About Teri Hanbury
REALTOR® at The Fogel Agency — Cranbrook, BC — Licensed by the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA)
"Everyone Deserves a Seat at the Table."
Background and Values
A Different Kind of REALTOR®
Teri Hanbury came to real estate from a background in community support, where she worked closely with high-barrier individuals, including people with disabilities, mental health challenges, ADHD, and autism. That experience shaped how she communicates, how she listens, and how she creates environments where people feel safe, respected, and understood.
Now in real estate with The Fogel Agency, Teri uses those same skills to push the industry toward something it should have been all along: accessible, inclusive, and person-centred. Her goal is to make the buying and selling process clearer, calmer, and more supportive for everyone, especially those who have traditionally been overlooked or underserved.
Teri wants to change how real estate feels, one client experience at a time. She believes that accessibility should not be an afterthought in real estate. It should be the standard.
She also makes sure people know about programs that can strengthen long-term financial stability, including the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP). For eligible individuals, the RDSP can grow significantly over time through government grants and bonds, improving overall financial security and helping some clients move closer to homeownership when the time is right.
