For the past four years he has been a director on the Vancouver Real Estate Board and in that capacity he has supported initiatives to improve ethics, education and cooperation between members and the MLS system.

Originally from Wales, emigrated to BC with his parents in 1981.  He met his wife in 1986 and has been married since 1990.  They moved to the Sunshine Coast in 1991 and are raising their 3 children.  Laurence has been a realtor since 1999 and has achieved Master Medallion status, which recognizes the top 10% of realtors of the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board.  Laurence brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to every relationship, not only as a home owner, but having designed and constructed his own homes.  He never under estimates the importance of each individual sale or purchase, no matter the size. The people Laurence works with are continued, loyal clients and as soon as you meet him, you'll understand what keeps them coming back.

Having a real estate agent whose genuine love and respect for her community means having an agent who will bring an element of "going the extra mile" to her clients' transactions.  Eryn's family moved to Gibsons from Northern Ontario in 1979 and have never looked back!  Being raised here has given her a strong sense of community and love for her hometown.  Eryn's mother Vene Parnell was a successful Realtor on the Coast for over 11 years before retiring.  After receiving a BA from UBC and living abroad for 3 years Eryn returned to the Coast in 2001 and entered the Real Estate Industry - following in her mother's footsteps.  Eryn has been selling real estate for 6 years now and has built a solid reputation as an honest, hardworking and knowledgable agent.

Ramping down from a long career in the arts, wife Marjorie and I left Vancouver in 2006 planning to enjoy our golden years in the country.   We bought a fine home near Secret Cove and became immediately obsessed with the joy of coastal living.  That which started off as a mere daily pleasure, quickly burgeoned into a torrid love affair with these fifty miles of  God’s country that we call the Sunshine Coast.  I love this land; I love interaction with people; I love the fine things in life; I love to sell.  How better to apply these passions in one vital pursuit than by becoming a salesman in Sunshine Coast properties?  It is with abundant pleasure that I enlist with kindred spirits at Sutton Group, a crew  dedicated to ‘coastal navigation’—ensuring safe passage for all people through the shoal waters of property transactions.
