Bruce Findlay

Eventually the west called my name again, and I ventured towards it, stopping in Calgary, Alberta for a few years. After securing a job as a marketing assistant in an investment real estate company, I moved to the acquisitions deaprtment a year later and learned my "trade" - sourcing, underwriting, analysing and purchasing multi-family real estate properties, to be converted to condominiums and re-sold as investment real estate. It was an exciting young company to work at, and most of my analytical skilset comes from that company's property purchasing.

​

In 2001, the draw to return to Vancouver Island was too strong, so I left my comfy job in Calgary and became a self-employed real estate consultant. After purchasing my own property with some friends in 2002, I started a new company with a partner in 2005 to purchase properties to be stratified and re-sold, similar to what I did in Calgary, but for our own account. I continue to do that today, although we now hold some properties for long-term growth, along with my pub on the ocean in Maple Bay. Since 1995 I've made good money and I've lost good money, learning the majority of my real estate education from those losses. I definitely know what NOT to do when buying properties, and it is that sort of experience that allows me to provide you with the advice you need to avoid the pitfalls that befell me. I look forward to working with you, either on an individual basis or over a life time!
