Local realtor Jeevan Gill has lived in Squamish since she was four months old.
In that time, she’s seen the town’s reputation go from being known primarily as a logging town to a growing and desirable place to live, especially for young families.
“I don’t think people really appreciated Squamish for everything it has to offer, but now people have definitely taken notice,” Gill says.
“Squamish is the best of both worlds. It has a small-town neighbourhood feel but you’re close to the city as well.”
Gill has worked as a realtor for the past six years, a natural extension of the real estate investment she was already doing.
Gill and her husband first started investing in real estate when they were newlyweds. They bought a townhouse and then sold it. Next, they bought a home and renovated it. Then they moved on to building homes.
Based on that experience, people started coming to Gill for her opinion on real estate matters.
“People really valued our advice, especially being in construction,” Gill says.
“I felt like I had a lot to offer in terms of my personal experiences and investments.”
While becoming a realtor was something Gill always wanted to pursue, it was complicated finding the time while her children were younger.
“One day, I just decided I was going to do it,” Gill says. “What I like the most is helping people.”
While realty may seem glamorous on television, the reality is that every day Gill helps people make the biggest decisions of their lives.
“Getting families, couples and investors into that next step is something that I’m really grateful for,” Gill says.
One of the biggest demographics Gill has seen moving to Squamish are young families and couples who plan to have children. The natural beauty and access to outdoor activities, as well as the close proximity to both downtown Vancouver and Whistler make it an ideal location.
“Living in Squamish is a no-brainer. It’s just so beautiful,” Gill says.
