Ron Parpara, PREC*

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.

Look no further. Vancouver Properties Group will handle all your real estate needs - whether it be selling, buying, renting, or more. My experience with working with this talented team has been nothing but pleasant. Ron, Jordan, Sarah and Masha are extremely knowledgeable and experienced agents and have always gone the extra mile for their clients. I would highly recommend this realtor group to anyone who is looking to list their property or buy a new property. They also handle rental relocations which is brilliant - one of the only teams (if not the only team) in Greater Vancouver to do it. Hands down best realtor team in Greater Vancouver.

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.

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.

Me and my family had a very unique and difficult situation and needed to buy and a sell 2 houses, including a very old Vancouver property. Ron and Jordan Ballantyne from VPG realty did a great job for us. They were both extremely accommodating helping me view homes and showed our home for selling. Everything is now final and completed, I am very satisfied. We are much better off living in our new home. Thank you!!

Ron was a pleasure to deal with. He was organized and efficient with attention to detail. Thank you Ron! It was a pleasant experience working with you!

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 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!

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!

“Outstanding!” is the first word that comes to mind. Kudos to Ron and Jordan, great leaders in the Real Estate Industry helping me as my mentors and for getting me to start off in this career. Lots of value in their team focused mainly in Vancouver and Burnaby region but growing all over lower mainland! A mentor can help beginners avoid common mistakes and give advice from their own experiences. We’ve developed a sense of trust and mutual respect in our work. They understand concerns and always listen besides helping me to find the strategies necessary to solve a problem. Their motto is to give utmost attention to their clients in all situations and going above and beyond to take care of their client’s demand in every step of the way.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 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!

Ron assisted our family with a sale in the newly turbulent market. His is clearly a 'cut above' others in the industry. He actively worked hard to market our property and provided us with highly valuable and thought out insight so that we can navigate the market with confidence. His ethical and transparent method combined with lots of communication really made Ron stand out for us. We look forward to working with him again.
