Vernon is pleased to welcome Brodie Tulluch to our team of professionals.

Hi. I’m Brodie Tulloch, how can I help you?

GST PAID on this 0.48 acre west facing lot with lake and valley views. Build your dream home in this quiet cul-de-sac location near the hub of Predator Ridge Golf Resort. Room for a pool!

There is no place on earth quite like the Okanagan Valley, owning property here is one of the greatest opportunities in life. I love this area and once I show you around, I’m convinced you’ll love it and want to plant roots of your own here. Vernon is a great community, one I've had the privilege to be a part of all my life and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I’ve spent the past several years constructing and renovating homes through out the Valley and use my extra time to get involved with local lake conservation projects. During college I had the opportunity to study business. Marketing and tourism were my favourite subjects to study. Real estate is my true passion and although I've only recently made the leap to the Fowler Team it’s been the best decision of my life. I’ve enjoyed just about every sport offered here in Vernon and I consider myself to be an adventure seeker. During the winter months I enjoy skiing and snowshoeing in the mountains, summer time I like to tour around on my motorcycle and boat on the many lakes the area is known best for. I enjoy creating relationships with my clients and being their trusted advisor. Buying or selling a home can be stressful, I pride myself on creating as smooth of an experience as possible. I’d like to earn your business, so call me today, I’ll work extra hard to make sure your real estate transaction is a complete success.
