What Mountain Country does
Mountain Country Property Management Ltd. is a privately held, licensed property management brokerage founded in 2001 and headquartered in Whistler's Function Junction neighborhood. The firm provides full-service long-term rental management — covering financial, operating, and administrative functions including tenant screening, advertising, lease preparation, collections, and maintenance coordination — for condominiums, townhouses, single-family homes, and executive properties across the Sea to Sky Corridor (Whistler, Pemberton, and Squamish, British Columbia). Property rental rates range from approximately $2,000 to $12,500 per month depending on property type and size.
The company operates with 1-10 employees and is licensed and bonded under the Real Estate Services Act via the BC Financial Services Authority, with all rents and deposits processed through regulated Trust accounts. Beyond individual property owners, Mountain Country holds management contracts for institutional portfolios including the Whistler Housing Authority, Whistler Valley Housing Society (20 townhouses and 30 apartment units for essential service workers), and Squamish Community Housing Society, as well as corporate employee accommodation services. Its technology stack is minimal — a Wix-hosted website with online property listings, a tenant application portal, and an email newsletter — with no proprietary platform, API, or app.
Revenue is generated through management fees charged to property owners, with rates quoted on a per-property basis by Senior Property Manager Victoria Shilston and not publicly disclosed. The firm markets through its website, email alerts, Facebook, and direct outreach, and does not have any disclosed funding, parent company, or M&A activity.
