RICHMOND, BC--(Marketwired - April 19, 2016) - New Coast Realty, with offices in Richmond, Burnaby, South Surrey, Vancouver, and West Vancouver, is voluntarily taking measures for consumer protection including an added layer of oversight.
New Coast Realty and its agents specifically deny recent allegations of wrongdoing detailed in some media reports. The company has provided responses and documentation indicating they have followed all rules and regulations, while fully cooperating with investigations by the Real Estate Council of British Columbia and the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.
Company owner Ze Yu Wu has voluntarily stepped aside and will have no role in the operations of New Coast Realty until investigations by the Council and Board conclude. Operations of the company offices are being overseen by managing brokers approved by the Real Estate Council of British Columbia.
