About Terry Stockus

Raised in Toronto and having spent a number of years in Calgary, I came to Victoria in 2002 and was sold on the quality of our West Coast climate and lifestyle. Raising children and having had the opportunity to build my own custom home in the Uplands neighbourhood of Oak Bay, I know what is important to family living. The West Coast experience that’s often talked about is so tangible in the Capital Region. Moving to The Peninsula has elevated this existence because of the beautiful environment around us…from the shops and cafes of Sidney, the lushness of our farm community to the spectacular waterfront of North Saanich.

My passion for the industry began in my early 20s, working for a real estate office in Ontario. I was able to get a sense of the industry at an early age. I enjoyed the fact that the people I worked for were creating tangible, positive changes in the lives of their clients. This is something I pride myself on; this sector is all about people and helping them take the next step in their life. I have had the opportunity to work with my clients as their needs have evolved over time. We’ve grown together and I have been able to use my own life experiences to empathize with their situations. I understand the emotions involved with the decisions surrounding buying and selling property and the impact this has on the people making them. The focus on people, and recognizing that each client has an individualized need has been a key component of my success. My philosophy is to value the person over the property, I truly believe in providing a personalized level of service. Investing into the relationship is important if you’re sincere about helping someone.

One of the most important aspects of my approach is to manage clients’ expectations relative to the current market, clearly communicating what is realistic is vital, it prevents frustration and disappointment and ultimately provides a better experience. Having honest conversations builds trust, especially with the significance of real estate transactions. I have built my reputation on this approach and have been fortunate enough to have a very high rate of repeat business and referrals because of it. Long-lasting relationships that stretch over multiple property purchases and sales have given me the opportunity to provide solutions for clients on both ends of the spectrum

I design and execute an intelligent and relevant marketing strategy that represents my client’s properties both locally and internationally. As a consistent producer, I believe my success is in building trust and providing outstanding service. Backed by the power of The Agency’s extraordinary reputation and marketing, my strong work ethic, drive and simply going that extra mile has allowed me to build long-lasting relationships with my clients.

My continued success in Real Estate can be attributed to my core value of commitment to my clients. I pride myself on affording them the highest level of professional service and expertise combined with a deep knowledge of the real estate market and fundamentals.

Let my knowledge, integrity and cheerful way help lead you to your new front door!
