Art Power: From Exotic Cars to Real Estate Expertise
Stilhavn welcomes Art Power, the newest addition to our team, whose dynamic background and passion for community make him a standout in the world of real estate. Art brings a unique blend of high-performance sales experience, bilingual communication skills, and a love for adventure to his approach as a Stilhavn REALTOR®.
From Southern Quebec to the Sea-to-Sky Corridor
Hailing from a quaint village of just 200 people in southern Quebec, Art grew up immersed in both English and French cultures. His academic pursuits in marketing and business led him to manage a successful house painting franchise, but his career truly took off when he entered the world of luxury and exotic cars. Over the years, Art worked with prestigious brands such as Lotus, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Koenigsegg, gaining invaluable expertise in client relations and negotiations.
A self-proclaimed travel enthusiast, Art’s journeys have taken him to captivating destinations like Egypt, Mallorca, London, and most recently, the breathtaking landscapes of Squamish, where he and his wife now call home. Next on his bucket list? A honeymoon in Japan to continue exploring the world.
A New Chapter in Real Estate
Art transitioned to real estate just over a year ago with a mission: to connect with the Squamish community, contribute to its growth, and help his neighbours navigate the property market. In his short time as an agent, he has already made a significant impact, earning a reputation for being an expert negotiator and a dedicated advocate for his clients.
Why Squamish?
Drawn to Squamish’s stunning natural beauty, Art fell in love with the mountains, the trails, and the unparalleled lifestyle the area offers. “There’s nothing like having easy access to the best skiing, biking, and dog walks,” he shares. Beyond the outdoor adventures, he’s inspired by the vibrant community of families and entrepreneurs who are shaping the area’s future.
A Thriving Market with Endless Potential
Art describes the local property market as a dream for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking balance between nature and urban convenience. With proximity to the ocean, mountains, and just a short drive to Vancouver or Whistler, the region offers something for everyone.
Joining the Stilhavn Family
What drew Art to Stilhavn? “The agents,” he says with enthusiasm. “They’re all absolute pros.” He looks forward to learning from the team and contributing his own expertise to the Stilhavn legacy.
Beyond Real Estate
When he’s not helping clients find their dream homes, Art can be found snowboarding, hiking, biking, or exploring the outdoors with his wife and their Rhodesian Ridgeback. His love for travel and high-performance vehicles adds a touch of excitement to his well-rounded life.
Fun fact: Art’s past experience includes selling multi-million-dollar hypercars with over 1,000 horsepower—a testament to his ability to handle high-stakes negotiations with ease.
Looking Ahead
As Art sets out on this new venture with Stilhavn, his enthusiasm, fresh energy, and unique perspectives promise to elevate the real estate experience for his clients and colleagues alike. In the words of Art, “Let me help find the path between where you are, and where you want to be.” With this guiding philosophy, he invites clients to take the next step toward achieving their real estate dreams.
