Manager of Pre & Post Sales: James Ray
James’ powerful combination of street level experience and formal education provides his clients at GIC with safe, high return investment opportunities. As a budding entrepreneur James’s appreciation of the value of a dollar was dramatically increased. Investing his family’s savings to start a small construction company, not a dollar was spent without a calculated return on investment. This same careful consideration and calculation is brought to both his personal and his clients’ investment portfolios today.
James has been educated in real estate investment strategies, business start up, as well as personal & professional leadership. This knowledge has been tested by fire as he worked in Calgary’s demanding construction industry in the capacities of business owner, project manager as well as more recently in sales and marketing. He is also reaping the personal benefits of owning revenue property in Calgary’s booming market.
James commitment to see others prosper extends to the under privileged and financially impoverished. His humanitarian works span from working with Calgary’s under privileged teens to building homes for families in third world countries. In a very practical way, he uses the power of real estate to better the lives of individuals from a wide range of income levels.
Project Manager: Shane Mathews
A born and raised Calgarian, Shane has watched this city’s explosive growth affect all levels of real estate and finance. A fast track career in the General Insurance industry that saw him go from mailroom to partner inside of five years gives him a unique office ability to manage teams and products.
His family is extensively involved in both the commercial and residential real estate market, and he grew up surrounded by success. An extremely varied sales experience combined with extensive world travel has developed in him an ability to think outside of the box. Resourcefulness and highly developed problem solving abilities increase Shane’s value to the team.
