Hello! Can I help you out today with any real estate services?

I've spent close to a decade helping buyers, sellers, and owners of rental properties in and around Vancouver. I am the owner and managing broker of Western Pine Realty.

I've been involved in hundreds of real estate negotiations and I've read thousands of strata documents, so I probably have something helpful to say about your particular situation.

It feels like I've worked with people from every possible background, but of course every story is different and I'm interested in finding out just exactly what you need right now and making sure that you get it.

I hope the reviews below will help give you a sense of the kind of service I deliver. I have also been able to send over $80,000 to some of the most effective charities in the world since starting up Western Pine Realty. These charities include Seva Canada, Fistula Foundation, and Malaria Consortium.

Can't wait to hear your story and discuss how we can work together.

If you're looking for 5 star EXPERIENCE. This is your real estate professional! Jon is not a pressure sales guy. Jon is prompt, responsive and knowledgeable. Even if you're not buying a home, or selling a home. It's great to have a consultation with him! - Tony P

Highly recommend Jon as a realtor. He worked so hard to help us sell our property during this special time. We are super happy and satisfied working with him. He is patient and passionate. He managed to coordinate with our tenant to allow as many showing as possible. He got us an offer way faster than we expected. Definitely we will choose to work with him. - Angela

We were impressed right from the start by Jon's professionalism and his concern for his clients' interests. Jon was extraordinarily helpful and effective in assisting our search for a property that matched our criteria, especially considering that we were not able to view any of the potential properties in person. He kept us fully informed of any issue that we should be aware of. The fact that we bought the property sight unseen should speak volumes about his trustworthiness and the excellent support that he provides. We STRONGLY recommend Jon's service to any potential buyers and sellers. - Robin Yates & Grace Fong

Jon was super professional. He was also very accessible and able to work around a difficult schedule. Our purchase was fast, but we felt comfortable the whole time because of the support we received from Jon. He knew the questions to ask to ensure we had a safe buying experience. We are so happy with our new home. We highly recommend Jon! - Christina Addington

Jon has helped me purchase and sell a couple properties and the services provided are beyond exceptional. I believe his level of knowledge and professionalism is unparalleled to any other agents I’ve worked with and talked to. I’ve never felt any pressure to buy or sell and have always been confident Jon is looking out for our best interest. Jon is also one of the best communicators in the business. Whether it’s returning a phone call, text message, or email, you can be assured it’s timely and efficient. I will not hesitate to recommend Jon as a realtor and I’m looking forward to working him again soon. - Jonathan Kou

This will be the third property transaction Jon has assisted me with and it's a testament to his professionalism, knowledge, and ability to get the job done that I have continually reached out to him to be my agent again and again. I've dealt with different brokers in the past, but in my opinion Jon is a cut above, particularly when it comes to negotiation. Not only is he knowledgeable, but his negotiation skills and ability to deal with sometimes challenging situations remains top-notch in my experience. I would strongly recommend Jon to anyone looking to buy, sell, or just wanting to see what is out there. With Jon, there's never any pressure; he's always there to help no matter what your need is. - Sean Thompson

I have worked with Jon for the past 4 years where I have bought and sold condos. Jon knows the Vancouver, New West, and Surrey areas very well and his guidance come based on solid research, trends, marketing and general know how of the lower mainland real estate environment. He is a professional every step of the way through the buying and selling process. He has been a great resource as I continue to build out a real estate portfolio. I would definitely recommend Jon as I will continue to work with him. - Faroon

I have decided to go with Jon for the sale of my condo after meeting and researching other agents because he was truly the most helpful and genuine person I met. He was %100 with me every step of the way during the prep and sale of the condo giving great advice and info backed with meticulous research he did. It was a very smooth sale thanks to him. A true professional and I would not hesitate a second to recommend him. - Ali Tezel

Jon was extremely professional and helpful in our first purchase. Real Estate agents are providing a service and given new technology that is coming out, this service is constantly changing. I found despite the wealth of information online for finding places, Jon went above and beyond to help in our purchase. It was a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend Jon to anyone. - Nate Webber

Couldn't have asked for a better realtor-experience. His previous career as a lawyer has obviously prepared him for the turbulent world of Vancouver real estate. Jon was very effective in managing our expectations, and consistently provided advice that demonstrated expert-knowledge of the local real estate scene. This was most apparent when dealing with other realtors, who often provided incomplete details regarding important aspects of potential strata purchases (e.g., local bylaw applications, active liens, etc.). Jon was quick to highlight missing information and ensure it was provided by the sellers' realtor. I'd highly recommend Jon to anyone and am more than satisfied with the work he did for us. Thanks Jon! - Jesse John

Jon was great. As a first time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and Jon had all the answers. Jon always made sure he was available at my convenience and went out of his way to make sure I had all the information I needed. While looking at properties Jon also really helped me to get a good sense of what I was looking at and discussed everything with in such a way that helped me make informed decisions. Jon never ever made me feel like he was pushing for me to make a purchase. In fact, he was great at pointing out causes of concern and consideration in the properties I viewed. It was very apparent that Jon's first priority was my satisfaction. - Joe W

Jon was the perfect agent for us as I am very detail-oriented and had many/frequent questions for him. Jon patiently and systematically responded to every question and his communication was always very prompt - even if we reached out after office hours. This was our first property in Canada; Jon's knowledge and skills were crucial in securing the deal for us. We were under time constraints and had to finish the transaction while away from Canada. Thanks to Jon being with us every step of the way, despite the time difference, we were able to successfully make the purchase. We often asked him questions that did not relate to his role, but he never hesitated to answer all our queries. He also showed great honesty throughout the process. At no time did we feel that Jon was trying to suggest anything to us to serve his own interest. We felt that Jon really went over and above his responsibilities as a real estate agent. We really enjoyed working with him and would, without hesitation, use his services again. - Beijinger Kaders
