Prior to opening MCM Real Estate late in 2008, the couple owned and operated Sheridan Property Management from 1983 until 2006. Their involvement with all forms of real estate provided valuable background and experience for their new company, MCM.

“We feel that we have something to offer our clients with our previous experience in commercial property management in terms of leasing, understanding tenants needs and the ability to provide expertise to new businesses starting up with respect to location and construction of improvements. Our background in revenue producing properties (residential and commercial) is a valuable asset when listing or selling investment properties. As well, we have provided consulting services to Developers considering residential and/or commercial condominium projects.”

Murray adds that the work is rewarding – often involving a variety of real estate and real estate users – doctors, professionals, industrial firms, government, retail and small business owners. We have often provided assistance to new firms coming to Kamloops and the couple enjoys opportunities to work as an ambassador for Kamloops in terms of economic development.
