Gordon Wilson, Real Estate Agent
Gordon Wilson made the move to La Paz from Victoria, British Columbia, where he was a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker Oceanside Real Estate. Gordon is no stranger to La Paz, and not the first of his family to make the move to our fair city. He joins his mother and his brother, Ian Wilson, who joined Baja Life Realty this past year as our first sales agent. In Gordon's own words: "In every role I've taken on, I've proven myself an honest, diligent, capable professional. I earn trust naturally, by offering clear and practical feedback, with enthusiastic hard work, and by creating results. I have traveled extensively and developed a deep respect for the varieties of human culture and society, as some previous careers landed my feet into 90+ countries over two decades. I have worked with all manner of clientele, offering the same earnest service and commitment to every type of client. I dabble in multiple languages, am a die-hard foodie and chef, and I revel in outdoor exercise, like running, hiking, and swimming. I have split my life between Vancouver Island, BC, and La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, and now I look forward to working with clients here in La Paz to find their dream homes. As our Baja Life Realty motto says, “I moved here, you can, too!" You can contact Gordon at gordon@bajaliferealty.com.
