Well. It’s happening. It’s here.

🚨 OPEN HOUSE – 4855 MAJOR ROAD
📍 Cordova Bay Waterfront Estate Like No Other

📅 Sunday, May 4th
⏰ 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
🪐 May the Fourth Be With You

⸻

This isn’t your average open house. The views are so good, they’d make Darth Vader cancel the Death Star project and start a meditation podcast. Seriously—this place could bring balance to the Force and your blood pressure.

You’re standing on a half acre of rare highbank oceanfront in one of Vancouver Island’s most prestigious locations. And yet, somehow… it’s still just minutes to town. It’s like hyperspace, but with better parking.

Here’s the transmission:
• Main House: ~3,200 sq.ft. West Coast rancher with 3 beds, 2.5 baths, and an expansive lofted den with private deck
• Primary Suite: Dual ensuite bathrooms—yes, two full ensuites. One for the soak. One for the lightsaber polish.
• Kitchen: Maple cabinetry, granite counters, dual ovens… Yoda would cook here.
• Living Space: Vaulted ceilings, gas fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic Cordova Bay and Gulf Island vistas
• Guest Cottage: Nearly 1,100 sq.ft. of architectural art by Hank Schubart, protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright—lofted bed, vaulted ceilings, and Jedi-worthy serenity
• Gate House: Fully equipped 287 sq.ft. with a full bath—ideal for a home office, creative cave, or secret Rebel base
• Extras: Yoga hut at the water’s edge, irrigated gardens, greenhouse, fire pit, and stairs to the shore. Bonus: a real sandbar at low tide—no Force tricks required.

⸻

I’ll be on-site—Star Wars geek mode fully operational—to answer your burning questions, decode the layout, and deliver the facts like an X-wing on trench run.
My amazing colleagues will guide you through the property, Jedi-style, while you take it all in at your own pace.

⸻

Come for the Property. Enjoy the Beach. Stay for the Star Wars Jokes.
If you drop a quote from Empire, I’ll probably high-five you. Or roar like a Wookiee.

💼 Always be learning! In a universe that is flooded for information but starving for knowledge, I’m grateful for our team meetings at

One of the things I truly appreciate about our Engel & Völkers sales meetings is how they go beyond just industry updates. Every couple of weeks, we get the chance to sit down with some of our most trusted legal and lending advisors, diving into the latest market insights and best practices. Shoutout to our Managing Broker and VP of Operations, Margetts, for leading the charge and keeping us on our toes with valuable internal updates.

But what really stands out? The people.

It’s incredible to be part of a team where collaboration is the norm and sharing insights is second nature. Whether it’s discussing strategies, swapping stories, or just catching up over coffee, these meetings remind me how lucky I am to work alongside such a talented and supportive group of colleagues.

📍Now Sold! (Pending Completion)
1400 Newport Ave, Suite #203
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every sale has a story, and this one was particularly special. My client, who affectionately referred to herself as my “unofficial mum,” made the process a joy—keeping my sweet tooth in check with healthy snacks while we worked closely to prepare her home for sale.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her trust in me, and the process, was unwavering, even as we faced the challenge of meeting tight logistical timelines to ensure her goals were met before year-end.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This sale was hands-on in every sense of the word. From cleaning to staging to producing all media within a week, it required that extra sweat equity to showcase her home at its absolute best.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The result? Multiple showings, and an offer within the first 5 hours on the market.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reflecting on this journey, I’m reminded how much commitment, courage, and collaboration mean in real estate. This year at Engel & Völkers has been one of growth, and restoring confidence in my approach has paid dividends—not just for me, but for the wonderful clients I have the privilege to serve.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A special shoutout to Nat Thorp at RLP Coast Capital for being an incredible cooperating agent. It’s a reminder that real estate is about collaboration, not competition, and together we make the process seamless for our clients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to everyone who trusted me with their journey this year. Here’s to more milestones ahead! 🏡✨

✨ Just Moved In!!! ✨

Celebrating a huge milestone today as my longtime friend and first-time homebuyer just secured his first home at Dockside Green! (That's a Condo Project by Bosa in Vic West, for those who don't know.)

We searched high and low, from Sidney to the Songhees, but something about Vic West—and especially the Dockside Project—felt like it was meant to be.
It's not often that a REALTOR® finds themselves wanting to move in too...but Dockside Green? Wow.

This place is something special, and I could totally see myself calling it home someday. The common lounge alone is where I'd likely find myself editing photos on my laptop to a fresh glass of gin. 🛶🚲🌿

To my friend, thank you for trusting me with such an important moment in your life! It’s always SUCH an honor to guide folks through this journey, and I couldn’t be more proud of where we ended up!!

Welcome to your new home, and cheers to the first of many beautiful chapters ahead! Can't wait to hear the first album you'll be playing off the Hi-Fi system.

🎉 4100 Larchwood Drive has now found new Owners! In other words, it is SOLD! 🎉

🏡 Truly a special & sentimental transaction for myself, as this was the first at my new brokerage since making the move to greener pastures.

💼 When I find something I love, or love doing, it's hard to deny that I am truly passionate about it; in my professional role as a real estate advisor, it's moments like these that remind me why I love my job. Thank you to everyone involved: my friends & clients of 25 years, my new family at , and of course .re from the whom represented the purchasers -- it was a pleasure to work with you, dude! Thank you to everyone involved, and here's to many new memories at Larchwood!

New mugshot. Sorry, headshot.

Thank you for ensuring I appear passable as human on camera for the internet to see.

If you look closely you can see how many years I’ve been in the business by the lines on my forehead; like the rings of a tree, I say.

Here’s to another 7 years of using the same headshot.

Sold! Congratulations to my Sellers on finding a buyer for their home in December! Wrapping up the year with this was a great accomplishment and felt amazing to bring the deal together for my very patient and encouraging client who supported me all the way to the finish line.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're thinking of making a move this year, give me a shout! With everything going on, chatting to an experienced REALTOR® could be the best decision you've made yet.
