Your Real Estate with
Water Well Advisor

Real Estate is likely the largest investment that most of us might acquire during our entire lifetimes. Purchasing Real Estate serviced by a water well requires far more detailed information than purchasing a home or land that doesn't rely on a water well or another private source for it's water supply.

Specifically this web site has been developed to offer lot's of practical and competent information to anyone who's considering the purchase or sale of Real Estate with a Water Well.

British Columbia is home to some of the most beautiful Real Estate in the world. As a Groundwater Consultant, I've been called to many of the Gulf Islands, some of the smaller or private islands without electricity or services. I've really enjoyed covering much of Vancouver Island and meeting hundreds of homeowners, purchasers and Realtors. I'm very privileged to have visited so many remarkable properties that have often required many ferry, water-taxi trips or tug and barge trips... I can't think of anywhere else in the world that I'd rather live, it's truly beautiful.

A large number of British Columbian and Vancouver Island properties are serviced by an independent or perhaps a shared water well and generally a septic system. Water wells can be an excellent source of water and a valuable asset but unfortunately this is not always the case. I have found that too many people are clearly not aware of what they may be purchasing!

For over 10 years I've specialized in Real Estate with Water Wells on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands as a Groundwater Consultant. Prior to my work as a Groundwater Consultant I was also a licensed BC Realtor for nearly 10 years. As a result of my background much of my work today is with purchasers, vendors and Realtors across Vancouver Island investigating and advising on the condition of private water wells, water systems, treatment systems and contamination issues etc.

If you're purchasing a home or bare land with a water well in British Columbia, it's very important that you carefully investigate the water well whether it is private of shared. Purchasing Real Estate in British Columbia without knowing the facts or making a decision based on verbal representation of the water source or the quality of is very common, but you may be very disappointed and have a costly nightmare on your hands down the road. "Buyer Beware" is not a term to be taken lightly when it comes to water wells.

The information offered on Real-Estate-with-Water-Well-Advice is intended to serve as a basic guide to the public it is not offered as legal advice as I am neither a Realtor or a Lawyer. If you're selling your home this site is also intended to assist, the information may easily prevent some serious last minute problems with the sale of your property. The pages on this site are based on information that I have learned after my study and inspection of hundreds of domestic water wells, water systems and water treatment systems over the past decade.

After years of helplessly observing so many situations that have caused a lot of stress and hardship for both vendors and purchasers, I feel that I would like to offer what I have learned and hopefully my experience may be helpful for others. I believe that a little information and education can make a difference, that's been the primary purpose of my work for the past 10 years. My self-authored website Real-Estate-with-Water-Well-Advice is really a long ways from being complete, I'll continue to add information over the weeks and months ahead. There is much information that I'll cover over time. If you have any ideas or questions please feel free to contact me or drop me an email.
