Ira Willey | Victoria, BC Realtor

Ira was absolutely fantastic to work with. As a first time homebuyer I appreciated his attention to detail and strong knowledge of the market to know when to make an offer and when to pause and reflect. He helped me find a fantastic condo in a highly competitive market for a price that was well within my budget. I would recommend Ira to friends and family any day!

Ira was a patient, diligent, and practical realtor for me and my partner. He always had our best interest in mind. He validated our frustrations after seeing so many homes that didn't work, yet also acted as our greatest cheerleader for eventual success. And when it came to taking action, Ira wasn't just a go between, he was a strategist. I had full confidence that every decision we made was the right one for us in that moment, even when it felt like we were going a little cross eyed at times!Buying a house was not in our plans for 2023, but after losing our rental in February we realized purchasing would cost the same as renting. Within 4.5 months and with Ira's help, we had a beautiful, updated 2,500 sqft home in Mill Bay for under a million (and $30k under asking.)Thank you, Ira, we are so grateful!

We are thrilled by the level of service that we received from Ira Willey, as our Realtor in Victoria. We were living in Ontario and wanted to escape the harsh Canadian winters. We started researching Victoria and came across Ira’s YouTube videos, which were highly data-driven and informative. Many Realtors are doing this, but not many on his level. Just by his videos, we thought we wanted to have him represent us. We emailed him and were impressed by his prompt and detailed response. He set up an online Victoria Search for us and kept us informed of the market in Victoria while we were wintering in the Caribbean. He emailed us market information also. Six months later we arrived in Victoria, he knew what we wanted and showed us five condos. We put in an offer on the first one he showed us, we were in multiple offer, he advised us how to proceed, and we got the condo of our dreams. Well done, Ira! Thank-you! We do not hesitate to recommend this very competent and professional, results-oriented Realtor.

Ira was AWESOME! Very knowledgeable of the Island, available for all our questions, very supportive and helpful in decision making, and honest. We’ve bought and sold numerous properties in the past and Ira is the best agent we’ve had so far. Really professional and highly recommend him!!

Ira has been an incredible help on finding and buying my first home. From walking me through the process to being very communicative throughout the process of purchase. He has been very honest, upfront and reliable for any last minute viewings I wanted to see. You can tell he has a passion for his job and will continue to go the extra mile. I couldn't recommend him more to anybody in the future.

With the astronomical increase in prices of homes in the recent years, the challenge I struggled with was finding a realtor who I could trust to truly place your interests at the heart of his work.Ira Willey is one of those few people.He is extremely professional, communicates well and most importantly, possesses the morals and ethics to place you as his client first. It is easy to find a realtor that is willing to sell your property with the promises of fetching a high price, but it is almost impossible to find a realtor that is willing to tell you what is realistic at the risk of disappointing you and losing you as a potential customer. Ira listened intently to my challenges and concerns. He was sympathetic and understood my feelings and was able to address them extremely well with a strategy based behind his strong market knowledge. He possesses the tactfulness to manage your own expectations and he will not hesitate to tell you when something is not to your benefit or interest, even at the cost of him losing your business. These are the qualities that are rare in individuals nowadays and I have nothing but immense respect for him. He has earned a client for life and my family and I look forward to recommending his services to our loved ones and friends. Thanks to Ira’s tireless work, my family and I have a new home and we are beyond excited about taking the next step in our life.

Ira has been great to work with. We have been looking for a place for over a year and a half and with Ira's reassurance we remained patient that we would indeed find the right place! We now have a beautiful condo with exactly what we were looking for in the perfect location. Ira's experience with the Victoria market and real estate in general was a huge asset in negotiating our deal. He also always was looking out for out best interests. Ira has been thorough, dedicated and very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. In our view, Ira is an excellent realtor and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a place!

Ira has the patience of a saint! I lost track the amount of houses he's shown us, each with the utmost professionalism. He's always available for our calls, last minute showing requests and listens (and pivots) as our needs have changed. Highly, highly, recommend working with Ira.

We just bought our first house with Ira and we couldn't be happier. He is such a realistic, personable and patient realtor that really keeps your needs, budget and timeline in mind when looking for houses. This was especially helpful in such a crazy and stressful market where it at times felt easy to give up. We would highly recommend Ira to anyone looking for solid advice and guidance from a realtor who is really in it for his clients!
