JOSH BUCHANAN
Born and raised in Saskatchewan, Josh spent much of his childhood playing sports and spending time with friends and family. He completed his Bachelor of Arts degree with honours in Business Economics from the University of Saskatchewan in 2011 and since then has also completed his Property Manager Real Estate Certification as well as his Business Consulting Certification.
Josh is the employee who found a way to improve every company he worked for, the guy who friends turn to when they need help with a resumé or money management, and the real estate blogger that Saskatoon turns to for objective and honest real estate analysis.
After graduating from University, Josh mostly worked in the real estate industry as a property manager where he managed a portfolio consisting of residential and commercial properties. Most recently, Josh was a college business instructor in Regina at the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technology teaching subjects including: Microeconomics, Human Resources, Entrepreneurship, Business Law, and Personal Finance.
From 2013 to 2022, Josh was an international nomad. He has spent a total of 5 years in 30 different countries, living out of a backpack as a tourist, volunteer, student, and teacher, which allowed him to acquire an abundance of valuable life experience.
Josh's resourcefulness and financial savviness have allowed him to spend more of his time creating lasting life experiences and less time in the rat race. He has taken Mandarin lessons in Taiwan, Spanish lessons in Ecuador, boxing lessons in the Philippines, cooking classes in Thailand, surfing lessons in Costa Rica, participated in a durian-eating contest in Indonesia, skateboarded the streets of Colombia, served as: a photographer in California, a painter in Japan, a property manager in Saskatoon, a college business instructor in Regina, an English teacher in China, a business consultant in Sri Lanka, a disaster relief volunteer in Texas, a hitchhiker in Myanmar, a chef's assistant in Mexico, has been interviewed on the radio in three different countries, and started his own corporation and sole proprietorship, all while being a real estate analyst and author of the Saskatoon Real Estate Economics Blog.
After years of travelling and gaining new knowledge and perspectives, Josh is excited to combine his education, professional experience, life experience, and natural skills to help businesses improve the way they operate.
