Alan Young
It's not where you're from...it's where you belong...
Life is meant to be an adventure so in 2003 Alan and his family traded in the big city of Toronto for the small town charm of Fernie. It didn't take long to get heavily involved in the community, starting with coaching soccer and participating heavily in local education issues to serving a 3 year term on Fernie City Council. Combined with powder skiing and mountain biking there's never a dull moment!
After a 21 year career in global currency trading, Alan was drawn to real estate by his passion for people and property. A background in financial analysis, negotiation and investing combined with his knowledge of the local issues and processes gives Alan a unique perspective that has made him one of the Elk Valley's most successful realtors.
"My philosophy is simple. Treat others as you would like to be treated. In a no pressure environment I promise a relationship built on trust, communication, respect and placing my client's needs first. My goal is to deliver the highest service possible through hard work and professionalism"
About Fernie
Fernie is located in the southwestern corner of B.C, surrounded on all sides by the Rocky Mountains. Founded in 1908 as a coal mining town, Fernie is rich in history as evidenced by the brick buildings lining the historical downtown, now home to cafes, stores, galleries and restaurants. Over the years the town has become known as an outdoor mecca, with any outdoor activity imagineable right out side your door. Enjoy renowned powder skiing at Fernie Alpine Resort, 5 minutes from town. Home to world class fly fishing, the Elk River flows right through the middle of Fernie. Mountain biking, hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, white-water rafting, snowmobiling, swimming at the Aquatic Centre and golfing are some of the activities available.
