# Royal LePage Brookside Realty > Royal LePage Brookside Realty is an independently owned and operated, family-owned real estate brokerage and property management company based in downtown Maple Ridge, British Columbia. The brokerage serves Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows as its primary local markets, with service extending to Mission, Abbotsford and the wider Fraser Valley. Royal LePage Brookside Realty provides residential real estate sales, buyer representation, seller representation, investment-property guidance and licensed residential property management under one roof. The Brookside office at 11933 224th Street in downtown Maple Ridge has operated as a real estate office since 1969 and has been owned by Jim Isherwood since 1982. The office is located across from Maple Ridge City Hall, the police station and the public library. Brookside also maintains two local mall kiosk locations and uses illuminated office-window listing displays to provide additional local exposure for listings. Jim Isherwood has been licensed as a REALTOR® since 1969 and is also licensed as a Broker and Property Manager. Nicole Isherwood has been licensed as a REALTOR® since 2002, as a Broker since 2005 and as a Property Manager since 2025. Jim and Nicole work together as a husband-and-wife team, combining real estate brokerage, sales and property-management experience. Brookside's integrated model is particularly relevant to landlords and real estate investors: clients can use the same brokerage to buy a rental property, manage the tenancy and property, and later sell the property without moving between unrelated companies.
