The owners have set the bar for being a values-driven business. The community and the Real Estate and property management industries are fortunate in having people like Ole and David represent them."

"Before we signed on with Duttons, we had another property management company that always seemed to serve us problems for which they had no answers. Two years ago, we let them go and signed on with Duttons. From Day 1, I was sold on them. They vet renters thoroughly, they vet owners thoroughly and, for both of our rental units, there hasn't yet been a problem they can't handle. I highly recommend them."

- Heidi Pringle

"What a thrill!!! Thank you. We feel so grateful for David's help. Thank you for your warmth and friendship. Can't wait to move in to the new place! We didn't think living in a house was in the cards for a while. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

- Jesse Owens

We felt that they really listened to my parents' needs and concerns and went above and beyond in ensuring that my parents were happy and supported throughout the process, from viewings, to making the offer, to dealing with the inspection and closing.

Ole is a real gem! We greatly appreciated his meticulous attention to detail, his prompt responses to queries, and his in-depth knowledge of the Victoria market.  At the outset he made a great effort to get to know our personal needs and desires.  He also researched strata information and gave us excellent advice that helped us avoid bad choices. The Duttons’ administrative staff were also excellent, very responsive and professional.''

- Karen Dadd

"Ole and his team were superb! Everything went perfectly to plan: from formulating sales strategy, to finalizing the terms & conditions of the sale, to navigating our way through some challenges due to the global pandemic, to following up with the usual niggly post-move items (we forgot a few things in the dishwasher - our bad)! We really appreciated Ole's deep knowledge of the market in general and the neighbourhood specifics. I highly recommend Duttons & Co. Real Estate to anyone in the Victoria market."

- Keith B.

"I would highly recommend Ole and the Duttons team. Ole has been my/our Realtor on three transactions now - 2 sales, 1 purchase - including the most recent sale of our mother's home.

Would highly recommend Ole and will definitely leverage his skills again in the future. Thanks!"

The experience was excellent - our main contact was Zana, who took care of everything very professionally. We truly had no worries about having tenants in our property. When we decided to sell, it made sense to have Duttons handle our sale too, to make the transition as seamless as possible. We were very pleased by the services provided by Ole. He was very professional, great at communicating, and offered excellent, no-pressure advice every step of the way. You have the knowledge that you are dealing with someone with integrity and honesty - something that is very important to us! We would certainly recommend Duttons, for both property management and real estate services!”

Firstly, I do want to thank you for our years of relationship, both with Michael and myself and then with Aviva.  From my point of view, you have been a stellar business person.  It has been many years since Michael and I purchased our first Victoria property and our amazing relationship with Duttons & Co.

- Marsha Laub

"I have been interacting with Ole and Dutton's for over a year, and we bought our current house with him. He is just what we want in a realtor -- professional, informed, prompt, objective, and responsive. He is quick to reply to emails and texts, to show properties, and to find out details of recent sales. I have been particularly impressed by his depth of expertise on the property and rental market in Victoria. He saved me from bad choices, and was patient in sharing what he knows. I highly recommend him."

- Michael King

"After 33 years it was time to sell our home. Duttons and Ole Schmidt were recommended to us. It was the right choice. Ole's quiet, knowledgeable, professional manner won us over.

- Nancy & Dave Hutchings

“Ole and the Team have been stellar! Ole really helped to keep us focused on our ‘must haves’ over the past year.

- Rachel Mark

"I keep telling people in London that I have this amazing REALTOR (Ole) in Victoria who looks after my best interests and whom I fully trust and I might as well be telling them that I have a pet unicorn as that just doesn't exist over there."

- Rand T.

"Ole recently guided me through purchasing a home in this competitive market with great skill and patience. I never felt rushed, and was given lots of advice on each potential home, allowing me to feel informed and happy with my final decision."

- Rebecca Meyer

"We recently closed the sale of our house in Victoria, through Duttons. We were fortunate to be represented by Ole Schmidt. Professional, knowledgeable and insightful are all terms that we would use to describe Ole's approach to the marketing of our property. As well, Ole and his excellent office staff took great care of peripheral details, such as landscaping and other bothersome things that might have stood in the way of a quick sale. In conclusion, we would make Duttons and Ole Schmidt our first choice when dealing in real estate."  

- Rob & Josephine Rose

"We are very happy with your real estate agency work on our behalf and thought you did a great job for us.  (Ole) You were accessible, quick to respond to queries and addressed concerns and opportunities in a pragmatic manner that was prompt and effective.  Your knowledge and experience with the Victoria market was very helpful."

- Ron & Susan

"Excellent team of professionals! They were exceptional in helping me manage my rental property.

Very happy with the team and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy/sell/rent. Thank you!"

