Nav Shahram PREC*

Nav was the perfect choice as our realtor. We needed someone who would focus on our goals and ready to play the long game, and Nav was an ideal match. He worked constantly to understand what aspects of a home were attractive to us, and why. During showings, he would bring up useful information about the house and provide tips or raise concerns as relevant. He did not pressure us, or try to push his own ideals and he made it clear he was prepared to keep looking until we found the right place. He has a breadth of knowledge on the housing market, as well as house ownership in general, and you can tell that he takes his job seriously and is fully invested in being the best he can be at it. His monthly summary email on the housing market provided useful insights and notable trends and data. On the personal side, Nav was very easy to work with, he was always friendly and helpful and eager to provide any information we needed. He tracked down zoning information directly with the city, to ensure we had the full picture, before bidding on a property. He was prompt, responsive and always made sure to check if we understood the information he delivered to us. During the bidding process, Nav prepared detailed proposals to the sellers and helped make a case for us and our offer. He included analysis of recent sales and current price trends to arrive at a reasonable offer and was our advocate through the whole process. Overall, we are very pleased we picked Nav as our realtor and would highly recommend him. His work ethic, professionalism and market knowledge were big factors in us finding our ideal home.

I am sincerely appreciated that Mr. Nav Shahram as my realtor sold my Vancouver property. He is very efficient and professional to follow through tasks and get all done on time. Since I live in Montreal, Nav has helped me so much to coordinate with all related stakeholders and make the final sale successfully. I will definitely work with him again in future.

Nav helped us with our first purchase in Vancouver. Nav has been super professional, patient and friendly to work for the past four months. He cares about everyone’s needs in my family. He even took extra miles calling the local school board to confirm some questions we had regarding kids enrollment. As our family situation changed, Nav was extremely patient and accommodating with us around property viewing trips from Coquitlam to Burnaby, and again from New West to Vancouver. Our kids hated viewing houses on weekends but definitely loved viewing houses with Nav! For any future transactions, we know whom to go with! Thank you Nav!

Well, first I would like to thank two people who connected us to Nav. Thanks to Shahrzad and Ali Hashemi, mortgage advisors at CIBC. These two refined individuals not only helped us with the financial aspect of this process, but also introduced us to Nav. About Nav: - Nav is very honest and reliable - He is smart and he knows important details that matter during the home search, and home evaluation and writing offer - He makes the whole process pleasant and joyful, rather than creating stress. - He has excellent network of people that you need during the process, for example home inspection, notary - Unlike many other realtors (based on personal experience) who just do things to earn their commission as quick as possible, he cares more about you and he does things to make sure you are making a right decision. You can trust him and his integrity. Thank you Nav

I had few realtors but Nav is the best realtor. This is all based on my own recent experience. Highly recommended.

It's hard to find an agent who prioritizes your needs over making a sale. Nav was patient, knowledgeable and consistent with his communication. He's someone you can actually trust in this industry. There were times where my husband and I wanted to move forward with a sale and he advised us against it, knowing it would not be in our best interest. We've purchased and sold multiple homes in Coquitlam, Port Moody and Burnaby with him and would never consider anyone else. The price he sold our home was also the highest in our area. We have referred him to several of our family and friends and all of them have been very happy with his service as well.

Nav helped us purchase our first home during the peak of an incredibly uncertain market this summer. He is highly knowledgeable in his field and understood our requirements right from the start. He patiently answered all our doubts as a first time homebuyer and provided valuable advice throughout the process. Most importantly, it was super easy to communicate with Nav and he made us feel like we are all on the same team. We highly value working with Nav and will continue to work with him in future. Highly recommend working with this amazing person!

Over the last couple months we had been preparing to sell our home and we had collected many “pamphlets” that come in the mail for realtors. We went with Nav because he knows and works in our area and we read some positive reviews online. Immediately we knew we made the right decision. Throughout the entire sale from the first phone call we felt that Nav had our best interest at heart - he truly was incredible to work with - he not only took the time to educate and inform us of the current market but also took the time to see what we really wanted. Nav was extremely kind, well spoken and most of all consistent. He made us feel comfortable and he was always flexible with scheduling making it easy . Nav also went above and beyond with marketing for our apartment to ensure we could present our best case using brochures , mail outs and social media. Being detail oriented nav also helped us re arrange and stage our home without putting any pressure to make us feel we had to . Overall great work Nav thank you and would recommend to others and be happy to use his services again! ….. 10/10!!

Navid is exceptional. He is very knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond to make sure his client is satisfied. He helped me a lot to find the right place and his recommendations were very helpful. Navid is a skilled negotiator; he considers every small point and comes up with many good ideas to finalize the deal. I had fantastic experience and highly recommend him to all my friends. The process of buying a place can easily get frustrating but Navid is great at making it fun and enjoyable. The best part about working with Navid was that he was always focused on answering all my questions, giving me good advice, and finding places that met my needs.

