Hello! I’m John Sheehan with RE/MAX Ocean Pacific realty and I am proud to call beautiful Comox Valley, Vancouver Island my home. My diverse background has shaped who I am today as a real estate advisor, business owner, and community-minded professional.
I began my career with a deep passion for helping others, working as a child and youth care counselor for 10 years, specializing in youth at risk and children with special needs. In 2000, I transitioned to the culinary world, attending Dubrulle French culinary school in Vancouver and eventually becoming a chef. My wife and I successfully owned and operated an award-winning restaurant in Fort Langley. which we sold in 2006 after starting our family. The restaurant experience led me to the food sales industry, where I spent the next 9 years, including founding my own company, Coast Seafood Distributors.
In 2016, using my previous skill sets, I embarked on a career in real estate. Since then, I’ve committed myself full-time to helping individuals and families navigate the process of buying and selling homes and investment properties here on Vancouver Island.
What sets me apart in this industry is my unwavering commitment to building lasting relationships grounded in family values, honesty, and integrity. My background in business—coupled with a focus on precise contract writing, impeccable customer service, and strong negotiation skills—has shaped me into a trusted, ethical, and reliable real estate advisor. I strive to always put my clients’ needs first, listening before speaking, and working tirelessly to help them achieve their real estate goals.
As a progressive agent, I think outside the box and get results. My mission is to earn your trust now and for years to come, ensuring you have a positive experience at every step. I continually invest in my personal and professional growth, keeping up with market trends and expanding my knowledge through ongoing education.
I would love to connect and see how I can help you with your next real estate endeavor!
