As I met Kate at her beautifully decorated Cook Street home, IB次元官网网址檓 greeted enthusiastically by her two Dachshunds, Grizzly and Oscar.
Originally from North Vancouver, Kate has called many places across Canada home, including Nova Scotia, where she went to university; Toronto, where she worked in shopping centre marketing; Grand Prairie, where her husband worked as a cowboy on the rodeo circuit; and finally to Victoria, where she and her husband plan to stay.
B次元官网网址淚 love Victoria. It feels like the countryB次元官网网址檚 little secret and IB次元官网网址檇 love for no one to find out about it,B次元官网网址� she says, laughing at the irony because her job happens to be about bringing people here. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 funny. When I first moved here, I was going to Vancouver every weekend and now I never leave. Every weekend trip is to somewhere on the island B次元官网网址� thereB次元官网网址檚 so much to see.B次元官网网址�
Passionate about adventure, KateB次元官网网址檚 happy place is exploring the island on the weekends.
B次元官网网址淚 love paddle boarding all year. In the summers, we do a lot of fishing off our boat in Bamfield. There are so many cool islands to explore around here.B次元官网网址�
Originally brought to Victoria to work in commercial leasing for Uptown shopping centre, Kate specialized in finding local tenants for it. But although she found it very rewarding, she eventually moved to residential realty.
B次元官网网址淚 get so excited by the potential I see when I look at homes. People donB次元官网网址檛 always see what I see; I just canB次元官网网址檛 help but get excited about that sort of stuff.B次元官网网址�
Asked what qualities have led to , she says, B次元官网网址淚 was always told, B次元官网网址業f youB次元官网网址檙e going to be in this business, you have to be hard.B次元官网网址� But IB次元官网网址檝e found that the best approach is to just be open and honest with people and go about it in a respectful manner. I feel like people trust me and my opinion because IB次元官网网址檓 so open and honest.B次元官网网址�

With a B次元官网网址渓ess is moreB次元官网网址� approach to her style, Kate says her everyday look is driven by comfort.
B次元官网网址淚 like clean lines and a simple, classic style. IB次元官网网址檓 also guilty of being a total Instagram follower when it comes to fashion. I get a lot of style inspiration from there, but I never take fashion too seriously.B次元官网网址�
