This is a long overdue review. I was looking for an investment property in Fall 2019. Having already bought / sold homes a few times over the last 2+ decades and thus have wide experience (good and bad) with different realtors, I tried to make this purchase on my own -- without a realtor. Long story short, in the end, I did work with a realtor. I chose Pete Shpak and I am still grateful 1 year later for all his assistance and advice. He's the best. Pete is a great guy - incredibly hard working and professional. You'll get that from reading all his other reviews. What really stands out for me is that Pete is value-added. He gave me information I didn't have access to - and I'm pretty good at research and digging for information on my own. Pete is a great listener. He heard me out and understood exactly what I wanted. He didn't waste my time. He knows what he is doing. He has opinions and will let you know what he thinks - but he doesn't force his views on you. He's also a brilliant negotiator. You can't go wrong. Two more reasons why Pete exceeds expectations and stands out from other realtors: (1) Pete understands the market; and (2) Pete knows his data. Pete was the first realtor in Vancouver who offered "previously sold" prices on the internet before other realtors started doing it. While assessed values of properties are available to everyone, only realtors had previously sold prices. I was digging deep on google for data on my own and was able to access Pete's data even before I met him!! It was only a coincidence we ended up speaking on the phone. During my search, Pete steered me towards a newer / popular building with a great reputation. It was very nice - but I found the unit small and expensive for price per square footage. I had wanted a larger footprint for that price. Nevertheless, I ended up buying the newer / smaller unit in January 2020 and inherited the tenant that came with the unit. Fast forward to end of August 2020 - my tenant advised she had to leave. Given the global pandemic (and landlords in the West End and Downtown were offering first & last months rent for free over summer 2020) I was prepared to have the investment unit sit empty. Boy - was I wrong. I had a dozen queries in the first 8 hours of posting and almost 40 interested renters over 2 days. Received 2 applications within the first 48 hours. There was a HUGE demand and I had NO IDEA. I found a wonderful new tenant within days after checking her references. Pete told me the building had a great reputation and was a solid investment for me. He was totally right! I'm not worried about having to rent that place out again if my current tenant decides to leave. I could go on about what a great, hard-working guy Pete is - but I'm sure his clients have got that covered in all the other reviews. Life has been busy and we've all had our issues to deal with - but now that 2020 is finally over, it will be nice to move on from last year. Pete was one of the silver linings from 2020 - someone I met and who brought value and good advice and someone I would be delighted to work with again should I have the opportunity to do so in the future. Thanks so much Pete!

With respect to our most recent real estate experience with Pete Shpak and his Vuppie Real Estate Team, we are happy to provide this reference with enthusiasm, especially since it concludes a full circle experience with Pete over the past eleven years. Specifically, we bought a condo near downtown Vancouver in February of 2011 using Pete as our realtor then. His hands on, personable and quality service underpinned the valuable recommendations he made as we searched for the ideal location and building and allowed us to find a quality, value for the money solution to our needs. He was able to point out limitations and potential for the condo, all of which turned out to be prescient. He is honest and forthright, qualities that we very much appreciated as we tried to evaluate what was best for our needs in a city that we were generally unfamiliar with. He was able to get on our wave length and understand fully what it was we wanted, while also adding perspective on factors that might impact on our decisions. Based on this blend of his skill and understanding of the market, we made a quality purchase and never regretted our decision. This gave us a very good foundation upon which to build as we recently sold the same condo with Pete and his team’s assistance. Again, the team was with us every step of the way, communicating effectively with us, making strong suggestions on steps we could take to improve the prospects of a sale, and working in partnership to ensure that the unit was in the best possible condition to ensure a quick sale even in a flat market. We were never alone in the process and always felt that Pete cared about ensuring the sale went without difficulty. The only difference between our first experience with Pete and our second is that he was even more experienced and knowledgable, while maintaining his very grounded and personable approach to his work. We would highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for a values-based, honest and professional realtor who gets results.

Pete came highly recommended by a friend when my husband and I first started considering buying a place in Vancouver. Other reviewers get it exactly right when they say he makes you feel like his only client—I have no idea how he does it, but his responses are incredibly speedy and he was always able to set up viewings on very short notice. On top of his amazing service, Pete also has extensive knowledge of the Vancouver real estate market. He was able to advise on neighborhoods, build quality, strata considerations, etc., and very quickly picked up on our preferences and what we were looking for in a home. We had also only ever purchased property in Singapore, and he was very helpful and patient in guiding us through the process of buying a home in BC. We must have seen dozens of listings during our search, but Pete was always happy to help schedule and join us for viewings and never appeared to tire of us. You can also count on Pete to be extremely detail-oriented and do all the required due diligence when you're ready to make an offer. We were in the process of preparing an offer on a place when Pete discovered that there was an upcoming hotel development close to the building which would significantly change the views and add years of upcoming construction. Pete is very well-connected in the industry, and when we finally came across a home that checked all the boxes for us, his relationship with the seller's agent proved to be extremely helpful in closing the deal as quickly as possible (and $40k under asking!). He was also able to refer us to a great mortgage broker, property inspector, and real estate lawyer, which made the process of offering and closing a very smooth one. I definitely recommend choosing Pete as your realtor, and would engage his services again without hesitation in the future!

