Jon Lumer Accepting New Clients

Jon helped me make a very difficult, time-sensitive move by getting me into a great property in a very difficult market. From first call to post-purchase support, I've been very happy I hired Jon throughout and can highly recommend his services and those of Western Pine Realty. Great experience and success under challenging circumstances thanks to Jon Lumer. - Walter

Jon is the security blanket of realtors that you want. My partner and I were first time homebuyers, and were pretty green. Jon is down-to-earth, informative, patient, and made a really daunting experience quite comfortable for us. Biggest thing that stood out about Jon and his service is he really cares about his clients and people in general, he shows this by making donations to really needy charities of our choice on our behalf, and really just treating our family nicely along the way. I cannot recommend Jon enough, he’s actually a human, that is excellent at his work. - Hilary Van Steinburg

Jon was the best! Very smart and knowledgable about the markets. He made the process fun and as first time home buyers he made something intimidating feel easy. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Along with being a great realtor he is a genuine kind person. - Nat Sacks

Jon Lumer is a truly amazing real estate agent. His personal qualities of honesty, warmth, sincerity and a genuine interest in people are combined with great professionalism, knowledge and a very strong work ethic to make him outstanding at his job and a real pleasure to work with. From the first time that he arrived at our home for the initial assessment to the final meeting concluding the sale, we felt that we had made a real friend as well as having an astute, experienced person at our side guiding us through the entire process and making what could have been a stressful situation pretty much painless and very positive. Jon was attentive to every detail and we loved that he took such special care with the description of our “cottage” and understanding the history of our 27 years there. We highly recommend Jon without any reservation and know that he will give the same above and beyond service to anyone lucky enough to work with him. - Marquita Lester

Our experience with Jon was amazing! He is a pleasure to work with. Having a big dog and moving from outside of the city, we were expecting everything to be so much more complicated than it was thanks to Jon! He helped us narrow down our options always considering our necessities and restrictions. He is very professional and gave us great opinions on the places that we saw. We had limited time in the city and he was very quick to act when scheduling viewings of properties that we were interested in. He was very good communicating with us, always answered our questions promptly and explained to us in detail. Jon is very friendly and kind, we couldn’t have asked for a better state agent in the rapidly changing Vancouver market! - Diana Valencia

As first time home buyers, Jon did an excellent job of guiding us through this very complex experience. His website is very easy to use and helpful for novices like us to get a feel for the market without having to spend tons of time on various websites. He explained everything to us in simple terms so we could understand and make more informed decisions. Jon was always available by call or email/text when we had questions and was very on top of research & scheduling viewings when we were busy with our personal lives. He looked for things during viewings and in condo documents that we may have missed and advocated for us strongly. For example, we were ready to make an offer on a condo but later Jon found via the depreciation report that the unit could be responsible for up to $65k in assessment fees in the next few years. He really saved us there! When we did find our home he absolutely went above and beyond to ensure we had a smooth move-in process. I came into this experience wary of realtors as everyone has heard less than positive stories before, but Jon brought such a personable and attentive quality to the roll that I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a new home! - Annaliese Middelmann

Jon was absolutely incrediable to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable and approachable. He worked alongside us every step of the way and was great with communication. Jon helped us purchase our home and then sell it 4 years later. We would highly recommend Jon and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future. - Neha Huggins

This was the first time purchasing a home, and Jon was absolutely amazing. I was slowly looking into buying a place; start talking to a mortgage broker, plan my financial situation, look into what’s out there in the market etc. And then maybe at the end of the year I will get really serious with the search. So I didn’t want to feel rushed to buy a home, as I have had multiple friends who felt they were pressured and rushed throughout the process by their realtors. Jon was recommended by my colleague, and he mentioned Jon is patient, trustworthy with no pressure at all. As I was clueless with property purchasing, I thought Jon would be perfect to talk to. I started viewing properties and I really liked the second property I went view, so upon discussing with Jon we put in an offer and luckily it got accepted. I’ve heard multiple friends going through bidding and not getting the property they liked, so I only put in an offer to get used to the idea of rejection. But I guess everything lined up at a perfect time, so much for “I will seriously look into buying a place at the end of the year” but luckily, it happened in April. And the paper signing and preparation began. Jon was amazingly helpful with the paperwork and document reviews before subject removal. As much as I had to do the document reviewing myself, he emailed me a summary of documents I was given (bylaws, AGM meeting docs, etc) and it helped me so much to educate myself with how things generally work and what to expect. It is a very nerve wrecking process to buy a property but I didn’t feel alone or lost with Jon’s help. I’ve asked multiple questions while I was clueless with everything, and he didn’t make me feel like an idiot. After the subject removal, he drove me to the new place for inspection, he also came to help me take measurements on another day even though it was only about 30 minutes or so. I didn’t really know what I can expect from a realtor, but Jon absolutely tries his best to be there for his clients whenever possible. I have been so happy with Jon that I even recommended him to my sister and brother-in-law, and they have been very happy to have Jon help them with the property hunting. My friends are starting look into buying a property as well so I have been pretty persistent with recommending Jon to them. I really want them to witness what I had gone through with Jon’s assistance, and I have no doubt they would be happy with him, as well. Thank you for all the help Jon ! You’re the best. - Nana Fujino

