Meet The Team

Greg Laba

Since moving to the North Shore in 1984, I have proudly built my real estate career with Sussex Realty, now Royal LePage Sussex, where I continue to serve clients with integrity, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the local market.

I am highly respected by fellow REALTORS® for my long-standing commitment to ethical business practices, client advocacy, and trusted real estate advice. Over the past several decades, I have worked closely with multinational companies establishing headquarters in the Lower Mainland, successfully assisting dozens of employees with corporate and personal relocations to Vancouver and the North Shore.

This extensive relocation experience has given me a multicultural perspective, strong negotiation skills, and a proven track record of successfully closing complex transactions. I bring a strategic, thoughtful approach to every client relationship—whether working with first-time buyers, relocating professionals, or long-time homeowners.

Drawn to the North Shore for its diversity, natural beauty, and unique balance of outdoor recreation and urban accessibility, I am deeply connected to the community I serve. I currently live in Edgemont Village with my wife, a community health nurse. We raised our daughter here and continue to enjoy living, working, and exploring everything the North Shore and Greater Vancouver have to offer.

I joined Greg Laba’s real estate business in 2021, bringing together my long-standing passion for real estate with a strong background in marketing, storytelling, and content creation. Prior to joining the team, I spent several years working in real estate marketing on the North Shore, helping brands connect authentically with their audiences.

I have over a decade of experience in marketing and communications, creating content for lifestyle magazines, small businesses, and large corporations seeking meaningful engagement with their clients. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and a Master’s degree in Creative Writing from The New School University in New York City, where I refined my ability to tell compelling, human-centered stories.

Since moving to Vancouver in 2014, I have worked closely with North Shore small business owners, helping them grow and succeed through strategic storytelling, social media marketing, and digital strategy. My expertise in marketing and technology, combined with Greg’s extensive experience in the North Vancouver and Greater Vancouver real estate markets, allows us to create custom, multi-dimensional marketing strategies tailored to each client. Together, we help buyers and sellers stand out and succeed in one of the most dynamic and competitive real estate markets in the world.

I live in Norgate with my husband, our eight-year-old son, and two cats. Our son is quickly becoming a true North Shore kid, as we spend our weekends mountain biking, kayaking in the summer, and skiing in the winter. I am deeply grateful to call the North Shore home and continue to be inspired by its natural beauty, active lifestyle, and close-knit community.
