Our Heritage

In 1981, during the worst Real Estate market in Nanaimo's history, five of the top producing REALTORS® in Nanaimo had a dream. They followed that dream and founded a brokerage known as Bowen Realty. That company flourished, to the surprise of its competitors, and in 1985 Bowen Realty merged with Woodgrove Realty to form Bowen Realty Woodgrove Ltd. This merge in turn led to the offices of REMAX of Nanaimo, now REMAX Professionals.

The newly formed REMAX of Nanaimo quickly carved a commanding position for itself in the Nanaimo Real Estate market. The company grew consistently, and in 1992 construction began on its present Metral Centre location. The architectural style of the striking building was recognized by the City of Nanaimo with its first prize for design in 1992.