It took us over a year before finding the perfect home, and Jon was very patient throughout the entire process. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and happy to help at any given moment. He’s a knowledgeable real estate agent, I would be happy to work with him again in the future. Definitely recommend! - Christine

Jon is an absolute gem of a human and all around professional in every sense. I met Jon as an absolute stranger through a pre-sale condo website way back in 2015 and although my partner and I never purchased or sold until 2022 he was with us to answer any and all questions and offer guidance when we did consider selling/buying at various times prior to this year. When we finally made the decision to buy our next home Jon was kind, patient and extremely knowledgable in a market that couldn't be more inconsistent and illogical. Truly a leader in his field. He was always there for a phone call, to walk through comparable properties and help us make the best decision for us on all of our offers. When you choose Jon as your agent you will feel like his only client as he is so attentive and thoughtful. Never once did we feel pressured to offer on something we were uncertain of or to offer a certain price. His services exceeded all expectations and we certainly look forward to working with again in the future! - Emily LeDue

Jon helped me and my husband find a townhome that we absolutely love and couldn't be happier with! Throughout the process, Jon was knowledgeable, always available, and super patient as we searched for a home in this crazy housing market. We felt that he truly cared about helping us find something that we would love and was so accommodating throughout the whole process. We'd highly recommend him! - Lauren Shiu

Jon is an exceptional professional with incredible drive. I was fortunate enough to meet Jon through a colleague at work and he has found the perfect place for me after going through multiple listings together. I would strongly recommend Jon for anyone looking to sell or purchase properties in Greater Vancouver area. - Donghee Kim

This gentleman is the epitome of a professional. He is better than anyone else out there. Truly enjoyed working with him to sell my mom's home. I have no hesitation in recommending him. Truly the consummate professional. - Dr.Aristotle Azad

This was the third time that we worked with Jon. He sold us our first apartment, and sold it for us when we wanted to upgrade to the place he helped us purchase this year. Jon was always organized and provided in depth informative comparative analysis for each property we were interested in to help with our decisions and to decide on the best strategy. He was always honest and listened to our thoughts without pushing us in any direction. He was a great communicator and we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. He’s personable, funny, and an all-around great guy. When we found “the place” he worked hard to make sure we got it at a price we felt good about. Jon was amazing till the very end, and left us the sweetest welcome basket to enjoy in our new home. We are excited to work with Jon again for all our real estate needs!! - Emilie Grace & Ryan Silva

We started our search without pretty much any knowledge about the process, we lucked into Jon who was really helpful and patiently explained the process and what we should do to even start the process of searching for our home. Later he was very helpful when viewing the homes and giving us his honest opinion. I really think he wanted us to find a good home that was right for us and that we would be happy moving in to it. He went through the documents and helped us navigate and understand more about the history of the buildings and what to expect or where to avoid. Overall a really good person to work with, super accessible and always ready to answer all the questions we had. We also appreciate his generosity donating part of his commission on the sale to a charity. - Gabriel and Mariana

This would be the 3rd time my wife and I have worked with Jon, and this is for good reason as Jon has been an absolutely wonderful person to have as a resource, in this insane Vancouver real estate market. Related to our most recent purchase, he was very reliable and went above and beyond to insure we were well informed and had comfort moving forward. We have always found him to be honest and very knowledgeable and we trust his insights. We would definitely recommend Jon, if you are in the market to find a Realtor!! - Sarb Attwal

