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.
Beautifully updated family home, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Departure Bay. This well-maintained split-entry home features a bright, open-concept kitchen with a massive quartz-topped island with a built-in bar fridge. It flows into the family room with a cozy gas fireplace, the adjacent dining area opens onto a large deck overlooking the flat, fenced backyard. Down the hall, you'll find a renovated four-piece bathroom and three generously sized bedrooms, including the primary bedroom. The lower level offers a large living room with built-in storage and a second gas fireplace. Also downstairs are a den that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, a four-piece bathroom, and laundry room. Outside, the property features a carport, plenty of parking, and a workshop located beneath the deck. Great location close to schools, parks, shopping, and Departure Bay Beach.
