About Rhys

Rhys Cartwright began his career at Avison Young in 2021 as a Market Intelligence Coordinator before transitioning into a client-facing role alongside top office producer Glenn Gardner. He quickly distinguished himself earning Avison Young Vancouver's Rookie of the Year award in 2024 and being appointed the office's Emerging Leader ambassador that same year.

Known for his professionalism, work ethic, and reliability, Rhys has built a strong reputation among clients and colleagues alike. He specializes in tenant and landlord representation, delivering expert guidance, responsive communication, and sharp strategy execution. Qualities consistently reflected in client testimonials and Client Advisory Success features.

Rhys has been involved in several high-profile lease transactions with national and international tenants and represents a number of notable Vancouver office occupiers. Beyond his deal work, Rhys has taken an active role in shaping the culture at Avison Young, co-hosting a Morning Conversation event with Mark Hannah, Managing Director of Nicola Wealth Real Estate, as part of his broader contributions as Emerging Leader.

“Throughout the relocation process Rhys demonstrated a very strong understanding of his respective office markets and was thorough and diligent on our behalf. In addition, the Avison Young team added significant value to other business considerations that were not directly related to bricks and mortar. Their knowledge of our business process and the importance of securing a space that complements our team was invaluable as we navigated the relocation process. From start to finish, we were exceedingly impressed with Rhys’ work ethic, professionalism, and ability to navigate challenges faced throughout the process. At all times we were confident Avison Young were advocating in Smallworks’ best interest. Without reservation, I would recommend Rhys as a trusted, capable real estate advisor to other prospective office user groups looking to lease office real estate.”
