Steve Berezan has been actively purchasing real estate since 1988. Initially targeting residential homes, Steve quickly found his niche purchasing commercial properties related to the hospitality industry. In 1990, the hospitality division of the Berezan family group of companies (www.berezanhg.com) was established with the purchase of the first hospitality property and business. Since then, the Berezan groups hospitality division has grown to the current number of three pubs, ten liquor stores, a ski resort, a hostel, a community gaming center and a catering facility. Berezan hospitality group currently comprises more than 200 team members.
Steve has been active in seeking out and negotiating the purchase of additional real estate opportunities for Berezan Management (www.berezan.ca). As the number of acquisitions increased, Steve recognized his passion to follow this format for success and established Stonewater Properties Inc. in 2005.
In addition to mentorship and experience in the family company Steve credits the Vancouver Chapter of the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO) as an invaluable professional and personal resource for his development as a successful entrepreneur. An active member since 2001, Steve has held board positions as Education Chair for two years, accelerator program, President and Past President. Steve is also currently a member of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO).
