Runethor Ionverse Realty Team

We're Not Your Typical Agency

Real people helping real people find homes that actually make sense for their lives

How We Got Here

Look, we didn't start out planning to revolutionize luxury real estate. It just kinda happened when we realized nobody was treating high-end properties with the personal touch they deserved.

2012

The Beginning

Started with just three of us and a dream to do things differently. We were tired of seeing clients get lost in the shuffle at big agencies, so we opened up shop in a tiny office on Robson Street.

2015

Finding Our Niche

Closed our first waterfront estate deal in West Van and realized we'd found our calling. There's something special about matching people with properties that have that wow factor - whether it's mountain views or oceanfront access.

2018

Going International

Word got around, and we started working with buyers from all over the world. Turns out our approach of actually listening and not pushing cookie-cutter solutions resonates across cultures.

2021

Expanding the Vision

Moved into our current Alberni Street location and added property management services. Our clients kept asking us to help them take care of their investments, so we made it happen.

2025

Today & Beyond

We're a team of 18 now, but we haven't lost that personal touch. Every client still gets the white-glove treatment, and we're still obsessed with finding the perfect match between people and properties.

What We Actually Stand For

Not just words on a wall - these are the principles we live by every single day

Genuine Care

We actually care about finding you the right place, not just closing a deal. Your happiness matters more than our commission - sounds cheesy but it's true.

Transparency

No hidden fees, no surprises, no BS. We'll tell you straight up what something's worth and whether it makes sense for you - even if it means we lose a sale.

Excellence

We're kinda obsessed with doing things right. From how we stage properties to how we negotiate deals - we don't cut corners, period.

Community

We live here too. Supporting local businesses, preserving what makes Vancouver special, and building lasting relationships with our neighbors matters to us.

Innovation

Real estate's always evolving, and we're staying ahead of the curve. Virtual tours, market analytics, digital transactions - we use tech to make your life easier.

Long-term Thinking

We're playing the long game here. Building relationships that last decades, not just transactions. Most of our business comes from referrals - that tells you something.

Our Office

Why Clients Stick With Us

Here's the thing - we could throw a bunch of stats at you about how many millions we've sold or how many awards we've won. And yeah, we've got those.

But what really matters? Our clients keep coming back. They bring their friends. Their family. That colleague who just got transferred to Vancouver.

It's because we treat everyone like they're our only client - whether you're buying a $2M condo or a $20M estate. You get the same attention, the same dedication, the same late-night texts when you have questions.

We've helped young couples find their first waterfront property, assisted families in upgrading to mountain estates, and guided international investors through portfolio acquisitions. Each story's different, but they all matter equally to us.