We were very fortunate to meet Pete at an open house that he was hosting on the first day we started looking to buy a home. As buyers, we didn't think we needed a realtor, but Pete knew better. Even though we didn't meet him through anyone we knew, right from day one we found Pete to be personable, professional, honest and trustworthy. Over a beer, he taught us about the buying process, and on our first tour, he helped us discover what was truly important to us in a home. It was clear to us that Pete was in it for the relationship, not just a quick sale - it was important to him to find us the right place. Pete is patient and a great listener, and he made it easy for us to ask him any and all questions that we had. He knew the answer to just about everything, and we appreciated that he also took the time to teach us along the way. When it came time to put forward an offer, he provided valuable advice on how to best position ourselves for success. Once our offer was accepted, Pete continued to support us through his great network of people. He was able to connect us with experts in each field, from lawyers to house inspectors to interior decorators. Throughout the whole process Pete was flexible and accommodating – he would meet us when and where was most convenient for us, even after hours at our offices if need be. To top it all off Pete made our search relaxed and fun, we really looked forward to each time we got to meet with him to see something new. At the end of the day, we are in a home we love, and we won’t hesitate to recommend Pete to everyone we know.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Pete when were searching for our first home, and we couldn't be happier with the service we received! From the moment we started working with Pete, we knew we were in good hands. Pete was incredibly knowledgeable about the local real estate market and took the time to understand our specific needs and preferences. He was patient, attentive, and always available to answer our questions and address any concerns. His professionalism and expertise made the entire home-buying process smooth and stress-free. What impressed us most about Pete was his dedication to finding us the perfect home. He didn't just show us properties; he actively searched for homes that matched our criteria and went above and beyond to ensure we found the right fit. His negotiation skills were also exceptional, and he helped us secure our dream home at a price we were comfortable with. Throughout the closing process, Pete continued to provide invaluable support and guidance, making sure every detail was taken care of. His attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set him apart. Thanks to Pete, we are now happily settled in our new home, and we couldn't have honestly done it without him. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate agent who will go the extra mile to help you find your perfect home, we wholeheartedly recommend Pete. He is a true professional who cares deeply about his clients' happiness and success in this tough Lower Mainland real estate market. Thank you for everything Pete!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose Pete as our realtor for both our sell and purchase of our new home. After having experiences with a wide range of realtors, we entered with some reservations. Right from our first encounter with Pete, his personable nature created a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for us to feel like we could speak honestly about any concerns or hesitations. Pete was upfront and honest, always giving us different choices and solutions for every decision along the way – without the feeling of being pressured one way or the other. Throughout the process, we were amazed with Pete’s excellent communication – there were never any mixed messages, and everything was clearly conveyed. He was confidently able to address all our questions, was very knowledgeable, and had a contact person for every profession we needed, which made both the buy and sell procedure feel effortless. His dedication made us feel like we were his only clients, when we know he was juggling multiple clients – Pete’s time management is much to be envied! Pete demonstrates the perfect balance between professional diligence and easygoing flexibility. And we have to also mention how thoughtful Pete is, as he would frequently ask how our elderly dog was doing throughout the stress of the move. He has certainly raised the bar on the standards of realtors and we would confidently recommend Pete to anyone looking for a realtor.

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.

Its All in the Details with Pete! Pete has been amazing to work with in dealing with the sale of our townhouse and purchase of our new home. We are an extremely busy family with 3 young kids, and Pete went above and beyond at each step of selling our townhouse to the interaction and purchase for our new home. Even though we know that Pete has several clients, we felt that we were his only client. This was due to his outstanding communication and client service skills! He was very quick to respond to our many questions and was very prompt at answering e-mails. Pete was also very knowledgeable in the details of selling and purchasing our home, even recommending an excellent home inspector and following up with us throughout the legal process. Not only is his attention to detail second to none, he was also very flexible with working within our busy family and work schedules. We were also impressed with Pete's professionalism, patience during negotiations, and highly trusted his sound advice. We would not hesitate in recommending Pete - especially if you are looking for a trustworthy, professional, client-oriented, and knowledgeable realtor.

