Chad Kruper as a Real Estate Agent has worked with me for about a year until we reached the completion date on the purchase of my house. He has proved absolutely invaluable during the complicated and tiresome process of inspections. He has arranged for all of the inspectors. Chad personally supervised the inspections, made sure I received all the reports. Later we discussed all the results. He was in contact with the sellers of the house in regards to removal of an old burried oil tank. Chad had taken care of all the complex paperwork always being able to explain in a knowledgeable and patient way the difficult points. His deep understanding of the Real Estate and the individual buyers situation was evident during our discussions about conditions in the contract of purchase. Chad made sure that both sides of the transaction are treated with respect which made, for both parties, this difficult transaction a much easier experience. I will certainly recommend Chad Kruper as a Real Estate Agent who will help buyers and sellers to reach their goal with care, help, kindness, cooperation, high qualifications and professional approach. Based on my successful and seamless experience, working with Chad Kruper is a guarantee of all the challenges related to home buying and selling a great exrience resulting from Chad’s great attitude as well as his great knowledge and professionalism.

Absolutely the best! We have used a realtor in the past while buying a house, and have heard of the experiences of our parents and friends with other realtors and Chad truly goes above and beyond. I don’t know many realtors out there that actually have your best interest at heart, but Chad certainly does. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, and if he doesn’t know something he researches and gets answers promptly. He’s very friendly and approachable. I honestly have nothing but good things to say.

After working with Chad for many months and seeing a lot of properties, we saw an ad for an open house. We decided to have a look and immediately knew it was the house for us.

Brijesh Patel

We cannot say enough good things about the John Vernon team, they have been an absolute pleasure to work with. We consulted with multiple Realtors who we just didn’t connect with before we found John, Johnny and Dennis. They are warm and genuine people who truly care about their clients and understand the emotions involved in selling and buying a home. We trusted them fully with all of their recommendations in doing so, they sold our home in record time for a price which exceeded our expectations, and helped us buy our new dream home. We are forever grateful for the John Vernon Team.

J & K. Patterson

We had such a great experience working with you all! Always helpful, knowledgeable & supportive… quick to respond and patient – in other words: THE BEST!

L & C Larsen

We used Chad to sell our house, and we knew as soon as we were looking to buy that we wanted him to be our agent again! He is fantastic. When we were interested in a home that had sellers in an unusual financial situation, Chad did an incredible amount of research and contacted people in many different fields (including lawyers and mortgage specialists) to help us make the safest and most informed decision possible about putting an offer on the house (we ended up buying another house). It was very apparent he had our best interest at heart, and was not just trying to make a sale as quickly as he could. He was so accommodating with our crazy schedule, and drove up and down the lower half of the island a few times to look at houses with us. His communication is excellent. He is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the market, house construction, and other things I don’t even know how to describe. And if he doesn’t know the answer to a question, he is very prompt about finding answers. I cannot recommend him enough.

Breanna Sorensen

This is our second time acquiring a property with Chad and we’re completely thrilled with the experience! Chad exceeded our expectations, diligently seeking answers to all our questions. He was consistently accessible, and always ensured we were well informed and confident in our decision making. We’re looking forward to future business ventures with Chad on the island!

Dakota Belitsky

John, this is to acknowledge your tireless and very professional work that you provided to us on repeat occasions with your calm and focused style, accuracy and gentlemanly conduct. This is a rare opportunity for me to say this about anyone but it applies to you: you never dropped the ball…

J & C Schaffer

You are really over the top! You give of yourself one hundred percent plus in what you do, heart and soul. We can’t thank you enough for selling our home and doing it so quickly too. It has been a genuine pleasure to have known you.

B Gratton & J Tulloch

I would recommend Chad for any real estate transactions. He’s very knowledgeable in his field, always prompt on response and correspondence. He is also very honest about his viewpoints. He makes sure we understand all aspects of the transactions, the highlights of the property and also some potential struggles with appropriate solutions too.

Satyam Pandya

My partner and I can’t express enough how fortunate we were to work with Chad as our real estate agent for our very first home in Canada. We are new to BC and Vancouver Island and were not sure where to start. From the very beginning, it was clear that Chad possessed a remarkable blend of skills and qualities that set him apart as the agent for us. Working with him was a no-brainer. Chad demonstrated a great understanding of the local housing market. His insights into various neighborhoods, property values, and market trends proved invaluable and helped us make informed decisions. Communication with Chad was always a breeze. He was patient and helped us clear all kinds of questions we had on different properties (we had a lot!), clarifying property nuances and zoning intricacies. His skillful negotiation tactics and ability to advocate for our interests resulted in a deal that exceeded our expectations, and we felt he was genuinely committed to securing the best possible outcome for us. Finally, his trusted recommendations for inspections and legal aid showcased his commitment to a seamless process. He earned our full trust and we will definitely would chose to work with him next time!

I could not have done this without him his knowledge and attitude make him an asset to any first time homebuyer. I really appreciate everything he has done. I highly recommend
5/5 stars.

