"Thank you Naomi for the great job you did selling our home. In a tough Real Estate market, you were able to sell our house in a short amount of time and at almost listing price! We appreciate your sincere efforts in marketing our home and providing us with timely updates. You were always accessible, prompt, kind, and very professional. We would highly recommend you to anyone. All the professionals that you recommended to us were amazing. Thanks for making the process of selling our home so smooth and quick!"
About My Business
The Big Picture...
My ultimate goal as a REALTOR® is to create a smooth and enjoyable buying or selling experience for my clients. I do this by easing the stress and confusion associated with the transaction, by familiarizing them with the process and by utilizing my extensive market knowledge and expertise in negotiations. From our first meeting through to the day we accomplish your real estate objective, you will feel comfortable and confident throughout! See "offerings" below..
How I got started...
Beginning my real estate career in 2004, I seized the opportunity to work as a Licensed Real Estate Associate working in a busy team of REALTORS®. This apprenticeship provided me invaluable knowledge and experience in helping both buyers and sellers navigate the busy 2005-2007 market. Our award winning team had the #1 real estate website in Victoria, and the two agents I worked under had a total of 38 years of experience. I gained a vast amount of expertise working with a diverse array of clientele - from local first time buyers to experienced out-of-town investors. From acreages to condos, heritage properties to pre-construction sales, assisting with the sale of all types of properties allowed me to fast-track my skills in providing service and results. Now in my fourth year of business, I am happy to be making new client connections almost every day!
And now...
In July 2007, I started to grow my own real estate business, working out of our downtown Royal LePage Coast Capital office. My service team now includes:
Amanda Palubiski, Administrator. Having Amanda to take care of administrative tasks associated with listings and transactions, allows me more time to service my listings and buyers and be in direct communication with my clientele.
Kelly Leach, Independent Licensed Coverage REALTOR®. Working hand-in-hand with Kelly allows my clients to access a consistent level of service 365 days of the year.
Also on my team, is a vast array of professionals including trusted lawyers, talented stagers, meticulous building inspectors and dedicated mortgage specialists.
**In 2008 I placed in the top 20% of all Real Estate Agents in Victoria, and won the President's Gold Award for Sales Achievement.**
Most of my business comes from referrals from family, friends and past clients who have been thrilled with my service. Here are some of their words:
"You've really gone above what we expected from you and we will not hesitate to recommend you to our friends."
"You are always so organized, and very thorough which I like!"
"House hunting with you was just so stress free... you have such a beautiful talent in all the aspects of your job."
"We were thrilled with your work as our realtor and are bragging about you to those in our building."
"Thanks so much for solving our condo issues! You always come through for us :)" (Post Sale)
Fun Stuff...
To thank my clients and those that introduced my clients to me, I held a draw last year where I gave away a trip for two to Mexico!! This year I will be giving away a travel prize of a similar value (to be announced soon) so that I can say thank you for the loyalty of all those who support my business!
Plus, when you work with me, not only do you successfully accomplish your real estate objectives - you also get to join the fast growing network of past clients and professionals who enjoy the following perks:
- Client appreciation parties (at least twice per year)
- Thoughtful gifts at closing
- Helpful seminars on investing, buying etc
- A celebratory atmosphere all the way through the transaction and beyond...

About Me
I had the absolute privilege of growing up on beautiful Vancouver Island, just 45 minutes North of Victoria in Mill Bay. I also spent time living on the Sunshine Coast, in Vancouver and in Ottawa, where I completed my B.A in Psychology.
Before becoming a REALTOR®, I worked for over 5 years in customer service, gaining valuable experience in both retail management and in banking.
When I am not at my office, I am usually enjoying the beautiful beaches and walking trails near my home in Latoria Walk, Colwood. Relationships with family and friends, and a healthy lifestyle are important to me, as I value balance in my life. Laughter always plays a key role in my day. If it isn't over a coffee with a friend, it's while catching the occasional comedy or playing with my three constantly entertaining cats.
I always enjoy meeting new people, so please feel free to get in touch!
