About
My proudest accomplishment with regard to Gabriola Island, is my family's donation of the 707 Acre Park. This monumental task has taken many years and much work and sacrifice yet very much reflects our deep concerns for the environment, water recharge, wildlife and healthy outdoor space for Gabriolans and their friends. My style of service is more 'boutique' as opposed to volume. Drawing from my broad range of 40 year exposure in the the industry, including First Nations consultation, land assemblies, development in 9 areas of the Province, and Trading Services in many locations thus; http://beautifulbcproperties.com Having several working environments, I have a hybird approach to business using tech intentionally and deliberately while my main preferred modes of communication are face-to-face or the good old telephone. I am looking forward to hearing from you even if you are not in the buying or selling phase but just want to discuss possibilities and options. Let us chat and explore, I love long term thinking.
