Lee Bryant and Pete Shpak*

Working with Pete means ensuring that you truly will have some one on your side, taking the time to educate and advocate for your needs. Pete opened our eyes to the idea of building our own home - an option we assumed was out of reach. After months of searching listings, he proactively worked to find us the perfect lot. His patience with us during the process blew me away. His consistency and positivity kept us motivated and his honesty and communication was incredible. If you are looking for a realtor in Vancouver, Pete is without a doubt, the guy to call.

Pete is the best! My family and I had the pleasure of working with Pete earlier this year to sell my mom’s condo. Pete and his team made it so easy and offered so much peace of mind by handling everything for us. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible, and he got us several offers well above asking price! Cannot recommend him enough — we will definitely be working with Pete again!

My significant other and I found the perfect first home with the help of Pete. He took the time to understand our needs, listened to our concerns and put in a lot of time and effort into helping us find the perfect match. He is a very patient and approachable agent to work with. Highly recommend!!

Pete provides superior service. Having worked with Pete in a buying and selling context, I would strongly recommend him. Straight-forward and strategic. Pete is practical, pragmatic and well informed. He makes things easy. His knowledge and experience pays off.

Pete did an incredible job selling my townhouse. He organized the staging, cleaning, and anything else that could make the process easier for me. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and pushes for the best deal, rather than the quickest sale. I'm very confident that I got more for my townhouse with Pete than I would have with another realtor. I can't recommend him highly enough.

fantastic service and considerable knowledge of the industry and Vancouver.

We had a great experience working with Pete on the purchase of our first condo in Vancouver. We found him to be an enthusiastic and skilled professional, with a genuine desire to help us find the perfect home. Pete invested considerable time and effort in our search over several months, arranging regular viewings, providing useful information and insight on each property, and responding promptly to our many questions. In a highly competitive market, we really benefited from Pete's tactical advice and excellent communication during the offer/negotiation stage. Overall it was an absolute pleasure to work with Pete, and without a doubt he reduced the stress and uncertainty of this process for us. We would certainly recommend him to to other home buyers, and we look forward to working with him again in the future!

Pete helped me purchased my first home in downtown Vancouver, I've met a couple of realtors in the past, I can say that Pete is not your typical "realtor". He's patient, and he doesn't tell you what to do, he rather states pros and cons of the property, so you can weigh them base on your priorities, and unlike certain realtors out there, he never pushes me to just get the transaction done. In addition, Pete has a lot of connections which will make this daunting process as smooth as it can be. He even gone out of his way and helped me sorting out small problems after the deal was done. In short, I chose Pete based on the reviews I saw on the internet, I now believe they were genuine. If you are looking for a realtor who's gonna help you make the "right" purchase, use Pete!

Pete made the purchase of our first our home a fun and easy experience. We are so grateful to have found such a great realtor! He provided us thoughtful, honest advice throughout the entire process, and with his knowledge and expertise, we always felt comfortable in our decisions. He made sure we felt no pressure to rush into any offers and was always available to answer our (many) questions. He took the time to get to know us and what was important to us in finding a home, and his guidance was essential for navigating the competitive Vancouver market. He was able to set us up with great mortgage brokers, inspectors and lawyers, and remained involved throughout the entire process to make sure everything was seamless. We would absolutely recommend Pete to anyone looking to buy a home!

Pete was helpful, professional, informative and always available during both the purchase and sale of my town home in North Vancouver. For the sale, I had multiple offers and got over asking price, which I was very please with! Anything that I needed and any questions that I had were always answered thoroughly and promptly. I plan to use Pete for my next real estate purchase and recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Working with Pete was really a great experience! He did an amazing job in selling our condo in Yaletown. Especially as we were not in Vancouver it was very valuable to have a realtor we could rely on. (We never even met in person). Pete kept us very well-informed and he took care of everything. As a result of his brilliant marketing strategy and his professional approach, we sold our condo above the asking price. The process was smooth, effortless and very well-organized. Pete's communication skills and personal service are exceptional. Whether you're looking to buy or sell a house, I highly recommend Pete Shpak.

Pete helped my fiancée and I purchase and sell our first home. We had a realtor before working with Pete that we never felt understood what we were looking for. In the first meeting with Pete we knew he would be different. He was attentive to understand our needs as individuals. Pete is really knowledgeable about the housing market as well which is incredibly helpful. We've recommended Pete to a number of our friends and everyone has had a great experience.

Pete was fantastic to work with! We got along very well and he was always available to answer our questions. He made the process so simple and stress free.

Pete Shpak helped my now fiance and I purchase our first home together. It was great working with him! He is a great individual in all respects – very knowledge, approachable, honest and responsive. We found a pre-sale apartment and engaged Pete as our realtor to guide us through the process. As this was our first purchase we were unsure about and overwhelmed by the real estate market and purchasing process. Pete made us feel comfortable from the first moment we met him and throughout the entire way. He explained the process clearly, provided his insights on the market and the developer of our apartment, and how to approach the negotiation. Between the 20 months we purchased and took possession of the apartment, Pete stayed in constant communication with us and checked in periodically, which showed his commitment and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Pete – we highly recommend him!

