Testimonials

I was very pleased with Dean Innes. He is extremely professional, approachable, attentive and very easy to communicate with. I always felt that my best interests were in the forefront.

Sally Hubbard, Victoria

We interviewed a few realtors when planning to list our home and without question, we knew we were in the right hands with Dean Innes. He was incredibly professional and comes with a strategic approach to marketing and positioning. The work his team did to stage, photograph and market our property were well thought out and targeted to a broad enough market that we knew we could push our price point. When we got to the offer stage Dean presented all of the facts, then allowed us to make a fully informed decision. At every stage of this process we felt we had the information and data we needed to make the right decision. We also felt fully in control of this process and that Dean was only setting us up for success, never trying to sway our decision. This was a record sale for us as the home sold before we actually listed! I wholeheartedly recommend Dean, working with him was fantastic and we are 100% satisfied with the results.

Tara & Chuck / Victoria

My wife and I have used Dean for our past 5 real estate transactions. He has always been professional and excellent to work with. Even in the tough markets, Dean stuck with us and kept us well informed of the current conditions. I would highly recommend Dean for your real estate needs without hesitation.

Terry & Denise, Victoria

I have worked with Dean, both for my personal real estate as well as with my clients, and have nothing but amazing things to say about Dean. His level of knowledge and professionalism is why he is hands down one of the best in the business. I would, and do, recommend clients to Dean for their real estate needs. Thank you, Dean!

Dan, Victoria

Professional, honest, and an excellent communicator. I would highly recommend Dean to anyone looking for a first-class real estate advisor!

Stephen D, Victoria

Dean rocks! We had our previous house listed for over 3 months with another realtor, and even after 3 open houses, no offers were received. We relisted the house with Dean. He put the sign in the ground on Friday and by Monday, we had 3 offers all above asking! Sold! Not only that, he was able to help us find a new house that met all of our requirements and since it was a new build, was able to facilitate modifications to the build to suit our family's needs. All the while he was upfront & professional and a pleasure to deal with. I would have absolutely no problem recommending Dean to anyone looking to sell their house, buy a house or both! Thanks Dean!

Bill S, Victoria

Jen F, Victoria

I was a first time home buyer and Dean was able to help me and my wife buy our first house here in Victoria, Dean is an amazing guy to work with, he made us feel that buying a house is an exciting experience and he provided all the details that we had to know, very knowledgeable and he could pretty much answer all the questions you have. Much recommended agent!

Clinton & Gaia, Victoria

The buying process was made easy and simple. Dean understood my values and priorities and never pushed anything I was uncomfortable with. I felt he had my best interests at heart through the entire process.

Katie, Victoria

We loved working with Dean. He's knowledgeable, responsive and provided good guidance during the offer and subject removal process. He's also a very nice human being, which is why we chose him. Our experience selling our home with Sotheby's was excellent.

Lorraine Tao + Doug Thoms, Sooke

I bought my first condo through Dean in 2009, and I didn't hesitate to call him when it was time to sell in 2018. Very professional service and prompt results! Always easy to reach and kept me well informed through the entire process. I highly recommend him if you're looking to buy or sell.

Jane S, Victoria

I have known Dean for over 15 years and my clients have overwhelmingly touted his professionalism and negotiating skills. In fact, the first home I purchased was with Dean working hard for me to find me the right home. If you’re looking for a great realtor to work hard to help you buy a home or sell, look no further!

Jason C, Victoria

We have worked with Dean for many years, for the purchase of our current house and to assist when we have considered moving. When anyone asks, we do not hesitate to recommend Deanno - and my friends all say, if Dean can keep you as a happy and satisfied repeat customer - he must be excellent! (which he is).

Scott & Sandy, Victoria

Very conscientious Realtor! We have worked with Dean for over 15 years and he is helping us find our next home right now!

Jo-Lee & David, Victoria

We have been dealing with Dean as our Realtor since the day he changed careers about 20 years ago. After all that time and numerous purchases over the years, we would not even consider looking at someone else as our representative. Dean has always been working for us and not for himself like so many others.

Rocco H, Victoria

Never did I think I would get the price that we did for our home! So happy to be moving to the new place without a mortgage! What a gift. Dean was amazing and very patient. Highly recommended to anyone looking to buy or sell (or both!) a home.

