About Cam

Cam helps buy, sell and rent commercial real estate in Vancouver. From a background in business and advertising, Cam knows how to get the right deal in front of the right people, at the right time.

After over 10 years as a volunteer firefighter and first responder, he’s the kind of person you’d want on your side just in case a deal ever starts to feel like it’s on fire. He’s travelled around the world to over 50 countries, spends his energy learning about the business behind every transaction, and always aims for extraordinary results.

Sometimes it’s what you know, sometimes it’s who you know, but every time it’s good to know Cam.

How it started

I’ve loved business for as long as I can remember. As a kid I had a lemonade stand, except mine went door to door. It was handier for my customers, and it was a much bigger market.

Not long after, I was selling website development, and some of those clients have trusted me with their work for over a decade.

How I like to work

I’d rather do excellent work for a few clients than average work for a lot of them, so you’ll deal with me from the first call to the keys. I pick up the phone and I follow through.

I like learning how a business works before I talk about the space it’s in. I want the lease to fit how your business actually runs.

Old-fashioned customer service

Remember when you called a business, a person picked up, and they did what they said they’d do? That’s the service I want you to get from me.

• Full attention. When you’re working with me, your file gets my focus from start to finish, and you deal with me directly the whole way.
• Good energy on every step. The first tour gets the same care as the fourth round of lease comments. The small steps are where deals go sideways, so I don’t coast through them.
• Trust. I tell you the truth about your deal, even when it isn’t what you hoped to hear. If I say I’ll do something, I do it. I pick up when you call, and if I miss you, I call back as soon as I can.
• Showing up in person. I can walk the space with you, meet at your shop or office, or grab a coffee downtown. Some things you only learn by standing in the room.
• Modern tools where they save you time. I’ve been building websites and marketing since I was young, so I use the tools that make things faster: the lease calculators on this site, documents you can read on your phone, and photos or video of a space when you can’t make the tour.

Before real estate

• Advertising and communications since 2010, including almost a decade owning an advertising company, doing advertising, branding and signage for over a thousand clients across BC, many of them in real estate.
• Marketing for business sales. For a while I produced the marketing packages for business and commercial property sales at a firm that sells businesses.
• Over 10 years as a volunteer firefighter, first responder and fire instructor (Fire Instructor 1, Justice Institute of BC).
• Field work with remote communities. In 2019 I worked with a team travelling to remote Nuu-chah-nulth communities on Vancouver Island, mapping infrastructure on foot for a housing and infrastructure assessment.
• Over 50 countries travelled, across Asia, Europe and the Americas. Handy in a city like Vancouver, where half the people you meet are from somewhere else.
