Personal Background

 I am married to Danielle who is originally from Cape Breton and we have 2 daughters. We live in Stratford PEI and live on a golf course but we don't get a chance to golf a great deal but get to see how many people actually cheat at golf. We are busy with our family life of dance lessons, swimming lessons, skating, music etc. In our spare time we enjoy camping, board games, movies , travel and spending time with our family at our family cottage which ironically is only a 2 minute drive from our house.

Personal Interests

I do enjoy spending time with my family, cooking dinner, downhill skiing, travelling and going out to eat at the many great places to eat in Charlottetown with friends. Some of the places we like to go are St James' Gate, Sim's Corner Steakhouse, East Side Mario's, Boston Pizza , The Pilot House and The Merchantman Pub...plus many others.

We also enjoy the many events that occur in Charlottetown at the Confederation Centre of the Arts and the various events that occur in Charlottetown which can be found here.

I am getting more involved with social media with blogging and various sites such as Facebook, Twitter, ActiveRain and enjoy Itunes, HDTV...ok I am a bit of a geek...but I see the advantage of how some of these tools work.

Give Your House A Home Page

We utilize many tools within our website and one of them is providing your home with its own distinct web address that we market with print, online and with sign riders. www.123MainSt.com is an example of how it will point directly to your home and with the right pictures we can show your home 24 hours a day - 7 days a week..when they come in...they will be coming for their second viewing.

We utilize Google Adwords, Streetview and pride ourselves in providing the best marketing for your property.

Professional Interests

I have been involved in various other parts of the real estate industry. I have served on committees and on the board of the  PEI Real Estate Association, President of the Atlantic Broker Council of Century 21 Offices, member of the National Advertising Board for Century 21 Canada and I am a past president of the PEI Mortgage Lender's Association.

Professional Background

I have grown up in the real estate industry with my father, John, being the original owner of Century 21 Colonial Realty. I joined as a sales associate in 1991. I took a leave in the mid 90's and was involved in the hospitality industry in sales, marketing and management. In 1998 I returned to the real estate business full time with sales and appraisals. In 2000 I became the manager of Century 21 Colonial Realty and became an owner in 2007.  I believe in the people that I represent and the ones that represent me.
Century 21 Colonial Realty also offers a full service residential appraisal business servicing all of PEI. If you require professional accredited appraisal services please contact me at joel.ives@century21.ca

Community Involvement

 I believe that if you make your living in your community, you need to give back. Presently I serve on the following committees:

Town of Stratford Economic Development Committee

Board Member of Children's Wish Foundation of PEI

Member of Federal Judicial Advisory Committee for PEI

I was awarded the Liz Coady Award by the PEI Real Estate Association for 2008 for community involvement, giving back to my industry and high standards.
