Real estate that strengthens the community

When you work with us, your move helps support schools and families across Greater Victoria.

Giving back is not a marketing add on for us. It is a core motivator. We believe that doing the right thing should be built into the work, and real estate is a powerful place to do that because so many people move through it. Our goal is simple: create real, practical support for local schools and for families with students, while also reducing waste by rehoming useful items.

If you are a buyer or seller who values community, this is a way to make your move matter. If you are another Realtor looking for a trusted referral partner in Victoria, this is also part of how we operate and how we build long term relationships.

We donate 1% of our commission to help fund field trips and school programs including music, arts, and sports.

1% back to local schools

When you buy or sell with us, we donate 1% of our commission to local schools in Greater Victoria. This support helps fund the extras that make a real difference for kids and families, including field trips, classroom enrichment, and programs such as music, arts, and sports.

We created this initiative because school communities are always working hard to do more with limited budgets. Strong schools help create strong neighbourhoods, and that benefits everyone. We want buyers and sellers to feel good about the team they chose, because your transaction is helping kids stay engaged, included, and supported.

How it feels in real life

It is the field trip that a class can finally afford. It is the art and music program that stays alive. It is the sports team that does not have to cut corners. It is the quiet support behind the scenes that helps kids be kids.

If you would like, tell me which school matters most to you and we will do our best to route support where it helps. The goal is consistent local impact, month after month.

Rehoming programs for families with students

Less waste, more support, and practical help that lands where it matters.

Moving creates change. People upgrade computers, clear out closets, and donate items. The problem is that useful items do not always land where they can do the most good. These two projects help bridge that gap. They focus on rehoming items responsibly, with a practical goal: support local families, especially families with students, and keep quality items in use.
