Josh is everything you could want from a real estate agent - especially for a first time home buyer. He is reliable, organized, proactive and responsive. We needed a lot of support and he was always available with useful suggestions and helpful contacts, but was never pushy. He really listened to our wants and needs and took stock of our post-viewing conversations (of which there were many) to provide us with a well-curated list of potential places until we were able to find the right one for us. - Marissa and George

Just purchased a condo in downtown Vancouver thanks to Josh! He helped negotiate a great deal, and always kept us in the loop. The seller's agent was hard to reach, but Josh kept after him until we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Super friendly, great communicator and very knowledgeable! Highly recommended if you're looking for a real estate agent. - Rohan

Josh Kepkay is an awesome real estate agent who knows the Lower Mainland inside and out. We really wanted to find a new townhome, however, with our budget and the cost of housing, we had to explore the Fraser Valley which was a new experience for us. Josh guided us through the pros and cons of our plan and of each area. After a few days of exploring the Lower Mainland, we successfully negotiated a great deal on a new townhome. He even got the air conditioning through into the deal! If you need a buyers agent who cares and knows his product and markets, you will be very happy working with Josh. - Shradha Jain

We found Josh Kepkay online during our research into the best realtors in Vancouver. His informative and honest videos on YouTube gave us enough confidence to call him. He started by taking the time to really get to know us and our needs before we got too involved with any specific property. After agreeing to work together, we had many conversations about different neighborhoods and buildings and homes. Eventually we found a handful of buildings that we felt would merit us traveling to Vancouver from Edmonton to explore further. While we had our sites set on Brentwood, we explored a beautiful new construction building in North Vancouver that Josh recommended and worked hard to get us a great deal on. The experience working with Josh was wonderful and he has such a positive spirit. He picked us up from our hotel in a clean car, spent the day educating us all about all kinds of different neighborhoods while keeping us hydrated with bottled waters. This was absolutely a five star experience! If that’s what you’re looking for, Josh Kepkay is the best realtor for you. - Rams

I called Josh on one of his listings and immediately appreciated his honesty and professionalism when he explained how that home would not be suitable for my specific requirements. He offered to meet with me to help me understand why only a select few types of homes would work for my unique goals. After meeting with him, I felt he understood what I wanted to achieve with buying real estate in Vancouver. Shortly after, he identified a handle of opportunities and we managed to secure a great investment property. I also appreciate the thoughtful weekly emails he shares with clients so we can understand the larger economic and political forces that drive the local market trends. Josh is a great Realtor in Vancouver and one you would be lucky to have in your corner. - THONG TUONG

From the first time we reached out to Josh Kepkay he answered immediately and from there on out he was very responsive. He is such a caring realtor and was so attentive to our needs. He was patient, kind, and always answered our questions (even the stupid ones)!! He definitely has a passion for what he does and you can tell that he loves his job and the services he provides. He is detail oriented, honest, energetic, and good with people. Josh was great at giving us the right advise and list of things needed to take care of and spike interest in our townhouse. In a matter of one week our townhouse was sold. We would highly recommend him to whoever is looking to buy or sell a property. Thank so much Josh - Mitra Gatmiri

Josh helped us a lot during the process of buying our first condo in downtown Vancouver. He is a very professional and dedicated realtor. Since we are first-time home buyers, we had no idea what to expect. We knew about stories of bidding wars and closing without subjects that are so widespread in Vancouver. When we first talked to Josh, we did not have our financial pre-approval. However, he was kind enough to answer all our questions and provide the necessary guidance. Josh provided us with a referral to a mortgage broker who helped us secure a lower interest rate. Moreover, we were planning to buy a condo as a foreign buyer. Since I have a BC-PNP nomination, we are allowed to buy a home without paying 100% of the additional property transfer tax. However, we had several important points to clarify before buying a home as a foreign buyer with a BC-PNP nomination. So, Josh referred us to a lawyer who can provide us with the proper legal advice to substantially avoid the additional property transfer tax, which is very exciting. When we were ready to put an offer, he did not make any delay. We negotiated and had an offer accepted on the same day, likely saving us from a bidding war as another offer landed the next day for the same unit. Josh is very knowledgeable about the Vancouver real estate market. From his knowledge and experience, he provided us with proper guidance to find the best place according to our requirements. He did not put any pressure at all. When we were stuck with any issues, he kindly provided his suggestions to sort out those issues. He is a very calm and friendly person and very easy to work with. So, we really enjoyed this journey with Josh, and I would say he is one of the best realtors in Vancouver. We would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. He will make it a wonderful experience for sure. - Chinthaka Dinesh

We had a wonderful experience listing our apartment with Josh Kepkay! We were looking for a Real Estate Agent who knew the market and could help guide us as this was our first time selling. Josh was referred to us and he did not disappoint! He was knowledgeable about the North Vancouver market and came in with a solid plan to get our listing ready. His communication was prompt and clear and his marketing was top tier. He created a fantastic, high quality video showcasing the area and our home as well as had beautiful pictures taken. After a very successful open house campaign, we were thrilled with the offers we received and ultimately sold our home! We couldn't have asked for a better Real Estate Agent to work with and can say with confidence that Josh would be an easy choice for anyone who is in the market! - Melanie Lowe

