Welcome to Gary Sims Victoria Homes - Greater Victoria BC Real Estate Market (79)

February 28, 2024

Hi Everyone, As many of you know, Rosemary Tulett, my wife and previous real estate partner has retired from her work after (almost) 9 years as a Realtor® with DFH Real Estate Ltd. at the end of December 2023. She has now taken on parttime duties helping me out as my Registered Unlicensed Assistant. That has required a bit of rebranding because we were officially registered as a Real Estate Team with BCFSA and BCREA under the name "Rosemary and Gary Victoria Homes Team". Alas, we are not allowed to use that name any longer as of January 1st, 2024 and are now going under the name "Gary Sims Victoria Homes".

Towards this we have now created a new introduction channel video with our changed name and focus. Please take a minute to
