Don has been with Cushman & Wakefield (previously Royal LePage) since 1987 and is consistently recognized as one of the top investment sales brokers in the company. With 34 years of experience, thousands of suites and home sites sold in hundreds of properties throughout British Columbia, his connections and contacts reach far and wide.

Don has been involved in relatively straight forward 6 suite transactions to a complex multi building portfolio of over 1,000 suites in 13 buildings. This transaction attracted 65 offers and resulted in 9 separate buyer groups for a total value of over $260M. He is extremely well regarded by his clients and peers for his experience, work ethic and easygoing, kind approach to all the people that he meets throughout a transaction.

Don has lived with his wife on Bowen Island for many years and commutes to downtown Vancouver on a daily basis. He is a founding member of the Bowen Island Golf Club and serves on the board of the water district in which he lives. Weekend projects seem endless as he changes from his suit to his plaid jacket and work boots to enjoy cutting lumber with his portable saw mill on his property. He is also an avid boater and member of Thunderbird Yacht Club.
