Ron Parpara, PREC*

We’ve worked with Vancouver Properties Group and this most recent sale truly demonstrated why we continue to trust them. This was not an easy property to sell. We were navigating a changing market, lowball offers, an unrenovated kitchen and the need for strata renovation approval — all while I was living in the U.S. What could have been an incredibly stressful situation was handled with complete professionalism and strategic clarity. VPG guided every major decision, from when to stage the home (and when it was time to pull staging), to negotiating through shifting market conditions, to accommodating buyer and agent schedules and granting access throughout the process. They met directly with the tenant to obtain keys, coordinated trades, managed cleaning and staging and ensured the property showed at its absolute best. Perhaps most impressively, they coordinated everything so I never had to travel back to Vancouver. Legal documentation was arranged and signed in California, and every detail was handled seamlessly from start to finish.

Ron and Jordan provided an exceptional real estate experience. Amidst a challenging market, they devised a strategy to unearth off-market properties, leading us to our dream home in Burnaby. Their communication was clear, keeping us informed and at ease throughout. They swiftly addressed legal queries, involving a knowledgeable lawyer from their team. Their negotiation prowess secured a fair deal, adeptly handling complexities and ensuring our protection as buyers. Going beyond, they conducted an oil tank scan and obtained city records, preempting future issues. Always available, they patiently addressed our inquiries, leveraging their expertise to navigate inspections and neighborhood concerns. With a background in rental properties, they ensured a smooth tenancy process. Ron and Jordan's professionalism and genuine care for clients make them standout agents, highly recommended for navigating complex markets and securing dream deals.

Ron’s professionalism makes me feel confident that I’m making the right decision. He is knowledgeable on every area of real estate and that helps when asking questions and getting the true answer.

They are great to work with, always willing to help and take the extra mile for you. I definetivelly reccomend them for your next Real Estate Search, either is buying, selling or investing.

I'm based overseas and Ron and his team helped me sell my tenanted condo in Vancouver without the need to visit Vancouver or meet in person and were really considerate, proactive and professional in managing the sale all round, including arranging some pre-sale minor renovations, and leading interactions with all the parties involved in Vancouver, I can't recommend them highly enough.

Ron and his team did an exceptional job to find us our new home, therefore I would strongly recommend the Vancouver Properties Group! My partner and I are brand new to Vancouver and didn't really know what to expect. As first-time home buyers it was quite stressful to find a home that checked all of our boxes especially with our lack of knowledge on the local real estate market. Ron and his team were extremely knowledgable and down to earth, which really made us feel confident and comfortable to work with such an awesome group of people to find our first home. The team went beyond our expectations to ensure we were happy and comfortable. Ron took extra time to read and go through the strata documents and home inspection report which actually resulted in the discovery of a variance in the listed square footage versus the actual square footage of our unit. This cultivated a stronger leverage for negotiations which lead to a better sales price. Ron and his team had also made some great recommendations through great connections. We were recommended a team of cleaners to ensure our new home was clean and ready for move-in, an awesome team of painters, and inspector. I would highly recommend Ron and his group at VPG and I look forward to working with the team again in the future.

I recently closed a deal with Ron; he represented the seller's property and was punctual, professional, and easy to work with. He presented his client's property very well and always gave access during full inspection. He also provided all the required documents when needed. It was a pleasure working with him.

I highly recommend working with Ron and his team at the Vancouver Properties Group (VPG)! I am new to Vancouver, and a first time home buyer with little knowledge on the local real estate market/process of purchasing a home. Ron and the team consistently went the extra mile to ensure I found the right place for me and my partner. In addition to the teams expertise, Ron took the time to walk me through the strata documents, home inspection report and various other documents. One item in particular caught by Ron and the team, was a variance in the listed square-footage vs. the actual square-footage. As a result, this created a stronger platform for negotiation which would have normally been an oversight, resulting in a more favourable sales price. Another component that made Ron and his team stand out was his outstanding connections. My partner and I used the cleaners, general contractor, and inspector recommended by Ron. All of which went above and beyond, exceeding all of my expectations. Overall, I would recommend Ron and his team at VPG as trusted advisors to my network, family and friends.

Ron and Sarah are the hardest working team you will ever meet. They can also speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and some Spanish. Within their network they can bring you off-market offers which can help sell your home before it even hits MLS as they are well connected with other top producing agents. They also provide creative and customized marketing depending on the property type. I highly recommend them to help sell your home. They can also provide a list of recommended contacts if you are looking to renovate, hire a designer, secure financing with a mortgage broker, or a lawyer. They can handle everything for you from start to finish. If you're looking for a stress free experience, give them a call!

I had an amazing experience with Ron Parpara when we bought our first property. He and his amazing team are very professional and they really care about your necessities and the things you are looking for. For all these reasons I can recommend him and that’s why we bought our second property again with him. The most I like about him is his patience and also if English is not your mother language he explains everything in a very easy and clear way. For me and my hubby he’s the best realtor in Vancouver and we are going to be always grateful to work with him.

Very keen to details and excellent worksmanship. From buying, selling and even relocation side. Highly recommended!

