Mike Evans, Manager

Mike is a long time resident of this community and knows pretty much everything there is to know about Coast living.  He was raised here, he has worked his entire life here and this is where he raised his family.

Mike graduated from Elphinstone Secondary School and spent 2 years at the University of Victoria before returning to Sechelt to work in the forest industry - logging, actually. According to Mike, working in camp up those remote inlets in some of the toughest conditions you can imagine gave him some enduring life lessons about the value of hard work.

Mike began his real estate career in 1984 with Mitten Realty, under the leadership of the legendary Manager, John Peat. During his time in sales Mike enjoyed considerable success, qualifying for the prestigious Medallion Club (top 10% of agents in the Lower Mainland) and the President's Club (top 1%). The office culture at Mitten Realty was one of integrity, success and teamwork - principles that have stayed true with Mike throughout his career. When John Peat finally retired, it was time to move on. In 1996 Mike made the move up to RE/MAX. He was appointed manager shortly thereafter and became the sole owner of the company in 1998.

Under Mike's management, RE/MAX Oceanview Realty has expanded to include a merger with Anderson Realty in 2001 and the opening of a branch office at the IGA Mall in Madeira Park, Pender Harbour. These progressive moves have helped RE/MAX Oceanview maintain its status as one of the top listing and selling office on the Sunshine Coast every year since 1996.  

Mike has an extensive education in the real estate field and holds the professional designations of Representative and Managing Broker. He is also a former Notary Public and he's licensed for real estate trading services, property management and strata management.

As a manager, Mike is best known for helping with difficult contracts, training new Associates and hosting legendary office parties.  Mike's Tuesday morning sales meetings are particularly important in the scheme of things and well known for their value to his agents with regard to education and market knowledge.

In his spare time Mike enjoys kickboxing, playing guitar in the local band, Blue Western, and riding his Harley Davidson with his brothers and sisters in HOG Coast Hwy Chapter.
