Tom Gradecak

Broker Owner / REALTOR®
The Gradecak Group 604.351.3750  tom@westsiderealty.ca

Tom Gradecak is a highly respected and popular real estate agent in the Vancouver market. He is known for his straightforward approach – “I tell it like it is” – and for his honesty, reliability and success.  Tom has been selling real estate on the Westside since 1991, consistently winning awards for his achievements.

In the last sixteen years, he has achieved President’s Club designation, representing the Top 1% of all Greater Vancouver’s REALTORS®.  As well, for the past 27 years, he has achieved the Medallion Club Life Member designation, representing the Top 10% of the Greater Vancouver’s REALTORS®.

In February 2009, just over 14 years ago, Tom opened the doors to his own company, WESTSIDE Tom Gradecak Realty. “ By opening a 2,400 square foot store front office, our team of professionals are able to work in an environment that enables them to succeed and to give our clientele the best possible service and easy access to our resources.”

His boutique firm, located in the heart of Point Grey, provides a warm and inviting office atmosphere where clients can feel comfortable and focus on their real estate needs.  One of the reasons Tom believes his agency stands out from the competitors is his intimate knowledge of the Vancouver Westside market and his deep-seated roots in the community.  From his student days at UBC to his storied career selling homes and raising his own family here, he lives, breathes, works and plays on the West Side.  “This area has so much to offer: good schools; beautiful parks; proximity to the beach; great shopping and restaurants.”

“I really try to put myself in people’s shoes when helping them buy or sell their homes.  They really appreciate my no–pressure approach.”   This compassion for his clients has resulted in 90% of his business being generated from referrals and repeat clients.

In addition to serving individuals and families on the West Side, Tom also works with a number of builders and developers shaping the future of the community.  He also gives back by supporting organizations such as the United Way, Make-A-Wish Foundation; and The Children’s Miracle Network.

“I’ve never considered being a REALTOR® as a job, rather it’s been an opportunity to meet some great people, make new friends, and help them make the best decision possible.
