LETTER OF WELCOME

Thank you for thinking of Holmes Realty for your home buying and selling needs.

We’re glad you’re reading this, because it gives us an opportunity to introduce ourselves and walk you through the Holmes Realty approach to real estate. We’ve built a sterling reputation over the years as top sellers in the Greater Victoria Area & Saanich Peninsula, and as you read, you’ll understand why.

We have created this book to demystify the real estate process for you. We’ve heard from so many clients over the years that no one has ever sat them down and explained these things before. Selling your home – or buying a new one – is a deeply personal and often highly emotional event. Nobody should enter into such an important transaction feeling uninformed!

In this book, we’ll take you step by step through the buying and selling process. We’ll dispel some of the biggest myths about real estate and we’ll explain the unique selling approach of Holmes Realty. When you finish reading, we want you to feel like you’ve had many of your questions answered.

When you’re buying or selling a home, you need someone who listens to your concerns, who interprets the market well, and who looks after the myriad details involved in a real estate transaction. It’s equally important that you enjoy the experience from start to finish. That’s our commitment to you.

After reading these pages, we hope you come away with a clear understanding of the real estate process and our approach to it. We also hope you have a deeper sense of the Holmes Realty commitment: that every client deserves professional real estate advice and first-class service. It’s a commitment that’s reflected in our values, both on paper and in our day-to-day conduct.

We look forward to meeting with you to discuss your real estate needs.

With roots dating back over 100 years in real estate, Pemberton Holmes Sidney Ltd. was established at its Beacon Avenue location in 1987. Holmes Realty was established in 1999, when Michele Holmes branched off from the larger company. Her desire was to operate a smaller, more intimate business with a deep focus on client care. Holmes Realty has since become a leader in Victoria real estate and is recognized for operating with the highest ethical standards.

Our Realtors® choose to work here because of the support they receive, the values we live by, the in-depth training we offer, and our sterling commitment to client service. Many of them pride themselves on their personal contributions to the community; within our group, we have community volunteers, Rotarians, Lions Club members, and board members of the Chamber of Commerce and of the Greek Community Society.

Within our team of real estate professionals is an agent who matches each unique client’s profile and needs. An agent who listens. An agent who works hard. An agent who asks the right questions – and can find you the right answers.