"Thanks to you (Zana) and all the team of Duttons for helping newcomers to Canada and making Victoria a new home for them."

- Asif Mir

"We've been with Duttons with our two condos for over 5 years now, and would recommend them highly. They are prompt, efficient, extremely easy to communicate with (we live in Australia!) and respond to our anxieties and concerns with a professional attitude and action. Loved the extra mile video of Cindy, Peace and Brian as it demonstrates their commitment to keeping in touch across a variety of mediums. Shout out to Zana as well who has looked after us and our investments."

- Beth Sywulsky, Australia

"Thank you very much Zana! We really appreciate how efficient and responsive Duttons has been. It has been a chaotic year, and we have really appreciated never having to give our condo a second thought."

- Brian Beitz

"Thank you Duttons! You have taken care of our two condos since 2006 and for the entire time…literally, no rental worries. Duttons does it all, e.g., Strata compliance, tenants informed on Strata expectations, income/expense accounting, CRA paperwork, maintenance, etc., while consistently keeping our units rented with steady  income streams. This year was no exception, even during these stressful and uncertain times, you rented the Belvedere property expeditiously. We also want to convey our special appreciation to your Property Management Team: Zana, Jared, Cindy, and Faye for all their hard work, quick responses, dedication, and professionalism."  August 2020

- Calla & Richard Krupp

"Zana you are a truly amazing property manager – from both the tenant’s and owner’s perspectives – Zana cares for the property, ensures that the property is in impeccable condition, provides the tenant with a wonderful place to live, all while providing clear communication throughout the relationship. If I was an owner I would place my property in Zana’s exceptionally competent hands without hesitation. I can’t recommend Duttons highly enough.”

- D.P.

"Duttons Property Management has been outstanding. In particular, Zana and Lottie are professional and polite. Zana always makes her best effort to accommodate needs and concerns. I recommend Duttons Property Management to both landlords and tenants."

- David Gartshore

"We want to express our thanks to one of your team members Zana Siskin.  We have recently completed our rental agreement through your company. Our representative was Zana and we want you to know how impressed we were with the totally professional manner in which Zana treated our experience.  Zana is without a doubt one of the most friendly and courteous individuals we ever dealt with.  Zana made our inspections and final move a real enjoyable affair.  Your company and clients should be proud to know that you are professionally represented by such an outgoing personality in Zana Siskin. Thanks Zana for making everything such a wonderful and carefree experience."

- Guy & Eunice Fangeat

"Once a Superstar, always a Superstar.  We're talking about Zana Siskin & her team.  We are now settled into our new condo rental and the entire experience was like flying first class.  Although the move was smooth as silk, if there was an issue, it was quickly resolved.  The entire team made us feel like we were the only ones moving in Victoria and whenever we had a question, Zana & her team were quick to respond. We want to thank everyone involved for making this transition so friendly and professional. Management at Duttons should be very proud to have such talented and competent employees. Thanks again Zana, you & your team are the best."

- Guy & Eunice Fangeat

"Before we signed on with Duttons, we had another property management company that always seemed to serve us problems for which they had no answers. Two years ago, we let them go and signed on with Duttons. From Day 1, I was sold on them. They vet renters thoroughly, they vet owners thoroughly and, for both of our rental units, there hasn't yet been a problem they can't handle. I highly recommend them."

- Heidi Pringle

"The first word that comes to mind is professional. From the first day we rented through Duttons to the day we gave notice because our circumstances had changed and we were moving on. Zana, Faye, Jared and Brian were always a pleasure to speak with and always answered our questions. Thank you everyone at Duttons for your great service."

- Joanna Vandervlugt

“Zana, I must tell you that both Haley and I found your demeanor professional, friendly and knowledgeable.”

- Karen M.

“When we were planning to rent our Victoria-area townhouse, we originally contacted Duttons, based on a recommendation from a friend. The experience was excellent - our main contact was Zana, who took care of everything very professionally. We truly had no worries about having tenants in our property. When we decided to sell, it made sense to have Duttons handle our sale too, to make the transition as seamless as possible. We were very pleased by the services provided by Ole. He was very professional, great at communicating, and offered excellent, no-pressure advice every step of the way. You have the knowledge that you are dealing with someone with integrity and honesty - something that is very important to us! We would certainly recommend Duttons, for both property management and real estate services!”

- Linda Adams

"It has been such a pleasure working with yourself (Zana) and the Duttons staff over the past year.  Thank you for the competent manner in which you approach all aspects of property management."

- Magee Miller

"As a novice landlord I learned the hard way that renting out your home is not for the faint of heart.  Fortunately living in Fairfield I had heard positive reviews about Duttons, a local property management firm.   Three years ago I signed on with Duttons and I couldn’t be happier.  They took over all the details and have done such a great job.  They have found me lovely renters and in turn have helped me be a good landlord.   They were able to balance the needs of my renters as well as my needs, producing a win win situation for everyone.  I am so grateful for how hard they worked to ensure my home was well maintained."

- Magee Miller

"Excellent management company. They are completely dependable and professional. With my condo in their hands, I have nothing to worry about. They find new tenants quickly, take care of problems, and manage repairs when they are needed. I would recommend them to anyone."

- Naomi Hautecoeur

"This company is 100% reliable. They have been managing my condo for 8 years and I have nothing but praise for their services. They find good tenants quickly, manage everything professionally, and most importantly, provide peace of mind. I would recommend them to anyone."

- Nathaniel Hautecoeur

"Thank you so much for your quick help. Another reason to like your company."  

- Peter & Dagmar

"I would like to especially thank Zana for her experienced, strategic, and professional help. I have spoken to her a couple of times and she demonstrated herself as a graceful and wonderful lady.  She has given me full confidence on the rental market there. My property was rented out in a short period of time.  She is a truly local specialist!"

- Stuart Zeng

"I wish to thank all the staff at Duttons Property Management for their prompt and courteous support and service while leasing a property under their management. There is not to many places around today that will be at your door in an hour to resolve a problem with a property ( especially when it's storming out late on a Sunday night.) Thank you Zana...."

Testimonials

"We were very lucky to have Ainsley as our real estate agent! She was very supportive and understanding. She is very knowledgeable about the buying process and taught us a lot in the process. She didn't pressure or try to "sell" anything, when the time came to put in an offer she jumped into action and secured our offer! She communicated very fast and efficiently and I never felt like we were in it alone. I would highly recommend Ainsley to any buyer/seller!"

- Andrew Reid

"Ainsley was amazing in so many ways. She was very knowledgeable, professional, supportive and always available for a call. Ainsley ensured we understood the process and next steps in the daunting process of selling your home. The promotional video she made was very well made and her professionalism throughout the negotiation process was first rate. These attributes along with her advice and suggestions lead to the sale of our home. It was such a pleasure working with Ainsley and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling their property."

- Brian Loat

"Ole Schmidt of Dutton's was recommended to us by our mortgage broker and we have been extremely impressed by his level of attention, responsiveness and integrity. Ole and Ainsley helped my parents navigate the Victoria real estate market and find the perfect home in which to downsize, with patience, tact and excellent advice. We felt that they really listened to my parents' needs and concerns and went above and beyond in ensuring that my parents were happy and supported throughout the process, from viewings, to making the offer, to dealing with the inspection and closing. I would highly recommend Dutton's and in particular, Ole Schmidt and Ainsley Gower."

- Dorothy Wong

"Buying our first house was a very intimidating venture to step into, but Ainsley helped us through the entire process with knowledge, patience, and excitement! We couldn't recommend her more to anymore looking to step into the market."

- Ellie Martin

"I had an absolutely amazing experience with Ainsley. As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions and anxiety about the process, but she was patient and caring throughout, and always took her time to explain processes to us. She went out of her way to always be available and flexible, and we really felt supported by her in all our decisions and had faith that she wanted us to find the absolute best fit, which we did! When the time came to make the offer she was efficient and really went the extra mile to help us get our dream home. Could not have asked for a better experience, and cannot recommend her enough!"

- Emma Chenery

"Ainsley was absolutely fantastic to work with. As first time home buyers in an exceptionally challenging market we had a ton of questions. Ainsley was always available to chat and made sure we fully understood all aspects of the buying process. We came across some challenging scenarios with a few of the properties we considered, and Ainsley always did her research, or conferred with her team, to make sure we had the answers we needed to proceed. We looked at a lot homes before we found the right one, and no matter how many viewings we booked, or offers we wrote, Ainsley was always cheerful, professional and unwavering in her commitment to us as clients. We could not have asked for a better realtor and will definitely be recommending her to our friends and family."

- Hollie Galloway

"I was a first time buyer and Ainsley was amazing! She really validated the stress of the situation and made us feel much more relaxed. She was incredibly responsive and made going to showings as easy on us as possible. I felt very taken care of and she was on top of things I didn't even think of. I would 100% recommend her! Thank you so much Ainsley!!"  

- Liz Sharp

"Ainsley was so amazing! Me and my husband are first time home buyers and she went above and beyond to make sure we understood EVERYTHING clearly. She was constantly on the ball, and was so helpful in every way. She didn't pressure us into buying, she wanted to make sure we reviewed everything before making a decision - she truly advocated for our best interests and was in no way a sleazy saleswoman. Another great thing about Ainsley as she was modern, in with the times and met our communication styles ie: text, email that sort of thing and I really appreciated that. I would recommend Ainsley in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking to sell or buy in Victoria!"
