Vanak International Properties

What Vanak International Properties does

Vanak International Properties (doing business as Vanak Properties and Vanak Realty) is a privately held real estate brokerage founded in 2007 and headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The firm operates as a full-service residential and commercial real estate brokerage serving the Greater Vancouver region, including North Vancouver, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam, the Fraser Valley, and Chilliwack markets. It is led by founder Moe Moghadasian, who serves as Owner and Managing Broker, alongside Sepideh Mahdavi as Vice President of Sales, and runs with a headcount estimated between 11 and 50 employees.

The company's core offerings span three integrated service lines: (1) residential and commercial property listings and search tools, (2) property management services for owners, and (3) advisory services including buyer's and seller's guides, home evaluation, a mortgage calculator, market reports, and VIP exclusive listings. Its technology stack is built on the myRealPage real estate website platform, which provides listing management and integrated MLS Reciprocity data feeds from the Greater Vancouver REALTORS (GVR), Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), and Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB). The platform exposes residential, commercial, and geographic map-based search experiences on vanakproperties.com.

Vanak generates revenue primarily through percentage-based commissions on residential and commercial property transactions (transaction fees) and through recurring professional service fees for property management. Customer acquisition is sales-led via direct agent-to-client relationships, supplemented by a content marketing presence (blog, buyer's/seller's guides), client testimonials, and MLS-driven inbound traffic. Target customers are individual SMB buyers, sellers, and investors — particularly first-time homebuyers — rather than enterprise accounts. The company has no disclosed headcount growth, funding history, or revenue figures in the input data, and operates without identified institutional ownership or parent company.
