Ian

Ian McSporran

CO-OWNER | BROKER

Ian began his real estate career as an estate agent in the UK before relocating to Canada, where he has proudly served the Burlington area since 1982. With decades of experience and deep local knowledge, Ian is known for his straightforward, no-pressure approach — offering honest guidance that helps clients feel confident and supported in their decisions.

Over the years, Ian has built strong, lasting relationships within the community, with more than 80% of his business each year coming from past clients and referrals. This speaks to the trust he’s earned and the care he brings to every interaction. For Ian, real estate is never about pushing a sale — it’s about helping people navigate important life transitions with clarity and integrity.

Ian is blessed with a wonderful family, including his three married adult children — twin daughters and a son — and nine cherished grandchildren. He values time spent with family and remains deeply connected to the community he has served for over four decades.

Abi

Abi Glugosh

CO-OWNER | SALES REPRESENTATIVE

Originally from the UK, Abi immigrated to Canada in 1990 and began her real estate career in 2005. With a strong background in the corporate world, she brings a thoughtful, strategic approach to every client relationship — balanced by an easy-going, approachable manner that instantly puts people at ease.

Whether clients are buying their first home, moving up to accommodate a growing family, or downsizing into the next chapter, Abi is known for her insight, steady guidance, and genuine care throughout the process. She believes real estate is, at its core, about people, and her commitment to exceptional customer service remains her highest priority.

Abi lives in Burlington with her husband, David, and is proud to be surrounded by family — including her two grown children, Ethan and Alex, her son-in-law Joe, and her beloved grandchild. Outside of real estate, she enjoys travelling, bike rides, and spending meaningful time with those she loves.

Laura

Laura Vandette

SALES REPRESENTATIVE

As a native of Sault Ste. Marie, it didn’t take Laura very long to fall in love with Hamilton – first as a renter in 2011, then as a proud homeowner in its Crown Point neighbourhood since 2014. Now, Laura’s goal is to make sure every person who chooses Hamilton has the same positive experience as she and her husband have had since calling the city home. Laura has more than 11 years of experience in the Real Estate industry, from interior design to helping Real Estate brokers recruit quality agents, to investing in rental properties and now buying and selling homes for clients as a licensed sales representative.

In her free time, Laura enjoys gardening, spending time with her two pups, and she and her husband enjoy seeing more of the beautiful country by motorcycle or exploring beyond Canada’s borders.

With over a decade of experience in the real estate industry, she brings a well-rounded and thoughtful approach to every client relationship.

Andrew Henry

Sales Representative

Andrew Henry has been helping people buy and sell homes since 2004, bringing over two decades of experience and a calm, straight-talking approach that clients consistently rely on. A proud husband and father of four, Andrew understands what’s truly at stake when a family makes a move — and that perspective shapes everything about how he works.

Since calling Burlington home in 2011, Andrew has built deep roots across the Oakville–Burlington–Hamilton region and surrounding communities. He’s known for honest guidance, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to getting his clients the right outcome.

Outside of real estate, Andrew serves as Vice-Commander and Coxswain with the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary unit OMSAR, coaches minor hockey in Burlington with BGHC and BLOMHA, and still laces up in a men’s league himself.
