In Jon's Own Words:
Since July 2021, our small real estate brokerage has sent $124,780 to some of the world's most impactful charities. And that number is always growing! 10% of all revenue for Western Pine Realty (owned by Jon and Jess Lumer) or for Jon Lumer as an agent gets redirected to one of these charities. We are talking about 10% of revenue, not profits, and that makes a big difference.
Who are the charities? Seva Canada delivers sight-restoring surgeries to people who would otherwise remain blind for lack of surprisingly small amounts of money. Against Malaria Foundation and Malaria Consortium bring inexpensive but effective treatment and prevention programs to help battle a disease that continues to take hundreds of thousands of lives every year, mostly pregnant women and children under 5. Unlimit Health supports sustainable country-owned solutions that eliminate preventable parasitic infections. Iodine Global Network makes a difference by adding tiny amounts of iodine to salt. This is a cost-effective answer to the problem of brain damage in children caused by insufficient iodine. Every dollar spent protecting children’s learning ability through salt iodization has a $30 impact. Raising The Village partners with last-mile farming communities in Sub-Saharan Africa over 24 months to address ultra-poverty through a multi-dimensional program model. Each dimension of the program works together to build household incomes year-after-year as communities transition from subsistence farming to income generation, breaking the chronic cycle of ultra-poverty.
How can we not send money to these groups?
Ok, now here's more about me and Team Pinecone.
I've spent close to a decade helping buyers, sellers, and owners of rental properties in and around Vancouver. I've been involved in hundreds of real estate negotiations and I've read thousands of strata documents, so I probably have something helpful to say about your particular situation.
It feels like I've worked with people from every possible background, but of course every story is different and I'm interested in finding out just exactly what you need right now and making sure that you get it.
Brendan Garland and Edith Rohu round out Team Pinecone. Brendan and Edith are both consummate professionals and between us we know that we never need let anything slip through the cracks.
I hope the reviews below will help give you a sense of the kind of service we deliver.
Can't wait to hear your story and discuss how we can work together.

Condo Purchase in Marpole, Vancouver, BC | Mar 2022
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
Condo Sale in Downtown, Vancouver, BC, Canada | Jun 2021
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
Condo Purchase in Arbutus Ridge, Vancouver, BC | Jun 2021
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
Townhome Purchase in Eagle Ridge, Coquitlam, BC, Canada | Jun 2021
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
Condo Purchase in Fairview, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada | Oct 2021
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
Townhome Purchase in Kitsilano, Vancouver, BC, Canada | Nov 2021
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
Condo Sale in Downtown New Westminster, New Westminster, BC | Jun 2021
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

Condo Sale in Mt Pleasant, Vancouver, BC | Jun 2021
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
Property Purchase in Cariboo/Burquitlam, Coquitlam, BC | Jun 2021
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
Property Purchase in Marpole, Vancouver, BC | Mar 2021
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
Property Purchase in Kitsilano, Vancouver, BC | May 2021

Property Purchase in Richmond Park, Burnaby, BC | Apr 2021
Jon was amazing throughout the viewing, offering, and buying process. We always felt comfortable asking him questions and approaching him with requests. He found something that met my needs while also aligning with my family’s. He was incredibly flexible and communicative. - fatima gulamhusein
Property Purchase in Champlain Heights, Vancouver, BC | Apr 2021
Property Sale in North Vancouver, BC | Apr 2021
Jon demonstrated a thoughtful and caring demeanour throughout the process of listing, marketing and ultimately selling our home of 25 years. We definitely benefited from his extensive knowledge and experience, as he worked to explore different options for us with both developers and the consumer market. Getting 9 offers and selling well above asking on the first day was great, but it was Jon’s calm and reassuring manner that made it all extra easy - and enjoyable. Jon deserves every one of the stars in our rating of his services. - Brendan Kelly
Property Purchase in Hastings-Sunrise, Vancouver, BC | Apr 2021
It doesn't get any more nerve-wracking than buying your first apartment but Jon's services were absolutely stellar. Jon has been there for us every step of the way and he's helped us answering all of our questions and doubts. Jon was always sincere and honest with us and he was able to make this stressful process a very smooth one. We're lucky to have found him as our agent and would definitely recommend his services! - Rodrigo Garcia-Rojas
Property in Champlain Heights, Vancouver, BC | Apr 2021

Jon was great to work with and I will not hesitate to work with him again in the future! He gives prompt replies and takes pride in his work. Very knowledgeable and will get you answers to questions you didn’t even know that had. Highly recommended, you won’t regret it. - Melanie
Property Sale in Vancouver, BC | Jan 2021
Highly recommend Jon as a realtor. He worked so hard to help us sell our property during this special time. We are super happy and satisfied working with him. He is patient and passionate. He managed to coordinate with our tenant to allow as many showing as possible. He got us an offer way faster than we expected. Definitely we will choose to work with him. - Angela
Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | Sep 2020
Jon is a great realtor who is honest, genuine and very knowledgeable. He is diligent, detail oriented and has an amazing combination of experience and education that is a great asset. He always makes himself available and is a great communicator. It was truly pleasure to work with Jon and I'd love to work with him for all my future real estate dealings. - Michael Schwalb
Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | Aug 2020
We were impressed right from the start by Jon's professionalism and his concern for his clients' interests. Jon was extraordinarily helpful and effective in assisting our search for a property that matched our criteria, especially considering that we were not able to view any of the potential properties in person. He kept us fully informed of any issue that we should be aware of. The fact that we bought the property sight unseen should speak volumes about his trustworthiness and the excellent support that he provides. We STRONGLY recommend Jon's service to any potential buyers and sellers. - Robin Yates & Grace Fong
Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | Nov 2020
Jon was super professional. He was also very accessible and able to work around a difficult schedule. Our purchase was fast, but we felt comfortable the whole time because of the support we received from Jon. He knew the questions to ask to ensure we had a safe buying experience. We are so happy with our new home. We highly recommend Jon! - Christina Addington
Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | May 2020

