Zoi Livia and Christian Ravlic are 100% genuine and trustworthy. They work so very hard for their clients. We can say this because they worked with us for almost three (!) years and we saw them in action. We were completely confident that they had our best interests top of mind, not their commission. When we finally found our dream home, we had only 18 hours to submit an offer in a bidding war. In this pressure cooker situation, Zoi and Christian deployed a wicked combination of 'people skills' and strategy. We are convinced that we won the bidding war because of Zoi and Christian. This is the team you want on your side!

Tanus and North, your review means more to us than we can properly put into words. Thank you for trusting us throughout such an important chapter of your lives and for allowing us to be part of the journey to finding your dream home in Greater Victoria.
Over the course of nearly three years together, we explored so many different neighbourhoods, lifestyles, and possibilities across Victoria, always believing that the right home would eventually reveal itself — and when that exceptional mid-century modern property in Broadmead came to market, we all knew immediately that this was the one. It remains one of the most memorable homes we have had the privilege of helping clients secure.
The first day on market brought intense competition and a fast-moving multiple-offer situation with very little time to act. In high-pressure bidding wars like this, strategy, communication, relationships, negotiation experience, and understanding the human side of real estate can make all the difference. We are incredibly proud that through a thoughtful multi-layered approach, we were able to help you secure the property without submitting the highest price.
Moments like these are exactly why clients hire experienced real estate advisors in Victoria, BC — not simply to open doors, but to advocate, strategize, negotiate, and protect their clients’ best interests through one of life’s biggest decisions.
One thing we often tell our buyers is that when an offer falls apart or a home is lost in competition, it is usually because the right property is still waiting ahead. Your story became the perfect example of that. Every previous disappointment led directly to the home that truly fit your vision, lifestyle, and future.
Most importantly, beyond the real estate itself, we are grateful for the friendship that came from this experience. Working with kind, thoughtful people like you is the reason we love what we do. Thank you again for your trust, your patience, and for allowing Victoria Real Estate Collective to help guide such an exciting and emotional journey. We could not be happier for you both. 🤍
