"Our family has sold three houses and purchased one with Simon, and found his acumen, strategic approach and advice to be super helpful on each of these transactions. We were able to sell our homes relatively quickly, by being realistic with respect to pricing, and by preparing each to showcase their highlights and features. He helped us buy a home that we really wanted, by being thoughtful and timely in our bidding.
Simon is friendly to work with and knowledgeable with respect to counselling offers. Moreover, he has a ‘golden rolodex’ of partners to help with the process … whether staging, painting, or otherwise, he can rally talented professionals to help you sell, and secures the advice and information you need when buying.
Simon is great at the real estate game, and we look forward to working with him again."

"I had no idea quite how much work went into the process of buying a home. As a first time buyer, I will forever be grateful I had Simon in my corner. My purchase was complicated: time-sensitive due to pre-approved financing, involved my parents as co-signers and stakeholders, and working in a red-hot market with many bidding wars. His expertise, hard work, dedication, good humour, and persistence made a process that would have been unbearably confusing, exhausting, and stressful into one that was smooth and successful ."
-Ben Wilinofsky
"I have known Simon for many years and he has guided us through the sale of three homes and purchase of two. I have the highest regard for his professionalism, knowledge and judgement. His understanding of the housing market in Vancouver is remarkable and he is able to translate this into practical, timely and realistic decisions and advice about real estate choices and transactions. My wife and I have been totally satisfied with his services. His care, attention to detail and customer service are absolutely top class. Simon has also acted for several family members all of whom are equally impressed. I have no hesitation in recommending him and would not consider working with anyone else."

"Simon has helped me more than once to buy and sell my residence. His real estate knowledge, advice, common sense and calm demeanour are invaluable assets. He has an uncanny ability to read the market. He offers advice about monetary values, strategies for showing property, but also advice about how to make decisions. Selling and buying a 'home', a place where you will live, can be a very stressful, emotional experience and the decisions you make can change your life. Simon's understanding of the emotional side of moving is truly unique."
– Helen O’Keeffe
"We've done five transactions with Simon over the last 15 years. We really appreciate his apt read of the market, the utmost integrity in how he does business, and his strong advocacy for his clients. In addition to his kind personable approach, Simon has repeatedly gone above and beyond his function as a Realtor to help us as homeowners and people."
– Kim Morrice and Bryan Robertson
Vancouver is a very competitive real state market and we have worked with Simon for the past 10 years to help us navigate this complex buying and selling environment. Simon has years of experience in the Vancouver context and has ensured we buy into well built, beautiful, and problem free homes. Our experience with him selling our home was totally stress free, he managed every detail for us and we walked away with a better offer than we had hoped for. We always recommend him to our friends and family, we would never consider working with anyone else!

"Simon Myara is a very experienced, knowledgeable and supportive real estate agent. He showed determination in complex situations, patience with this client’s lack of technical knowledge and good humour throughout the time that ended in a sale that was both acceptable to his client and the Board of the Apartment’s Co-op building. Many thanks again for all your hard work."

"Dear Simon, With the successful completion on the sale of our property this week, we would like to thank you for your role as our realtor. Simply put, you exceeded our every expectation of the perfect realtor. When we first spoke in August, you were a calm voice on our sale prospects. You didn't pressure us in the least, but gave us options and suggestions. Your suggestion that we make some significant upgrades to the property reminded us of the renovation nightmares of our previous efforts. You assured us you would guide us in the renovation with trusted trades people, and you delivered. Because these trades respect the value of their relationship with you they delivered with quality and on time, with minimal surprises. You were there for us through the whole process. The final product was fantastic and we're certain made the sale happen quickly and for the top value we were seeking. Throughout you were available to answer our questions and gave us updates on every aspect of the pre-sale and sales process. This really helped us feel 'in the loop' and confident in the decisions. We liked your frank answers to our many questions-no beating around the bush."
