Alex Penner PREC* is a long-time Nanaimo local, having moved to the Departure Bay area over 36 years ago. He began his sales career in 2007 at a local Cadillac dealership, where his natural talent for sales quickly became apparent. In 2011, Alex transitioned into real estate, where his modern, progressive style was a perfect match. He became the second agent and an early shareholder at 460 Realty Inc., helping shape the company in its early days.
Since then, Alex has built a strong reputation in the industry, with extensive experience in home renovations, new construction, and hundreds of successful property sales. His in-depth local knowledge and hands-on approach have made him a consistent presence in the Nanaimo real estate market.
When he's not working with clients, Alex enjoys spending time with his wife and two young daughters, exploring all the incredible amenities Vancouver Island has to offer.
