It looks much more modern now!  And Les has replaced a switch on the stove, which means we once again can use the large front element. The length of time we couldn’t use it was all on me – too many things going on to do anything about it!  Thanks so much for your usual efficiency once again. We love this place!!!

Testimonials

"Working with Christina Carrick took the uncertainty out of buying a house. She gives great advice and makes the real estate process seem reasonable and less intimidating. After working with Christina a few times Buying properties and having her sell my condo I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to friends and family. She gives excellent advice and is more concerned with building a long-term relationship than with the immediate sale. I always felt supported and never pressed to make a decision that wasn’t right for me. It is a pleasure to work with her and I’m very happy, both with the sale of my condo (including the price I got in a tricky market) and my new Home."

- Caitlin Brownrigg

"Christina’s name was given to me by a friend and colleague who has been working with Christina for the past while.  I was looking to sell my condo in James Bay and to find another property that would meet my needs. Christina’s work has been exceptional.  From our first meeting through until today, Christina has been the ultimate professional.  Christina walked me through the entire process so there were no surprises.  She is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, competent and diligent.”

- Cheryl Caldwell

"We had an excellent experience working with Christina and James on the front-line of our Home search in Victoria, and great back office help once we landed the one we wanted! The search started with James, who was very easy to get along with and offered up a lot of useful local knowledge and strategies in Victoria's competitive market. We viewed many houses together over a few months. Some family stuff came up during the hunt and James was very understanding and patient, hearing that we needed to take a little time off the hunt. He was right there to pick up the requests to view as soon as we were ready again. James actually brought in Christina to cover for a short vacation he was taking, and the transition to another Duttons expert was seamless. Christina showed us a few homes right away, and I was encouraged at the first viewing when she pointed out that 'this location is too loud!'. Totally agreed, again nice to get the honest perspective from Duttons team. Christina ended up showing the home that we bought - and I can say that she handled that competitive situation with expert skills. There were 3 offers, and based on some thoughtful consulting on strategies we ended up with a competitive advantage. Christina then really impressed us with thoughtful follow-through with some minor issues; mainly caused by a lazy selling realtor. Thanks for following up and getting a complete key set, and a few other things! I'd recommend Duttons to anyone hunting in Victoria."

- Chris Bowman

“As first-time home buyers, my wife and I were very pleased with the professional help provided by Ms. Christina Carrick. Christina’s experience was instrumental in making the property purchase process as smooth as it could be. She treated issues of our concern as if they were her own. She offers a good balance of professionalism and the human side of the home-buying business. My wife and I recommend her services to anyone who would like to make his/her property purchase a pleasant experience that will bring them good memories for years to come.”

- Farhad H. PhD

"Ole and Christina were amazing and supportive as they guided us through the purchase of our Island home. They are professional, committed and enjoyable to work with.  I would highly recommend the Duttons team to anyone looking to purchase a home!"

- Heather Bell

"Great management of our rental property! Although we live 4500 km away, we always felt like our property was in good hands. And many thanks to Christina Carrick for your help and great professionalism in selling our home! You guided us very well throughout the process and our home sold quickly!"

- Jean-Francois Piche

"Christina was the perfect real estate agent to have as a first time home buyer. What we liked best about her style was that she did not push us in any one direction, but she gave us just enough advice where we felt we could comfortably make a decision on our own. She assured us that when we found our perfect house, we would know. I was hesitant, but she was right! We are now in our new home and couldn't be happier."

- Lee & Brie

"My partner and I met with Christina to discuss purchasing a condo in the near future, and even though we weren’t quite ready yet, she was happy to meet with us to help us get started. This was new to both of us, and Christina was great at discussing the market, current conditions, and areas she thought we could find value. When we were ready to begin searching seriously, she was great with suggesting units that might suit our needs, and worked around our busy schedules to ensure we were able to see each of the condos we wanted. When it came time to make an offer, Christina thoroughly walked us through that process, ensuring we understood everything and that it all made sense. All in all, it was a pleasure to work with Christina, and she made the daunting task of purchasing a home quite manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends and colleagues in the future."

- M. Stephenson

"Exceptional. That is what describes our experience working with Christina to purchase our first home. Christina was quick to respond to every email and organized showings quickly in a fast paced market so we had a chance at making an offer. Christina's knowledge of the housing market was also evident when viewing homes, and her honest opinion was greatly appreciated and helped us in making our decision. In the end, we purchased a home that was exactly what we were looking for in the location that we wanted, and we felt supported through the entire process."

- Sarah McQuillan & Miguel Campo

"I could not be happier with the service I received from Ole and Christina! They helped me buy a beautiful townhouse and then sell my detached home of 25 years in only 4 days! They are thoroughly professional, caring people. The entire process was as stress free as possible!"

- Susan Hatt

"We were so pleased with your enthusiasm, expertise and positive attitude. After reading your bio (Christina) we knew you were the right person to negotiate for us.   I have rented a couple of basement suites in Fairfield over the years and always admired Dutton’s properties, for sales and rentals, so I was proud to have your company sign on our lawn."    

