MODERATOR
John Woods
I was born and raised in Vancouver and spent over 20 years working in the arts, theatre and opera, living and working in cities across North American including Vancouver, Toronto, San Fransisco and Philadelphia. In 1990 I moved to Vancouver Island with my wife and young daughter and changed careers and became a Realtor.
Over the next nine years I worked with Miller Realty, McKinnon Hammond Real Estate and Remax of Nanaimo where I stayed until 1999 when I started my own business providing and installing security equipment for both commercial and residential customers.
I returned to the Real Estate world in 2002 but this time as a Mortgage Broker working for Essex & Kent in Nanaimo. I stayed with Essex & Kent until branching out on my own in 2008 and forming Fitzwilliam Mortgage Corporation. Today I am part owner of Fitzwilliam Mortgage Corporation, a Mortgage Centre Canada franchise, based in Nanaimo.
I have been a member of the MBA-BC (now CMBA-BC) from the day I became a licensed broker 24 years ago and was honored with the Individual Partner Award in 2020 at the last Conference prior to the pandemic.
I have been an active member of both the Nanaimo and Gabriola communities with Habitat Nanaimo, the Gabriola Chamber of Commerce, the Gabriola Ratepayers, the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association and the Old City Quarter Association, just to mention a few. I currently sit on the Gabriola Island Trust Housing Advisory Planning Committee.