Tyler Davidson

My boyfriend and I decided to move from the mainland to the island this year. Chad was recommended to us, and from our initial contact we were impressed. Working from such a distance, we expected the process to be much more challenging than it was. Chad had a thorough understanding of what we needed and what our expectations were, and made sure the viewings he set up maximized the little time we had when we came over from the mainland. He was professional, sincere and honest. We found an amazing place, and it was the smoothest home sale we’ve gone through. I highly recommend Chad, and will use him for any future property purchases.

Dawn Danroth

John Vernon Sr. and Johnny Vernon were referred to us when we needed a realtor and we have since used their services twice over the past few months. It has been an absolute pleasure working with John and Johnny. They were always quick to respond to us, kept us informed every step of the way and took the time to explain anything we did not fully understand. They were always professional and worked hard to get us what we needed when both buying and selling. We couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience and highly recommend John Vernon and Associates.

P. & S. Lunness

Thank you so much for selling our home! It was not easy and we appreciate how thorough and professional you both were every step of the way. We will certainly use you again in the future. With gratitude,

J. & K. Green

Thank you so much for your help selling our home so quickly! My husband and I only have positive things to say about John and Johnny Vernon; their attention to detail and professionalism were second to none. They provided us with detailed information that helped us understand the local market and determine an appropriate asking price for our home. They were prompt and punctual in all their dealings and always available by email and phone. Their amazing service led to a lightning fast sale of our home in a cooling market. I would enthusiastically recommend the Vernons to friends and family and would not hesitate to work with them again myself.

J. Duncan

We had a wonderful experience working with Chad. As first time home buyers, we didn’t quite know where to start. Chad answered all of our questions, was professional and honest, and was really just the perfect person to introduce us to the Victoria housing market. His skilled and knowledgable approach ensured that we were able to secure our preferred home at below-asking, and he’s made the closing process a breeze. I would highly recommend Chad Kruper and will be calling him again if we’re ever back on the move!

Leah Prier

As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about the entire process, but Chad made it so much easier and stress-free. From day one, he was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always took the time to listen to our needs. Chad walked us through every step, providing expert advice and answering all our questions—no matter how small. His dedication to finding us the perfect home truly stood out. Chad went above and beyond to ensure everything was in place, and we felt supported and confident in our decisions throughout. Thanks to him, we found our dream home with ease! If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and is committed to helping you find the right home, we highly recommend Chad. His professionalism and expertise made all the difference in our home-buying experience!

D. & P. Roux

Thank you John— for your skill, encouragement, perseverance, & kindness — more than words can say. Best sleep in eons: thanks again to you for that. You are terrific!

M. Duggan

John, and now his partner, Johnny, put the PROFESSIONAL in Real Estate Professional. Our house sale in the Sooke area went so well, so quickly, and so seamlessly because of our complete faith in John Vernon. His reputation preceded him, and it enabled us to concentrate on all the other details necessary for our move to Alberta while John took care of everything to do with the house sale. His relaxed, friendly manner coupled with immediate response to questions and concerns, made him so easy to work with. I know we were fortrunate to have the very best of the best in the Real Estate field. We also met John’s son, Johnny, before we left, and can see what a great team they will make. To anyone in the Victoria area who is contemplating selling your home, make life easy for yourself and call John or Johnny Vernon. You just can’t do any better than having them on your team.

C & J Calder

Chad was incredibly professional and helpful throughout the entire process. He moved quickly when I needed him to and was never pushy when I was dragging my feet. He was extremely knowledgeable with different comps and stats about the homes in the area. He was available in the evenings and on the weekends. I will definitely be using Chad in the future.

Sam Barclay

I’m glad that I chose Chad as my realtor. As soon as I started looking, there were a number of agents who contacted me to be my realtor but I chose Chad over an option that was suggested to me by friends. I’m glad I did. He was professional and friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and I appreciate the fact that he is working hard and doing it successfully. He is knowledgeable and I’m a first time home buyer but he taught me a lot without making me feel dumb. I would definitely recommend him.

Sam Gossen

We have purchased and sold five family homes throughout Western Canada over the past two decades. During this move to Victoria we were unfamiliar with the area and chose John based solely on his online presence and the level of professionalism that was apparent in his listings. We thought that a realtor that took that much care to properly present a home for sale was likely a good choice to help us with our purchase. This proved correct and we could not have been happier with the guidance and attention to detail we received, It was simply exemplary service and I will not hesitate to use John again or recommend him to friends or family.

P & D Lutman

It was a pleasure working with you on our oceanfront property purchase & thank you for your help & recommendations. We’re very excited about the purchase & about getting back to Canada. On a personal note, after the rather painful process of dealing with real estate agents in London & Dubai, it was an absolute pleasure working with someone so professional & knowledgeable & you helped make the process smooth – we wouldn’t be here without you, John, and that is very must appreciated.
