Ron Parpara PREC - Vancouver Realtor

Alert and mindful of the market, Ron and his team had an agile and data-driven thesis on how to best position my property to optimize buyer engagement. Their strategy proved right: delivering a high-touch, hassle-free sale. With Ron you get empathy and expertise!

I've had the privilege of working with Ron and his team, and I couldn't be more impressed with their dedication and commitment to their clients and listings. As a real estate photographer, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous realtors, but Ron stands out as an exceptional professional.

What stands out to me the most about Ron is how he truly understands the value of excellent communication, and this is a quality that sets him apart. Ron goes the extra mile to make sure that each listing they represent is presented in the best possible light. Their dedication to showcasing properties through our photography, virtual staging, and floor plan measuring services, reflects their commitment to providing the best possible experience for their clients.

Ron and his team are undoubtedly a leading force in the Vancouver real estate market. Their reputation for excellence and their genuine care for each listing and client's needs make them a top choice for anyone looking to buy or sell a detached house or condo in the area.

Moreover, Ron's exceptional skills in dealing with difficult tenants ensured a hassle-free rental experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Ron to anyone in need of a reliable and talented realtor.

Ron and his team at Vancouver Properties Group helped us to sell our townhouse in North Vancouver. We have no experience with real estate and are living nowadays in Toronto, so we were really relying on them. The experience was amazing. We didn't have to travel to BC at any stage, they handled everything for us. They handled the sale of the suite, negotiated things with our tenants and the buyers, recommended great lawyer who handled our paperwork, organized junk removal, emptied the suite, make sure its clean and even collected the spare keys from our friends. We got a really good price for the unit and despite all hassle that there came because of us everything went really well. We are extremely grateful and can recommend Ron and his team highly.

My husband and I are definitely pleased and very satisfied with the job that Mr. Parpara did to get my house sold. His team
also found us our new home in the Fraser Valley.

Ron Parpara has a very pleasant personality and demeanour. 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.

-A.

I highly recommend working with the Vancouver Properties Group (VPG)!

I am new to Vancouver, and a purchased multiple homes with the VPG team. They consistently went the extra mile to ensure I found the right opportunities that made sense for me. In addition to the teams expertise, they took the time to walk me through the strata documents, home inspection report and various other documents. One item in particular caught by the VPG 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. The team also assisted in servicing my rental property, giving me peace of mind.

Another component that made the team stand out was their outstanding connections. My partner and I used the cleaners, general contractor, and inspector recommended by the VPG group. All of which went above and beyond, exceeding all of my expectations.

Overall, I would recommend the VPG team as trusted advisors to my network, family and friends.

For two luxury condos in Lynn Valley, a 2 bedroom condo and a 3 bedroom condo, where Vancouver Properties Group represented the Sellers.my experience working with them as a Buyer’s agent has been so easy and smooth! The Vancouver Properties Group team were easy to communicate with, and fulfilled their promises to deliver professionally cleaned properties, and everything in working order, including an expensive microwave repair. Sellers are in great hands with this team. I look forward to working with the team on the next transaction!

I’m super grateful to Ron and his team for helping me navigate through the first time home buyers experience and ultimately buy my first apartment! They went out of their way to make me feel at ease and answered any questions I had, even about seemingly insignificant things. Their knowledge of the market and of important aspects to look for when choosing a home became apparent early on. They also helped communicate with other industry professionals, from mortgage broker to home inspector. Overall, I felt confident I had chosen a great team to rely on for such an important process!

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.

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

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.

Overall, I would recommend Ron and his team at VPG as trusted advisors to my network, family and friends.

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!

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.

My experience working with Ron, Jordan and Sarah has always been very professional and efficient.

Ron is a stellar Realtor. He helped me buy my own first property and now as a Realtor myself, he's the only Realtor that I've referred my own clients to when I couldnt serve them myself. Thats the trust and faith I have in Ron. He's thoughtful, kind, analtyical and very experienced in the Vancouver real estate Industry.

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.

The Vancouver Properties Group team was exceptional. There was all the communication, covering details, outlining next steps, and identifying choices within our target. There was also the next level; well thought out strategy during negotiations, bringing details to our attention that eliminated so many potential problems, and coordinating everyone involved so the process had not only very little stress but was actually enjoyable.

Ron and his Team did the impossible.they sold my condo in the worst building in dt Vancouver (main/hastings area), dealt with a complicated tenant and in the middle of covid lockdown…. And within a couple of weeks…great teamwork, great communication, and most importantly a knowledge of how to sell in the toughest area of Vancouver! Their diligence, professionalism and knowledge literally saved my investment by selling at the exact correct time and correct market!

