About

Meet Randy Thorne

 

Randy Thorne was born and raised in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, and can’t imagine calling anywhere else “home.”  Randy and his wife Shanon feel fortunate to be able to raise their two young children, Olivia and Hunter, in the ever-growing Westshore area.

 

The diverse landscape and mild climate of Vancouver Island allow the Thorne family to enjoy many outdoor activities year-round, including camping, boating, baseball, golf and soccer.

 

Before venturing into real estate as a career, Randy spent a decade in the construction industry working in various areas, including architectural sheet metal, framing and electrical.

 

Randy joined Pemberton Holmes Real Estate as a licensed real estate agent in 2016, and hasn’t looked back since.  With it's history on Vancouver Island as far back as 1887, the company has the knowledge, integrity, and family feel that Randy can truly connect with.

 

Randy’s got a great team working with him to ensure his clients receive reliable, knowledgeable service - including his wife Shanon, who is a successful Mortgage Specialist with RBC.

 

When asked about what he loves the most about working in the real estate industry, Randy says, “The best part is working with all different types of people.  There is no better feeling then helping a client find their next home and being able to  truly experience their excitement first hand.”
