Representing Tenants on
Vancouver Island
We offer a full range of services to ensure you get the space you want and pay only for what you need.
Needs Assessment
We’ll collaborate with you to identify your perfect property, considering factors such as layout, special requirements (e.g., pet-friendly spaces), budget, and prime location to ensure the best match for your needs.
Market Analysis
We’ll provide expert guidance on current real estate market trends, rental rates, and any additional costs you may face when renting a property, ensuring you’re fully informed and confident throughout the process.
Develop Options
Once we’ve identified the ideal rental type that meets your needs, including your minimum requirements, budget, and preferences, we’ll begin the search to find the perfect property for you.
Selection
We’ll compare properties that meet your criteria, quantifying key variables to provide an accurate all-inclusive annual cost for each option. Then, we’ll preview or arrange viewings with you to find the best fit.
Negotiations
Lease Signing
We’ll assist you in navigating the lease agreement, carefully explaining how each clause aligns with the BC Residential Tenancy Act to ensure you’re fully informed of your rights and obligations.

I was emigrating with my young family to Victoria, Canada from Europe and the process of finding a property to rent abroad very daunting. IIana was amazing and guided us through the whole process and organised virtual tours of the properties and we were sent links to available properties each day. It made the process so much easier and felt like a much softer landing! 5 stars for the whole team.
I have been dealing with Ilana at Pemberton several times for relocation and every time, I have had such a great experience. Now, I consider Ilana more than my realtor, but also a friend. Best experience ever!
