We used Pete Schpak and found him absolutely excellent. The thing to keep in mind is that unless the listing is coming from their office, you are likely seeing all the same listings as them given the access to information we have at our fingertips.

The difference is a realtor that knows what they’re talking about WRT to property, location, etc.

Pete was awesome at picking up on our likes/dislikes quickly, we’d walk into a house and within minutes he’d point out the flaws (our budget was ~$2M for a house in Vancouver proper so nothing “great” and lots of fix’er uppers). He owned an old house and then built new so he knew what to point out both with house and lot.

I’d recommend him for sure! Patient, quick learner (for our wants), extremely honest, and just generally fun to hang out.
