BC's mobile home park specialist.
I help investors find and buy parks across BC, and help owners sell theirs.
Buying a park
I bring you parks that fit, listed or not. Once you are under contract, I can stickhandle the due diligence and see the deal through to closing.
Selling a park
The process matters when you sell a park. I work with a lot of buyers, so I know what they look for and how to prep and market a park properly before it goes out.
Parks for sale
My listing is first. The others are shared in collaboration with Bill Summers Personal Real Estate Corporation of Coldwell Banker Executives Realty.
A 76-site park on the Chilliwack River, 15 minutes from Cultus Lake. The original developer built it in 1976 and is selling it for the first time.
Tell me what you want to buy
Many BC parks change hands without a public listing. Fill this in and I will send back the parks that fit, including ones that are not listed.

How I work with buyers
Most of the work happens before an offer. Time spent up front tracking and analyzing parks is what lets you move quickly on the good ones. Once you are under contract, I get very hands on through due diligence.
First call
We go over the market and your goals, so you know what to expect and can make informed decisions when the time is right.
Track and analyze
I track parks as they come up, listed or not, and add my analysis of each one to your deal room.
Offer and negotiation
When a good one shows up, you are ready to move. I help you put the offer together and negotiate the terms.
Due diligence
This is where I get very hands on. I can take on as much of it as you want, from the site visit to the last report.
Closing
I stay on it with you and your lawyer until the deal closes.
Getting you through due diligence
On a park, the problems that change the price tend to show up after the offer is signed. I know where to look, and I can take on as much of the legwork as you want.
The reports still come from the right professionals. I help line them up and tell you what each one means for the deal.
On an acquisition in BC's interior, the buyer left the whole due diligence process to me. I drove out to meet the caretaker and worked through the city's questions myself. The deal went firm, deposit in, before we had met in person.
About me
I got into real estate at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, working with a local investment group. I was licensed in 2017 and started in residential before moving into commercial investment sales full time. Along the way I earned the Diploma in Urban Land Economics at UBC Sauder, and I am a CCIM candidate.
I'd call myself a pretty simple guy, which is probably why mobile home parks clicked for me. I found that of all the commercial asset classes, mobile home parks are the only ones following the primary investment principle: cash flow is king. Cap rates are reasonable, liability is limited for the right parks and operations are quite straightforward. Now they are all I focus on.
I love the acquisition process and getting into the details of a deal. That helps on the selling side too, because I know how a buyer is going to look at your park.