I found Pete after reading so many positive reviews about him. Now that we have ended our journey of buying a place, I can truly say that the reviews are reflective of my experience with him. Throughout the process, Pete has been incredibly patient, answering all my questions and viewing numerous places with me. He puts his client’s interests first. I remember viewing a place that I absolutely loved. Pete then immediately reviewed strata documents and talked me out of purchasing due to the engineering and depreciation reports. I learned so much from him, not just on the purchasing process, but also how to judge condo infrastructure on the exterior, window frames, and even down to appliances in a home. He is very detail oriented. It sometimes feels like he is buying a place for himself! He is extremely connected to the Vancouver real estate scene and knowledgeable. He is realistic and strategic with offers, not wanting clients to pay more than what is reasonable based on data. I strongly recommend Pete. He will be there for you throughout it all!

I found Pete online and sent him an initial email explaining my situation. I was moving to Vancouver from the Northwest Territories and had a very short timeframe to find a place and close the deal. I had very tight search parameters in terms of location and was picky about the type of condos I was willing to look at. From the first email I was impressed with Pete's level of professionalism. He answered emails and phone calls promptly and was an excellent problem solver. He educated me about aspects of real estate that I hadn't realized I needed to know about. He is a gifted negotiator, committed to customer service and very knowledgeable about the Kitsilano market. Perhaps more importantly, Pete is very easy to work with. I came down for a three day weekend where we had over 20 showings. Pete made the entire process so much fun. There was zero pressure. He was completely committed to finding me the perfect place. I would highly recommend Pete to anyone who is looking for a realtor. He is fantastic!

Update: Pete helped me SELL the beautiful condo he helped me buy 2 years ago! (Who knew I'd meet someone and fall in love?) Pete was fantastic: super organized, great advice about prepping to sell, professional photos and marketing, complementary deep cleaning. He connected me with other professionals to help me out. We sold within hours of accepting offers. I couldn't be happier, and I know the buyers were too. Earlier review: Pete helped me buy a condo in Olympic Village, and he was great to work with: knowledgeable, patient, easy-going. He was thorough in his research of the unit I selected; put me in touch with other professionals, who were all excellent (lawyer, mortgage broker, accountant); and -- the bit I appreciated most -- answered all of my anxious-buyer questions, even after hours. Even though I found Pete after I fell in love with the place I bought, he made sure I looked at all of my other options, so I didn't experience buyer's regret. Thanks Pete! I love love love my place.

Pete recently helped us in buying our new detached home and were very impressed with his experience, knowledge, approach and friendly character. He is truly the best in his field and is customer focused. Simultaneously, he and his team sold our two bedroom condo in less than two weeks with a higher price than we have expected. Also, he negotiated to time our condo sales completion date closer to our detached home purchase possession date. Wow, simply amazing! Prior to the sale our condo, Pete was able to organize a complimentary clean up, photo shoot and staging to get our condo in top shape. When it was sold and time to move out, Pete again took care of the clean up with his contractors. What a service! And just before we move in to our new home, he again surprised us with a champagne gift. Wow, could not us for more! Thank you Pete and your Team for an excellent job and look forward to working with you for many years to come. Cheers! Very satisfied customers

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!

If you’re looking for a realtor that is knowledgeable, honest, personable and reliable, Pete’s your guy! My husband and I cannot thank, praise and recommend Pete enough to our family and friends! Pete has helped us find our first home in the midst of the hot Vancouver market. Even during that time, when we’ve seen some unprofessionalism with selling realtors due to the high demand, Pete was the complete opposite. He was extremely patient with us and continued to educate us on things to look and watch out for when we were viewing homes. He was advocating for us for a home inspection, and even when the circumstance didn’t allow us to do so, he made the best out of that situation and booked another appointment to inspect the home with us! The whole process was just seamless, it honestly felt like we were buying a home together and we can’t wait already to work with Pete again in the near future!

We have really enjoyed working with Pete and finally purchased our first home in Vancouver this summer. He has been so generous with his time over the last few years as we went back and forth about entering the Vancouver housing market. Pete spent a lot of time with us weighing up the pros and cons of the different areas in Vancouver and where we could see ourselves living as a family. We saw so many properties and Pete always made time for us to do this. He helped us navigate all the new things we had to learn as first time buyers. He always seemed to be able to make time for us despite his crazy work load! He was very well connected in the real estate industry in the city and gave us great recommendations for all the professionals you need to close the sale. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone thinking of starting their search for a home in Vancouver.

