Meet Our Team

Melanie Erickson

With more than 30 years of customer service experience and a passion for helping people, Melanie Erickson brings honesty, dedication, and a down-to-earth approach to every real estate transaction. Before becoming a REALTOR®, she built a successful career as a chef, event planner, business owner, and community volunteer, giving her exceptional organizational skills and the ability to navigate even the most complex situations with confidence.

Known for building lasting relationships, Melanie believes that clients often become lifelong friends. She is committed to providing straightforward advice, strong negotiation skills, and unwavering integrity while helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals.

When she's away from work, you'll usually find Melanie on the water with her dragon boat team, volunteering in the community, travelling, or dreaming up her next adventure. She treasures every opportunity to visit her children and grandchildren, who live away but remain at the heart of everything she does. At home, life is happily shared with her husband, Derek, and their two cats. She loves everything Vancouver Island has to offer and is proud to call Campbell River home.

As co-founder of Pacific Roots Real Estate Group, Melanie's goal is simple: make sure every client feels informed, supported, and confident — from the first conversation to the final handshake.

Cindy loyst

Born and raised in Campbell River and the Comox Valley, Cindy Loyst has deep roots in the communities she proudly serves. Her lifelong connection to Vancouver Island gives her an intimate understanding of the neighbourhoods, lifestyle, and people that make this region so special.

Before beginning her career in real estate, Cindy spent many years as a dedicated nurse, developing the compassion, patience, and strong advocacy skills that continue to define her approach today. She believes every client deserves honest advice, clear communication, and someone who genuinely listens to their needs.

When she's not helping clients, you'll likely find Cindy tending to her beautiful gardens, spending time with her horses, or making memories with her three grown children and cherished grandchildren. Her love of family, the outdoors, and her community shines through in everything she does.

Whether you're buying your first home, searching for acreage, or selling a family property, Cindy brings the same care to your search that she brings to her own garden and land — patient, hands-on, and rooted in what matters.
