About Us
David Blanchard, Gary Stapleton & Drew Blair founded Blair Blanchard Stapleton Limited in July 1995 with the idea to form an elite group of professional salespeople to lead the I.C. & I industry in the Greater Bay area. Over 14 years later their vision has flourished into an industry leader, multi-million dollar firm with a group of real estate professional that have more than 100 years of combined experience in all aspects of commercial and investment real estate.
The current sales team consists of 13 recognized sales representatives with expertise in industrial sales and leasing, land sales, office leasing, retail & investment real estate and appraisals. All of the certified professionals have industry knowledge covering urban planning, financing, appraisal, design-build, construction, and property management. Many of the team members have also contributed greatly to the real estate industry through service on committees on the Realtors Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) and the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), while also giving back to the community though other organizations in the Hamilton area.
Our client base ranges from the small, single user property to medium size industry and Fortune 500 firms, along with extensive dealings in the financial community. All of the attributes of our sales force help us to provide our clients with the most informed, timely, professional real estate advice and service. It is essential in today’s market to be able to offer a complete package when dealing with non-residential properties. The brokerage firms and sales representatives must have the ability to coordinate all aspects of a potential sale/lease transaction in order to facilitate the deals and their competition. We at BBS continually update our knowledge of construction methods, costs, zoning bi-laws, building codes, and the local political environment, which can be critical to the timing required to take a project from the initial stage to the finished facility.
In April of 1999, we expanded and announced the opening of our second brokerage office in Burlington. This office is a full service business handling all areas of commercial sales and leasing. This year we are announcing another expansion in the city of St. Catharines. This office will also offer a full range of services to meet the needs of the clients in the Niagara Region.
