Meet Cory Hand

Canmore & Bow Valley Real Estate Specialist


Originally from Ontario, Cory Hand comes from a large, close-knit family spread across the province — from Mississauga and Ottawa to Toronto, Barrie, and beyond. Raised with strong family values and a deep appreciation for community, Cory carries that same spirit into his work today.

A graduate of Western University with a Bachelor of Social Sciences in International Relations, Cory is one of four siblings — all uniquely talented in their own right. He also happens to be a second-generation Realtor®️, following in the footsteps of his father, Chris Hand, a respected figure in the Toronto real estate market for nearly 30 years.

“I remember watching my dad hustle to build his business,” Cory recalls. “He once made marketing flyers shaped like sticks of dynamite — complete with red cardboard tubes and black pipe-cleaner fuses. I helped deliver them door-to-door when I was a kid. It was fun… and it made an impact.”
To this day, Cory and his father remain close, regularly connecting to swap insights and strategies about their respective markets.

In 2012, Cory followed his adventurous spirit westward to Alberta, drawn by a love for the outdoors and the call of the mountains. From Banff to Canmore, then north to Jasper as a raft guide — even a stint living in Australia — Cory’s journey eventually brought him back to the Bow Valley, a place he proudly calls home.

“Like so many, I felt the pull of the Rockies the moment I left. The mountains have a way of calling you back.”


That deep connection to place is something Cory brings to every client relationship. Whether helping long-time locals share the story of their home or guiding new arrivals in finding the perfect mountain retreat, he approaches each opportunity with care, insight, and dedication.

When he's not working, you'll likely find Cory skiing, golfing, road biking, or off on an adventure with friends and his rescue dog, Jenny — always embracing the outdoor lifestyle that makes the Bow Valley so special.