Purchased a 2-bed Condo using Jon as my Realtor and I would recommend him to any buyer or seller - his knowledge of the market and professionalism is unmatched. Jon will also go above and beyond to make sure your real estate experience goes smoothly! - Marcus Piehl

Jon has been an invaluable real estate agent since I met him a few years ago. Initially I was planning on purchasing a 2nd property in Vancouver and was more than impressed with the detailed analysis provided by Jon for each inquiry I had. I then decided to move to Vancouver Island and bought a house. I decided to sell my condo in Vancouver as it requires a full envelope repair in the next 2 to 3 years which made it more challenging to sell for the price we wanted. Jon went above and beyond and was able to find a buyer in short order at a price above our expectations. I highly recommend Jon for either buying or selling. - Jason Baybutt

Jon helped me buy my first home and I'm so thankful that he did. He toured numerous properties with me and did a great job of setting my expectations early on so I knew what I would have to do to get into a property that I was really happy with. - Gabrielle Dickert

Jon is an amazing realtor and we were so thankful to have him guiding us through the daunting process of buying our first home. We were searching in a crazy time and what we loved so much about working with him was that he was always very realistic and honest. We felt that all our questions were answered in the most helpful way possible, with a deep understanding of the Vancouver market and the humility to push us to form our own opinions. We felt that Jon cared a lot about helping us find a great home, and really appreciated his telling us when he didn't think something was good enough for us. All in all he made the process fun and exciting, when it could have been quite stressful, and we valued his help so much. It was so nice to have someone we could have absolute trust in, and we wouldn't have found this home we love so much without him. We would strongly encourage you to work with Jon, he's the best. - Skye Ruttle and Em Halberstadt

Jon was a true pleasure to work with on the purchase of our first home. His patience was especially appreciated, as we had begun our search two years prior to finally finding the home we bought. Jon's ability to provide an impartial, unbiased, and objective perspective on the homes we viewed was appreciated. On offer day Jon was excellent at making the dialogue as smooth and stress-free as possible. We would highly recommend and we look forward to working with Jon again soon! - Michael S. - Michael

The process of buying with Jon was a great experience - he is professional, on top of things and very resourceful. This is my second time buying through Jon and in both cases the experience was consistent. He genuinely wanted to find the place that was right for me and we got there. I will definitely use Jon's services again in the future! - David Robinson

Jon was a pleasure to work with on the sale of my condo this year! He made the whole process convenient and as effortless as could be for me. He was professional and knowledgeable. I was kept informed through out and he took the time to meet and discuss the sale in detail on several occasions. Jon is not only a great resource with extensive knowledge on the local market but very hard working and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend him to anybody looking to buy or sell. - A. Gara

Fantastic real estate agent with lots of knowledge of the Vancouver area and he provides an amazing customer experience. He also gives lots of helpful advice in order to get the transaction completed as quickly as possible. Highly recommended! - Vishal

I had the opportunity to work with Jon Lumer on the buy side in 2017 and on the sell side in 2021. I would definitely recommend his services as he is very efficient, professional, makes things happen quickly, brings a wealth of valuable insights, knows great people to assist where needed and his marketing on the sell side was top notch. I will definitely stay in contact with Jon Lumer and I look forward to working with him again. - J. Street

Jon was extremely professional, helpful and seemed genuinely keen to help me find a home instead of just wanting to close a sale (oddly rare for the Vancouver market)! I would recommend him to anyone making the leap from renting to owning a home in BC. - Chitra

From the moment we connected with Jon we knew we were in good hands. As first time buyers he took the time to answer all our (many, many) questions and helped us keep our heads cool in this red hot market. His responsiveness is what secured our deal - he was lightning fast in scheduling our viewing and that gave us the edge over other buyers. We had some initial issues with our mortgage and here again Jon was quick to offer pointers and refer us to the right people. Importantly we felt that Jon understood our needs and treated us as individual buyers - which led us to buying the perfect place for us. I have already recommended him to friends. - Jean-Michel Oblette

I cannot recommend Jon enough! He was absolutely fantastic and fully committed to helping us find our new home. Thank you so much for all of your help Jon. It was invaluable! - Vicky Jatana

Jon went out of his way, and above and beyond to get me into a great new place. My market knowledge was lacking, but Jon took the time to educate me. I’ll be using him for my next sale and purchase! - Jacob P
