John Tobin, your local Vancouver Realtor

Kilby and John were both born and raised in Vancouver. They share an indefatigable work ethic instilled by Depression-Era parents who survived "the dirty 30's" on the Prairies... In other words, they understand the value of a hard-earned dollar and the work it takes to succeed.
