Ron Parpara, PREC*

As a mortgage professional, I recently had the opportunity and pleasure of working with Ron to help a client purchase a property in North Vancouver. Ron is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and hardworking realtor. His strong negotiation skills and expert knowledge of the local market were key to securing the purchase of this property. It’s been a great pleasure doing business with Ron and I would highly recommend him to my clients.

Ron is a great realtor. He was very patient with me as I bought my first ever home in North Vancouver. I appreciated that he is extremely detailed oriented and gave me all the information I needed to make my final decision. Buying a home can be very stressful but Ron was always there to answer all my questions and guide me through the process. I would highly recommend Ron to anyone who needs a realtor. I have been living in my condo for 4 years now and I am still in contact with Ron. He is always available to answer my questions.

Ron is an excellent realtor and is a top professional in his field because he was able to get me 18K more for the sale of my townhome which was a comparable sale and similar in size to the others who sold for so much less in this market. Also, my townhome did not have any extensive renovations or an open kitchen and he still got me more money than any other realtor who was selling something similar to mine. He works hard for his clients and went above and beyond my expectations!!!!

Being a savvy investor in the condo market, I must say that Ron is hands down the best agent I’ve ever worked before compared to other agents! His recommendation has made me great profit to exit right before the market slows down! Can’t thank him enough and strongly recommend working with him for purchase and sales! Thanks again Ron!

Ron was recommended to me by a friend for my first home purchase, and without a doubt, Ron definitely exceeded all expectations. As a first-time buyer, I was entering this process as a complete newbie, along with a short deadline. Given all that, Ron took the time to walk me through the whole process, and showed me many properties to get a good feel for what I liked & did not like, rather than just rush a quick sale. Once we found something that worked well, rather than settle for the seller’s first ‘best & final’, which I would’ve taken given the circumstances, he encouraged to play it slow through multiple expired offers over a few weeks, and in the end managed to negotiate the sellers down quite a bit from list (and well under budget). After that, his high degree of thoroughness clearly showed, as he repeatedly chased down both the seller’s agent & strata for updated documents, and helped me go through every key document. He also researched just about everything else you can think of – he looked up the developer’s history, recent & pending developments in the nearby area, past & potential issues with city & more. Further, he has a very good network of high-quality real estate professionals (lawyers, inspections, brokers) & tradesmen, many of whom I leveraged during my purchase. By the time we removed subjects, I was very confident with the purchase, as Ron goes through pretty much everything in detail. Even after the deal closed, Ron was still checking in & assisting. He helped set up the move, lined up additional professional cleaning & a locksmith, and offered to advise long-term on any sort of problem with the purchase or help lining up the right people for repairs or improvements. There was also a residual issue with a fireplace, which Ron quickly resolved with the seller’s agent & arranged a prompt inspection to remove all worry. I quickly learnt throughout this process that it is quite easy to make costly mistakes. You need someone on your side like Ron who will fight for best price, ensure the due diligence is done to the highest degree, and make sure you are comfortable with what you purchase. Ron is very thorough & details-oriented - he is willing to go through just about everything, will go through pros/cons on all properties, and we even spent a good few hours just walking through the first purchase contract (which I highly recommend). He helped out immensely on all the various bumps along the way, and, even prepared me for potential issues & expenses over the next five years, as well as considerations upon resale. I have already recommended Ron to a couple other friends (they will be in good hands), and I definitely plan to come back when the time comes to sell, where his experience, hard work & meticulousness will be ever more important.

