Gerry is obsessed with Nanaimo and the surrounding islands, especially their history and future development. He watches for every development application submitted to the City and posts updates to his website. He reads every historical publication and updates his own digital maps to show defunct streets and railways, old mine entrances, geological curiosities, and underground streams.
Clients appreciate Gerry’s professionalism and honesty, as well as his attention to detail. He actively limits his business to about 21 transactions per year, which means he is busy enough to stay current but still has time to handle your file with the level of urgency required by the current market.
When he’s not helping clients, Gerry can be found outdoors, or spending time with his wife and family.
That's right – it really is just $675k for this updated DETACHED house in a sheltered hilltop location with views, in a high-end strata neighbourhood. The catch? The strata faces some maintenance items and everyone decided it's better to fund them slowly each month with higher strata fees instead of all at once with levies. So the price on this property is LOW to subsidize the buyer's monthly fees moving forward. And WHAT a property it is, high above Departure Bay in the desirable, tidy Edgewood community. Most units share walls and have no yards, but this home is detached w/ a large private YARD and it has BIG VIEWS to the north and south. Downstairs, a guestroom & 4-pc bath, den/family room, & covered patio. Upstairs bedroom has walk-in closet and big 5-pc ensuite; bright living area w/ gas fireplace, kitchen overlooking Linley Valley. The building envelope is strata, and your water/sewer costs are covered along w/ building insurance. 55+ but a spouse can be younger; 2 cats/dogs ok*More details
This is one of those VERY SPECIAL waterfront properties that rarely appear on market. A fine arbutus grove stands over a calm white-shell beach; sandstone ridges shelter the homestead then plunge into the sea, forming a private cove and swimming opportunities. This part of Ruxton is quiet and less populated, and with calmer waters too - especially here in Whaleboat Passage across from the provincial marine park and bird sanctuary. The best site on Lot 8 is where the old cabin sits currently; a new home could enjoy 250° ocean views and a walk-out onto the ridge overlooking the property and Valdes Island. The insulated 2023 timber-frame bunkie was built to a high standard. A 3000-gal cistern catches rain and another stands ready. Arriving by boat is easy with over 500 feet of waterfront and three custom mooring buoys in deeper water (4000 lb blocks with 3/4" chain running through PVC). This property is worth a visit in any weather or any tide. It could be in your family for generations.More details
This nearly one-acre, treed rural lot offers a serene panorama of lush grassland and forest. Located on a historic, quiet country road in Cedar, this property is just steps from the ocean and Boat Harbour marina. The site is level to the road with room to build among the moss and arbutus, then the grade drops a little before sloping toward an expansive open space bordering Greenway Lake, framed by a scenic forest backdrop. Among the trees are some charming rock terraces and a stone staircase, and a private platform—ideal for a gazebo, deck, or temporary setup while you plan your dream home. Off to the side, a nook with three shipping containers for your storage, accessible by the existing driveway. The marina and ocean are only 500m away; Hemer Park trails just 3 minutes by car, groceries in just 7 minutes. This is one of those special rural neighbourhoods by the ocean, a good place for a legacy property.More details
Protection Island building lot, 9000 sqft in the forest, with undeveloped parkland behind. Tucked into a quiet little cul-de-sac with nice homes, this lot is quite level with a gentle rise at the back. There's a BC Hydro power pole at the front corner, and City of Nanaimo water and sewer services at the other. Mature second-growth fir & cedar trees provide shade and a woodsy aesthetic. As for location, this is just a 660m walk from the hourly passenger ferry or 700m from the boat ramp, or 515m from the community dock. Protection Island has a quiet Gulf Island vibe with seabird sounds and lots of beaches, but it's only 1.2km from downtown Nanaimo, across the protected harbour. Wouldn't you like to be on the water more often? (Protection Island is exempted from the BC Speculation Tax. All lot lines indicated are approximations. Lot dimensions are about 75' wide x 120'.)More details
Two separate homes on one flat, rectangular lot, with a fence between so neither side feels like a compromise. The main house was built in 2016 and has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Behind it, the 2020 carriage house offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, vaulted ceilings, in-floor heating, on demand hot water, and its own garage. It is reached from the alley, so the two homes share no driveway, no entry and no yard. Use the carriage house for extended family or rent it out for some additional income. The flat rectangular lot keeps the yard usable corner to corner and the alley keeps the front curb clean. University Village is minutes away for groceries and coffee, Vancouver Island University is close by, and downtown Nanaimo, the hospital, and the ferries are a short drive. Enjoy main level living in both homes. The carriage house is vacant and ready for use. Book your tour today. All measurements approximate, verify if important.More details
