If you’re new here, let me introduce myself - I’m Toly, a local realtor who loves Vancouver 🏙️, great coffee ☕, all dogs 🐶, and helping people navigate the real estate world without the stress. On this account, you’ll find a mix of helpful tips, behind-the-scenes moments, and local gems that make this city feel so special. Plus, you’ll get to know me and my awesome teammate, Josie!

Aside from real estate, here are some fun facts about me:
🌍 I’ve lived in 4 countries & visited 38—Canada is by far my favorite.
🏆 I won Gold with Team Canada at the 2008 & 2024 World Ultimate Frisbee Championships.
❄️ Often on Sundays, I cold plunge in Lynn Valley—feel free to join!
🐕 My dog, Moomoo, is a Mexican rescue.
💪 My goal is to move every single day of 2025—I hit 349/365 last year!
🏙️ On Fridays, I share interesting facts about Vancouver.

Consider this your one-stop shop for all things real estate (and some fun along the way!) Hope you’ll stick around! 
Drop a 👋 in the comments and let me know what you love most about Vancouver!

#tbt Captured after the finals of World Ultimate Championships 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸

What I love most about ultimate frisbee is how it brings together people from completely different worlds, all because of a shared love for chasing a piece of plastic
🥏 Like here - me, your favourite Vancouver realtor, and Marques @MKBHD a world-famous YouTuber and incredible athlete 🌎🏆 Our backgrounds couldn’t be more different, but out here, it’s all about the game & the passion we share.

After 25 years in this sport, it’s the connection like this that remind me why I love this sport so much 

Thank you @colle_mot for the connection and 📸

🌳 Vancouver’s original photo booth? An 800-year-old tree stump that’s survived fires, a massive windstorm and almost being cut down.

You can find a golden mirror-image replica in South Vancouver near Marine Drive Station, designed by Vancouver artist Douglas Coupland and paid for by Intracorp Development. 

I’m not a historian, just a realtor who likes learning about this city and sharing it with you. 
Thank you @imrankhoja1 for your cameo in this weeks episode of #FunFactFriday

One of our favourite small business finds in Vancouver 📸

Once or twice a year, we stop by SelfieLab @selfielab.ca to refresh our marketing photos and stock up for the year.

Website, blog posts, newsletter, social media, print materials… you name it. Just look in the mirror wall & use a clicker to take photos. We even played some standup comedy in the background to make sure the laugh & smiles are authentic 😁

Take as many photos as you want and you get them ALL within 24 hours. You can be totally serious, be yourself or get a little goofy.

Such a smart concept. Check them out! 🙌

We spend so much time at Vancouver’s beaches that it’s easy to forget how much the shoreline has changed over the last 100+ years.

What looks completely natural today can have a surprisingly human touch behind it. Vancouver has so many interesting stories like that

Streetcars coming back to the Arbutus Greenway 👀

The 9 km corridor has gone from an electric railway, to abandoned tracks and community gardens, to the Greenway we know today. And when the City bought the corridor from CPR for $55 million in 2016, part of the deal preserved space for a potential future streetcar.

So that bike path you’re walking on? It might not always be a bike path. 👀

I’m not a historian or a city planner, just a local REALTOR who loves learning about Vancouver and sharing the stories I discover with you.

And if you’re curious about property values along the Arbutus corridor, I’m your guy. 🏡

Thank you @lauramariefortey for your cameo in this week’s episode of #FunFactFriday First take, like a pro taken in Arbutus Greenway by @toly.ca
