We would certainly recommend Duttons, for both property management and real estate services!”

"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

"I am very pleased with Duttons on the whole and your follow up. Thanks for being so diligent. I've really loved being a tenant here for the last 3 years and look forward to continuing to rent from Duttons."

- Melissa R.

"The key service point for me was the professionalism demonstrated through your website, your customer service, and your presentation of my property. Also, your flexibility of service catering to non-local homeowners made the process very easy for me.  Thanks for your help and for getting in a renter so quickly!"  

- Mike H.

"You guys have always done a great job managing our property for the past 8-9 years and believe its always noticed and appreciated."

- Nemer G.

"After asking around Duttons was the obvious choice for Property Management services, you have a fantastic reputation."

- Paul R-T

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

- Peter & Dagmar

"Every interaction that I have had with the Duttons team has been positive. Most recently, I have worked with Ole and the David when they chose to be the gold sponsor of an event for the non-profit that I work for. Being part of the community and giving back to that community certainly sets Duttons apart from any other real estate company in the city. Their passion about what they do and giving back to their community definitely shines through! I also use Duttons as my property management company, and when I first thought about renting out my condo (my investment!), I was a bit worried. The entire Duttons team made me feel at ease, and treated my property so well during showings. Every team member I have worked with is knowledgeable, respectful and incredibly professional.
Overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about this company. I feel at ease knowing that my condo is in their hands and would certainly use them without hesitation if I ever chose to sold it!"

- Rachel Mark

"We have been working with Duttons' Property Management and Real Estate teams for years and are very impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of the Victoria market. Their customized approach makes sure your needs and circumstances are addressed no matter, if you buying, selling or renting. Communication is prompt, clear and friendly and referrals to other professionals have proven to be perfect. I have been recommending Duttons and will continue to do so without hesitation."

- Regina Pfeifer

"Excellent team of professionals! They were exceptional in helping me manage my rental property. When it came time to sell my condo Ole and his team provided fantastic balanced advice which lead to very satisfying sales process. They went the extra mile to help and out of town seller appreciate the market, the opportunities and the process of a sale at a distance. Very happy with the team and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy/sell/rent. Thank you!"

- Ryan Gallagher

"My experience with Jared, Faye and the rest of the team at Duttons this past year has been fantastic. They are not only highly professional, but are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend using Duttons for all your property rental and real estate needs."

- Sadika Ghebari

"I am in the 2nd year of having Duttons manage my property in Victoria. I can not begin to express how happy I am with their service."

- Samantha Downing

"The Duttons team has given us complete ease of mind over the five years they managed the rental of our condo. They were responsive to emerging issues and handled their resolution in a professional way. They have a good team of contractors to deal with emerging problems. Every member of the Duttons team that we have worked with is professional and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend Duttons for property management."

- Sarah Dowswell

"I would like to thank you and the Dutton’s team for working with us over the years. We will certainly recommend Dutton’s to anyone that we know, that is interested in either Victoria real estate or rental properties. Your service has been exemplary over the year, and was greatly appreciated."

- Ted Summers

Always taking the time to give back generously to their community, their commitment to excellence is exemplary and sets a high bar for others to follow. I’ve worked directly with them for many years and known David for even longer. I can’t say enough about him and what a great company Duttons is."

- Tony Brinks

"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

"We used Duttons to manage our property for 5 years during which time they gave us the best in management service, providing monthly and annual status reports with professionalism in all aspects of communication and services."

- Victor Eason

"Most supportive and helpful in 'all aspects' of our house sale and in finding another property. Nothing was too much trouble. A big thank you!"

- Victor Eason

"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...."

- Wayde Jensen

"Dealing with Duttons was simple and straightforward. The team were professional and responsive to all my requests and needs that popped up whilst they were managing my property. With their knowledge of the local area as well as various networks, my apartment didn't stay vacant for long and they were able to find an excellent tenant quickly. As someone who currently lives overseas, Duttons ability to promptly handle any situation that arose without me having to be involved in every minute detail was a huge help. I will not hesitate to use them again in the future, and thoroughly recommend them to manage property."

- Drue Kendrick

“I have been completely pleased with everyone from your company that I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with and am also very comfortable with your company’s management contract and service as I feel it provides a reasonable balance between the company’s interests and my own (as opposed to some of the other management contracts that I had reviewed). I certainly look forward to working with you all. It’s always a pleasure to meet and work with professionals who take obvious pride in what they do and it is comforting to know that my home is in good hands.”

- Mark Loveseth

Your efforts have made a tremendous difference.”

- Stephen Anderson

They provided us with a number of vendors to do the makeover of our unit on View St. I must say that each and every one of them performed very professionally and as advertised. Should Duttons ever need a recommendation in regard to their professionalism, honesty and competent management team, Peggy and I would be most happy to provide it.”

- Mike and Peggy Sample

- Rosemary Mills

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!!! And in case you don’t hear it enough, Faye, every craftsperson I’ve spoken to tells me that you are the greatest person to work with."

"As I signed my renewal for the fifth year, I was moved to send an appreciation note to Duttons. I truly believe that a Company is only as good as their staff. I find the staff to be professional, patient, prompt and most importantly, strike a good balance with landlord and tenant. Thank you all, for a job well done."

Chris Logan

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.
