Hello, my name is Dennis and I’m a dedicated real estate agent based in the beautiful city of Victoria, BC. My journey began 35 years ago when I moved here from Hong Kong. Since then, I’ve embraced everything that this wonderful community has to offer.

Fluently speaking both Mandarin and Cantonese, I am well-equipped to assist a diverse clientele. My deep roots in Victoria, built over decades, have given me an intimate understanding of the local neighborhoods, schools, amenities, and market trends. This local expertise is invaluable when helping clients find their perfect home or investment property.

I studied hotel and restaurant management at Camosun College and worked in management at the prestigious Fairmont Empress Hotel for many years. This background has focused my skills in customer service and attention to detail, which I bring to my real estate practice.

Real estate has always been a passion of mine, and transitioning into this field feels like a natural progression. I am driven by the opportunity to meet new people and build meaningful connections, helping clients navigate one of the most significant decisions of their lives. My goal is to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience, whether you are buying your first home, looking for an investment, or selling your property.

On a personal note, I am a proud father of three wonderful children. In my spare time, you will find me on the basketball court, playing a round of golf, or exploring the latest culinary delights as a passionate foodie.

Whether you are buying your first home, looking for an investment property, or selling your current home, I am here to provide you with exceptional service and expert guidance. Let’s connect and make your real estate dreams a reality!

Feel free to reach out to me anytime. I look forward to working with you!
