About Harley Cooper…

Harley was born in Burlington and has moved 9 times in total, 5 with his family. Although his moves took him to places like Brockville, Penetanguishene and Rochester, Michigan his favourite location became the Niagara Region when he was in high school while visiting his older sister at Brock University. He decided to follow in her foot steps and graduated from Brock as well after completing his BA in Business Communications. It was in his second year that he decided that a career in real estate was the perfect fit. Throughout his studies at Brock, Harley maintained a job as security staff for London Arms and managed a small business building bicycles for 3 Niagara Region Wal-Mart stores.

His hectic hours, experience with moving, and second nature to a cell phone constantly ringing prepared him as he began joining Timothy on many visits with his clients. Harley spent plenty of time with the entire Salisbury team watching, learning, helping, and moving on to being a knowledgeable and savvy realtor.

Harley renovated his first home, has since sold it and now purchased an income property with 2 units. With experience in custom home construction he developed a good feel for renovations and property maintenance. He stresses the importance of working with experienced and knowledgeable professionals in order to achieve high quality results and potentially save significant amounts of money. He is detail oriented and looks diligently at properties to help people be as informed as possible before making such a big decision as buying or selling a house.

Keep your eyes open in the warmer months and you may see him riding on his California cruiser bicycle with his dog.

About Karl Regier…

Karl was born and raised in Niagara on the Lake and worked on his neighbors’ fruit farm every summer, for ten years. He attended (and, hard to believe, but he graduated) Brock University with a BSM (Bachelor of of Sport Management), thinking he wanted to be the next great sports agent. While in his first two years at Brock, he worked at the Shaw Festival as the Food and Beverage Manager. He realized he needed a change and golf had always been a passion since he started playing at 16. He began working at Legends on the Niagara golf course, helping to build the course by cutting the tees and greens at 5:00 a.m. every morning. He soon realized that wasn’t for him either. He then started working at Boston Pizza as their bartender and had a GREAT time. Instead of going to work at 5:00 a.m., he was coming home at that time. This was not the life he wanted either.

He had purchased an investment property from his parents when he was at the university. He enjoyed the process and working with people, so he decided to give real estate a try. He bought his current home the day he graduated from Brock University and it has been an ongoing renovation since. Buying an 80-year-old home may seem like fun, but it can be a LONG process. The experience has helped him look at the mechanics of a home when helping clients look for their first home, dream home, investment property, or that perfect fixer-upper.

His dog, Hazzard, keeps him busy when he’s not working and also, a baby daughter, Olivia, who was born on April 29, 2009. Still, golf always seems to fit into Karl's schedule. Karl is a member of the St. Catharines Golf and Country Club and enjoys playing golf with me since I never beat him! He enjoys traveling, sports and having a good time.

His key role on The Salisbury Team is to help investors understand the process as well as the good, the bad and the ugly of being a landlord and to make sure they are having a good time while doing it.

Should you have any questions regarding the investment process or about being a landlord, don’t hesitate to contact him at karl@timothysalisbury.com. FYI…He has seen just about every investment/student rental property listed presently around Brock University and The Pen Centre and keeps himself updated on a daily basis.

About Jim Gifford…

Jim was born and raised on a large farm near Quebec City, but lived in the Niagara Region since he turned 18. In 1970, he was employed by Canadian Tire Acceptance in Welland where he held several jobs and eventually progressed to the position of Personnel Director. Working closely with people has always been his passion, which is the reason he joined the real estate field in 1989. He particularly enjoyed introducing his out of town clients to the Niagara region.

His role on The Salisbury Team is helping buyers that are searching for country properties, farms and high-end homes. His country upbringing is particularly helpful in this area.

In his free time, he enjoys traveling (mainly to the Caribbean), skiing in Ellicottville, and golf (which he’s not really that good at).

Should you have any questions concerning high-end properties or country homes, you can can contact Jim at jim@timothysalisbury.com.
