Victoria Home Buyer Guide

Buying in Greater Victoria isn't one-size-fits-all. First-timers, move-up buyers, and downsizers all face different questions - so I built separate guides for each. Pick yours below.

Which Best Describes You?

I've been doing this since 2006. These are the four paths I see most often. Each guide covers the real costs, the actual process, and the stuff most people don't think to ask until it's too late.

🏠

First-Time Buyers

You've never owned before. You're figuring out what you can afford, how the process works, and whether now is the right time.

Move-Up & Growing Families

You own now but need more space, a better layout, or a different neighbourhood. The tricky part is coordinating the sale and purchase.

Downsizing & Rightsizing

You're ready for less maintenance, fewer stairs, or a home that fits how you live now. The decision is emotional as much as practical.

Payments & Affordability Tools

Not ready to talk yet - you just want to see what different price points look like and get a feel for monthly costs.

The Basic Framework

Every situation is different, but this is the general shape of how we'll work together.

1 Talk through your move
2 Dial in your numbers
3 Build your search
4 Tour & compare
5 Offer, negotiate & close

Not Sure Which Fits?

If you're somewhere in between - or your situation doesn't fit neatly into one box - a short call can help sort it out. No pressure, no scripts.