I was a first time buyer and Pete made the whole experience go very smoothly. He listened to my criteria was and within a few short weeks I had put in an offer and now am a proud home owner! He also put me in contact with a well respected broker and legal team which made things so much easier for me. I would use Pete s services again without hesitation

My wife and I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Pete while seeking and purchasing our first home. After meeting Pete and going on our first ’home tour’, we knew we were very lucky to have him on our side. His knowledge of everything home related was exceptional. He had an answer to every question we asked - and often brought up important points that we never would have thought of. There are many traits that set Pete apart, but one really stands out: he cares. He was always honest with us, and he struck a perfect balance between listening and being responsive to our feedback while also speaking up based on his impeccable intuition. He was not afraid to tell us when he didn’t think the fit was right. Once it was time to make an offer, he had us prepared in every possible way; it gave us the edge in a highly competitive situation. We now have a home that was beyond our highest expectations (and at a price that was below what we had budgeted for). All thanks to Pete. I’m gushing a bit in this review but I’ll also throw in that he is just a great guy who is fun to be around. You will absolutely not regret working with Pete!

As a licensed professional home inspector, I work with realtors on a daily basis. I can honestly say that Pete Shpak is one of the most thorough, knowledgeable, and personable realtors I’ve met in the industry. He goes above and beyond for his clients and has raised the bar in the real estate industry. He ensures his clients have home inspections to make an informed decision. He cares about each home’s deficiencies and works hard to have them rectified. He stands head and shoulders above the competition, which speaks to his success.

Working with Pete was a seamless and comfortable endeavor. The real estate market can be intimidating and at times over whelming, but Pete is a true professional who guided us through the process of selling our condo and purchasing our first house with ease and confidence. Pete helped us navigate putting an offer on a house before we listed our condo, which can be very unnerving. But he explained everything very clearly, at times explaining it more than once and made sure we were comfortable with each step. He also provided an excellent service to us by promptly having our condo professionally cleaned, photographed, videoed and measured. He followed that up with excellent marketing and after less than 2 weeks of making an offer on a new home we had sold our condo above asking price, and then moved 30 days later. During this whirlwind Pete was available at anytime via phone, email, text and he made numerous trips out to meet with us to discuss everything in great detail. Although we were not his only clients during this time, we felt like we were his first priority and he was on top each and every detail involved in the quick purchase and sale. Pete is very approachable, personable and extremely knowledgeable. He is the type of guy you want to be friends with and have over for dinner in your new home! We would highly recommend his superior realty services to both the first time home buyer and the seasoned home purchaser.

From the beginning until the end, Pete was a professional and extremely helpful with all the questions we had. As first time buyers, we had many. Pete wasn't the 'salesman' that this industry is flooded with, if anything he was the Devil's Advocate. Challenging us with each viewing to make sure it worked for our day-to-day and long term needs. He's a genuine and polite chap with a great focus on finding the perfect home. We found it, and we couldn't thank you enough, Pete! See you again soon!

My wife and I recently bought our first apartment with the help of Pete. We found Pete to be a top top-notch professional who provided us with guidance along every step of the way. Pete was always available and gave us crystal clear honest advice with no pressure. After looking for a while in this difficult market we were, admittedly, willing to bid on a property that was not entirely to our satisfaction but were thankfully steered away by Pete who advised us not to compromise. Soon thereafter we found a perfect place that we successfully bid on with Pete’s invaluable assistance. Very approachable and all-around great guy, Pete also has a great network of people that he referred us to, from mortgage broker, to contractors to work on our new place. Can’t go wrong with Pete!

My husband & I worked with Pete to sell our townhouse in Vancouver. He definitely went above and beyond to help arrange everything to get our townhouse ready to sell. We were really pleased with how quickly the property sold and the price we were able to get (above asking!) Pete was extremely professional, responsive to our questions and very knowledgeable about the local market. We highly recommend Pete to anyone!

We recently worked with Pete to sell our condo and he exceeded our expectations with the amount of time and effort he put into it. We were so happy with Pete’s services. He was professional, knowledgeable and understands the market very well. Our property sold quickly and above asking price. I would like to thank him again!

We are so happy with Pete’s services, he put genuine efforts to finding us our home and also as important, he listened to our needs. Pete was always prompt in communicating with us and he was always prepared with building/area information. Pete’s knowledge of Vancouver is remarkable. Pete provided us with honest advice about asking prices and offers; we truly felt we had his support all the way. Pete is diligent and dedicated; we would recommend highly recommend him. Thank you again Pete for all your hard work.

Pete Shpak is the man! Top class service top to bottom. Great knowledge of the market, and a shrewd negotiator. Didn't know him before I bought my second condo, now I'm happy to call him a close friend. He did that great of a job!

Pete provided first class service from the first meeting up until signing the papers a few months later. He always made us feel that we were his only clients, no matter how busy he was. After one or two tours with him, he got a feel for what we were looking for and took charge from there finding extra units for us to look at. The condo we purchased wasn't even on our radar, but he know we'd like it. He took us to it on a tour and a couple days later it was ours! Outside of his great personal skills and vast knowledge of the market, Pete is a very shrewd negotiator. He helped us get an excellent deal on the price and with the furniture to boot! I can't recommend Pete enough, I wouldn't hesitate to trust him with any sale or purchase. Way to go Pistol Pete!
