Introducing our newest agent, Erica Lawson.
Erica moved to Whistler from Ontario when she was 18, soaking up the charm of the mountain town while exploring her new home alone. Her first weeks in Whistler were filled with late September sun, total freedom, and an overwhelming sense of belonging.
Erica went back to school to study Business at BCIT and began her career with Blueshore Financial. Known for her excellent customer service, negotiation skills and getting things done, Erica is committed to helping her clients in the highly competitive world that is the Whistler real estate market.
Erica is an avid hockey player, mountain biker, skier and trail runner and is well known in the community. Her love of adventure and the outdoors is apparent in everything she does.
With her two children embracing the Whistler lifestyle, Erica's connection to the community has grown even deeper, and she is committed to welcoming adventurous professionals to town and helping them find their dream home.
What are you passionate about outside of real estate?
Like most Whistler locals, I have a deep passion for mountain biking, snowboarding and trail running. I am also a very avid hockey player. Growing up in Ottawa, my passion for hockey has been a big part of my life. I have participated in and coached high level play and experienced life-changing pond hockey games. Competitive hockey has had a huge impact on my personality. Real estate and hockey have much in common, both require great communication, empathy, hard work and a drive to succeed.
What is your favorite outdoor activity in Whistler?
My favorite outdoor activity in Whistler is mountain biking, which offers endless room for creativity while pushing the limits of physical and mental endurance.
There's no better feeling than riding with friends on a sunny day.
Are there any annual events or festivals in Whistler/Pemberton that you always look forward to?
Crankworx Bike Festival means a lot to our family. It's the largest bike festival in the world and brings hundreds of thousands of people to our charming town. What makes it especially special for us is that Erica's husband is at the helm as the designer and head builder of the main slopestyle event. Our kids love to get involved and can be found during the festival moving rocks in the “Boneyard” and helping to excavate the slopestyle course. This event truly creates a unique excitement that's unlike anything else in Whistler.
Where do you go for a quick meal?
My favorite place to eat is Alpine Cafe, a locally owned and operated cafe with a great neighborhood feel, great live music and delicious food.
Other recommendations include Rim Rock, Sushi Village, Pasta Lupinos and Caramba.
