Angie Yellowlees has lived in Bolton and the surrounding area for nearly 40 years and knows the community like the back of her hand. Angie was a self-employed paralegal and conveyancer for over 30 years. In 2010, she became our full time real estate clerk, but for as long as she can remember, she has worked alongside us and been a friendly face for many a client.
In her off-time, Angie enjoys gardening, reading, movies, and travelling the world with her loving husband. She and the family also enjoy spending time with their adoring pets; their shepherd, Dexter, their mini poodle, Sadie, and their two cats, Milo and Tucker.
Barbara grew up in Downsview, Toronto and moved to Bolton in 1978 with her husband.
After working at Kodak Canada Inc. in Toronto for 13 years, Barbara decided to be a stay-at-home mom for her two children (who are now secondary school teachers), working part-time for businesses around the community.
Barbara re-entered the market working for Robert Palmateer at Palmateer & Muise in 2007 (later to become Palmateer & Nicol Professional Corporation in 2017) as our receptionist and is our current legal assistant for real estate law, wills and estate planning, and corporate law.
In Barb's spare time, she enjoys sports, reading, and walking their Wheaton Terrier, Finnegan.

Prior to working with Robert Palmateer, Chandler Nicol interned and completed his articles at a small sized firm in the GTA, where his interest in litigation piqued. His focus has shifted to transactional work, where he can meet with his clients and provide face-to-face quality services and provide peace of mind.
Like Robert Palmateer, Chandler is a member of the Bolton Rotary where he can contribute positive development and support in the community and help service Bolton's needs whenever possible. He is also active in local, provincial, and federal politics, volunteering or campaigning whenever he can afford the time to do so, or helping out at soup kitchens in Toronto for the hungry and less fortunate.
Chandler Nicol was born and raised in Maple, Ontario. His father worked as an optometrist in Bolton for over 40 years so he spent many a day in the community. During his time off, Chandler loves to watch sports, drive, grow his garden, play video games, soccer, ski, and fish. He is also very fond of music.
Chandler Nicol joined Bob in 2017 from a Toronto law firm where he had been practicing litigation. Wanting a new challenge Chandler changed course from litigation to real estate, small businesses, wills and estates, with Bob mentoring him along the way.
