Ilana Pretoruis

My real estate journey started 18 years ago with the purchase of a run-down fixer-upper in Northern Manitoba. Since then I have renovated and restored several properties, owned a construction business (in partnership with my project-manager husband), raised two fabulous children and continued to pursue my accounting degree.



In 2018 the kids flew the nest and I finally decided to kick corporate to the curb and follow my passion to become a real estate professional - but it took one more renovation and a move to Vancouver Island to fulfill my dream. Today I am so lucky to live and serve on this beautiful island!


With my background in renovation and construction I am able to envision the big picture while also noting the small details that could make or break the bank. From this perspective I can provide both buyer and seller clients a fresh set of eyes on the properties at stake and advise in their best interest.



Buying or selling a home is exciting and often the steppingstone into a new chapter of life. I undertake to be with you each step of the way, making the process easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming and less expensive than if you undertook the challenge on your own.


You are invited to browse my website and call or e-mail me with any questions you have about buying or selling a home in the area.


I can't wait to meet you!
