Doug Gillis, Broker, Collingwood, ON

Prior to joining the real estate industry, Doug Gillis had a successful career in yacht building and repair in Toronto. He sold his first business to C&C Yachts and when they met their demise in 1987, Doug re-acquired the business from receivers, Cooper & Lybrand. After restructuring the company, he sold it once again to an English consortium in October of 1989.

Doug’s love for skiing and cycling initially drew him to the Georgian Triangle area, and after 25 successful years in the marine industry, he made the decision to relocate to Collingwood. With his knowledge of marine construction and contracting, real estate sales were a natural progression. After so many years in the yacht business, he began to think that one of the greatest things about being involved with houses and property was the fact that they didn’t sink, explode, or end up adrift.

Since joining the real estate industry in 1991, Doug has been actively involved in over 1, 100 sales and purchases (as of December 31, 2014), both residential and commercial, in Collingwood, Town of the Blue Mountains and the surrounding area. Between 1991 and 2014, he has achieved a sales volume in excess of $352, 000, 000 (as of December 31, 2014).
