Ian Watt - Mayne Island Since 1976

One fateful summer day in 1976, Ian Watt at the age of 3 years old was exploring the Gulf Islands with his family in their Volkswagen camper van when the the fan belt broke on Bayview Drive. Being forced to settle in on Mayne Island for the week waiting for the van to be fixed, his parents explored the beautifully untouched island, and fell in love with Mayne and the simplicity it had to offer. Months later, for $9,500, his parents bought their Mayne Island property and Ian and his family have been part residents ever since. 

Having also lived in and built a very successful real estate business in Yaletown / Downtown for two decades, Ian has been focused on selling everything from modest townhouses to luxury penthouses. Over the years Ian has created a solid real estate practice using digital marketing coupled with good old fashioned customer service. Ian has been fortunate to not only work with local Canadian residents but also sports celebrities, entrepreneurs, royalty, as well as international investors.   

Organically, Ian’s business on Mayne has started to grow over the years as many Mayne Island clients have been looking for an alternative choice of marketing, reach, expertise and experience. Furthermore, as Mayne has evolved into a weekend destination for Greater Vancouver’s wealthy families, having a realtor that understands and connects with this new demographic of part-time residents will make the difference in achieving your real estate goals.
