With a thirty-five year career in real estate, John deCourcey Evans is considered one of Canada’s foremost business and community leaders. His career accomplishments range from the conceptualization and development of the internationally acclaimed boutique hotel company, OPUS Hotels, to his role as the lead developer for Intrawest’s Resort on Blackcomb, which set the benchmark for the billion dollar explosion of real estate development in Whistler beginning in the mid ’80s.
Demonstrating a unique insight into the needs and wants of today’s consumer, whether it be for retail goods and services, a resort home or a unique hotel or restaurant “experience”, Evan’s ideas are grounded in a solid understanding of business, finance and real estate dynamics. His marketing acumen is legendary – in fact, many of the advanced real estate marketing strategies that British Columbia is noted for are rooted in the development of John Evans’ career where, if not actually originated by him, they were most certainly honed to a fine art through his adaptation.
