Victoria Real Estate for Great Buyers and Sellers.
Loading tip…
1% back to local schools, a community project created by Don St Germain
When you buy or sell with me, I donate 1% of my commission to local schools to help fund the extras that make childhood feel like childhood, including field trips, music, arts and sports programs, and yes, even pizza Fridays. This is my hometown and real estate in Victoria is personal, and I believe doing the right thing should be part of the process. This is my way of turning a move into something that supports our community right where we live.
Stay tuned for our first donations coming soon in early 2026, and we'll post the photos and stories here for you to enjoy.

“We were referred to Don as we were relocating from the mainland to Vancouver Island. He was very prompt, efficient and very personable. He found our forever home that fit our needs and was able to attend our home inspection as we were not able to. We would highly recommend him to our family and friends as we thought he did a wonderful job!”

Testimonials, Kind Words and Thank Yous
A handful of real reviews from real moves around Greater Victoria.
“Very optimistic. Don wasn't my first realtor for the sell, but when he started working with me he accomplished what all the others could not. I really appreciated his guidance with staging a set-up. Don St. Germain has an awesome work ethic, sense of ease, and some well placed contacts to boot. My place sold quick, above my targeted goals. Thanks Don.”
“Don helped me with the sale of my mother's home in Victoria. As I live outside of Canada, I was concerned about finding a realtor who would provide me with the support that I wanted and needed during this process. Don was amazing and fulfilled all of my expectations in an honest and ethical way, sold the home quickly and for a fair price.”
“Don has made both buying and selling homes in the Victoria area an easy task. He is a positive, down to earth person with a charming and professional attitude. During two difficult moves, Don helped answer all of my questions and provided great advice. He went out of his way to do things I didn’t even know to ask for; great guy, great experience.”
FAQ
Quick answers for Victoria buyers & sellers.
How long have you been licensed as an Associate Broker/Realtor in real estate?
I successfully wrote my real estate exam in the summer/early fall of 2009 and have been licensed since November 2009, for well over 16 years. I've been licensed for the full 16 years and have never surrendered or have had my license revoked. In 2024 I passed my Associate Broker exam with flying colours.
I read that you're an Associate Broker, what's the difference from a Realtor?
The key difference is that "Realtor" signifies professional membership, while "Associate Broker" denotes a considerably higher license level with advanced education, allowing me to supervise agents and handle complex transactions. As an Associate Broker, I have the education and licensing required to manage my own real estate brokerage (and if so, I take the title of Managing Broker).
Have you always been a realtor with Sotheby's International Realty Canada or have you worked at any other brokerages?
I have been with Sotheby's since my first day in real estate, and have never had any reason to look elsewhere. In fact, I'm the longest running agent with Sotheby's here in Victoria. Realtors often switch brokerages, as often as every few years, perhaps to "find what's missing" and to try and fix their business, but I've had no need to do this.
Are you full time, or are you part time and have to split up your work schedule between another career?
My real estate career is full time, and I don't disappear or go "missing in action" suddenly for a week. By having myself available full time, I am able to work with all types of properties and be readily available for my clients.
Do you work across all of Greater Victoria?
Yes! I help clients across all of Greater Victoria, including Sidney to Sooke and Shawnigan Lake and all in between. I have helped clients buy and sell properties up and down Vancouver Island and am very familiar with the island's different cities, districts and neighbourhoods.
