Simon Clayton Personal Real Estate Corporation | 604Realtor | Medallion Club Vancouver

Vancouver is my home, and I love this city like no other place I have ever visited. I was born and raised on the West side of Vancouver in the Southlands neighbourhood. My family owned Willow Stables, and we lived in the house next to the horse barn at 57th and Balaclava St. Currently, I reside in East Vancouver, where my Wife and I own a home in the Main / Fraser Street neighbourhood. We live in an amazing family neighbourhood with our daughter, and we love the community feel.

Growing up on the West Side of Vancouver, I went to Kerrisdale School and then Point Grey High School, where I played on numerous sports teams and really enjoyed my years at both schools, making very close friends I still have today. I am a dual citizen of both Canada and Great Britain. I have spent many months in Scotland and England as I am a first-generation Canadian whose parents still had most of their family members back in the U.K. I have travelled to many places in the world, including most of the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. Among my favourite cities are Edinburgh, London, Brisbane, and New York. In my spare time away from work, I enjoy time with my family in the Gulf Islands and around the City of Vancouver. My hobbies include Golf, Mountain Biking, Snow Shoeing and Hiking. I try to explore different parts of our amazing province by camping and taking road trips. There isn’t a much better way to spend a summer night than at Spanish Banks Beach or in the interior on Shuswap or in Naramata.

In 2024, I am celebrating my 21st successful year in Real Estate, being involved in more than a few hundred transactions on the Buying and Selling ends, totalling over $500,000,000 in sales. I have branched out from my focus on the Westside of Vancouver and become successful in listing and selling homes on the Eastside, Downtown, Richmond, Burnaby, and other Suburbs. I have been awarded by my company for being among the highest sales agents with our company’s “Sales Achievement” award and "Award of Excellence". Consistently, I am among the “Top 10 Agents” in the Kerrisdale office out of approximately 190 selling agents and was “Salesperson of the Month – June 2009” and #1 individual Realtor in 2014 and 2022. I have also earned the Medallion Club award from the Real Estate Board of Vancouver for being among the top 10% of all Realtors in the City of Vancouver.

Testimonials

Simon Clayton Personal Real Estate Corporation

I had the pleasure of working with Simon in Spring 2019 for the purchase of my first home. He was truly excellent to work with. Very professional and highly knowledgeable about the industry and how to represent my best interests through the transaction. If any of my friends or family asked for a recommendation, I would send them to Simon.

Warren Smithies, Vancouver

Simon Clayton is an excellent agent that I recommend for any residential real estate transaction. He operates with integrity and professionalism combined with a great personality. It was easy to communicate with Simon even during my travels away from the city. His patience and ability to understand my specific needs were greatly appreciated. Also, his knowledge of the market and industry proved invaluable. Thanks to Simon, I have found the perfect home in the perfect neighbourhood!

Doris Kraske, Vancouver

I cannot say enough great things about Simon. He worked tirelessly with me to find my new home. We spent many weekends and weeknights going to open houses and showings and he always had great insight and comments about the places we looked at. A great example of how hard he works for you is that I saw a place on my own at 4pm realized I wanted to throw an offer at the place right now ASAP. I called him up and even though he was not directly at his desk he was able to get the paperwork all done in 30 min and submitted the offer. I am so glad my friends recommended him to me as I am finally done my search.

Ryan B., Port Moody

Simon was incredible to work with on both the sale of our property as well as the search and purchase of our new home. He worked hard to secure the sale of our property above asking and on our terms. He gave us great advice while listening to our needs and goals. The entire process was very smooth and Simon was knowledgeable, professional and really great to work with.

Micah Groberman, Richmond

Simon came recommended to me by a mutual friend, and helped my sister and I sell an estate property. This was a tough decision, and we always appreciated Simon’s sincere, laid-back, and professional approach as he helped us through the sometimes stressful and complicated process. When we finally did decide to sell, the condo was on the market for only 6 days. He helped us to prepare by suggesting what kinds of updates were worth investing in, and ensured the timing of the open house lined up well with what was going on with the market at the time.
We were very pleased with his marketing strategy, with the outcome of the sale, and with his extensive knowledge of the nuances of the contract.
It was invaluable to work with someone whom we could trust so much, and who so clearly had our best interests in mind throughout the whole process. Simon obviously loves his work, and is very good at it–I’d recommend him to anyone!
Thanks again Simon!

