Karl Vanderkuip

WHO IS KARL VANDERKUIP?

After a couple of years spent drifting – nay, ‘traveling’ – around the globe, Karl Vanderkuip became a real estate agent in 2004, channeling a lifelong love of design and architecture into not only a career but also what he believes to be his calling.

Sixteen years later, Karl’s passion for the industry is stronger than ever, fuelled by his natural ability to build solid relationships and a penchant for finding new ways to push the envelope.

With a combination of monk-like patience (likely from all the yoga) and quick wit (at least he thinks so), Karl instills a contagious sense of comfort and confidence that is an essential part of both the buying and selling process.
