Why Work with John Carlson?

I believe I am the SMART CHOICE when it comes to buying and selling a home in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. As a local resident, with a 24 years experience and approximately 1,000 successfully closed transactions, I’ve got the tools to get the job done. I am a fully licensed, full-service agent in Maple Ridge, BC, happily serving my local communities.

Here’s the thing: recent years have brought about significant changes to the real estate industry. What makes me different and so successful? I don’t fight the changes in our industry – I embrace them. I offer a unique combination of an efficient business model, a full-service approach, and comprehensive marketing to ensure my clients get great results I don’t cut corners, and I don’t promise you the world, but I do promise to act with honesty and integrity and to sell your home for all it’s worth!

John Carlson was my realtor for my home purchase in Coquitlam. Not only was he my real estate agent he was an advocate for me.

We talked about different neighbourhoods and discussed their character. He was able to work with my schedule to arrange a time to meet. It was fast-paced and John was able to discuss with me and prioritize elements in my purchase so that it went smoothly as possible and to close the deal. He was able to advocate on my behalf to get a price lower than the asking price. My home is a three bedroom two bath condo with a large patio in the heart of Coquitlam Centre close to the sky train. I am pleased with the result and I am making my place a comfortable home everyday.

Thanks John!

Thank you for providing me with your excellent real estate service. You have been very thorough with your work and it is much appreciated. Before I chose you at ‘One Percent Realty’ to represent my townhome sale, I was concerned that I would receive inferior real estate service as I was paying you half the fee of other Real estate companies for the same work. I was thus pleasantly surprised and am happy to see that there are real estate companies out there that are willing to provide good real estate service to the community at a lower cost. Thank you also for your honesty in sharing your inside info of how real estate fees are shared amongst agents in completed sales. I will certainly be calling you when I have more work available! All the best with expanding your company!

EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST

Experience matters! I know that having a great price tag on my services is not as important as the quality of the service I offer. That is why I believe my clients get the best of all possible worlds. Current market experience may be an agent’s biggest asset to a client. John has approximately 1000 career sales- and that gives him a real advantage over most of his competition when it comes to:

Strategies relating to pricing, preparation, and presentation
Negotiating and defending your price and terms
Identifying and avoiding potential pitfalls and disadvantageous situations
Identifying and solving potential obstacles to a successful sale
Professional-grade negotiating skills in your corner

In over 25 years of real estate sales, John has an unblemished record of service.

RESULTS YOU CAN COUNT ON

Ultimately, success in the real estate industry is about consistently ensuring that the client’s needs are met and goals are achieved. Delivering results is what counts. Year after year, I take pride knowing that the bulk of our business comes from past clients who have been happy enough with the results I have helped them to achieve to recommend me to their friends and family, and to use me again. It is because of this network of happy clients that I have been able to consistently rank among the top agents in the business, both at our company, and in the Real Estate Board rankings overall.

I am within the top 1-2% of all REALTORS® in the REBGV for several years running
I am consistently in the MLS® Medallion Club, which recognizes the top 10% of all member agents
I have well over 1000 combined career sales

My aim is always to ensure that my clients get the best value possible in a smooth, stress-free transaction.