We worked with Nav from October through February in our search for a home in the Lower Mainland from a distance. Going in, we weren't too sure what we wanted. Eventually, we were able to focus in on a neighbourhood we liked and have moved into a home that we are very happy with. We closed on our new home with a slightly unconventional offer, and we couldn't have done it without him. In that aspect alone, he proved his worth. But Nav has much more to offer beyond his deal-making abilities. Looking back on this journey, the advice and suggestions he made along the way were sound. I'd ask him about a listing that I liked, and he wouldn't hesitate to tell me, I wouldn't spend time looking at this listing because of X and Y, unless you are okay with Z. He'd give you his input, but always leave you space to make the decision. I suggest to anyone who works with Nav to be open and share everything that you're thinking. I regret not doing that sooner. Yes, it's true that a buyer's agent's incentives are not always aligned with the buyer. But through this experience, Nav strived to make, and made, the best deal for me.

For us, Nav truly delivered the impossible... We were able to purchase a detached home in one of the most desirable locations in Port Moody Center, under the asking price, while everything else was selling for 200-400K over. The purchase was done through an exclusive sale as the property was no longer on the market. We first saw the property in summer but were not able to negotiate the price to our liking. Over the months, Nav had built an incredible relationship with the seller's agent and he regularly contacted the agent to see if the sellers were willing to negotiate. Once he knew there may be an opportunity to restart the talks with the sellers he was game on, and we closed the deal in a short time. We were able to put all the subjects in our offer, which enabled us to do a full inspection and had enough time to ensure the financial clearance. Nav's ability to read the market, see a couple steps ahead, build trust with the seller's agent, negotiate wisely, and have the right amount of patience were invaluable in securing our purchase. We knew that Nav always had our best interest in mind and were very careful with when and in which conditions we should make an offer. He also connected us with other professionals that we really enjoyed working with. We received a great rate and an incentive from the mortgage broker and we really trusted the work and honest opinions of the inspector he connected us with. What we also valued most working with Nav was his honesty, transparency, sincereness and humor. He was always very patient with us, answering our countless questions promptly and in detail. He was able to put forward different strategies when we were outcompeted in other properties. He has wealth of knowledge and insights on this crazy market and his great social skills helped us greatly to navigate this environment. We truly feel that in addition to a great real estate professional, we have gained a good friend during this process. Our son, our dog and us already miss seeing him!

Thank you for your detailed and honest Review Matt. You bring up a great point. As you said, there are some agents who’s motives are unfortunately not aligned with their clients - It truly means a lot to me that your experience and outlook changed as we worked closely together. Honest and transparent consulting is a fundamental part of my service. Congratulations again on your beautiful condo in Coquitlam and I hope to see you around in the area soon!

1. Initial discussion - Nav patiently heard our requirements and helped us figure out what was most important to us. He helped us come up with a strategy for which neighborhoods to target given our budget and requirements from the house. 2. Discovery stage - Nav was very prompt in providing us insights about the homes we were interested in viewing. He is analytical and thoughtful in his approach. This helped us shortlist potential properties to view, which allowed us to make the most of our time on the open house days. 3. Open houses - Nav was with us every step of the way. He was never pushy, and provided us the relevant information (sales data, neighborhood insights and prospects, etc) to help us decide whether to make an offer. He is very likable and polite, which goes a long way when interacting with seller’s agents. 4. Preparing the offer - Being first-time buyers, we did not understand a lot of aspects of the offer documents. Nav didn’t only educate us on reading the strata documents, but also thoroughly went through them himself to point out any potential concerns. With such a competitive market where subject-free offers are the norm, we wanted to make sure that we got a pre-offer inspection done. Nav helped us organize the inspection at very short notice and made sure that he was present when going over the results. This really helped us put our minds at ease before making the offer. He also helped us review the personal letter, which we believe helped tip the scales in our favor on the offer day. 5. Offer day - Nav helped us come up with a reasonable offer based on his experience and analysis. He is the sole reason we did not overbid and act out of emotions when deciding on the offer price. He proactively kept in touch with the seller’s agent to gauge interest before submitting the offer, as well as to get updates afterwards. He was very positive and helped us keep calm while we were waiting to be informed of the decision.

It was a pleasure working with Nav. He really helped us understand a red hot housing market in Vancouver. His tips, reasoning and insights were all very accurate and helped us a lot in arriving at a decision on what kind of a house we want. He was also amazing during the bidding process, and his people skills and creative negotiation strategies really helped set us up for a successful bid. As a first-time home-buyer, I was not aware of what the housing market looked like a few months ago. Nav got on a long call with me, walked me through the process and also gave me a good understanding of the current market. Would highly recommend using Nav as your realtor!

If you are looking for a top-class realtor, look no further than Nav! As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of anxiety. Nav was extremely reassuring and kept our spirits high in the current daunting housing market. He made sure to address all our concerns promptly and patiently. Nav is a true team player. He is very professional, communicative, and overall just a very nice person. He always made us feel supported and valued. A few things we really appreciated about Nav in each stage of our home-buying process are: 1. Initial discussion - Nav patiently heard our requirements and helped us figure out what was most important to us. He helped us come up with a strategy for which neighborhoods to target given our budget and requirements from the house. 2.
