Now in my 19th year working as a REALTOR© with Royal LePage, I have been fortunate enough to have built a successful business that continues to be driven by past clients and their referrals.

I have always believed that the strongest businesses are referral based ones. I want every one of my clients to be so happy with my service that they tell every one they know about me. Please check out the testimonials page at VictoriaHomesNOW.ca

I didn’t get into real estate to make loads of money. I got into real estate because I wanted a job that would make me happy and satisfied. Long before I became a REALTOR©, I had an interest in real estate. Even after I had purchased my first home years ago, I would still read the real estate estate news every week from front to back.

I enjoy working with my hands and have performed significant renovations to every home I’ve owned which has given me a great insight into the way a house is put together.

When viewing houses with buyers, I am often able to “red flag” potential problems that many others might miss. When listing your home, I am able to offer great advice on what needs to get done in order for the home to show its finest and sell for the best price possible.

I take my business VERY personally. I make every effort to ensure that I give every one of my clients the best service possible. If you’re not happy, I’m not happy. I need to be able to sleep at night. 

I believe that it is my job to educate my clients and to help them make informed decisions. I never use high-pressure tactics and always leave the final decision up to you. After all, you are the one who has to be satisfied with the results in the end.

I have spent most of my adult life involved in some type of sales or marketing. Over the years I have become a highly skilled negotiator.

I believe in living life by the Golden Rule; “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

A portion of every sale is donated to my favourite charities: Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, Our Place Society and BC Cancer.

“Colin Gilroy is an exceptional Realtor. He helped us find a house and was patient, honest, incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and always available. As long as Colin is in the real estate business he will be our Realtor. Thank you so much Colin!”

– Rey & Heather

“My experience with Colin Gilroy, Realtor was a wonderful whirlwind experience! I knew that I needed to sell my house in a fairly short period of time, so I allowed Colin to walk through while the house was basically in shambles because of the painting, etc. that was going on. I thought for sure that he would focus on the bad parts of the house that did not look so great at the time. Instead he noticed a lot of what was hidden behind the mess, and included all information that he collected in an easy to understand and logical Market Evaluation. He left me with all the information to go over which included a proposed price range based on similar homes in the area, and made sure that I understood that all decisions were ultimately up to me.

As any homeowner would, I felt overwhelmed with all of the decisions, which Colin helped me through, and was able to knowledgeably answer any questions that I had, and provide his opinion when asked. I felt that he understood and sympathized with my circumstances surrounding the sale, and made it as easy as it could be on me. I was so impressed with the marketing plan that he put into action, and he always kept me informed of how many were interested in the property. I ended up receiving 9 offers on the property, and sold it for 32% MORE THAN LIST PRICE! I truly believe that I would not have had as good of a response and outcome if it hadn’t been for all of Colin’s hard work and great ideas! Spectacular!”

You were always there when we needed help.”

“Colin was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He worked very hard to help us find the right home.
