At Qathet365, we believe in building connection through community. It means a lot to us when our sponsors share those same values, and 460 Realty Powell River is a great example.

In 2020, when four local agents saw the need for an independent brokerage that understood the community, they created something built on local values while still offering the strength of an established Vancouver Island–based brand.

Today, their office consists of a close-knit group of Realtors who support one another and show up for the region they call home.

Powell River Realtors with Local Roots and Fresh Perspectives

We’ve seen how the Agents at 460 bring together a mix of backgrounds and perspectives. Some grew up here and raised families locally. Others arrived from other Canadian cities and chose qathet for the lifestyle and opportunities it offers. Together they bring decades of experience, which helps them connect with people and find solutions that truly fit their lives.

Supporting Powell River and qathet Through Community Involvement

“We take the initiative to join forces with and support local causes that are important to us.”

We also see the difference they make through their ongoing support of their time and donations to community events and organizations. Their involvement includes supporting the Powell River Kings, QPAWS through the Marathon Shuffle, the Firefighters Charitable Society hockey game, Powell River Gymnastics Society, Food Bank and Salvation Army drives, the Salmon Society, Texada Island Non-Profit Seniors Housing Society, and Springtime Market events like the Easter Egg Hunt. Their presence is felt in many corners of qathet life, and it’s clear they take that role seriously.

Advice for Homebuyers in qathet

Their advice for homebuyers is refreshingly down-to-earth. “Real estate should suit your lifestyle and budget,” says Nancy Hamilton. Austyn MacKinnon adds, “Date the rate, marry the house; find a way and take a step toward your future.” For Katie Indrebo, timing is personal: “Buy when it feels right for you, not when others tell you it’s the right time.” And Bill Bailey reminds newcomers that, “Getting involved in the community is a great way to jumpstart your life here.”

Little Hive

Whenever I want to add something fresh to my wardrobe—or just indulge in a little sensory joy—I stop in at Little Hive. The shop smells incredible (thanks to the handmade soaps and candles), and every corner is filled with beautifully curated finds: vintage clothing, locally made jewelry, and even eco-friendly cleaning products that somehow make chores feel… almost fun?

This place is full of charm and character. It’s the kind of shop you wander into for “just a quick look” and leave with three things you didn’t know you needed—but now love.

Owl & Bear

Tucked away in the Townsite Market, Owl & Bear is a treasure chest of bulk herbs, practical curiosities, and one-of-a-kind gifts. I usually go in to refill my stash of tea-making ingredients, and I always end up spotting something new, clever, or unexpectedly perfect for someone I love (also: me).

They’re also the home base of Pirate Pops, the locally made frozen treats that everyone seems to crave once the sun comes out. Owl & Bear is the kind of place where you never know what you’ll find—and that’s exactly why I keep going back.

Kajal Kromm’s Wellness Spa

From brow shaping to facials to luxurious massage, Kajal Kromm’s Wellness Spa, also located in the Townsite Market, is where I go to feel totally cared for. Kajal has a warm, welcoming energy and a real gift for making people feel beautiful and grounded.

And because she doesn’t stop at pampering, she and her husband also run Taste of Heaven G&K, the sweet little tea and sandwich shop right upstairs from the spa. It’s the perfect finishing touch to a little me-day. (I’m still thinking about the soup I had there. Chef’s kiss.)
