What's Mortgage Dave been up to?

I have been working hard with the Lynn Valley Community Association to redo their website.  The original website was designed and built by a board member who did a great job for a beginner.  The new site will be live soon and it will allow us to deliver our newsletter electronically and to get information out to the community quickly. Stay tuned!

Meet Ryan Donohoe

Nor-Wes Landscape & Design Ltd is a local company that that has been ryanrunning for the past four years throughout greater Vancouver. They specialize in creating unique designs that transform each customer's needs and dreams into practical and beautiful landscapes.

From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, Nor-Wes ensures the best customer service and a quality landscape that both lasts and represents the individual customer.

Founded by Ryan Donohoe, an honours Graduate of the Capilano College Horticulture program.   Recently Nor-Wes completed quite an extensive project situated in Deep Cove for the Akelaitis family. The project required the coordination of engineers, the District of North Vancouver, many different subcontractors, and a small key crew to ensure the project was executed perfectly as per the design previously completed before construction commenced.

Recently published in Ozzie Jurock's new book "Real Estate Action " as one of Ozzie's top 50 Professionals giving advice on the process of Landscape Design and Construction and how to hire a professional Contractor. Nor-Wes was awarded as a program finalist in the 2010 BCLNA Landscape Awards of Excellence for the category of landscapes of $120,000 and greater in value. Recently Ryan visited England for his first visit to the Chelsea Flower Show (the largest gardening event in the world) Ryan had the opportunity to meet and learn from some of the greatest Landscape Designers in the world.

If you're considering a landscape project in the future we would be more than happy to sit down with you over a cup of coffee to discuss the process.

In Conclusion

Well it's the end of the year all ready.  What a year 2010 has been.  It was not without it's challenges but it forced me to look hard at how I run my business.  I am just about finished my re-branding and I have really enjoyed getting more involved with my local community.  I am marketing to the Lynn Valley Market now as I am born and raised here and have lived in Lynn Valley most of my life. 

This does not mean I cannot do mortgages elsewhere, I can still do a mortgage anywhere in Canada.    If you are thinking about refinancing, renovating or buying a new home just click to email me I will handle everything and get it done fast and easy so you can deal with all the other things going on in your  life!

Sincerely,

Dave Bruynesteyn
