After growing up in Victoria, I spent a number of years in Vancouver prior to heading overseas for an extended stay in Japan. I returned seven years ago to take care of my father, and am really excited to embark on what I believe is one of the most important roles in the capital; helping people put down roots. Victoria is, in my opinion, the best place to live anywhere.
Like many others, I was not born in Victoria; I came here as a youngster with my family (from Ireland). The entire process of viewing and buying a home was a monumental and memorable one, and was so impressive it influenced me to spend a spell in Tokyo's highly specialized expat real estate market during my 24-year stay there.
In my opinion, securing a home is one of the greatest contributors to a person's sense of stability and security; it gives people the foundation (both literally and figuratively) from which to grow and build the other components of their lives. Its importance cannot be overstated. It is also one of the most rewarding experiences for many people.
I'm here to contribute to the success of such pivotal moments, and to make them as memorable as possible.
