About Hope.

Hope s a small town at the far east of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia. Hope is well-known as the gateway to British Columbia’s interior, and serves as the junction of four major highways. Outside of the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and Whistler areas, going anywhere in British Columbia by road requires travelling through Hope. Locals like to say that the rest of British Columbia is “Beyond Hope”.

While it might be easy to dismiss this small town as just a place to gas up and grab a Timmy’s coffee, Hope is justifiably popular as a four-season travel destination. Nestled among mighty peaks, at the confluence of three rivers, Hope is an excellent base for exploring some of the best scenery Canada has to offer. The Hope area offers outdoor recreational opportunities from hiking, downhill and cross-country skiing, fishing, and hunting, to all types of sports in and on the water.

The town of Hope is small, and can be crossed on foot or by bicycle. There are two distinct commercial areas.

Downtown Hope centred on Wallace Street is laid out on a grid that includes numbered streets crossing Wallace St. Downtown fronts on the Trans-Canada Highway (as Water Street) separating it from the Fraser River. Downtown includes city hall beside a lovely central park, a grocery store, lots of places to eat, several motels around the northern fringes. There is an Envision Credit Union with an ATM on the north side of downtown. The Hope Visitor Centre is located at the southwest corner of downtown on Water Street just before it funnels traffic onto highways out of town.

The Old Hope-Princeton Way, found south of downtown and across the railway tracks, hosts most of the gas stations and fast food joints. A Save-On Foods grocery store, RCMP station, and many motels are strung along the old highway route.

Get to know me.

Having grown up in a real estate family, my childhood evenings were spent logging on with my mother’s TREBnet access and perusing the million dollar homes in Toronto. These were the good old days with one family computer and dial-up internet, so my hobby didn’t prevent anyone from calling our house line!

Later on, I went onto the University of Western Ontario and graduated with a degree in Urban Development and Geography. I knew I needed a career involving a mix of business and social and so I obtained my real estate license in 2011 and never looked back.

Over the past 11 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a great team on the North Shore, selling $100 million of real estate consistently each year, on top of assisting in the operations of a small boutique brokerage, VPG Realty Inc, as their assistant Managing Broker.

Last year, I helped bring to market and launch another boutique brokerage in West Vancouver, taking it from an idea, as their Managing Broker. Now moving forward, my focus is solely on putting my expertise to work in marketing and selling single family homes of any size and type.

Thank you for the opportunity and I look forward to assisting you in your real estate goals.
