Sven Graaten, REALTOR®
Speaks: English
Born and raised in Oceanside, Sven Graaten offers more than local knowledge-he brings a lifelong connection to the community. He grew up on a hobby farm in Coombs, where his family founded the iconic Old Country Market in the 1970s before moving on to build a successful distribution business. Surrounded by innovation and entrepreneurship from an early age, Sven developed a creative, solutions-focused mindset that now informs his approach to real estate.
Sven's passion for real estate began in 2016 when he and his husband bought their first home. Since then, they've navigated multiple moves and investment purchases in the oceanside area, gaining invaluable insight from a client's point of view. This personal experience fuels his commitment to helping others find the right home or make the most of their sale.
Before becoming a REALTOR®, Sven enjoyed a 17-year career as a top hairstylist, where he built a loyal following through trust, attention to detail, and the ability to turn a vision into reality. Known for his honesty, integrity, and direct communication, he believes in giving clients the information they need-not sales pressure-so they can make confident, informed decisions.
Outside of real estate, Sven is a passionate runner who has completed two marathons, an outdoor enthusiast who finds joy in skiing, gardening, and hiking, and an avid traveler with a love for discovering new cultures and spaces. He also has a keen eye for interior design, often blending creativity and function to re-imagine living environments-an asset that benefits his clients in both buying and selling.
Sven brings warmth, creativity, and an open-minded perspective to every real estate journey. Whether you're a first-time buyer, investor, or searching for your forever home, he's committed to helping you succeed with care, clarity, and confidence.