Working with Pete was great, start to finish (and even after finish). We were looking for a new home with more space and Pete was able to find us something we loved, quickly. He was all over the details and didn't let any question go unanswered or any potential issue unaddressed. We were very confident throughout the process of our purchase thanks to Pete. We were especially impressed with Pete during the sale of our downtown condo. He had a solid plan to sell our place and was considerate enough to plan showings around our toddler's schedule. The week we had our condo for sale Pete showed our place to a large number of buyers which ultimately gave us a selection of offers to consider. Pete's professionalism, knowledge of the market, and above all, communication make him easy to refer to friends or family looking to buy or sell a home.

When you get good service when something is easy, that’s good. When you get great service when it’s a challenge, that’s fantastic! Pete was great from the very beginning. Outlining the logic behind current pricing, the process and approach to selling my Penthouse Condo. Through his contacts in the industry we were able to accept an offer for 97% of asking, with very little conditions, within 3 days of listing!! Wow. But what came next really allowed Pete to stand out. While not going into details, a very unfortunate incident arose right on closing. The buyer was very upset and I don’t blame them, but never was there a greater need to maintain professionalism and perspective. I was also upset. Pete was absolutely vital in helping me remain centred and focused. Pete demonstrated that he is above and beyond! Thank you Pete.

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 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 helped us sell and purchase our new home and we couldn’t be happier with how seamless the whole process went. From the start, Pete was incredibly accessible and helpful in providing us with honest, knowledgeable and professional advice to help us understand the market and our best options. Pete helped us immensely with negotiating the best offers and we felt prepared to confidently make our decisions. He is super easy to work and discuss ideas with, and you can tell that he puts a lot of effort into making positive, ongoing relationships. Even after moving in, he’s checked in on us and still helps us out with a few questions here and there! It has been a pleasure to have him as our realtor and we would highly recommend Pete to anyone who is looking to be in good hands.

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!

Pete helped us buy our first apartment in 2019, and when we decided to try and find a larger unit within our budget earlier this year, there was no question that “we gotta call Pete” . Both selling our first unit and buying the next place was handled seamlessly by Pete and his team. He knows the market, genuinely cares about your needs and concerns as clients, and is completely transparent about the process. It’s daunting to navigate real estate, and not know who to trust or what to look out for. Pete cuts through that for you and lays it out in ways you can understand so that you can make a well-informed, non-pressured decision (with a heck of a negotiator to boot!). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pete to friends, family or the internet (hi Google reviews, it me!).

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!

I connected with Pete by chance when looking at some real estate online. After chatting with him and looking at his rave reviews online I thought he might be a great person to sell my condo. When I first met Pete in person he came across as very professional and knowledgable about real estate in the area. Pete and his team were great, although we didn't have to work too long on selling our place, as it sold in under three days! During the process Pete and his team gave us some great advice and the end result was very positive. Pete is a good communicator and I felt very confident in his abilities as a realtor. I am currently working with Pete in finding another condo in Vancouver. Pete is timely, professional, knowledgable and a great communicator.

It was my partner and I's first time selling our condo in New Westminster and we decided to go with Pete based off a personal recommendation from a close friend. And we are SO happy that we did! Pete, as well as Kristin and the rest of his team of collaborators, were amazing from start to finish. We got an amazing offer on our place and truly couldn't have done it without Pete's help. There was never a time when we felt judged when we asked questions (sometimes, very silly ones) and his advice was always in our best interest. We trusted his knowledge and expertise -- and it really did reflect in his work. I'm thankful to have worked with Pete and I cannot recommend his services more. I look forward to working with Pete more in the future!

Honest, knowledgeable, respectful. We were looking to get into the market for a couple of years. Pete took the time needed to break down all of our options, as well showed immense patience while we viewed multiple properties spanning months of back and forth questions. I'm sure other realtors would have shown frustration, whereas Pete stood by all of our decisions. I can honestly say that we would not be living in our new home today if it were not for Pete's understanding, caring, and depth of knowledge in the Vancouver Market, as well as his dedication to work with us. Always available to answer questions with lightning quick responses, we will forever be grateful, and Pete has made a lifelong client.

We are first-time home buyers and Pete was very good at helping us navigate the complex process that is buying a home. From start to finish he was always responding to our questions and making himself available to view homes and ultimately buy our brand new home at a fantastic price. Aside from showing us homes, Pete also has an extensive network of associated trades, which was extremely useful when it came time to find a home inspector, a real estate lawyer, and even a banker. If you want to spend your time looking at houses rather than dealing with all the little things that need to be done when buying a home, then I cannot recommend Pete highly enough.