I had a really great experience working with this team. They secured a house virtually for their client and we furnished it. I have to say that this service doesn’t exist in Vancouver yet because most realtors are more focused on working with buyers and sellers. Their process of getting the house ready for move-in was exceptional. From cleaning, repainting, furnishing, and even testing out the furniture pieces their clients selected from us was executed well. They go above and beyond and it shows.

Ron sold our townhouse in Yaletown in a tough market. He is very personable, attentive, and a good negotiator. He really looks out for his clients. Ron is a great realtor.

Ron Parpara and his real estate team have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Both my parents and myself have worked with Ron when it came to selling our properties as we trust him to be the way to go!

I worked with Ron in a professional setting in my capacity as a mortgage broker and would highly recommend working with him. Ron and his team were incredibly proactive in getting me what I needed to do my job. They were also able to aid out mutual client through a tough negotiation to land them an incredible deal in a challenging market. You’re in great hands with 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.

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!

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

Working with Ron has been nothing but a great experience. As a Realtor working in Seattle I would refer Ron to anyone I know looking to buy or sell in Vancouver. Ron and I are in a group of the best agents in North America and we work together to help our clients.

Ron is one of the most respected and hardest working agents in Canada and only takes on a select number of clients at any given time, otherwise he will refer them to other reputable agents that he's worked with personally, creating a great experience for his clients.

Ron's background in rental properties gives him an edge up knowing the preferred investment options for clients and attracting and keeping high quality tenants, and knowing the buildings, quality and what goes on in these buildings day to day, which most agents wouldn't know.

I highly recommend Ron to anyone looking to buy or sell in Vancouver.

Ron is absolutely amazing. We had been trying to find a realtor for a few weeks without success. Somehow we came across Ron's website and before we even mentioned that we wanted him to be our realtor he gave us such amazing advice.

At the time we were out of province and Ron did everything to make this a seamless process. When we finally decided to buy a home we made an offer before even seeing it. That's how much we trust Ron.

He would FaceTime us and take us through a home, do a mini- interview with the owner. We would send him a list of places we liked and he would give us his unbiased opinion. When he didn't know, he would confer with a colleague just to make sure we were getting accurate info.

If you're considering any kind of home purchase, look no further. Ron is the realtor you need.

Ron has a passion for his work and strives to go above and beyond for his clients. With his honesty, patience, responsiveness, and professionalism, I would recommend him to anyone searching for a new home. Have a look at his YouTube vlogs for a glimpse into how he operates. He will take the time in the beginning to understand your situation in order to clearly establish your preferences and constraints, before guiding you through the home buying process. I would also recommend Ron to prospective clients searching for investment properties, as he brings a wealth of property management experience.

Ron was an absolute gem of a realtor. We couldn't have found anyone better. He was personable, patient, knowledgeable, and honest - all you could ask for in a realtor. From the get go, he never was pushy. He gave us all the information we needed to make an informed decision. He provided us a lot of helpful tips as first time home buyers. We were looking to buy in the East Vancouver area, and he was very familiar with the area. He was great at following up with us through the entire process, and even afterwards! We never had to chase time down. He also recommended lots of other great professionals for other parts of the buying process (like home inspectors, reno guys, etc.). We ultimately bought in the River District, after Ron took all our preferences into consideration and gave us some suggestions of places to look. He was very detailed-oriented through the entire process, and pointed out important things for us to consider. He even gave us a list of pros and cons of the property we were looking at! Even though we were willing to go higher, he negotiated the price further down for us. There were so many little things he did that went above and beyond what typical realtors did. For example, when we moved in, the previous occupants left a large shelf and the place wasn't completely cleaned. He arranged for all those things to be taken care of, and he covered the costs. Even after we moved in, Ron has kept in touch and checking in to see how we are settling in. I cannot recommend him enough. I definitely will be suggesting Ron to people we know!

Ron did an amazing job helping my wife and I purchase an apartment. We were first time buyers and Ron kept us informed throughout the whole process, providing clear instructions on what we needed to do. He also went above and beyond in providing us with requested information, addressing any concerns we had, and negotiating price with the seller. In the end we acquired the apartment we loved, in the neighborhood we wanted for a respectable amount under asking price (Ron worked extra hard to get the price even lower, even though we were comfortable making an offer. He unded up saving us even more money). After the deal, Ron helped us with cleaning and finding contractors for touch ups. I've already recommended Ron to a friend and they're also very happy with his work. A+ agent!

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Ron did a great job. He is a truly honest realtor who works hard to make sure his buyers get the place that is right for them. Ron doesn't push places on buyers that may not be the perfect place, even if that means a lot more work on his part to keep doing showings and finding the right place. I would definitely recommend Ron to friends and family as he cares about his clients, and not just about making a quick buck.

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.