Camille Murdoch, Vancouver

Simon was amazing through the whole process of selling our long time family home. My dad was so lucky to have him represent him and guide him through everything he could expect, as well as the twists and turns along the way. His many years of experience and professionalism served us all well. Thank you Simon!

He was consistently available and attentive, and always followed through on the commitments he made. We would highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a personable, conscientious realtor.

Mike and Frances Corney, Vancouver

I have dealt with real estate agents in my professional capacity for some 30 years. I have also bought and sold a number of properties personally. Simon is the most professional and knowledgeable agent I have dealt with. I have no reservation in recommending him.

John McLean, Vancouver

When my parents decided to make a change, we knew that they would need a really great realtor to walk us all through the daunting process of selling the house they had been living in for 60 years. We were lucky enough to connect with Simon, who took the time to explain the “why’s” and the “when’s”, and to create a solid strategy that we could all understand and support. The tremendous sale price was largely the result of Simon’s work and planning, and it exceeded all of our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend Simon to anyone as a responsible, approachable and personable realtor.

Sandra M., Vancouver

After nearly 40 years in our old residence, it was decided it was time to move.  As neophytes to this experience we were apprehensive  re:  whom , what company do we solicit?  Simon was recommended and immediately allayed any concerns once we met.  He bravely tolerated our indecision for 2 years of open houses, but we could see that with every rejection  there was a secret  aha “ now I know what they are looking for”.  His thoroughness, his thoughtfulness, and depth of knowledge about everything was always encouraging. His sense of humour made every open house  an adventure in theatre.  Ultimately  the sale was quick, was slick, and met expectations in timing and price.  Simon is highly recommended

Jan & Al Kallas, Vancouver

Simon was our realtor for the purchase of our first condo and more recently for the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new house. His deep knowledge of the real estate market and interpersonal skills were invaluable during our house hunt. Simon took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a home and neighborhood and gave us excellent advice on all stages of the process. We would highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable realtor.

I have used Simon for 3 different transactions, starting with the purchase of my first condo, then the sale of my condo and purchase of our new house.

Bruce Mitchell, Vancouver

Simon has the ability to read a situation & takes the time to understand people and their requirements. He really listened to my “wish list” and found me properties to look at that suited my budget, and in the areas where I wanted to live. His knowledge of the Vancouver Real Estate market is extensive. He was on top of everything, and my advocate at all times. Simon Clayton is of Scottish Heritage and you know the old saying – “If it’s not Scottish it’s Crap” – so why would you choose another realtor?

I highly recommend Simon Clayton to anyone looking for the integrity, confidence and personal connection they deserve, when trading Real Estate in Greater Vancouver.

Kristie Marsden (Realtor), Vancouver

Simon came referred to me by a respected acquaintance with a long track record at Macdonald Realty. On behalf of my employer, I needed to work on a sensitive Foreclosure involving a medical professional working and residing in Asia at the time. I was impressed by Simon’s professional communication and follow up throughout the listing and sale process. I know he cares about his contacts as I witnessed his follow up to ensure satisfaction to both the seller, and the buyer who he did not represent, as well as appraiser and cleaning company to whom he had no formal obligation. Simon comes highly recommend

Simon was referred to me through a mutual client. He very quickly became our “go-to guy” for selling properties in foreclosure. Over the past few years, he has listed (and sold!) multiple foreclosures in the Vancouver area. Every file has been handled in an extremely professional manner, and has received attention to even the smallest details. Simon’s experience, enthusiasm and knowledge have made it a pleasure to deal with him for the last few years – and hopefully for many more to come! I would highly recommend using Simon, and will definitely refer him to my friends, family and co-workers!

Simon was the perfect realtor. He was patient and knowledgeable about all the properties we visited. His advice helped us find the right place and at the right price. When selling our place he explained his strategy, the options, and lets us decide what was best. Highly recommend Simon!

Jensen M 4 reviews a year ago

Simon helped us buy our first property this summer, and he was excellent throughout. We initially didn't think we needed a realtor, but Simon showed us how valuable a good one can be, and we look forward to working with him again. From the beginning he was very easy to communicate with -- via phone, text, email, zoom -- and he was great at meeting us where we were -- understanding our level of knowledge and what we were looking for. His ability to provide sophisticated context helped us make significant life decisions very quickly. We have felt confident
