John Grasty—Homeowner Advocate
Metro Vancouver’s leading advocate in support of homeowner protection.
John Grasty is a fully accredited real estate professional who draws on over ten years of leadership experience as a Homeowner Advocate and is highly respected throughout Metro Vancouver for his contributions.
“More than 10 years ago, I co-founded COLCO (Coalition of Leaky Condominiums Owners) after discovering I was a victim of deficient home building practices. Since then, I’ve had an interest to be informed on housing issues and to share this with others.” – J. Grasty
John serves on the advisory council for Canadians for Properly Built Homes and is the Past President of the CASH Society (Consumer Advocacy and Support for Homeowners of BC). John’s commitment to your best interests, utilizing exclusive access to proprietary information, differentiates him from others.
“Staying involved in the industry I must be aware of the laws and regulations affecting homeowners in order to promote consumer protection. The benefit of my knowledge and expertise means a higher level of customer service and care from a professional that will always put your interests first. Beyond my own experience, I have been able to help countless buyers and sellers with their real estate objectives. I will do the same for you.”
John previously acted as Western Canada’s Purchasing Manager for a Canadian Crown Corporation. His ability to execute high level national agreements speaks volumes of John’s ability to negotiate.
“Protecting your negotiation position requires competent negotiation skills which only years of experience can provide. Having a representative that knows what he’s doing not only ensures that your interests are met but prevents certain legal or financial misunderstandings. Wouldn’t you feel more confident with a Realtor who can negotiate on your behalf when so much is at stake?”
John is probably the only tenured Realtor you are likely to find in Metro Vancouver with a “Zero” listing expiries record. Realtors who have listings that regularly expire demonstrate a lack of marketing expertise, and cannot possibly be working in the best interest of their clients. John will not accept listings where expectations are unreasonable, period.
“Sufficient knowledge of the market and pricing is mandatory. A Realtor should be crafting a marketing strategy that will give your home the best chance of getting sold. There are just too many expiries, and too many excuses for allowing a listing to expire.”
John proudly associates his real estate practice with Prudential Sterling Realty because of the emphasis placed on customer satisfaction. In a 2008 study conducted by J.D. Power & Associates, Prudential was ranked “Highest in Satisfaction for Home Sellers among National Full Service Real Estate Firms.”