Property in Vancouver, BC | May 2020
Jon has helped me purchase and sell a couple properties and the services provided are beyond exceptional. I believe his level of knowledge and professionalism is unparalleled to any other agents I’ve worked with and talked to. I’ve never felt any pressure to buy or sell and have always been confident Jon is looking out for our best interest. Jon is also one of the best communicators in the business. Whether it’s returning a phone call, text message, or email, you can be assured it’s timely and efficient. I will not hesitate to recommend Jon as a realtor and I’m looking forward to working him again soon. - Jonathan Kou
Property Sale in Vancouver, BC | May 2020
This will be the third property transaction Jon has assisted me with and it's a testament to his professionalism, knowledge, and ability to get the job done that I have continually reached out to him to be my agent again and again. I've dealt with different brokers in the past, but in my opinion Jon is a cut above, particularly when it comes to negotiation. Not only is he knowledgeable, but his negotiation skills and ability to deal with sometimes challenging situations remains top-notch in my experience. I would strongly recommend Jon to anyone looking to buy, sell, or just wanting to see what is out there. With Jon, there's never any pressure; he's always there to help no matter what your need is. - Sean Thompson
Property Sale in Vancouver, BC | Apr 2020
I have worked with Jon for the past 4 years where I have bought and sold condos. Jon knows the Vancouver, New West, and Surrey areas very well and his guidance come based on solid research, trends, marketing and general know how of the lower mainland real estate environment. He is a professional every step of the way through the buying and selling process. He has been a great resource as I continue to build out a real estate portfolio. I would definitely recommend Jon as I will continue to work with him. - Faroon
Property Sale in Vancouver, BC | Jan 2019
I have decided to go with Jon for the sale of my condo after meeting and researching other agents because he was truly the most helpful and genuine person I met. He was %100 with me every step of the way during the prep and sale of the condo giving great advice and info backed with meticulous research he did. It was a very smooth sale thanks to him. A true professional and I would not hesitate a second to recommend him. - Ali Tezel

Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | 2020
Jon was extremely professional and helpful in our first purchase. Real Estate agents are providing a service and given new technology that is coming out, this service is constantly changing. I found despite the wealth of information online for finding places, Jon went above and beyond to help in our purchase. It was a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend Jon to anyone. - Nate Webber
Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | Dec 2019
Couldn't have asked for a better realtor-experience. His previous career as a lawyer has obviously prepared him for the turbulent world of Vancouver real estate. Jon was very effective in managing our expectations, and consistently provided advice that demonstrated expert-knowledge of the local real estate scene. This was most apparent when dealing with other realtors, who often provided incomplete details regarding important aspects of potential strata purchases (e.g., local bylaw applications, active liens, etc.). Jon was quick to highlight missing information and ensure it was provided by the sellers' realtor. I'd highly recommend Jon to anyone and am more than satisfied with the work he did for us. Thanks Jon! - Jesse John
Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | Dec 2019
Jon was great. As a first time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and Jon had all the answers. Jon always made sure he was available at my convenience and went out of his way to make sure I had all the information I needed. While looking at properties Jon also really helped me to get a good sense of what I was looking at and discussed everything with in such a way that helped me make informed decisions. Jon never ever made me feel like he was pushing for me to make a purchase. In fact, he was great at pointing out causes of concern and consideration in the properties I viewed. It was very apparent that Jon's first priority was my satisfaction. - Joe W
Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | Dec 2019
Awesome experience with Jon for our very first home. He was easy to work with and he was always there for us whenever we had question (like a lot of questions!) - Jihyun James
Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | Aug 2019
Jon was a great resource for us when buying our first home. He was extremely knowledgeable and responsive when we needed him. His no pressure approach and friendly demeanor made an often stressful experience a fun and rewarding one. Truly a great resource when making one of the biggest purchases of your life! Thanks Jon! - Tudor Hofnar
Property Purchase in Vancouver, BC | Sep 2019
Jon was the perfect agent for us as I am very detail-oriented and had many/frequent questions for him. Jon patiently and systematically responded to every question and his communication was always very prompt - even if we reached out after office hours. This was our first property in Canada; Jon's knowledge and skills were crucial in securing the deal for us. We were under time constraints and had to finish the transaction while away from Canada. Thanks to Jon being with us every step of the way, despite the time difference, we were able to successfully make the purchase. We often asked him questions that did not relate to his role, but he never hesitated to answer all our queries. He also showed great honesty throughout the process. At no time did we feel that Jon was trying to suggest anything to us to serve his own interest. We felt that Jon really went over and above his responsibilities as a real estate agent. We really enjoyed working with him and would, without hesitation, use his services again. - Beijinger Kaders

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
