Paul Hawley Personal Real Estate Corporation
I was born in Victoria but later moved to Vancouver to further my first career as a musician. I spent 15 years as a touring musician and creative voice in the band Hot Hot Heat. Through my work with the band, I was able to travel the world extensively and play many shows and festivals with other acts such as the Foo Fighters, The Killers, Randy Bachman, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Coldplay. I was fortunate enough to play some of the biggest stages in the world on five continents and was nominated for 2 Juno awards. It taught me invaluable lessons in interpersonal relationships, business management and good old-fashioned hard work. I also learned that through a combination of talent, hard work and a bit of luck any goal can be attained.
After working as a musician, I spent time working in the Set Decoration department of many major motion pictures and various television productions. This work gave me a keen eye for interior design which transfers well to my career as a realtor. I enjoy visualizing the potential that every home holds!
I loved my time spent on the coast but had felt the pull of the Okanagan for many years. My mother and father-in-law live in Kelowna (who are both retired realtors), and I have spent many years visiting this beautiful city. I knew one day we would live here. My wife, daughter and I finally made the move, and haven’t looked back.
My diverse experience and proven entrepreneurial success have given me the tools to take the stress out of the buying and selling process for you. I will work to always put my clients’ needs first by making myself accessible and responding quickly.
I spend my spare time with family; my wife Jena and our 2 young daughters. I love being in the kitchen cooking up a spicy curry. I also play bass with my band The Insiders, Kelowna’s best party band!
