Meet the Team




*Francis Mai

I started my career in Real Estate 13 years ago, and since then I have built my business with the intention of maintaining a life balance. My passion is help others create this balance in their own lives, and part of that is having a living space that you look forward to coming home to, somewhere to comfort and inspire us. The quote “home is where the heart is” (23AD-79AD Pliny the Elder) truly resonates with me. An individual’s living space is a direct reflection of how they feel, I want you to wake up feeling energized and fulfilled each day in your home, knowing without a doubt that you’ve made the best choice for you and your family.

Having grown up in British Columbia, I have an extensive comprehension of Vancouver, as well as of the Fraser Valley and lower mainland areas. Voted 3rd best place to live IN THE WORLD (Mercer 2019 ranking), I feel very fortunate to live here. With Vancouver offering so much diversity in it’s architecture, culture, economy, food scene, nature, & small businesses, I truly believe purchasing a property here is an asset in more than one way. I have owned my own home here since the young age of 21 years old and have grown up in a family owning many different pieces of property such as detached homes, condos, townhomes and even duplexes. I now have my forever home here in Walnut Grove Langley with my family; my beautiful wife Danielle, and our little girls Braiya & Cora.

I LOVE Real Estate!  It has always been an interest of mine, and I truly enjoy my work. I am constantly wanting to improve myself and grow as an individual to be the best I can be for myself, my family, and for you! I allot time everyday to monitoring the current market and staying up to date with the present world so I can provide the best service to my clients.

I love meeting and interacting with new people, networking, and building lifelong partnerships is a great passion of mine. I always take the time to hear about my clients’ goals and passions as it helps me to provide a well-rounded service in your best interest. From working in the industry for many years, I have maintained close relationships mortgage brokers, lawyers, inspectors, & fellow agents. With my repertoire of professionals ready to assist, I can ensure that we see your sale/purchase through to the end.

*Danielle Mai

My name is Danielle Mai, I joined Mai Dreams Group about 4 years ago when the universe aligned and my old job came to an end and my fiancé needed a new assistant and I decided to try it out and help him to see how I liked it. Turns out I loved it and we loved working together and as they say - the rest is history! I have been a licensed Realtor for just over 4 years now and continue to grow and learn every day.

My previous jobs were all in Healthcare and I had been in that field for over 10 years. There were many things I loved and hated about my old career, but helping people was why I got into that field in the first place and the reason I went to work every day. There were things that were hard in that career though – the shiftwork, the nightshifts, the stress of seeing bad things happen to people day in and day out. I knew I wanted to be in a career where I still got the satisfaction of helping people, but in a different setting where I didn’t see as much pain every day. Real estate has let me fill my need to help people and bring joy to so many families through finding them houses and helping them create a home.

Healthcare taught me so many skills that I’ve brought over to my work in real estate - working well under stress, attention to details, and working with many different types of people and situations. Real estates has helped me grow these skills and learn so many more.

Francis is great at what he does – he is out on the front lines, negotiating and getting the best price possible is where he thrives. When I came into the business, I came to support him so he can be out with the clients where he needs to be. My skill set is to grease the machine in the background and make sure all the T’s are crossed. I love making sure everything is organized and all the paperwork is done properly, I love getting to know the clients and their families and planning fun client events and being able to buy personalized client gifts I know they will love. I am the backline that make sure Francis and Austin are free to be present with the clients knowing everything else is taken care of.

I love that I now get to wake up every day and help people fulfill their dreams – and I get to do that alongside the love of my life who continues to teach me more and more about this business.

When I am not helping families find their perfect homes, you can usually find me in my garden, spending time with my dog Wilson or kayaking. One of my favorite things to do is to thrift and my perfect Saturday would be spent walking through thrift stores with a hot latte looking for a treasure or good deal.

Francis and I now have two beautiful daughters that we have welcomed into the world, I am excited to see where life will take us and am so grateful for a career where I can balance mom life with work life and see our family grow alongside our clients who always become friends.
