Our Story

At 460 Realty, we’ve got a new way of doing business in real estate. Our breakthrough strategy combines young energy and technology with an open and honest approach, for a formula that clients, licensees, and the community as a whole can get behind. Real estate is a “people business” – intensely contingent on trust, relationships and teamwork. We go to great lengths to get our clients the best service in the industry, thus empowering them to make the best decisions for themselves and their families.


As locals, we know and love this place from end to end. (That’s where we got our name: Vancouver Island is 460 kilometres long.) It’s home to us too, and we share in the unique values that make this such a special place to live. Most of all, it’s the people – the community – that make this place so incredible. We believe in community, and we’ve reflected that belief in the culture of our business. That’s why 460 Realty is co-owned by the licensees and employees who work with us. This creates a true collective, a team effort. This allows every one of us at 460 Realty to continually go the distance for each other, for our clients and for the sense of home we all love.
