This Week in John's Life
Industrial Wins & Waterfront Dreams
On the business side, we’ve been incredibly productive. We officially introduced two new properties to the market—a charming character home on Stewart Ave (link here) and a fantastic suited home in South Nanaimo (link here). I’m also currently working with clients on two exclusive North Nanaimo waterfront opportunities that are truly special. On the commercial front, the team and I have been moving quickly, successfully selling two Parksville warehouses with an accepted offer already on a third. Keep an eye out next week as I’ll be unveiling a new downtown condo listing that is going to be a must-see.
From the Cage to the City
Last Thursday night, I stepped into a different kind of "office." I was at the Harbour Convention Centre in Vancouver refereeing BFL 86 (link here), officiating 12 pro MMA fights in front of an electric, sold-out crowd. It was an incredible night of competition broadcast live on UFC Fight Pass.
The best part, however, was having Avery and June join me on Friday and Saturday. We spent the weekend soaking in the Vancouver city vibes together—it was the perfect way to recharge after a high-stakes week.
A Note on Puerto Vallarta
On a more somber note, my heart is heavy for our friends in Puerto Vallarta. Having just spent a month there recently, it is incredibly difficult to see the devastation and unrest currently unfolding in a place that has been so welcoming to me. My thoughts and prayers are with the local community as they navigate this difficult time.