Pete did a remarkable job selling my condo. It was so easy to work with him throughout the entire process. Not only he is very knowledgeable and full of self-confidence, but I could also see his honesty and humility from our very first meeting and that’s what distinguish him from other realtors. In less than 3 weeks my unit was sold; after the first open house we got 3 offers (all above the listing price). I finally accepted an offer higher than my best estimate. Pete and his team took care of all the details and guided me in the decision making. I enthusiastically recommend Pete as your realtor. He is a great professional and a great person.

Through my interactions with Pete, I found him to be an outstanding realtor that works tirelessly for his clients to provide them with advice and guidance. I purchased my first home with Pete, and he utilized his talents in finding me the right home within my budget, negotiating a great deal on my behalf, and responding quickly to my questions and requests no matter how big or small. Pete was always focused on finding me the right home and looked at things from my perspective, which I found extremely helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Pete because he is dedicated to his work, and always puts his clients' interests first! Thanks Pete!

My girlfriend and I worked with Pete to purchase our first property in North Vancouver. As first time home buyers working with Pete was a great experience, he walked us through the process, provided very good perspective and feedback on the properties we viewed, was patient and answered all our questions on the process, and was very personable to deal with. We ended up under a public health isolation order during the closing period and Pete and his team went above and beyond to ensure that all the details were handled so that we didn't lose the property. I would highly recommend working with Pete if you are in the property market!

We’ve bought and sold our fair share of real estate (and several family members are “in the biz”), and we have to say that Pete is on a whole other level! We wanted a realtor who really knew the market, and understood what we were looking for. Pete was beyond responsive, listened to exactly what we wanted, and helped us find our dream home in record time. Can’t imagine a better person to help find (or sell) a home in the Vancouver area. He’s also one of the nicest people we’ve ever met, who went out of his way to help us. A truly great guy. Thanks for everything Pete! We’ll talk to you again when it’s time to 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.

What can I say about Pete? Pete is more than just any old realtor. He was attentive to our needs and was always realistic and positive. He doesn't sugar coat the realities of property investment when it came to buying a new home for our family and his opinions put us on a short path to fulfilling the requirements of what we sought. In addition to his professionalism and availability to us, Pete showed us that he genuinely cared about where we wanted our family to be in this next stage of life, and he did a stand out job in facilitating the whole process with his knowledge, expertise and professional contacts.

Quite simply, Pete is outstanding. More than just an expert + leader in his field, Pete's exceptional client service makes you feel like family. He truly cares for his clients, and that's the difference-maker. Pete takes extra time to ensure the entire home buying process is smooth + easy, taking the worry out of an oftentimes stressful experience. His professionalism, kindness and calm demeanor allows you to feel fully supported. And, you can't help but want to be his best friend in the process! We are lifetime clients, and recommend Pete to everyone looking for a true partner on their real estate journey.

Pete helped us buy our first house in Vancouver. My wife and I just moved back to Canada after a few years away, and needed to find a house quickly to settle down. Pete has been super helpful and patient with us walking through the processes, pointing out what we had to consider or be careful about when considering a home, and he shared a lot about Vancouver and the different neighborhood with us. He's always super responsive to any questions you send him, pretty much at any time (which sometime made us feel bad to bother him in time we'd assume was inconvenient!) We're super thankful and had a great time!

Pete is hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with. During our search, he used technology, market knowledge, and construction knowledge to make sure my wife and I made the most informed and best decision for our needs. Pete was always available for any questions we had, and he always put our interests first (which is a rare trait in the real estate world). Based on his own educational background, experience, and experts he knows, Pete made sure every detail of our transaction was explained and understood. We could not recommend Pete more highly! You will not find a more trustworthy agent.

Pete is a fantastic agent. I would highly recommend his service for two primary reasons. First, he is extremely knowledgeable and connected within the Vancouver Real Estate scene. In our experience he knew a great amount about every building we looked into, based on previous experience or experience from within his network. Second, he is great at managing the process, understands this is a 'big deal' for his clients, and sensitive to your specific situation and needs. We never felt as though Pete was rushing a purchase decision, or trying to do anything other than find us the right home for us.

Pete is the BEST! I'm relatively new to Vancouver and, while I owned a condo previously in California, I knew nothing about buying property in Canada. Not only did Pete explain everything I could possibly want to know, he also knew a ton of info about all the various buildings/stratas. Pete was able to get me a price that I'm extremely happy with on a home that I've just moved into. I absolutely love it! I highly recommend using Pete as your realtor. He will work really hard for you, and is an all around lovely guy as well! I could not have asked for a better home-buying experience!!

