When Claire Flewelling-Wyatt isnB次元官网网址檛 running, hiking, golfing, or exploring with her dogs and husband, youB次元官网网址檒l find her hard at work managing the portfolio for her clients.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e been working for Pemberton Holmes since 2005. In 2007 we moved our offices to the West Shore,B次元官网网址� Claire explains. B次元官网网址淢y job is different every day, which makes it both challenging and rewarding. IB次元官网网址檝e been doing the same job for over 20 years now, because I love the people and the challenge of seeing different properties and finding the right tenants to fit each one. I currently hold four licenses: Strata Manager, Property Manager, Real Estate Agent and Managing Broker. Pemberton Holmes Ltd. handles residential, commercial and strata management.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淢anaging the human factor is unpredictable, especially when dealing with peopleB次元官网网址檚 homes. It makes the job extremely interesting. I wear many hats and solve varied problems.B次元官网网址� As a Licensed Property Manager, Claire needs to know about building maintenance, construction, how the law works, and how to deal with people in sensitive situations.

Claire loves working and exploring the West Shore. B次元官网网址淭hey are so pro-development here. I love the growth IB次元官网网址檝e seen. I have seen some of the first purpose-built rentals being approved out here, and itB次元官网网址檚 been 30 years or so since this was a reality in Victoria.B次元官网网址�

After work, you can usually find Claire outside. B次元官网网址淭he West Shore has so much to offer outdoor enthusiasts and everything is close and convenient. ItB次元官网网址檚 still pretty untapped as to all the different adventures you can go on. My husband and I are both outdoor enthusiasts. We love to golf, hike and do extreme running, like the Ultras. I do it for the challenge. ItB次元官网网址檚 also a great stress relief. I love pushing my body and my mind to

the limit.B次元官网网址� ClaireB次元官网网址檚 constant companions, Johnny and Ginger, are mini Australian Shepherds. B次元官网网址淭hey run with us all the time,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淲e love going to the beach and playing ball. They keep us super active.B次元官网网址�

When it comes to running, Claire has a few favourite places, too.

B次元官网网址淚 love Gowlland Tod Provincial Park and Thetis Lake Regional Park. IB次元官网网址檝e been running around Thetis since I started with Pemberton Holmes. ItB次元官网网址檚 a challenging little trail and it only takes a half hour to go around. ItB次元官网网址檚 an easy way to get a trail run in from the office.

B次元官网网址淕owlland Tod is where IB次元官网网址檝e done a lot of training. ItB次元官网网址檚 super challenging and the views are spectacular. We also run the Sooke Park trail, where we can actually see whales.B次元官网网址�

Claire also loves to give back to her community and to causes dear to her heart. B次元官网网址淲ith Pemberton Holmes we serve breakfasts at Our Place. I have also worked a lot with the West Shore Rugby Football Club, where I managed the womenB次元官网网址檚 team for a couple of years. My husband and I continue to be big supporters of the club and its members.B次元官网网址�

And then thereB次元官网网址檚 the Run2Revive. B次元官网网址淓very year we run across the Grand Canyon,B次元官网网址� Claire explains. B次元官网网址淓very fall, supporters take on the ultimate challenge and run across the Grand Canyon to raise funds for crucial research in support of ALS and AlzheimerB次元官网网址檚. We wouldnB次元官网网址檛 miss it.B次元官网网址�

When it comes time to fueling her body for all these runs, Claire usually eats at home. B次元官网网址淲e donB次元官网网址檛 eat out often, but when we do, we go to and . They are our favourites.B次元官网网址�
