Welcome to Salt Spring Island
Our agents live on and specialize in Salt Spring Island, and are thrilled to offer their clients the increased exposure that an affiliation with one of Victoria’s largest and most respected real estate companies has to offer.
Our office is situated in Grace Point Square at the center of things in Ganges and is only steps away from the famous Saturday Market and the Tuesday Local Farmers’ Market, which run from the spring season to the fall and are both hosted in Centennial Park. Many other local producers and farmers sell their products at roadside farm stands where customers pay in the ‘honor box’.
We have so much to share from music to arts, farm to table bounty, ocean adventures, connection to nature and wellness. When can you get here?

Of the three villages on the island, Ganges, located at the head of Ganges Harbour on the eastern side of the island, is the major center and focal point for arts, cuisine, local shops and services. It offers all the core services you might require during your stay: marina, banks, insurance companies, hardware, housewares, groceries stores, pharmacies and more.
