"Being a woman in business in the Sea-to-Sky community continually challenges me,” says Martha McLellan of Rennie & Associates Realty Ltd. “It raises the bar for professionalism and dedication to service, and allows me to connect with the most amazing people like entrepreneurs and business owners who have achieved great success.”
McLellan and her family have called Squamish home for the past fifteen years. She became a Realtor in Whistler in 2004, then shifted gears to raise her three kids, and work with her husband in their Squamish-based Sales Agency. “I am happy to get back to real estate. I have missed being out in the community, and I love what I do so much.”
Joining Rennie & Associates Realty Ltd. in 2021, McLellan “truly believes that real estate is one of the best investments for Canadians right now. Everyone should have access to a home, and I love that you can use different parts of this investment to grow your own portfolio,” adding that “once you own a home you have other opportunities like credit and equity to do other things.”
While Squamish currently has limited real estate inventory, you’d think the competition between Realtors would be fierce, but McLellan tells us that “at Rennie, it feels like a community, we support each other and share resources amongst our office.” As a female Realtor, she believes that “you earn more respect as you get older, your experience grows, and relationships expand. Where in some other industries women are phased out, I feel like I can age well into this business.”
Working directly with clients is what motivates her, and she says, “making a change in people’s lives and problem-solving is what makes me happy at the end of the day.” First-time buyers feel comfortable with her, and those who have been around the real estate block a few times trust her experience. Rennie & Associates Realty Ltd. has a reputation for supporting their team with advanced technology, project marketing, and those tools benefit their clients.
McLellan is a board member on the Squamish Hospital Foundation, volunteers in the Sea-to-Sky community, and is thinking about “starting an investment club for women, not just about real estate."
