Real Estate Is in My Nature

Helping buyers, sellers, and investors navigate real estate across the Columbia Valley — from Spillimacheen to Canal Flats and Panorama.

Selecting the right agent is one of the most important decisions you’ll make on your real estate journey.

I’ve called the Columbia Valley home since 2002 and have been helping clients buy and sell homes with ease and enjoyment since 2009.

If you’re ready to make a move, I’d love to guide you on your adventure.

Happy Clients, Happy Homes

Proud to have helped so many clients turn their real estate goals into reality — here’s what they have to say.

  • “His business acumen and deep knowledge of the residential and commercial real estate markets in the Valley make him the top choice for anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the area.”

    Dave McGrath assisted my family and I with the selling of our home in Invermere and it couldn’t have gone better. He was thoughtful about everything form the pricing strategy to staging, photography, showings and the process of negotiating the final selling price. His business acumen and deep knowledge of the residential and commercial real estate markets in the Valley make him the top choice for anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the area. We enjoyed working with Dave so much that we’ve engaged him on several occasions since for procuring commercial real estate and he’s been every bit as keen on those occasions as he was the first time we worked with him. He’s the first call to make when it comes to real estate in the Columbia Valley.

  • He provided us with the information necessary to help us navigate purchasing a tenanted property.

    Dave helped us to purchase our little mountain retreat.  He provided us with the information necessary to help us navigate purchasing a tenanted property.  He was always available and responsive to my many questions and concerns.  Dave turned what could have been a very stressful situation into an easy and successful transaction.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dave to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Valley.

  • We asked a few of our friends for who they had selected as their agent………..Dave McGrath’s name came up in LIGHTS.

    A few years ago we decided to sell our place in the Valley and search for a new recreational home in the Valley.  We asked a few of our friends for who they had selected as their agent………..Dave McGrath’s name came up in LIGHTS.  We started with Dave’s valued assistance to undertake a search for a new recreational home………..as we worked through the process our needs and expectations evolved and Dave was able to help us navigate what we really wanted………..at no time was there any pressure and Dave was at the ready to show us several options.  Patience and persistence paid off and we landed our dream property, thanks to Dave.

    Once we secured our new home Dave led the charge listing our existing property………….it sold immediately.

    Dave was also instrumental with providing great references for service providers to help us with our move and becoming familiar with the systems in our new place.

    Outstanding service and High Value Add.

  • His experience, professionalism, and integrity were evident throughout the transactions.  

    I have bought and sold properties in the Colombia Valley using Dave's real estate services.  His experience, professionalism, and integrity were evident throughout the transactions.   Recently, Dave listed a property for me which received an offer within 5 days, and the sale was finalized shortly thereafter.  His affable personality makes him a pleasure to do business with.  I would not hesitate to use his services in the future.

  • There are tons of realtors in the valley but only one Dave McGrath.  Go with him, you won't be disappointed!

    Dave is INCREDIBLE! We have bought two homes in the valley with him and were very happy both times! The first wasn't even on the market, he was proactive for what we were looking for, reached out to them and we purchased it directly. Our second home was more challenging, we had been looking for almost 6 months, with multiple viewings, offerings and everything in between.  Dave was there every step of the way, incredibly knowledgeable, giving us great advice but also being real with us.  We recommend Dave to our family and friends (and they have found success with him too!).  There are tons of realtors in the valley but only one Dave McGrath.  Go with him, you won't be disappointed!

    Erika Dantzer, Invermere - Buyer

  • Dave is very easy to deal with as he is pleasant, knowledgeable and understanding, a true professional.

    I have hired Dave as my realtor for my past two properties as both a seller and buyer. He obtained all the information required for the process to flow smoothly, which worked very well as the transitions were flawless. The videos, pictures and descriptions of the properties were amazing. He communicated with other realtors which ensured all information was transmitted without any confusion. Dave is very easy to deal with as he is pleasant, knowledgeable and understanding, a true professional. I recommend Dave to all who are searching for an upstanding person to convey their information about selling or buying a property.

    Kevin Potts, Canal Flats - Buyer and Seller

  • It never feels like you're dealing with a "salesperson" - Dave is as genuine as they come!

    Working with Dave over the years has been nothing short of fantastic! He’s guided us through buying and selling a couple of properties in the Invermere area as our needs evolved with our growing family.

    What truly sets Dave apart is who he is— he’s incredibly down-to-earth, truly cares about the people he works with, and is just an all-around great person to know!

    It never feels like you're dealing with a "salesperson" - Dave is as genuine as they come!

    If you enjoy working with someone who feels more like a good friend (who also happens to be awesome at navigating all the real estate jargon), Dave’s your guy. You’ll be well taken care of and end up with exactly what you’re looking for. We honestly couldn’t imagine working with anyone else—he’s been incredible every step of the way.