I recently had the good fortune of working with Ron Parpara once again. He used his experience and expertise to help me successfully sell my condo in Lower Lonsdale and purchase one at a preferred location in Pacific Point, Yaletown of approximately the same size and at a lower price. This turned out to be a very pleasant surprise because the prices in Yaletown are usually considerably higher than on the North Shore. The task of selling my condo was a challenging one. In addition to major construction going on directly in front of my building and a dark kitchen, the market had been changing and really slowing down. Also, there were 6 other units that went up for sale in the same building complex, around the same time! Ron however, developed a marketing strategy which included professional staging, photos, repairs, advertising and open houses every weekend. We had many interested visitors and offers that soon followed. My unit was the first to sell out the 7 and with Ron’s help, negotiated a record breaking price which considering current market trends was impressive. Then, he helped me locate and negotiate a corner unit suite in Yaletown at a lower price! Even though the contractors he recommended were hit and miss, I was overall satisfied with his service.

Ron was professional and courteous while looking for an apartment for our daughter. When it was crunch time Ron kept our stress in check and came through for us. Thank you Ron for your diligence.

Ron has exceptional marketing skills with a strong online emphasis and is a savvy negotiator. He provides objective statistics while giving detailed feedback after each showing and thoroughly takes you through the step by step of the selling process. Once you hand over the key to him, you do not have to worry about anything else. Expect him to respond quickly and do personal phone calls or meet in person if that’s preferred whether you are discussing an offer, feedback or any other property detail and believe me there are so many things that come up before, during and after. He's also the one person you want representing you when buying, not just when selling. Smooth transactions and peace of mind is what he brings to the table. Having one high performing agent (so there’s no miscommunications along the way) is the best way to go by far. It's so much simpler and there's less risk for misinformation. I also really like that he won’t take on more clients than he can handle.

Having worked with Ron as another Sutton Group agent, he is very enjoyable to work with. Throughout the whole process he pays very close attention to each detail, makes sure nothing is missed, and makes the whole transaction as smooth as possible.

Ron is very meticulous and was successful in getting a much higher price than the market usually would have bared. Unlike my previous realtor who accomplished nothing while they had my listing, Ron worked every day to get this listing sold. I'm a very impatient person so I was so happy with how quickly Ron got me results.

As a fellow realtor being able to work with someone that show the same excellence and personal attention as I do is truly a gift. Ron's easy going nature is a pleasure to work along side and his professionalism is second to none.

I was fortunate to find Ron as a first time home buyer. He is very knowledgeable in the local market (Burnaby) and patiently advised me away from many properties that would have been bad investments. He was always looking out for my best interest. From start to finish he made the purchase effortless and proved to me what an honest and hard working realtor is supposed to be. Ron also negotiated my buying price for under asking in a hot market and a desirable location. Thank you Ron!

Real estate is something that you should not take lightly, it is a very important decision in any family's life. Having Ron on our side was a great way to make sure that what we had in mind was the right choice for us. He provides a very well rounded service, he knows what are the right questions to ask when dealing with property managers and developers and he always kept challenging our ideas in order to make sure that we were certain of our choice. He is very detailed oriented and he even went above and beyond by visiting some of the places that we were looking at and provided a detailed comparison with pros and cons of all the properties. I can't recommend him enough. If you are in the look for a house or property, you can always count on him

I had the pleasure of working with Ron on a deal and the professionalism that he showed throughout the entire process was amazing. He was always on time for appointments, very knowledgeable to the product that he was selling, and took the time to show my clients and I around the building and answer any and all questions we had. He went above and beyond to make sure that not only was his seller happy, but also that myself and my buyer were happy as well. Ron's clients can feel confident that they have a professional and knowledgeable realtor by their side to guide them through the process when they are buying or selling a home. I look forward to doing another deal with you down the road Ron. - Mike Roque The GO Team Dexter Realty

Great realtor, best experience ever!

We are so glad we chose Ron to act as our realtor for the sale of our Yaletown condo. He kept us updated, provided good advice every step of the way, and was kind enough to work outside normal office hours to keep the process moving as quickly as possible. He did a great job working with our tenants to ensure the viewings went smoothly. We would definitely pick Ron again.

Ron is a people person. He heard what we needed for our future home and tried he’s best to find it... the best part is that in less than a month he found the perfect place for us in Brentwood! He was always honest about the pro’s and con’s in each apartment, and most importantly, we always knew he was looking out for our best interests.

