Kiel and Travis Bach
Both have lived in Nanaimo for more than twenty years, and they work as one team across Central Vancouver Island.


Kiel went beyond the normal expectations to ensure we were satisfied with our search, choice and negotiations to ensure our move to Nanaimo met our needs
Travis made our dreams come true. We were trying to find a house for a while so we could move to the island and he found us exactly what we were looking for. His knowledge of the area gave us so much insight into finding a community that works best for us. Thanks for all of your help Travis!
Since moving to the island from the BC interior we have bought and sold multiple homes with Kiel. I will continue to work with him on future purchases. I appreciate his low stress guidance and honest opinions though these interesting times. He goes above and beyond!
