Two Legacy Companies, One Vision for the Okanagan

For thirty-five years, Predator Ridge has stood among Canada’s most respected master-planned resort communities, a place where four-season living meets award-winning golf, extensive trail networks, and a calendar rarely without something happening. This season marks a milestone in the resort’s history: for the first time, Predator Ridge, developed by Wesbild, welcomed a real estate brokerage to its community, choosing Unison Jane Hoffman Realty as its partner to have

Where Design Becomes a Way of Living

Some spaces simply look beautiful. Others change the way you move through your days — the way you reach for a glass, sink into a chair, or pause at a doorway and feel, without quite being able to articulate why, that everything is exactly right. Katie Stephenson has built an entire practice around that second kind of space.

Redefining Luxury Living, from the Rockies to the Okanagan

The Canadian West rewards those who build with intention. Its landscapes demand it — the scale of the Rockies, the luminous stillness of the Okanagan, the urban ambition of Calgary each call for something more considered than the ordinary. Since 2009, Allison Grafton has answered that call through Rockwood Custom Homes, establishing a distinct model of luxury residential construction rooted in alignment, accountability, and design excellence.

A Tuscan-Inspired Kitchen at
the Heart of Island Living

Some rooms are lived in, but the kitchen is lived with — a place where people naturally come together, shaping the heartbeat of a home. It is the place where families gather without thinking, where stories are exchanged between simmering pots, and where the rituals of daily life take shape. Even in the most contemporary architecture, the kitchen remains the anchor, a space that radiates warmth, purpose, and connection. On Vancouver Island, where nature is woven into every facet of daily living, this truth feels even more profound. It is here that the work of David Coulson has, for four decades, embraced the notion that a kitchen is not merely a functional space, but a living expression of how people inhabit their homes and their surroundings.

At the core of this transformation is Head Buyer Anita Tiernan, whose eye for global craftsmanship and love of storytelling through design shape every corner. Her seasonal vision brings together pieces that inspire connection, spark imagination, and encourage everyone to embrace a more intentional kind of cozy.

Redefining Real Estate Through Connection, Care, and Expertise

Moments of true alignment in real estate are rare — when landscape, lifestyle, and long-term vision converge to create a setting that feels effortless yet exceptional. In the Interior of British Columbia, buyers are discovering exactly that. From the Okanagan’s vineyard-studded hills and pristine lakes to Whistler’s world-class mountain vistas, the region offers properties that reflect every interpretation of luxury. While definitions may differ, one constant remains: given the scale and significance of these investments, each home deserves a level of service and expertise that matches its value — a standard that has been in the making at Unison Real Estate Brokerages for nearly a decade.
