Our Team

Our Office Administrator Lisa, began her professional career as a restaurant manager and has been in customer service in a managerial capacity for the better part of her working years. As a student at Mohawk College, Lisa graduated with honors from the Executive Office Administration program and was fortunate enough to participate in a work placement program with a large industrial firm, as well as do some part time administrative work in a financial services office.
 
When Lisa is not working she can usually be found on the patio reading a good book with an iced coffee in hand. Lisa has a love for travel and experiencing different cultures and communities with her husband Giorgio and the rest of her family.

Lisa loves working at Hanlyn because she feels such a strong sense of community, a community where we do our best to give back whenever we can. We are truly Hamiltonians in every sense of the word and want to be productive members of our community for many years to come.
Lisa looks forward to meeting both investors and tenants and welcoming them to our community with a smile.
 

During his studies at McMaster University, where he obtained his Bachelors of Psychology, Cory took an interest in the local real estate market, shortly after cementing his passion as a real estate investor. Over the course of the next 10 years, Cory would perfect various investment strategies via the acquisition, and re-development of more than 30 properties.

In 2016, Cory partnered with Dave to create Hanlyn as it exists today. As a Licensed General Contractor within the City of Hamilton, he is responsible for the execution and supervision of all large scale permit projects conducted under the Hanlyn umbrella.

investigative roles for 18 years. During his policing career, Dave honed his interpersonal and mediation skills while
gaining valuable knowledge with regards to the Residential Tenancies Act, Municipal By-Laws and the Criminal Code.

In 1998, Dave bought his first investment property and never looked back. During his 20 years of investing in real
estate, Dave has owned residential, mixed use and commercial properties throughout Southwestern Ontario.

In 2014, Dave founded Hanlyn Property Management Ltd. Since it's inception, Hanlyn has experienced increasing
demand, which has necessitated a growing team of professionals. Dave's current responsibilities include the
