Born and raised in Invermere, Gerry KNOWS the Valley!

Gerry has a background in small business (founder of Gerry's Gelati), local government politics, and is an experienced real estate investor, Gerry understands the complexity of land zoning, how to read financial statements, and how to find opportunities!

Gerry knows how special the area is, and that an investment in real estate is not just measured by dollars- it is a commitment and an emotional investment in a place, and in a community.

Gerry lives in Invermere with his partner Nozomi, and their two children Kelvin (9 years old), Veronica (6 year olds).

In the fall of 2023 Gerry experienced a major mental health breakdown (which may have been triggered by accidental drug exposure at a conference in Vancouver). Although the experience was scary for Gerry and those close to him, there was a lot of new perspectives that were gained and Gerry has come out of this stronger. Gerry is now committed to having a healthier work/life balance and being an advocate for increasing mental health supports and capacity in & around Invermere.

Beginning in November of 2023, Gerry is excited to be embracing a new independent business model partnering with a unique boutique brokerage based in Rossland BC, Mountain Town Properties. This allows Gerry to focus on re-entering real estate sales and marketing in around Invermere & Area with a client focused non-franchise approach. 

Gerry is also proud to be spearheading a rural land development, Luxor Heights, and a commercial redevelopment in downtown Invermere, O'Lord, with phase one opening December 2023!
