I had a great experience with Ainsley selling my condo. Her knowledge of the market in Victoria and my neighbourhood got us a sale price I never would have thought possible. Ainsley provided great recommendations, insight, and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. - Damian Herman

My wife and I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Ainsley to purchase our first home. As first-time buyers navigating a tricky market, Ainsley was able to clearly explain the process to us, help us through many scenarios, and be there to answer questions openly and honestly. The thing that really stands out to us about working with Ainsley is the fact that she always seemed to have our best interests at heart. Where there were potential red flags with a property, she would always raise them. Ainsley really took the time to understand our situation and lifestyle and made sure that any property we viewed would be a proper fit. We really appreciated Ainsley’s perspective and honesty as a new mom when viewing properties, as we plan to raise a family in the near future as well. Once we finally found our perfect property (after a few years of looking off and on – another testament to Ainsley’s patience), Ainsley and her assistant Jess were incredibly helpful and professional. They took care of everything and helped walk us through all of the necessary steps. We felt totally confident in Ainsley's expertise and in her ability to secure the best deal for us. We can’t thank Ainsley enough, and look forward to working with her again (and hopefully seeing her around town 😊). - Brad Hubbard

Ainsley and her assistant Jess went above and beyond to make our experience searching for a condo as first time home buyers on a tight schedule smooth and stress-free. They were incredibly responsive to our many many questions and helped us through the entire process from start to finish. We would not hesitate to recommend! - Rachel Garrett

Ainsley was incredibly helpful from start to finish during our move from Ontario. From our very first call, she asked thoughtful questions and truly listened as we described what we were looking for in a home. Her insights were both practical and supportive. When we visited Victoria in the fall, Ainsley was excellent in sharing her expertise and detailed information about homes and neighbourhoods, as well as highlighting important considerations for each. Throughout the entire process, she was generous with her time, consistently understanding, and never made us feel pressured. We especially appreciated her timeliness, attention to detail, and strategic approach as we finalized our decision and negotiated the contract. For all these reasons—and for her genuine warmth and friendliness—we would wholeheartedly recommend Ainsley. She made the experience of finding our home not only smooth, but enjoyable. We share this feedback with sincere gratitude. - Andrea

I had the privilege of working with one of the best. From the outset, Ainsley demonstrated an impressive understanding of the North Saanich and Victoria housing market, providing me with insights that were invaluable in making informed decisions. She went above and beyond to be attentive to my needs, listening carefully to my preferences, and consistently presented properties that matched my criteria. Communication was seamless; she was always prompt in responding to my queries and provided detailed explanations of each step of the process. Her negotiation skills were exceptional, securing a favourable deal. What truly set her apart was Ainsley's genuine commitment to ensuring my satisfaction, making the entire experience not just successful but also enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in search of a new home. - Amie Halsall

Our family is so grateful to Ainsley! We were out of town buyers, with very little knowledge of the Victoria market. Once we scheduled time for a visit, Ainsley and Jessica coordinated what seemed like a hundred details to get us into as many homes as possible. The price point we were trying to stick to meant we were in a relatively competitive market and we wanted to entertain a house with suite/income potential. (The schedule changed probably 5 times since houses we wanted to see were snatch up so quickly!) Ainsley knew enough to give her opinion on what could potential work and what definitely could not work. Through the process she kept our wants in mind - things like we want to be close to school(s) so we could be a 1 care household etc! In such a competitive market, once we found the house we wanted to put an offer in on, Ainsley truly shined - she negotiated on our behalf and secured the deal (I think) the same day. I do not think we could have gotten a "better deal" or found a better house with anyone else, Ainsley absolutely was the right choice for us. On an even more personal note, Ainsley got to know our kids over those few days and our oldest(18 months) started to really care for Ainsley! Ainsley would help her get her little shoes on and off for each appointment. We talked about daycares and she was even gracious enough to suggest the same daycare her son attends and use her as a reference. We have been in our home almost a month and I'm still texting Ainsley for suggestions - most recently asked for a Sourdough rec. And of course, she delivered. Thank you! - Kelsey Sorensen

Ainsley went above and beyond helping us with the purchase of our first home. Her work ethic is unmatched and she was always readily available to answer all the questions we had. Her knowledge and experience is extremely valuable. Can't recommend her enough! - Shannon Sawers

