John has a long history of building wealth using real estate as the vehicle. In fact, he bought his first investment property while still in his second year of university. By the time he completed his Bachelor of Management degree he had acquired other investment properties and successfully completed his first condo conversion project—a 12 suite building in Edmonton. John has successfully overseen numerous successful real estate investment projects for clients and investors in addition to managing his own personal portfolio, and has transacted hundreds of investment deals. Clients range from individuals and families directly investing in single family residential properties or cash equity partnerships, to mid-sized private multi-family and commercial investors, to large institutional clients like REITs and Pension Funds.
John believes that by helping others achieve their financial goals, he also achieves his financial goals. His clients appreciate his realistic approach to real estate, meticulous diligence and analysis, professional accountability, track record, and friendliness.

Connect with Jan here:
Jan has a diverse background of successful entrepreneurial experience. Starting his career in the international pulp and paper brokerage business, he was also acquiring multiple commercial and residential investment properties in San Francisco, CA. It was this common ground that encouraged Jan to partner with John in 2001 to form CWC Properties. Jan transitioned his primary business focus to managing vacation rental properties in San Francisco in 2006 and it was this natural fit that lead to our expansion into the Victoria market.
