In the garden, a custom-designed studio by local architect James Kerr serves as an ideal artist space or home office. Nearby, a Pennsylvania blue stone patio and wraparound bench provide a serene setting to enjoy the ocean views. The adjacent park enhances the property’s sense of space without the upkeep.

About

Jean Medland
BA Communications

Jean’s business plan consists of four pillars to success. marketing and communications skills are integral to the other two pillars: professional team members & contractual expertise. Focusing on Southern Vancouver Island living, Jean and her team have a detailed knowledge of the sub-markets which exist throughout Greater Victoria, including Saanich, View Royal, Esquimalt, the Gorge area, Vic West, Fairfield, Oak Bay, Broadmead and the Arbutus neighbourhoods. Expert marketing of Victoria’s desirable lifestyle has led to our continued success. Within the core of our four pillar business plan is a strong virtual marketing strategy for each property we list, ongoing powerful web presence which is then wrapped up in our full-service model of real estate services. For Buyers and Sellers, our strategies deliver the little known, but very real undercurrent of privileged information about select homes for sale and Buyers in Victoria who want them.

Strategic position which sets us apart: Embracing the online reality of how Buyers and Sellers tenaciously research there real estate desires has necessitated that we focus 100% of our activities in the digital and online realms.

 My previous careers include twenty years in the professional film, television and theatrical industries, across the island, in Vancouver and throughout North America. Armed with a BA in Strategic Communications, I am able to bring a multifaceted combination of negotiation and people skills to the table while guiding people through the process of buying, selling or leasing property in British Columbia.

Deliverables:

  • Negotiating and sales experience
  • Personal client service
  • Market analysis smarts
  • Advertising and marketing expertise
  • Public relations and writing experience
  • Graphic and web design experience

I was born and raised in Victoria and after nearly 15 years living throughout North America, I returned to put down roots in Victoria with my husband, young son and twin daughters.  My interests outside of real estate range from exploring the island with my family to enjoying live entertainment and all the west coast life has to offer. I am very active in my children’s schools and became an Odd Fellow in 2012. Although my life is very full, I believe it is vital to give back to the community and nurture the place we all call home. I thank you for visiting my website and look forward to talking with you soon.