Ainsley Gower is a fantastic, informed and charming realtor. She skilfully deduces your lifestyle and area of choice and finds just the right home for you. She has helped us twice now, and we have been very happy. She is a delight to work with. - Andrea Neild

As a military family with extensive experience buying and selling homes nationwide, we have worked with numerous Realtors. Ainsley stands out as the most knowledgeable, dedicated, and persistent professional we have encountered. She kept us well-informed about our listing’s market performance and skillfully negotiated a challenging sale. We are extremely grateful for her exceptional efforts and highly recommend her services. - Wageesha

Our somewhat complex transaction was made seamless thanks to Ainsley's complete professionalism and attention to detail. She went out of her way to help us understand market conditions and where our property sat within them. She was diligent, strategic and patient. We highly, highly recommend her. - Victoria Berry

Ainsley was great to work with as we navigated the Victoria housing market. We were relocating from out of province and making a life transition and it took some time to clarify what would best suit our needs. Ainsley was endlessly patient as we looked at property after property that didn't ​quite work for us. We appreciated her critical eye and honesty as we considered options and we valued her assessment of the evolving market and property valuations. When we finally made our purchase, her attention to detail and responsive communication really shone. She checked in at every step to make sure we were comfortable with the unfolding process, found answers to all our questions, and provided referrals to resources that we needed. We would certainly call on Ainsley again if we were making another move. - Tara Holmes

Ainsley's knowledge of the local market was impressive, and she consistently provided us with valuable insights and guidance.

This was extra helpful as we were moving to the island from the mainland and really needed to be able to trust her guidance. Ainsley’s commitment to finding us the perfect home was evident in the countless hours spent researching and presenting us with a variety of options that met our criteria. Ainsley’s patience and willingness to answer our numerous questions and address any concerns were truly remarkable. We never felt rushed or pressured, and she always made us feel like a priority.

We are forever grateful for Ainsley’s assistance and will definitely be reaching out for any future real estate needs. - Mike Hudson

We can't recommend Ainsley enough! The idea of moving from the mainland to the island was unnerving and stressful but Ainsley made the process seamless! She picked us up and dropped us off from the ferry, aligned as many viewings as possible for the dates we were available - she even attended viewings and zoomed us in so we could see houses we couldn't see in person. Her expert knowledge of the area and neighborhoods was invaluable to us—she provided guidance on traffic, weather, noise, and neighborhood hangouts! It was and is a competitive market, and I felt like we were a team, working together to meet our goal of finding a place to call home. After successfully finding us a place, Ainsley was so lovely that she gifted us a welcome basket with local tasty treats. On the anniversary of our move-in date, she remembered and gifted us a celebration bottle of champagne! One of the nice things about Victoria is its size - you run into friends everywhere and I truly feel like Ainsley is now part of our social circle! We don't have any plans to move anytime soon but when we do, we will be chatting with Ainsley first! - Lorenda Calvert

Ainsley is great. She was very patient as it took some time to find what I was looking for in a very tight market. She gave great advice. I love my new place! - Susan Snell

I feel very lucky to have had Ainsley as my realtor during the process of buying my first property and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ainsley was incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through every step of the way, making the entire process seamless, which made the experience much less stressful than I imagined it would be. One thing that truly stood out about Ainsley was her patience and kindness. As a first-time buyer, I had numerous questions and concerns, and she always took the time to address them with care and understanding.

Knowing what I was looking for, she provided me with transparent and unbiased information about different properties and neighborhoods, ensuring that I made informed decisions which speaks to her professionalism and integrity.

Ainsley is a professional, sharp, considerate and responsive realtor. She is also an enjoyable person, which is a bonus when you spend time together looking at properties! We were buying a home in a new city and she was so helpful in understanding the market, the neighbourhoods, and lining up what we needed with that knowledge. We are in love with our new home and we are incredibly thankful to Ainsley for getting us here. - Julia

Working with Ainsley was a fantastic experience! She took the time that was needed for me to get a strong feel for possible neighborhoods, was absolutely patient and committed to helping us find the best home for us, and developed a deep understanding of my family's needs so she could steer us toward the best options. She's also just a wonderful person to chat with who genuinely cares about her clients. Highly recommended! - Sasha Vivelo