Pete was absolutely amazing to work with when he helped me find my first home. He was super responsive and did an amazing job answering any questions I had regarding a first home purchase to help me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. I trust him completely with his vast knowledge and expertise in the field and during the negotiation process. Everything went as smooth as could be and I would recommend Pete to anybody looking to purchase or sell a home. His experience definitely shows and he will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with the end result!

When a friend heard that my husband and I were starting our search for a home in metro Vancouver she immediately recommended Pete. And we are so glad she did. Pete was incredibly kind and patient with us as we evaluated different cities, neighbourhoods and types of properties across the lower mainland. He was knowledgeable, transparent and always made us feel like we were his most important client. He was also an incredible voice of reason. In the end, he helped us purchase our dream home in a lovely family neighbourhood just steps from the beach. We couldn’t be happier.

We are so happy with Pete's service in selling & buying and couldn't recommend him more. He's been in the industry for a long time and he has a true passion for it. He is so responsive, patient and generous with his time which is incredibly important with Vancouver real estate. Pete also has great network and team supporting him (photographers, cleaners, contractors, house inspectors, etc) so credit goes out to his team as well. Pete, thank you for helping us navigate this crazy real estate world. We will be using your services for as long as you're in the industry.

We were extremely happy with the way Pete handled the sale of our home - he was professional, knowledgable, and very easy to work with. Most importantly, he was successful in selling our condo within a very short time frame at a price we were very happy with. He was always available to answer our many questions and went out of his way to make the process smooth and painless for us. Pete's hard work was instrumental in securing the successful sale of our condo and we would happily recommend him to any friend or family member looking to buy or sell their home.

Pete helped my wife and I with the purchase of our new home. Buying your first house is extremely stressful and you feel like everyone is speaking a foreign language half of the time, but thanks to Pete he was able to guide my wife and I into a great deal and allow us to make a great purchase. If it wasn't for Pete and his amazing attention to detail and persistence I know we would not have our home right now. I would 100% recommend Pete and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell in Vancouver and the surrounding areas. Thanks again for everything Pete!!!

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.

We met Pete at an open house a few years ago and have been happy clients of his ever since. Most recently he helped us upgrade to an amazing townhouse, in extremely competitive market conditions. At the same time, Pete and his team sold our condo quickly, easily and for an amazing price! The whole process was unbelievably smooth and we are delighted with our new place. Pete is a very experienced, knowledgeable and skilled realtor, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Vancouver!

Pete was a fantastic guide through the first-time home buying experience. He took his time to show us around and explain how to spot problems in the condo units we were looking through, and never pressured us to get caught up in a bidding war or to stretch beyond our means. We ended up with a home we're extremely happy with, and Pete still helps us out by recommending solid and reliable contractors. We're very happy we found Pete (through a friend who was another happy client), and recommend him to anyone looking for their new home in Vancouver!

Very approachable, friendly and professional working with us to help find our home in Vancouver after we moved here. Lots of great information and advice on the areas we were looking at purchasing. He personally responded to us quickly and was extremely helpful during and after the purchase of our home. Pete was recommended to us by some friends and took us on as clients with a positive and kind attitude. He did a great job for us and we would recommend him to anyone that wants to have a personal and professional touch to buying your home!

We met Pete prepandemic in our search for a first home, due to the pandemic and the new baby we had on the way, the search for a forever home took a while longer than we anticipated but Pete was super supportive, flexible and patient the entire process. He really takes the time to go through the viewings, explain what to look out for and is always honest and open with his opinion and recommendations. We never felt pressured to put in crazy offers during the pandemic bidding wars. Thanks so much for helping us find our first home Pete!

From start to finish, our process with Pete was everything we could have asked for. From photos, to brochures, to online presence, our home was marketed exceptionally. Pete and his team did an excellent job of getting our listing out to market in impeccable timing while bringing in serious and meaningful interest. Pete’s collected, calm nature helps to put what can be a stressful time at ease. He is also fast acting. The speed of which we were able to sell our home with an offer we were happy with proves his experience in the market.

What a great guy! Pete is a very skilled and professional businessman and and expert realtor. We were new to the BC market, spent almost a year to find the right fit and he was there with us till we find the right property. He provided every analysis and information we requested for potential properties, guided us to the right direction and helped us to find the North Van condo we bought recently. I strongly recommend him if you are in the market trying to sell or buy. Don't call anyone else!!! Thank you Pete!!! Troy & Chloe

I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience working with Pete recently! Thanks to his professionalism, patience, sound advice and support in navigating the ever so challenging Vancouver real-estate market, we found our new home and couldn't be happier! If you're searching for a realtor, you can't go wrong by reaching out to Pete. Purchasing a home isn't an easy process but with the genuine help and knowledge of Pete and his team, everything fell into place nicely. 5 stars all around! Thanks again, Pete!

