Buying a Home
Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, or investing in property, purchasing real estate is a major milestone — and we’re here to make the process clear, confident, and rewarding.
Rooted in history, driven by people
Buying with us means more than just finding a house
Working with Pemberton Holmes means more than just finding a house — it means having a dedicated expert in your corner, every step of the way. Our agents take the time to understand your needs, explain the process clearly, and provide honest advice rooted in decades of local experience. We combine modern tools with a personal approach to help you find a home you’ll love — and ensure the process feels smooth, informed, and stress-free.
A personalized search that fits you
We take the time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and must-haves, then tailor your home search to match — whether you’re looking for a family-friendly neighbourhood, a quiet acreage, or a condo near downtown.
Local expertise you can trust
With agents across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, we bring hyper-local insight to every conversation — from market trends and school districts to walkability and zoning.
Clear communication from start to finish
No jargon, no pressure. We make sure you always understand what’s happening, what comes next, and what your options are at every stage.
Professional representation and negotiation
Your agent is your advocate. We’re here to protect your interests, position your offer competitively, and guide you through contracts and closing with confidence.
A community-first approach
As a locally owned brokerage with deep roots on the Island, we care about the communities we serve — and we’re proud to help you become a part of them.
A smoother way to buy a home
The buying process, simplified
From first meeting to closing day, here’s how we support you.
Meeting Your REALTOR®
Start with a conversation. We’ll get to know your goals, timeline, and preferences — and walk you through what to expect, including how representation works and how we’ll advocate for your best interests.
Getting Pre-Approved
We’ll connect you with trusted mortgage partners to clarify your purchasing power, help you set a clear budget, and strengthen your position when you’re ready to make an offer.
Finding the Right Home
Explore homes that fit your lifestyle, budget, and long-term plans. We’ll handle showings, provide expert insights on value and condition, and help you compare options with confidence — whether you’re buying a personal home or an investment property.
Making an Offer
Your agent will craft a strategic offer tailored to current market conditions and negotiate skillfully on your behalf. We aim to secure favourable terms while keeping you informed and in control every step of the way.
Due Diligence & Closing Preparation
We’ll help coordinate inspections, appraisals, and contract timelines, with support from our in-house conveyancing team. If you’re purchasing a rental, our licensed Property Management team can also help with tenant placement and ongoing support.
Closing with Confidence
We’ll coordinate the final details so you can focus on what matters most — getting ready for move-in day and celebrating your new home.
Relocation support to help you land comfortably
Moving to a new city can be overwhelming — but we’re here to make the transition easier. If you’re new to Victoria or the surrounding area, our Relocation Specialist can help you secure a short-term rental while you get to know the region. This gives you time to explore, settle in, and make confident, informed decisions about your long-term home.

Support that doesn’t end at possession
Your relationship with your Pemberton Holmes agent doesn’t end on possession day. Whether you need help settling in, finding local services, or planning your next move, we’re always just a call away. From recommending trusted trades and service providers to offering guidance down the road, we’re here to support your success long after you’ve moved in.
