Brian Ogilvie

Associate Broker | EOS Integrator

Brian has worked his way through the company since 2010, first starting as a Rental Property Manager, then helping develop the company as Director of Operations. Working closely with the Managing Brokers/owners of Duttons, Brian now functions as Associate Broker/Integrator, working daily to bring all the leaders of different functions/dept’s together and towards company goals.

His main role is to be the expert on implementing the concepts, tools and principals of both the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and the Richard Robbins International (RRI) sales training – two business frameworks employed throughout Duttons. At times that means coaching & mentoring staff, while also helping develop and execute big strategic goals with the owners.

Brian holds a Broker license in BC and is also licensed in Rental Property Management and Strata Management. His organizational, time-management and communication skills help ensure our leaders can track the many complex details of our property portfolio. In a detail-oriented business, these skills are obviously critical to ensure our property owner’s interests are well looked after.

Brian studied marketing at Camosun College and International Management at the University of Lethbridge but his travels and work experience abroad are what allowed him to gain an international perspective to business. He lived and studied in France and also worked in corporate communications and investor relations for a large corporation in Calgary. Finally, he obtained an internship at the Canadian Consulate in Seattle and worked in the treasury department of a Fortune 500 foreign exchange company before joining Duttons.

Born and raised in Victoria, now with his own young family and investments in property, Brian also has an intimate knowledge of the city. A lifelong learner and detail-oriented, he is continually working to improve our systems as well as leaders for the benefit of our clients.
