Ron Parpara PREC - Vancouver Realtor

Ron did an excellent job in helping to sell our townhouse in the city AND helping us find a new house in the suburbs. We spent a great deal of time looking at all types of places as we were trying to find the right one for us after we sold our townhouse, and Ron was super helpful, insightful and supportive throughout the whole process. When we finally found the perfect place and had to act quickly to have a chance at getting it, Ron was a great asset in helping us get a rushed viewing, a legal opinion after hours, and then writing an offer on the same day as the viewing to compete against multiple offers. Our offer was not the highest number, but Ron helped us come out on top and we got the place! Overall, 10/10 buying experience and I’d recommend working with Ron to anyone.

As a Kelowna based Realtor, I referred my clients to Ron and I'm very happy that I did. I bought and sold property in Vancouver for years and Ron is my go to agent to send clients to. My Buyer client was very happy with the personalized, prompt and professional service Ron and his team provided. Coles Notes: They ended up purchasing their #1 dream home and Ron allowed them to be confident in their decision every step of the way!

Ron is a true professional. He guided myself and my partner through our first real estate transaction with care and empathy, allowing us to reach a real level of comfortability before completing the transaction. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ron to anyone.

I worked with Ron in a professional setting in my capacity as a mortgage broker and would highly recommend working with him. Ron and his team were incredibly proactive in getting me what I needed to do my job. They were also able to aid out mutual client through a tough negotiation to land them an incredible deal in a challenging market. You’re in great hands with Ron!

I elected to sell a property at a time when I could not myself be in Vancouver, and came across Ron through a simple Google search. The sale was unique - the property was tenanted, was not in good condition, and access was restricted. Ron navigated these challenges very well. He offered informed guidance, co-ordinated with all parties involved, and took a not insignificant amount of stress off my plate. Ultimately, he negotiated a higher sale price than I was willing to take. I would have no hesitation in bringing Ron on board again.

Ron is the most down to earth, responsive and thorough real estate professional that we have worked with. We had two weeks to find a place to live in Vancouver. As we are American, he quickly helped us understand that it would be best for us to find a co-op. He introduced us to one of his family members who lives in a co-op so that we could better understand what it would be like. He then, not only identified the handful that were currently available, he provided us with 10 years of sales history, so we could compare what was currently available with what could ever possibly be available. Once we found a place that we liked, he worked closely with the other agent so we could understand what the co-op was and wasn’t looking for--and if we could meet their criteria. He helped us identify lawyers, contractors, insurance agents, and an inspector, so that we could complete the transaction. He helped us negotiate an excellent price, below asking!

Choosing Ron as your representative is the best decision you will make. A few months ago, my family and I moved back to Vancouver having lived abroad for many years. As you can imagine, during a pandemic, in a heated housing market, searching homes from abroad is an immense challenge. All the more important in that situation, is to have an agent on your side that understands you, can relate to you, is fast and responsive, and is genuinely dedicated to do everything in his power for you. We couldn't be happier with the result. Ron found us a detached house in Vancouver West in a prime location, we called it a "Vancouver Special" because what we were looking for is so rare nowadays. Obviously the public interest was huge and we would never have secured it if Ron had not positioned us so perfectly. He built rapport with the other agent and his overall communication and professionalism proved to be the deciding factors. After the move in, he continued to help with anything we needed. Now that we are settled in we look back on this incredible experience, the kids are having so much fun in their new house as you can see from this picture. They can't stop laughing.. :) We especially love our backyard space where we can sit, unwind and enjoy a breeze after these long hot summer days. All thanks to Ron, simply the best in Vancouver.

We sold our Kitsilano apartment with Ron, Jordan and Angela in late February/early March 2022. The top-line summary is that we were extremely happy with our experience with Ron and his team, and we would strongly recommend them to anyone who asks. We found Ron and his team online, where they stood out because of their deservedly stellar reviews. We found Ron to be very calm, professional and knowledgable about the market. We also really appreciated that he was very honest and blunt with us in terms of what to expect in terms of the work relationship, sale price, etc. We always felt comfortable trusting his word on real estate matters. One thing that stood out was that Ron gave us the contact information from previous clients who had agreed to serve as references. Even though these were highly selected happy customers, we found it was helpful to be able to ask specific questions of real people. This allowed us to get a better sense of what he was really about, and helped us feel comfortable about picking him out of a crowd of agents with similar-sounding online reviews. Once we signed with them, Ron, Jordan and Angela were professional, efficient and epitomized great customer service. They brought in a designer to tour the place and make staging recommendations. They covered the costs of a "light staging" of the apartment. They helped identify things that should be fixed up in order to maximize the value of the unit, and gave us recommendations for a trustworthy handyman. Everything went very smoothly. When the apartment listing went up, it quickly became clear that the team's sale and marketing strategy was working. There was a lot of interest. All we had to do was give them the keys and get out of the way. All of Ron, Jordan and Angela's work eventually culminated in a multiple-offer situation. We were, of course, really thrilled about this. Ron's experience and connections really came in handy here, as he was able to help us dodge potential predatory/bad-faith offers and identify the best option. In the end, we were ecstatic with the outcome. We ended up getting a better price than we thought was possible. The sale contract was signed a week after the unit was listed, and the whole process from starting with Ron and team took less than 2 months. The whole time, working with Ron, Jordan and Angela was smooth, efficient and pleasant. We honestly probably don't even realize how much behind-the-scenes work they did to make the process as easy as it was. These three were fantastic, and frankly we couldn't have asked for better!
