About Me

Elliot Funt, Real Estate Advisor with Engel & Völkers

I'm in real estate because I love helping people navigate the real estate world. When you hire me, you get an advisor who is on top of the market, is attentive, and will help you make informed decisions.

I Focus On Howe Sound, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, And Downtown Vancouver.

I grew up in West Vancouver and have an immense knowledge of the real estate landscape from my many years in the community. In my youth, I grew up sailing at West Vancouver Yacht Club and was frequently out in Howe Sound on my grandfather’s powerboat. As an adult, I’ve incorporated my passion for boating and Howe Sound into my career. I continue to have close ties to West Vancouver and Howe Sound through my family located near Whytecliff Park and frequent boat trips out of Horseshoe Bay. In particular, my real estate knowledge is most extensive for real estate around Whytecliff Park, Gleneagles, Eagle Harbour, Horseshoe Bay, Lions Bay, Gambier Island, Keats Island, Downtown Vancouver (where I lived from 2013-2023), and Lower Lonsdale (where I currently live). I have offices in both Dundarave Village and in Yaletown.

If you’re looking for an agent outside of my primary areas, I’m still quite happy to assist you. It’s simply that these areas form the base of where my knowledge is most extensive.

Education & Sales Background

I graduated from Simon Fraser University in Business Administration in 2011. My B.B.A speciality was Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management. During my schooling, I learned skills in innovative marketing and selling in a professional and personable manner. I finished at the top of my Entrepreneurship classes. While in university, I also learned that I have a flexible nature, which helps me find creative ways of problem-solving, marketing, and selling.

My early sales experience comes from my three years selling for Mazda (at OpenRoad Mazda in Port Moody, then Morrey Mazda in North Vancouver). My automotive experience provided me with excellent negotiation abilities and people skills; and furthered my interest in helping friendly, everyday people, complete their largest transactions.

From 2011 to 2016, I also worked independently as a writing consultant. My company offered business plan writing and strategy to small businesses. I was able to learn a great deal about how to properly market and run a business from the clients I had, and the plans I wrote.
