As a
former Real Estate Lawyer, Sid understands the importance of protecting his client’s best interests, keeping them fully informed, and advocating strongly on their behalf.
Sid is a
Medallion Club Member (ranked in the Top 10% of Realtors® in Greater Vancouver), a recipient of the
Top Producer Sales Award from Oakwyn Realty, and is included in Property Spark’s list of the “
Top 100 British Columbia Real Estate Agents on Social Media".
During his time as a Real Estate Lawyer Sid handled hundreds of closings of both residential purchases and sales each year. This experience has allowed Sid to bring a unique perspective to his role as a Real Estate Agent, along with professionalism, a high attention to detail, and exceptional communication, dispute resolution, and organizational skills.
Sid’s love of real estate stems from years of working closely with his mother Jacqueline on renovations, staging, and design of both their own homes and investment properties.
Giving back and being involved in his community is something that is very important to Sid, and which both motivates him and allows him to build strong connections with people from all walks of life. While practicing law in Gastown, Sid had the opportunity to serve as a Board Member for the Gastown Business Improvement Society (BIA), where he was involved in making decisions to promote the interests of local businesses within the neighbourhood. One of the most rewarding experiences that Sid has been involved in is his work leading a “Circle of Hope” in support of Rainbow Refugee, which raised over $30,000 to support bringing a refugee, originally from Iran and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, to Vancouver. Sid is a member of the Dr. Peter Centre's Pride Kickoff Committee, which is responsible for throwing a highly successful annual fundraiser in support of the Dr. Peter Centre, an Ambassador for Ballet BC, and Co-Chair of QMUNITY's upcoming Capital Fundraising Campaign.
Sid’s eyes light up whenever he sees a dog, so don’t be surprised if you find him petting and taking selfies with dogs he meets on the streets!
