Born and raised in Alberta, Hardy Maier has always been rooted in a love for Canada's landscapes and a drive to build a meaningful career. In 1982, Hardy met Nella Maier from Vancouver, beginning a partnership that has flourished for over 40 years. The following year, in 1983, Hardy made the pivotal move to the Lower Mainland of Vancouver, where he and Nella built a life together—combining professional success with a deep commitment to family and community.

For two decades, Hardy dedicated himself to furnishing hotels across Canada and the United States, establishing a reputation for quality and reliability in the hospitality industry. Through managing the supply chain, sourcing, and importing materials worldwide, he developed not only a keen eye for quality but also a sophisticated understanding of global logistics. This extensive experience led Hardy to pursue a degree in Supply Chain Management, amplifying his expertise in cost efficiency and procurement. He subsequently contracted with major companies, helping them reduce expenses on goods and services while maintaining high standards.

While managing his business career, Hardy invested in his passion for real estate. Over the years, he purchased several revenue-generating properties, which he skillfully renovated and sold in the thriving BC real estate market. This hands-on involvement in property construction and maintenance gave him invaluable insight into home construction, renovation, and investment—a foundation that would later enrich his career as a REALTOR®.

Hardy’s love for British Columbia began early. Starting at the age of six, he spent countless summers camping in Osoyoos, the Okanagan, and his cherished Shuswap Lake, long before houseboats or lakefront homes became common sights. These formative experiences instilled in him a profound appreciation for the natural beauty and adventurous lifestyle of the area. His childhood memories inspired him to buy his first recreational property in 1999 at Eagle Bay, a place where he could share the joys of waterfront living with his family, echoing the idyllic summers of his youth.

In 2009, Hardy turned his passion for real estate into a full-time career, becoming a REALTOR® on the West Coast and Fraser Valley areas. Over the years, he has achieved numerous accolades and sold over 400 homes, helping countless clients realize their own dreams of homeownership. In 2020, Hardy took another significant step by purchasing a homestead in the Shuswap, allowing him to work full-time as a REALTOR® in the Thompson/Okanagan region, backed by a fantastic team dedicated to client satisfaction.

Nella Maier is a licensed REALTOR® with the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board (GVREB), specializing in servicing clients throughout the Lower Mainland. Her expertise and commitment to client care complement Hardy’s experience, allowing them to offer comprehensive real estate services across both the Lower Mainland and the Interior. Hardy holds his license with the Interior board (AoIR), enabling him to serve clients in the Thompson/Okanagan region as well as the Lower Mainland. Together, they provide seamless support for buyers and sellers in both markets.

Today, Hardy and Nella invite others to discover the rich lifestyle opportunities that the area has to offer. From breathtaking waterfronts to year-round outdoor adventures, they believe in the magic of living in a place where every season brings new excitement. Whether you're interested in purchasing a family home, a recreational property, or an investment, Hardy and Nella’s combined expertise and dedication ensure a seamless and rewarding real estate experience.

As his mother always said, "Go play outside!" Hardy and Nella both embody this spirit, living and working in one of Canada's most scenic regions, ready to help others find their place in its beauty.
