Helen Winfield
With over eight years of experience in both residential and commercial real estate, I’m proud to help clients make Vancouver Island their home — whether they’re settling into their first house, upgrading to a dream property, or investing in a business opportunity.
After a successful career as an investment banker and Chartered Accountant in London, England, I relocated to the Cowichan Valley with my family more than 20 years ago. The transition from big-city life to the peace and quiet of the Island has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. I bring my financial acumen, analytical skills, and global perspective to every client relationship, helping to guide informed decisions with confidence and care.
I specialize in properties from Victoria to Campbell River, with a special focus on the Cowichan Valley — a region I love for its natural beauty, outdoor lifestyle, and strong sense of community. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me kayaking around the Gulf Islands or hiking up a steep hill with friends — my favorite way to enjoy “me time” in this stunning part of the world.
I love meeting new people and helping them find not just a house, but a place to truly call home. Let’s make your Island dream a reality.
