I MADE THE MOVE TOO

Having moved from Romania to Canada and later made Greater Victoria home with my family, I understand that relocating brings excitement, questions and plenty of practical decisions.

I’ll help you look beyond the listing photos and compare communities, housing options, commutes and everyday conveniences so you can make a move that feels right for your lifestyle.

Whether you’re moving from elsewhere in BC, another province or another country, you’ll receive clear communication, honest local advice and guidance throughout the process.

We were out of town for the first viewing, so Ion viewed the property for us and sent detailed photos and videos, carefully walking us through everything. He was kind, accommodating and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend Ion to anyone looking for a new home.
