I became a licensed realtor in 1988 and I have enjoyed an active and successful career. Prior to this, I was eager for more education and completed studies in Business Administration Management, then Business Administration Marketing and also the Real Estate Studies Program at B.C.I.T. I carried on achieving my Urban Land Economics at U.B.C. Thus, preparing me for an outstanding real estate career.
Early on, in 1996, I completed the Agent’s Course allowing me to manage my own real estate office and the Associate Broker designation. In 2016, I completed the coveted CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) Accreditation which less than 1% of Commercial Brokers hold in North America. To even write the final for this designation, you need 20 Million is sales within a limited time.
For 2 years in the early 90's when the market was in a challenging position, besides selling real estate, I was the Vice-President, and I managed the Coldwell Banker Real Estate Auction Company where I sold millions of dollars of condominium development properties. I brought 9 developments to the market within 2 years. The experience was tremendous, but I also made both the developers and the buyers very happy in those tough years.
I wrote and teach two commercial real estate classes for the real estate agents in BC. The first being: Strata Wind-Up and Termination and Land Development and Assembly. Both are incredibly popular and well received.
In all my years in Real Estate I have taken the direct approach to selling. I have found the truth works much better than any other sales technique taught to me. My clients appreciate my candor and straight forward approach, and this has offered me a long career in repeat and referral clients. This is how I came upon the phrase “Your Friend in the Business.” I look forward to meeting you soon
