the case more easily, and the court will try to balance both spouses’ interests.

What Happens Once the Court Orders a Sale?

1. The court gives directions.
   The judge can decide: who handles the sale, how to sell (private sale, auction, tender), even a minimum price to protect both parties.

2. Possession & Payments.

   • The court might give exclusive occupancy to one spouse while the home is being sold.

   • That spouse may also be ordered to cover mortgage, insurance, taxes — whatever it takes to maintain the home until it’s sold.

3. Court-Approved Sale.

   • Once a buyer is found and conditions (like financing, inspections) are removed, there’s usually a hearing to approve the sale.

   • The court can also require the buyer’s payment to go into trust or court-supervised accounts.

4. Distribution of Proceeds.

   • First, sale costs, mortgage, liens, and Realtor commissions are paid.

   • Then, the remaining money gets split between the spouses as ordered by the court or agreed to by both sides. 

Why the Court Might Choose to Do This

A judge doesn’t just force a sale randomly. Here are some of the factors they typically consider, based on real cases:

• Whether one spouse needs the money (e.g., to pay debts or support themselves)

• If keeping the house is realistic for either person — can they afford it alone?

• Whether there’s another place for each person to live, and how affordable it is.

• The emotional impact: the court may consider how each person is doing, especially if there are children.

• Whether selling now might help the divorce or separation be resolved faster.

How a Divorce Realtor (Like Me) Helps

As a Realtor who specializes in divorce situations, here’s how I support clients through this kind of court-mandated sale:

• Communication & Collaboration: I work closely with your lawyer to understand the court’s order, so the sale strategy aligns with what the judge has approved.

• Marketing With Purpose: Even in a “forced” sale, I run a professional listing — staging, showing, and negotiating in a way that maximizes value.

• Offer Management: I help gather, review, and present offers in a way that meets the court’s direction and protects your interests.

• Trust & Proceeds Coordination: I coordinate with lawyers and trustees to make sure sale funds go where the court requires, and I help facilitate a smooth distribution.

• Empathy + Advocacy: I understand how hard this is emotionally. My goal is to make the process as respectful and fair as possible, helping you move forward.

Final Thoughts

Getting a court order to force the sale of your home can feel like losing control. But it doesn’t have to be a purely negative process — with the right team, you can navigate the sale in a way that protects your financial interests and sets you up for a fresh start.

If you're in Burnaby or Greater Vancouver and facing a court-ordered sale of your matrimonial home — or you simply want to understand your options — I’d be honored to help. Reach out anytime, and together, we can make a plan that reflects your needs and priorities.
