Experienced New Home Builder
Mike’s interest in real estate started in 1997 when he became a licensed Home Builder at the age of 24 when he bought his first house for $205,000. He has built and sold a number of strata character conversion condominiums and new homes in Victoria and has personally owned and renovated over a dozen properties. In 2002 he purchased and renovated the heritage Rennie and Taylor Apartment building in Fernwood and in 2008 he purchased and renovated the Roxy Theatre on Quadra Street (where he acquired Victoria’s first movie theatre liquor license). Mike has been a landlord and owned multiple rental properties during his real estate career. He is experienced in city permit applications, rezoning, land development and the Board of Variance process.
Certified Home Inspector
Since obtaining his BC Home Inspection license in 2012, Mike has performed over a thousand home inspections in Greater Victoria and saved clients over $550,000 in locating buried underground oil tanks which were not found by other companies. Mike has built solid relationships with a variety of highly respected Realtors due to his professionalism and friendliness. In addition, his experience in building has enabled him to establish relationships with industry professionals such as tradespeople, mortgage brokers, local government officials, lawyers, notaries, and appraisers.