Josh helped us sell our condo and we can't say enough great things! He was incredibly professional and responsive, and so patient with us. He listened to our wishes and knew how important it was to our family that we get the best price and timeline on our sale. He pulled out all the stops marketing our place and it was sold within a week of listing. We received multiple offers and achieved the price and timeline we were hoping for. We highly recommend Josh if you're looking for an excellent listing agent and are glad we chose him to work with! - Rena Hobbs

Josh is high-energy and high-knowledge. He took the time to understand my criteria so thoroughly that he was able to provide great additional suggestions I hadn't thought of. He then immediately scoured the region for applicable properties and arranged rapid-fire showings, and provided insightful advice when it came to making an offer. Unfortunately I had to postpone the purchase due to external circumstances - but working with Josh was an absolute delight which I hope to experience again soon. - Sebastian Zein

I had a great experience working with Josh. This being my first foray into buying property, and maybe some long overdue adulting on my part. Josh guided me through the process of buying my first place, knowing nothing on day 1. He was attentive and responsive, and he found me a place that greatly exceeded my expectations of what I thought was possible and am very happy with how everything turned out. - Steve R

Reply:    Steve, it gives me great joy to know that working together we found you a home only a few minutes away from where you were living previously, enabling you to continue biking to work comfortably. Nothing is more satisfying to me than know that I played a part in helping my clients find a home that truly lets them live who they are. And also, I have to thank you. Walking you through the process gave me some great insights and reminded me of how stressful and her wracking in is to a first time homebuyer. Thank you for sharing your experience and letting me know that I was successful in bringing peace to the process.

My wife and I live in Toronto and were looking to buy a property in the Vancouver area for our daughter to live. We had no real idea of where to start but chanced across Josh’s name while searching through listings. Josh was very responsive and seemed to be quite knowledgeable about the Vancouver real estate market. He was open and honest and help us find just the right place. Even though we were thousands of miles away, and never really met in person, Josh really help us to find the perfect place. - Asha and Rob

Reply:    Thanks for your kind words, Asha and Rob! Working with you across time zones was a pleasure. I understand it can be especially difficult to trust someone you haven't with your daughter and your investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even more so when it's hard to believe how expensive real estate is out here! Your trust means the world to me and I am so glad we found the right home for Aditi in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. I spoke to her just the other day and she said she still cannot believe she lives in such a nice home. Thank you for your trust and for your business! And if you see this and wouldn't mind... could you copy and paste your review into Google Reviews? That's where most of my clients like to share their experience and I would love to have yours accounted for there too.

Josh Kepkay is the most unethical realtor one could ever work with. He was introduced to me by the realtor I was working with before he left on vacation for a week. Josh Kepkay did everything he could to rush me into buying a property in that week. I had mentioned from the beginning that my biggest concern regarding purchasing a property in Vancouver was the new law regarding the 15% foreign buyer tax, as I was holding a work permit at the time. After finding my desirable property I mentioned to Josh that I was doubtful about putting an offer since I was not sure whether the tax applied to work permit holders. Since I was on vacation at the time that the offers were being collected, Josh offered to talk to a lawyer on my behalf. He sent me a text message saying that I had to be a provincial nominee in order to be exempt from the tax. Then he called me and asked if the news had changed my mind and I said yes. He asked me to give him more time to talk to other lawyers and called me back within an hour and said that he had talked to other lawyers and that I am exempt from the tax if I had a Social Insurance Number. Since I did have a SIN number, I decided to go through with the purchase and put in my deposit after my offer was accepted. At the day of closing I was told that I had to pay the tax or I would lose my deposit. I ended up paying an additional 15% tax and had to borrow money from my family in order not to lose my deposit. I became a provincial nominee 6 weeks after the purchase and I did not have to pay the tax if Josh Kepkay hadn't rushed me. After what happened I contacted his manager, Henry Vagar, but he was extremely dismissive, did not answer some of my emails and his only response was that nothing wrong had been done! Josh Kekpay caused me great financial loss, I am and will be in debt for the rest of my life because he wanted to get his commission before my realtor comes back from his vacation. I am sure that he did not even consider for a moment what the impact of his actions would be on my life. If you are considering working with him be aware that nothing will stop him from lying to you on the phone or in person, he does make deals with other realtors and will try to sell you certain properties, he will try to rush you into buying and will try to get you to remove important subjects, he will try to set the closing date to earlier than your convenience and he will ask from random people to attend an open house to create more competition. If you are thinking about working with him be aware that he works at his best interest only, and not yours. - AK

Reply:    Thank you for the review and I am sorry your purchase did not go as you hoped. I take all reviews seriously and always try to deliver the best results for my clients.  My business of referrals and repeat business - I have never pressured a client and never will. I appreciate the difficulty of your situation. At the time of your purchase the foreign buyer tax was just being implemented. Both myself and your original agent had warned you in writing that the foreign buyer tax may effect your purchase. I advised you that while the tax may effect you I am not licensed to provide tax advise and that your best course of action was to consult a tax attorney – which you elected not to do.  In no way did I offer to speak to a lawyer on your behalf. Real-estate transactions can have time pressures – as this one did with a closing deadline imposed by the seller. I always provide my clients with a transparent overview of the risks of any transaction and work for their best interests.