Absolutely fantastic Realtor. We were first time home buyers and new to Canada. Luckily, we found Pete, he was patient, professional, experienced, and very knowledgeable. Pete held our hand throughout the entire process and made sure we were getting everything we need. He always gave us all the information we needed in no time. In the end we were able to find the exact property we were looking for and make the purchase. We are extremely happy with Pete's work and definitely will hire his services in the future if needed.

We sold our condo in Gastown and purchased another condo in the same area with Pete. Through the whole process he was friendly, responsive and had good suggestions. He listened to what we wanted to do and helped us turn that into reality! As part of selling and buying, we had need of a good contractor as well, and Pete was able to recommend someone who was able to do the work we needed on budget and in a quick timeframe. No speed bumps or hiccups along the way! We will definitely seek Pete out the next time we move.

Pete is spectacular. We contacted him when buying our first investment property. Pete's vast real estate knowledge and calm demeanor made what could have been a very stressful experience, enjoyable. He is extremely quick when replying to questions, always there to guide us through the process and gave great recommendations to complete small renovations once the sale was complete. He was so great we ended up buying two properties and I would hesitate to get him to assist us again in our next real estate endeavor.

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.

I met Pete almost 10 years ago when I purchased an apartment in Olympic Village. Since then I have sold and purchased 5 properties in the lower mainland. Every time Pete has gone above and beyond to make the transaction seamless, not to mention getting me the best deals and top dollar for my resales. I have very high expectations in business and Pete has always gone above and beyond to meet them. He is definitely top notch and an expert in all areas of real estate. I would strongly recommend Pete! -- Natascha

Pete has both sold and purchased a home for us in Vancouver, and in both cases we we’re very impressed with his professionalism, pulse on the market, and great advice in all aspects around the real estate transaction. Pete always acted with integrity and never pressured us to buy or sell quickly, but provided sound advice around market trends. I highly recommend anyone to work with Pete if they’re buying or selling a home in Vancouver, as it makes a huge difference working with an agent you can trust.

Pete did an incredible job throughout the whole selling and buying process - I am so happy to recommend him. He cares about his clients and as a first-time buyer I appreciated his guidance and honest input. He was professional, organized, knowledgeable, accessible, and positive. He really invested his time and expertise into each detail. We absolutely would not have had such a great outcome without him! He took care of every step along the way and made a big transition go extremely well. Thanks Pete!

Pete was an outstanding realtor to work with, particularly as a first time buyer in this crazy Vancouver market. He always had an informed, insightful and honest opinion about every place we saw together (including carefully - and rightly - counselling me out of one or two that wouldn’t have been a good fit!). It’s because of this honesty that when he says - go for it - you have the confidence and certainty that you’re getting a good one. Thank you, Pete, for your guidance, expertise and hard work!!

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!

Pete has been an absolute pleasure to work with! He helped me to find the perfect first home in Vancouver. My list of wants and needs was fairly extensive and he had the utmost patience touring me around many different places. As a first time home-buyer, he made sure I truly understood what to look for and was always forthcoming with his opinions while not being pushy whatsoever. I feel completely at ease with my final purchase having had his advice throughout the process. Thank you Pete!!

Pete is a honest and professional Realtor. We always got his honest opinion and never felt like it was about the sale. We consider ourselves very blessed to have found him. Otherwise I truly doubt we would now be in our forever home. If your looking for a honest realtor who will look out for your best interest. Pete is your guy! If we ever decided to sell there is no doubt at all that we will be using him! Thanks Pete for everything! You deserve all the best

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.

We've partnered with Pete over the past 7 years and he's a fantastic Vancouver real estate agent. Pete has extensive knowledge of the Vancouver market, he's personable and efficient. He has a great network within the industry and we've been extremely happy with the two homes we purchased through Pete. Pete is a great communicator and we appreciated that he answered all of our questions so quickly. I highly recommend using him for your next home hunt!

Pete Shpak was recommended to us by friends and I’m really glad we went with him. We were first time buyers and he helped us navigate the process with ease. Pete is very knowledgeable and quickly responded to our many questions. He helped us find the right place and was able to negotiate for a price that we were very happy with. Overall our experience working with Pete was excellent and we would definitely work with him again in the future.

First time using a realtor and it was great! We found Pete through his outstanding reviews and I personally had reservations on using him, as he wasn't referred to us by friends or family, but he proved to he awesome. He is extraordinary at what he does and listens to your needs genuinely. Pete knows the market very well and is respected throughout the industry. I would recommend him to anyone looking for something to call home.