You'd be lucky to work with Ron. Transparent, amazing work ethic and knowledge and reviews were super accurate - We found Ron through our own research online and learned first hand the positive comments clients had said about him were true.

To Those Considering Buying or Selling a Property, If you need a reliable real estate professional to handle your buying or selling needs we strongly recommend Ron Parpara. He sold our west end condo and got a great price, very close to list price, in a cool market. His competent and attentive sales service left my husband and myself free of the stresses normally associated with selling a home. Ron coordinated junk removal, hiring a handyman/painter, and apartment/carpet cleaning. He paid for these services from his own incentive program. Also he handled all strata related issues like fire inspection and duct cleaning to avoid any additional fines. We enjoyed Ron's knowledgeable, trustworthy, and patient style. We would certainly employ him again as our realtor. Sincerely, Kaija Oliver and Alfredo Coccimiglio

We could not be more satisfied with the work that Ron did as our agent. He was always prompt in answering our questions, proactive in the process of selling, and our results were more than we expected. The buying process was smooth and he didn't rush or pressure us to make a fast purchase. He negotiated a worthy deal for us and we are extremely happy with our new apartment. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home!

My wife and I recently used Ron to help us find a place in Burnaby. Throughout the entire process, Ron was very patient, honest, and helpful. He met with us on several occasions and helped us find a home that met all of our needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ron again in the future.

When I inherited my family home in the Brentwood area of Burnaby after my father's death in 2018, I had a very important decision to make. Since my husband and I live and work in the Fraser Valley, we were not keen on moving to Burnaby and commuting further to work. We also did not want to bother with any renovations to the house. Since I have a major disability, it was easier for my husband to search online for a suitable realtor. In late August, 2018, we decided to choose Ron Parpara to help us with the sale of my house. The house was put on the market in early September and was finally successfully sold in April, 2019 after multiple offers. The first offer in October looked promising but the buyer pulled out because of financing issues. Many low ball offers followed which didn't amount to anything suitable. The final offer which came in February and revised in April, hit the jackpot with me and the buyers. After the completion date in July, Ron Parpara arranged a celebratory lunch for my husband and me, the buyers, as well as himself and the buyers' realtor. It was so good to meet the nice people that bought my house. My husband and I are very happy and so are the buyers with their property. I know that they will take good care of the place. My husband and I are definitely pleased and very satisfied with the job that Mr. Parpara did to get my house sold. We will be hiring him again to assist us in buying a house in the Fraser Valley. Ron Parpara has a very pleasant personality and demeanor. Since I cannot text, he was willing to communicate in person, by phone, or through email. He was always patient, kind, thoughtful, and willing to go the extra miles to meet my personal needs and preferences. Even when he was busy, Mr. Parpara never made me feel ignored or unimportant. He would return all phone calls and emails in a timely manner. He made extra phone calls to find out certain information on my behalf. He referred me and my husband to a real estate lawyer, oil tank company, a handy man and pest control company when necessary. Mr. Parpara met us at our home, at the house in Burnaby, at lawyers' offices and wherever we needed him to. He never lost patience when he had to take the extra time to explain any documentation. Until I got comfortable with signing documentation over the computer, Ron was willing to meet us so I could sign actual paper work which took some effort on my part. Ron Parpara is a very honest, ethical, dedicated and professional realtor. My husband and I sincerely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a highly skilled negotiator who does a very thorough and detailed job. Audrey M

When i first met Ron, we had a discussion about a clear plan moving forward. Ron was not in a rush at anytime. He was never overbearing and was always availiable and willing to provide information. He was able to negotiate a clean and clear deal which was in my best interest. I am completely satisfied with Ron's service and I would reccomend Ron to anyone who is looking to purchase a property in the Vancouver area.

Ron is the guy you need on your side when selling your Condo! His knowledge of Vancouver especially Yaletown is an amazing asset he has. He has this down to a science! Thank you for your help Ron Ranjot.
