Gabriola Island, BC

In June, Jennifer Lynch will celebrate 25 years in the industry, 20 of which have been dedicated to managing wildly successful brokerages for Coast Realty and Royal LePage. Lynch also remains a fixture in Vancouver Island’s organized real estate community, where she has held multiple positions for BCREA, including president, and the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board. She has been elected to the Real Estate Council of British Columbia and is currently a director of the Real Estate Errors and Omissions Corporation.

Lynch credits the support of her family and colleagues for her continued success, but adds that none of it would have been possible without a willingness to take risks. “Professionally, I say yes to everything,” she says. “This has opened some incredible doors. It also challenges me to do things I may not otherwise seek out to do.”