Pete and his team did an amazing job selling my Yaletown condo. He didn't give up in a challenging market, held open houses constantly, provided attractive and impactful marketing pieces and kept me well informed as to the progress. But, most importantly, even though my property didn't sell for many months (due to market conditions), Pete managed to get me full price in the end thanks to his hustle and pro active efforts.

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!

We had the good fortune to work with Pete Shpak on our recent apartment purchase. His impeccable attention to detail, transparency, professionalism, and responsiveness made the process extremely easy for us. Pete took care of all critical elements and did it with a most positive disposition and approach. If you are in the market for an agent who cares about his customer then I would highly recommend Pete and his team !

As first time home buyers, we were reasonably naive to how everything works. Pete is energetic, very knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator, explaining many details to us that we may not have thought to ask about - and we landed the perfect place for our family because of him. Not only did he take care of setting up viewings, he also helped connect us to all the extra people you need to seal the deal. Thanks!

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!

My husband and I were referred to Pete by a coworker and had a fantastic experience buying a condo and then selling it three years later. We were new to Vancouver and relied heavily on Pete's knowledge of neighbourhoods, developers, buildings and stratas to make an informed purchase. The service Pete and his team provide is top notch and it was a pleasure to work with him. 10/10 would recommend!

Pete was highly recommended by friends of ours and he did not disappoint! We were first home buyers and Pete guided us through the experience seamlessly. We really enjoyed buying our first condo with the help of Pete. He also recommended a really good lawyer, inspector as well as a contractor. He thought us a lot and actually made the entire process a lot of fun and less stressful! 10 out of 10!

Pete, is the best realtor in Vancouver! Not only is he extremely knowledgable about the market, he also doesn't apply any pressure, and he truly cares that you find the right home. Pete and his team are amazing to work with, they think of everything, and support you every step along the way. He sold my condo, and got me my dream home - I would highly recommend him to anyone! He's the best.

We used Pete as our realtor to sell our apartment in downtown vancouver and the transition from start to finish was very smooth and professional. Even though we were not available in person to deal with our tenants Pete’s team took care of everything communicating on our behalf and taking care of all the details and prep work. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend.

Pete was excellent from the moment we met him till the completion of the sale . His team that staged the home did a superb job that had offers coming in almost instantly.

Thanks for everything :)

My condo is sold in a week compared to previously listed for months by different agent. Thank you again !

Pete is super knowledgeable on the Vancouver market, helping us through navigate the trade offs of different condo buildings, townhouses, duplexes, and houses. He's been invaluable in helping us find the right home in Vancouver for us! In selling our condo as we upsized, Pete was great at reading the market and helping us get the sale we were looking for.

Pete negotiated a better price than I had hoped for on the purchase of a home for me. Then he arranged for I Find It Inspections to do the building inspection and attended the inspection with me. As the home is in a strata, Pete provided the relevant minutes and regulations. Finally he personally delivered the keys at closing! Outstanding service.

Working with Pete was a great experience! He sold the home quickly and made buying a new home a smooth process. He was very knowledgeable and had reliable connections to all the resources needed. Always there to answer questions and really felt that Pete had my best interest at heart! I would recommend Pete to anyone who is looking for a realtor.

Pete and his team are the absolute best, they are all willing to go the extra mile. We felt so well taken care of and have sold and bought multiple properties with them. Every time we knew we were getting the best advice and the most exposure when marketing our homes. Everyone on the team is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. 10/10 recommend!!

Simply outstanding. Pete has been helping us with our real estate transactions for the last purchase. Kind, knowledgeable, patient, he was always there when we needed help. We ended up with an untraditional purchase, and Pete has brilliantly supported us with detailed responses and explanations. We cannot wait to be working with Pete again!

From our initial meeting and through viewings, negotiating the purchase and closing, Pete was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He was an excellent communicator and kept me updated every step along the way. Pete was simply fantastic to work with!

Pete helped us sell our most recent townhouse in less than a week.

We recently had the good fortune of working with Pete and his team. We sold our 2 bed condo in Lynn Valley over asking price and Pete also helped us find our dream home in North Van. From start to finish we couldn't have asked for more and Pete even shovelled the snow off our driveway on move in day!!! 5 stars well earned

Pete was our first ever realtor and there's a good reason why he is so highly rated! Pete is the perfect combination of friendly and proactive without sugar coating things.

Pete was great to work with as first time buyers. He was very available when we had questions and didn't push us to buy, even pointing out a few issues we hadn't considered on one condo we were otherwise considering. We'll be going back to Pete in the future, I'm sure!