Jo-Lee Bertrand, Victoria

Great service, great experience. Loved the no nonsense, professional approach. Our expectations were definitely exceeded. What more can I say? Highly recommended.

Craig Paterson, Victoria

Our experience listing with Sotheby's International has been a such a productive and pleasurable experience. Dean Innes went out of his way to make sure we were well informed with every showing, was quick to relay feedback, advised us well every step of the way and was always available when we reached out to him for even the smallest concern. Should we move again, there is absolutely no doubt that we will use Sotheby's again; we are so very appreciative of the standard of professionalism, service and most importantly... our house selling for exactly what we hoped for!

Judith McKendry, Sooke

Dean's professional approach and advice helped us sell our home in a timely manner. We are more than pleased with the result. Dean is a constant communicator between potential buyers/agents and us, and always kept us informed during the process at all hours. I would highly recommend Dean.

Wesley Boyd, Victoria

From start to finish Dean inspired, earned and deserved my confidence. His competence, his diplomatic manner, his depth of knowledge and his hard work were apparent. He always responded quickly to any inquiries. He was on top of all aspects of the sale. He has excellent team members. I have never had such a thoroughly satisfying experience of selling a property.

Catherine Fletcher, Cortes island

It was a pleasure to work with Dean on the sale of my condo. From our first meeting I was impressed by his positive attitude and what he would be doing going forward, including an expertly managed marketing strategy. He was so supportive throughout the process and particularly through the final stages. Dean achieved the figure he had first indicated and in a very short time. He kept me up to date and I felt very confident of a positive outcome.I would highly recommend Dean to anyone - a true professional with a great personality.

R Dempsey, Victoria

We really appreciated Dean’s professionalism. We had peace of mind knowing the sale of our condo was in good hands.

Marcela Ramirez, Victoria

We worked with Dean on selling our property. He made it a pleasant experience. He was easy to work with, professional, prompt and had excellent communication skills. His marketing tools using 3D virtual tour, videos, still photos and glossy brochures put our property in its best light. We would highly recommend Dean on the sale or purchase of a property.

Glenn & Janis Rising, Victoria

There were two reasons why I chose Sotheby's: 1. We are fortunate to have a unique piece of property on Pender Island and felt the average potential buyer looking for a rec property wouldn't (A) spend the kind of money we felt the property was worth and (B) at our price their attitude would probably be "for another $200k I can get a 3 bedroom house". Sotheby's has a reputation for presenting interesting/quality properties and we wanted that international buyer who likes the best. Needless to say with Covid that never happened. 2. I was dissatisfied with the local real estate office as "they didn't get it" and thought our price was not only too high but that it would scare local agents off and also potential buyers. I wanted a more professional sales person and that was certainly true in doing business with Dean. Reality was that many of the local agents showed the property more than once. On more that one occassion I was on the property when they were making their presentations. It was appalling how ill prepared/informed they were. Dean has been an excellent communicator and orchestrated all viewings very well. Working with Dean was a pleasure and rewarding. At $700k we were a long way off our listing price of $788k but Dean and I both knew that was very high for the market. I would happily do business again with Dean/Sotheby's.Rick Griffiths

Rick Griffiths, Pender Island BC

Sotheby's did an excellent job of marketing my property. Agent Dean Innes was great to work with: collaborative, courteous, conscientious, and most of all--took care to open and close for every viewing--even though my condo was empty. This security measure was much appreciated by the concierge of my condo building. Dean was prompt in returning messages and kept me apprised every step of the way. All in all...a stress-free process. Many thanks, Dean!

Jane Miller, Victoria, BC

Dean is an excellent realtor, he is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. He dealt with the sale of our house very professionally. We would highly recommend him and would definitely use his services again if we were buying or selling.

Kirsty and Joel, Victoria

After meeting and speaking with Dean, we decided he was the right person to list and sell our home. Dean was very professional, personable and very responsive to our needs. I would highly recommend Dean to anyone in need of a Realtor.

Mark & Elaine, Brentwood Bay

We worked with Dean on the sale of our townhouse in Oak Bay and the purchase of our condo in Broadmead. Dean’s clear no nonsense approach resonated with both of us. He worked to secure both a realistic selling price and negotiated a fair purchase price. We both appreciated he was patient with us as we searched for both a new location and type of home. We would highly recommend Dean to others looking for a Realtor who works with and for you!
