Our Team
At Playground, work and play are virtually inseparable. We live it, we love it. We bring high performance and a sense of fun to everything we do. While we have a very disciplined and focused approach to the logic side of our business, the sales and marketing of resort real estate, the magic is what sets us apart. Our team of Sales Specialists know Whistler inside and out. Let them be your guide as you explore the possibility of owning a home in Whistler.
Bob Styan
604-935-4533|bstyan@playground.com
As Director of Sales for Playground Real Estate, Bob has been a licensed realtor in BC since 1993.
As Director of Sales with Playground and Intrawest over the past 15 years Bob's real estate career has spanned all points north, south, east and west with the company in addition to several third party developers throughout Central and North America.
As a licensed realtor since 1993 Bob began selling and launching real estate in Whistler Village and the Blackcomb Benchland's at that time. Bob recently returned to rejoin the Playground Real Estate Inc., Whistler team and lead the Evolution sales campaign into the 2010 season.
Bob brings both international and local sales and management experience as a sales person and manager to the Whistler team in addition to a lifelong personal connection with Whistler. Since having visited Whistler for the first time in 1965 "My first memory of driving to Squamish/Whistler was that the pavement completely ended at Brohm Ridge and it was only rough gravel from there to Whistler, it has been amazing to see it evolve ever since".
Bob grew up in a North Vancouver ski family in the 1960's on Grouse Mountain so skiing and the outdoors has been a part of his family ever since. Bob was also a member of the Canadian Men's Alpine Ski team from 1979 to 1983. Whistler Creek holds a very special connection for Bob having competed in Nor-Am and World Cup Downhill races on the Dave Murray downhill course into Creekside in the 70's and 80's. "I am especially looking forward to the Olympics after 40 years of anticipation it is finally going to become a reality and will be the crowning moment for Whistler and Creekside".
"I've travelled around the world to some of the greatest resorts throughout my life and to this day still look forward to coming home to Whistler and the Coast mountains of BC. As Vancouverites we take Whistler for granted as it has always been in our background. In my opinion there is no better time to own real estate in Whistler than today when you look at everything Whistler has to offer compared to any other resort community in the world".
Outside of work Bob enjoys fly fishing, off road motorcycling and has a passion for cars and dogs that goes back to his childhood and when not working you can usually find Bob pursuing one of these activities. "And yes I still ski, but prefer to choose my days for when it is sunny and groomed. That way I still have to wait for my friends and not have to have them wait for me."

Eric enjoys helping people find the right resort property for their family.
Eric joined Playground in 2003 as an Application Developer at head office in Vancouver and shifted gears to sales in February 2008. Born and raised in Richmond, Eric enjoyed coming up to Whistler (albeit a "Weekend Warrior") since he was very young. Finally getting to work and play in Whistler is a dream come true. Eric enjoys helping people and finding the right property for your family in one of the world's premier playgrounds is his goal.
When away from the office, Eric spends as much time as he can with his son Tyler and wife Michelle. Eric also enjoys traveling (Hawaii, Europe and soon to be Disney Land!), skiing, hiking, biking and home renovations. Both he and his wife love the outdoors so the move up to the mountains from the city has been a welcome change!
