ABOUT JEN HARVEY

Enthusiastic real estate advisor with a passion for vibrant communities, based on Bowen Island and serving all of Metro Vancouver. h••••@jenharveyrealty.com I have always been fascinated by people and places. I\'m passionate about how where we live impacts how we live. A love of National Geographic magazine inspired me to study Geography at the University of Victoria. The importance of home at various stages in our lives is of such interest that my Master\'s thesis focused on Home beyond the house, how people create community in later life. Before joining the world of Real Estate, I worked at the University of British Columbia working to better understand how communities support children and families. At UBC I also worked as an internal coach and sustainability coordinator. I love to get around on two wheels; I biked from Iceland to the Mediterranean as part of a year-long round-the-world adventure on five continents. One of my favourite topics of conversation is what people love about where they live. As a Sales Advisor, I use my geography and coaching background to help find a home that supports client\'s lifestyle and well being. I\'m delighted to be part of the Oakwyn team and to bring my enthusiasm for home, community and connections to real estate advising.
