Cory originated from Ontario where he has a large family throughout the province. Relatives reside in Mississauga, Ottawa, Toronto, Barrie, Peterborough, Kingston, Belleville, and Grimsby.
He is an alumnus of Western University with a Bachelor of Social Sciences, specializing in International Relations and he has three younger, incredibly talented, siblings. Cory is a second-generation Realtor. His father, Chris Hand, has been buying and selling Real Estate in the Toronto market for nearly 30 years.
Cory moved from Ontario to Alberta in early 2012 looking for adventure and chasing the winter spirit. He is a lover of the outdoors and downhill skiing. His journey took him to Banff, Canmore, on to Jasper as a raft guide, and then over the ocean for two years in Australia before he finally returned to Canmore.
It is this calling that connects him with his clients so closely, taking the care to find and cherish every detail that makes the story of their home so special or helping new lovers of the Bow Valley find the mountain home of their dreams.