My wife and I stumbled across Ron and Sarah in a quick need for service and got very lucky in finding these two. While Sarah guided us in our viewings and provided incredible attentivness in all our concerns and processing. Ron was just as attentive in his particular role in this partnership, providing a steady and continuous movement in our search and general processing. Readily available online he also promoted personal live chats at critical moments and was clear and precise in his advice and guidance. Ron also negotiated our purchase professionally and successfully. We are a couple who moved very quickly and were very determined with the property we knew we wanted. Ron and Sarah not only kept up with our quick pace but handled all our needs and processing with an accuracy and steadiness that lead to our success! These two make a great partnership and were integral to our team. Very very impressed and very very happy.

The most committed and experienced team we had in the Greater Vancouver area. We noticed that unlike our previous experience with other agents/teams, they only take on so many clients at once.

Ron is amazing to work with! The Vancouver Properties Group is a fantastic team of highly professional realtors. We were looking for a home and Ron found us the perfect place in Cambie. He showed us 8 homes in two days which is very difficult to schedule during the holidays. We were on a very tight timeline and Ron arranged for inspectors, mortgage brokers and lawyers to have the entire purchase closed in 8 days. Ron also negotiated with a long term tenant on our behalf. He really takes care of his clients. Even now weeks after close Ron is helping us source all types of contractors, overseeing the cleaning of the house and making sure every detail is to our desire. Five Stars without question! Marji

Vancouver Properties Group delivered customer service beyond what I thought possible, and worked extremely hard helping my wife and I find a place. They were patient with us as we were new home buyers and we took a few months to figure out and learn the market and what we wanted. They always wanted to make sure the place we were getting would meet our needs while also being a smart purchase that, for instance, wouldn’t end up being impossible to resell or have expensive repairs. I always felt that they put our interests first over an easy route out, and genuinely cared about helping us make a good decision on a place even if it took longer. When we had an accepted offer, VPG kicked into an even higher gear. They managed to negotiate the price down and fought for every extra dollar we could save on a great home for us. Their team was excellent to work with and I would choose them again in a heartbeat.

VPG listens to my needs and delivers in this changing market. If your looking to sell your Vancouver property give this team a call, youll get the best attention and time your property deserves

Ron Parpara and his team does an amazing job with keeping the clients satisfied and happy. We send all our business referrals in that area to them and the clients who worked with them have nothing but wonderful things to say about Ron and his team. They have always been very professional and great to work with!

I don't usually write reviews but it's not often that you work with outstanding individuals in this industry and Ron is certainly deserving of praise. I was acting as the listing agent for a detached single family house in Vancouver West whereas Ron was the buyer's agent. From offer negotiations to going under contract and finally sold, I could tell that Ron really has the best interests of his clients in mind and definitely goes above and beyond to provide them with great service. He has all the qualities you need in a good agent. Strong negotiating skills, clear communication, strong market knowledge, product knowledge, and does all the due diligence required for a transaction. His client was lucky to have him for this deal. I can confidently say that you won't be disappointed working with him!

Ron and myself co-listed a house in oak, we were able to sell it successfully. It is a pleasure to work with Ron as he brings so much experience to the table. Being in the business for over a decade and a half, his ability to gauge the market goes a long way in guiding his clients in right direction.

Ron Parpara is one of the top realtors in all of Vancouver. I have referred his agency the Vancouver Properties Group to several family and friends and they've all been super happy and have referrred VPG to all their friends. Ron is an exceptional selling agent and his team of professionals that he works with are all highly skilled and experienced but offer fair pricing for the service they provide. Ron and his team never lost touch with my family and friends (during the process and afterwards). They are great at closing deals and tirelessly work to the satisfaction of their clients. If you are thinking of selling your property or purchasing a new one then VPG is a great agency to work with.

I was very fortunate to find Ron through a google search. I was specifically looking for a trustworthy and insightful realtor who was knowledgeable about the mount pleasant area. Ron and his team went above and beyond. They were the most honest, dedicated, hardworking, attentive, and client-centred group I have had the privilege of working with. I have had a number of realtors in the past and all claimed to be the above, however it was all about the commission at the end of the day. Ron took his time to understand my needs and priorities as a seller and kept me informed throughout the process. He professionally staged and deep cleaned my property, developed video marketing that showcased my place and the neighbourhood to pique buyer’s interest, extensively marketed it online, and even hired a handyman to ensure my place looked immaculate. He was also very knowledgeable about the current market, strata rules, and the rental market. As a result, we were able to solicit multiple offers and sold my property within a very short time frame above asking in a transitional market. This sale was significant as I had previously listed my property with another realtor, but she was unable to sell it in a much hotter market. Another factor that sets Ron apart from other realtors is his amazing team, who all played an integral part in this transaction. Ron and Jordan (and team) were always available to show my place, thus no showing requests were ever denied. Angela was very responsive and skilled on the administrative side. They were also great in deciphering all the legal documents, which alleviated my stress. In short, hire Ron and his team! Update: This is our second time using Ron as our realtor and the only realtor I can confidently recommend to our friends and family. Ron and his team sold our place within two days over asking in a buyer’s market, while maintaining professionalism, responsiveness, and honesty. They did not use tactics such as underpricing our property for a quick sale, unlike other realtors. Instead, Ron and his team listened to our needs and our comfort level, while sharing their expertise without pressuring us. They arranged a cleaner, handyman, and videographer/photographer, and promoted our property as a featured listing which all contributed to the smooth sale. On top of that, we were able to get everything done while we were abroad. We will continue to support Ron and recommend him!