- Trish Stafford

“What immediately won us over about Christina was how genuine, caring and non-pushy she is. Viewing houses with her was always fun and informative, and something we really looked forward to! Christina really listened to our needs and put a lot of time and effort into finding us our perfect home. I absolutely whole-heartedly recommend Christina as an agent; we continually give her name to friends and relatives.”

- Magnus M

“Christina is patient and is always up for the challenge. When I have a difficult question she did not turn her back or convince me that it’s not important, she did the proper research and always got back to me with an answer. This speaks value.”

- Kenneth N

“We were very happy with the service we received from Christina Carrick while looking for a house for our daughters in Victoria. Not only was she extremely efficient at her profession but she went over and above the call of duty when challenges in the process arose. Christina is a well educated and intelligent young woman with a positive and caring attitude. She helped us muddle through our challenges without ever making us feel indebted to her. Thanks to Christina, we found the house best suited to our needs. We have no problem recommending Christina as a REALTOR® with superb integrity and impressive skill sets for the job. Yours Sincerely.”

"After meeting with other agents, and feeling more and more unsure, my partner and I were recommended to speak to James. He was knowledgable, personable and made us feel confident in knowing that we had an expert on our team. James set up what feels like hundreds of showings, and was supportive throughout search. When we did find the right house, we felt super lucky to have James on our side through the negotiations and paperwork. He made the huge process of buying our first home, a really positive experience, and I would hands down recommend James and the rest of the Duttons team to anyone!"

"As a first-time home buyer, there were so many new things to navigate, and it can be a stressful experience. James was patient, cheerful and thoughtful, when answering all of my questions. He listened closely to understand the things that are important to me in a house and home, and then he worked hard to help me find the right fit. I especially appreciated his humour and light-heartedness, which made the experience enjoyable and easy. I would definitely recommend James."

- Hannah Roessler

"We worked with James to buy our first home. He made our house hunting experience an extraordinary one. He fought for us and now we are proudly homeowners of a beautiful home. Thanks James for the amazing hunt to find 'the right one for us'"

- Noha M

"James was the first agent we met who could answer our questions clearly and simply. His knowledge was invaluable in choosing the right property and asking the right questions. His attention to detail was impressive and he wasted no time in following up on our requests. We felt confident that he would get the job done. I have no hesitation in recommending James."

- Paul Gumbley

"James was great, picked us up from the Ferry, showed us as many condos as we had time, bought us lunch, all around a very good experience. Would not hesitate to use him again.and recommend him to new clients. Congrats to being among top Realtors in Victoria."

- Paul Hegele

"James was a perfect fit for our needs - we were selling a property from out of province and we needed someone who we could trust to handle all the details - he arranged contractors, painters and went above and beyond to get our property ready for the market. From the first time we met with James, he was organized, prepared, personable and knew what kind of market to attract. He kept us informed as we moved through the selling process in a clear and considerate manner. We would recommend him to anyone."

- Sally Barros

"James was referred to me by a close friend when I began to look for my first home. He was very thorough on the hunt not only assisting me with the search but also educating me as a new home buyer. I found a home and made the purchase, that was the easy part as James communicated well with the mortgage broker and my lawyer but his true assets were shown in his assistance through a difficult closing process. He helped to keep the stress levels down and was there for us through the whole process. James is a great communicator and was always there with a quick reply. I would highly recommend using James if it's your first time buying or not, I know that we will be looking for his services again in the future if we look to by or sell."

- Scott Renton

"James Fehr got us a deal on our dream home the night before its advertised open house. Brendan and I were struck by James’ genuine personality, thoughtful and discrete negotiations style, and reputation throughout the broader real estate network (brokers, contractors, etc.). He has knowledge of and access to properties and agents that others don’t because he has such strong ties in the community, and his recent real estate awards and move to the Duttons agency are well-earned."

REALTOR®

A Victoria resident for over 20 years, Chris grew up in Halifax and studied at Dalhousie University, Concordia, and the National Theatre School of Canada. Several years in the music industry then led to an extended sojourn as co-owner of one of Victoria’s best loved performance venues. Those years in the hyper-competitive hospitality industry gave Chris keen customer service and negotiating skills and trained him to stay cool under stress.

With a temperate Mediterranean climate unique in Canada and a broad range of housing that runs from Craftsman century homes to stylish modern condos, Victoria offers unmatched quality of life. The city caters to a culturally diverse mix of young professionals, growing families, and retirees, and Chris’s first-hand, street-level knowledge of the city’s distinctive neighbourhoods ensure he is uniquely placed to help newcomers and long-term residents alike find their niche.

Sellers will find Chris a patient listener who understands that selling a home is not only a major financial undertaking but almost always an emotional one as well. Although he believes no deal is a great deal unless all parties benefit, Chris is nevertheless a tireless advocate for the best interests of his clients: your goals will be his goals until those goals are achieved.

When not working with clients Chris treasures time spent with his wife and four children, ideally outdoors, and especially in their beloved Beacon Hill Park. He loves to read and is passionate about music and classic cinema. A long time meditator, he is committed to the precepts of honesty, temperance, and not causing harm. He has volunteered with Victoria Hospice and the James Bay Community Project and believes that in order to solve the big problems of the world it’s often best to start by serving our families, friends, and neighbours.
