Providing People With the Best Place to Live and Work.

About Us

About Porte

Real estate has been Porte’s focus since 1968. It’s a labour of love to build communities and enrich lives.

Porte’s founder, Hershey Porte, launched our company as a real estate brokerage. And he quickly grew it from there into residential and commercial development and real estate ownership. His success was thanks, in large part, to his remarkable sense of integrity. Today, we focus on developing, owning and managing properties. We started with a focus on Metro Vancouver and have expanded into Victoria and Calgary.

It’s been quite the journey to bring to life incredible places to live and work. Our growth over the last few decades has immersed us in many facets of real estate, which expands our knowledge and inspires us to be better. Porte has thrived throughout market cycles, trends and business landscapes. We’ve learned a lot about what people need and want in a home or commercial space. And along the way, we’ve never lost sight of who we are — people focused, committed to excellence, trustworthy and community builders.

Our team at Porte is enthusiastic about creating the backdrops for memories — not only for homeowners, business owners and tenants, but for ourselves, too. We’re a group of ambitious people doing great work. We take what we do seriously, and there’s no lack of fun while we work.

Porte Promises

We’ve invested a lot of time and thought into forming our set of beliefs. They’ve been fine-tuned over the years, but their essence has remained the same. And when we pair them with action, we create change and uplift lives. These are the promises we’ll hold strong today and tomorrow.

1

People Focused. We are passionate about our people. We encourage personal growth, achievement and fun while we work. We care about the people we work with and treat our co-workers, customers and suppliers fairly and with respect.

2

Committed to Excellence. We are dedicated to excellence in our work. Our criteria for personal service and quality are non-negotiable. We deliver to our exacting standards and don’t stop until we get it right.

3

Trustworthy. Our company is built on a solid foundation of trust and long term relationships. We have been successful over the years because we are guided by ethics and honesty in everything we do.

4

Community Builders. We create places where people love to live, work and play. We are committed to strengthening the communities we work in so they last for generations. We are humbled to be able to support people and charities in every location we do business.
