Meet the faces behind our everyday work
About Me-Noah
I am an Assistant at Coastal Rainforest, supporting our team with strata coordination, communication, and day-to-day operations. I hold a Business Diploma, which helps me bring strong organizational and professional skills to every community we manage.
I am also fluent in Japanese, allowing me to support a wider range of clients and provide clear communication when needed.
Outside of work, I love to fly — it keeps me focused, disciplined, and always aiming higher. I bring that same mindset and dedication into the work I do every day.
About Me — Nicole, Rental Manager
Hi, I’m Nicole! I manage the rental side of Coastal Rainforest, and I’m passionate about creating a smooth experience for both tenants and property owners. I handle everything from leasing and tenant communication to coordinating repairs and making sure each property is well cared for.
I believe in being fair, organized, and easy to reach. Whether it’s helping someone find their next home or supporting an owner with their investment, I always do my best to keep things running stress-free.
Outside of work, I love getting outside on local trails, trying new cafés, and spending time with the people I care about.
About Me — Joe Szeman, President, Managing Broker & Accountant
I am the President, Managing Broker, and Accountant here at Coastal Rainforest. I have been a CPA, CMA for 16 years. My background mixes science, finance, and operations, which helps me look at problems from different angles and keeps our company running efficiently.
I grew up in Chilliwack, and those early years in the Fraser Valley shaped who I am today. I’m outdoors almost every day — usually in the forest — because being in nature helps me reset, think clearly, and stay grounded. I’m also a big believer in lifelong learning and try to learn something new every single day.
Sports have always been part of my life. I spent over 10 years playing baseball and soccer, and the teamwork and discipline from those years still guide how I work and lead. Outside of the office, I enjoy playing tennis, exercising, jogging, and taking my dog around town.
I’m proud to help lead Coastal Rainforest and support the communities we work with across the region.
About Me — Collin Stan, Licensed Strata Manager Hi, I’m Collin. I’ve been a licensed strata manager since 2007, and I’m passionate about helping strata communities run smoothly, stay organized, and feel supported. With many years of experience, I’ve learned the importance of clear communication and being there when people need assistance.
I’m known for being hard-working, reliable, and always willing to lend a hand — whether it’s assisting council or guiding owners through complex issues.
Outside of work, I like to bike ride, long walks, staying active, and enjoying music.
I’m proud to be part of Coastal Rainforest and to bring my experience and dedication to the communities we manage.
