Ron Parpara, PREC*

Ron and his Team were very professional from the first visit and throughout the purchase process of the house. The house was presented well and Ron’s team were very efficient and accommodating throughout the negotiations, property inspection and most importantly, at the Possession. The house was in clean and wonderful condition and my buyers were very happy. Looking forward for future businesses with Ron and his Team. Sakhi

I would like to share our families experience we had with Ron as our agent for multiple transactions. We’ve been working together for more than 10 years now. Ron and his team specialize in listings for the Vancouver area & they don’t take on more listings than they can handle, so our needs are always met. We as clients never felt that they had any other clients. My dad sold his penthouse condo over asking without ever having to do anything. Just handed the key to Ron and him & the team took care of the rest. Many other agents on here have 100+ google reviews but the sincerity of the reviews is not the same as what Ron’s clients have written about him. You can see that he truly cares about his clients and consistently goes over and above. We also had the privilege of calling a few of his past clients to talk to them directly, before engaging Ron for his services. Ron and team ended up selling 3 condos within my dad’s building at the Olive in Cambie Village so that is a clear indicator that he is very good at what he does. It started with our condo and he was referred 2 more condos to sell within 30 days of our sale. Congrats to Ron and his great team! Thank you for all your hard work!

I just sold and bought my old and new home with Ron's team. I did 4 interviews before deciding to trust his team and he didn't disappoint me. I specifically like the responsiveness and dedication of the team. They are also very professional in guiding me throughout the processes. Especially, the after sale services, they worked hard to get any problems resolved and I am a very satisfied customer. Would certainly recommend his team as a trust worthy real estate agent.

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.

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.

Ron was the listing agent and I was the Buyers agent for a transaction. Although we're each acting in the best interest of our clients he was very friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with. The field needs more agents like you Ron!

Ron demonstrated remarkable professionalism and patience while selling our home. We set a record in our neighbourhood and Ron helped us through every step of the process to show just how much value we had to offer. Thank you Ron!

Ron and his Team worked hard to get our dream home. Ron was really authentic and didn't pressure us to buy anything. Instead he listened to our concerns and tried to look for a place that we truly can be happy with. He also has a wonderful team behind him. During the open houses the itinerary was set with good spacing between viewings. They were also able to act on the houses we wanted to bid on quickly. When we did the house inspection Ron even went with the inspector himself and did a video call with us to do the live inspection (as we didn't have time to go to the place ourselves). We are so happy to get our new house with Ron and Teams help. They made the buying process pleasant.

I had Ron represent me as a purchaser of a 2-bedroom investment unit in Downtown Vancouver. He did a pretty good job. We had a good discussion at the very beginning about what exactly I was looking for in the right unit. He tried to put himself in my shoes to understand what my expectations were. He also asked me an interesting question – what my backup plan would be if prices surged beyond my budget. It wasn’t something I had thoroughly thought over so it was prudent for him to bring that up for me to think about. Then came the search. Ron has developed a fairly good knowledge of the downtown stratas over the years with his sales and property management experience. It did take a while to find good units though, due to the lack of inventory. We were outbid a couple of times, and simply too slow in some other instances. Eventually, we found a decent unit, quickly scheduled a showing, and prepared to submit an offer. Ron was then able to put his negotiation skills to work. Our offer was met with a counteroffer with a higher price. I was ready, able, and willing to meet the seller with a price in the middle. However, Ron told me to be firm on my original price, and to let him continue negotiating. I reluctantly agreed, thinking it wouldn’t work, but I was wrong! Accepted offer! We had a four-day subject removal period so Ron kicked it into high gear. He pointed some things out in the strata documents. Also, the unit happened to be already tenanted, but Ron drew on his property management experience to make sure there were no issues. Subjects were removed, and Ron continued working to ensure a smooth transition right through to the closing date.

My husband and I recently needed an experienced realtor to sell our 3-bedroom Vancouver condo. We were so fortunate that Ron accepted to take on this challenge at the beginning of January when the market did not seem particularly favourable but what an experience! Ron went above and beyond our expectations by taking charge of two upgrade projects and overseeing professional cleaning and impressive staging so that everything would be ready for market on February 1. His hard work relieved us of all the pressure of having to do this ourselves, especially since we live half an hour away. He communicated with us continuously, remained positive and supportive throughout the process, and attended to every detail. From February 1-9 Ron and his two colleagues, Jordan and Angela, hosted an amazing 70+ showings. His efforts were so successful that our condo sold in just 8 days at a record setting price! We would highly recommend Ron to a friend, relative or anyone who is looking for a realtor who is highly competent, delightful to work with, trustworthy, and professional in every respect. It is not surprising that he is ranked one of the best in the city. Thank you, Ron!

My clients recently purchased a house off Ron and had a great experience. He was very professional and great to work with!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ron on multiple transactions, serving opposite me as a listing Realtor in one instance and as a buying Realtor in the other. Each time the process was seamless. I look forward to the next transaction!!

This is a note to Sellers looking for a listing agent. I met Ron and his team through a Tom Ferry conference. Here's what I learned and know from experience about his team. They will contact realtors directly before your property even gets listed and this will create more demand for your property when it gets listed. Just have a look at his video testimonials. Not to mention he specializes in selling houses and really understands the market and strategy to get your house sold for a fair price in a reasonable time frame. If your Vancouver/Burnaby house has asbestos, mold, oil tank, structural concerns, old wiring, etc Ron will be able to find you a reputable specialist who can help remediate for a fair price. Also he has a background in rental properties so it’s very valuable because either you are an investor and need someone to know the rental market in depth and/or you have prospective buyers coming to look at your house and will have questions about the rental market specifically and demographics for the neighborhood. I’m a Seattle agent and I know first hand how important it is to have the right agent on your side. Ron dominates the Vancouver market!

This was the 5th property we have sold and Ron was far and away the best agent we've had. We sold an Olympic Village condo and Ron's impressive knowledge of the area and the other agents who operate in this area helped us sell the condo in under 3 weeks. He put together a very complete marketing plan and worked very hard to generate interest in the condo. He is on top of all the details and kept us in the loop every step of the way. His assistance with staging was invaluable. I highly recommend Ron as a real estate agent. Thank you Ron!!

Ron sells detached properties as well. Let me remind everyone to go with someone that will represent your property that puts more time and energy into marketing, showing, negotiating and selling your property for the highest price possible. He will get you the best price and just hand him the key and he takes care of all repairs, cleaning, trades, issues and all the things that arise during a course of selling your house. I researched extensively online and watched his video testimonials and vlogs to get a better idea of his style and acumen. We were very happy with our decision to work with Ron!

Ron helped me buy my first property (condo) 6 months ago but our journey has started almost 5 years ago when I moved to Vancouver as a new immigrant and dreamt of owning my own place. It took me a very long time to get an understanding of what sort of property I want and what are my priorities and all of that during the crazy real-estate market of those days. Through this journey Ron offered his support, knowledge, experience and infinite patience through countless open houses documents reads and deals negotiations which finally matured 6 months ago. Ron is the kind of realtor who will tell it like it is and not look to make a quick buck but instead will do what is right for his client because that's the kind of guy he is. If you are looking for a true professional with vast experience and a master of the realty trade this is the guy for you!

I had the pleasure of working with Ron when he reached out to my company (Memorable Maids) to ensure his clients properties are cleaned deeply prior to listing. The level of attention to detail Ron has really reflects in his work and I can highly recommend him as a great listing agent who will take the necessary extra steps to ensure your property sells for the highest price!
