ABOUT Jay
I’m a REALTOR® based in Abbotsford with Farms In BC Real Estate Group, specializing in agricultural properties, acreages, and rural land across the Fraser Valley—including Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, and Maple Ridge. As a third-generation farmer, I bring both boots-on-the-ground experience and real estate expertise to help clients navigate the unique demands of land that works.
I was raised in Abbotsford alongside my family’s farm operation, where I developed firsthand insight into crop cycles, farm operations, and the evolving business of agriculture. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience dealing with farm-specific challenges such as restrictive covenants, boundary line adjustments, farmhouse construction, raising land in floodplains, and niche farming operations. I currently manage my own blueberry farm in the Sumas Prairie of Abbotsford, which gives me a practical understanding of what makes farmland both functional and financially sound.
After earning my Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of the Fraser Valley, I built a foundation in estate planning and agricultural financing—allowing me to guide clients beyond the transaction. I help buyers and sellers make tax-efficient real estate decisions specific to the agricultural sector, ensuring they maximize both their net return and long-term potential.
Now raising my family within the acreage lifestyle, I remain deeply connected to the land and the community I serve. My clients often describe me as straightforward, genuine, and grounded—a REALTOR® who understands farming not just as a business, but as a way of life.
