Ilana Pretoruis

Victoria Real Estate Specialist

My real estate journey began 18 years ago with the purchase of a run-down fixer-upper in Northern Manitoba. Since then, I've renovated and restored several properties, co-owned a construction business with my project-manager husband, raised two fabulous children, and pursued my accounting degree.

With a background in renovation and construction, I have a unique ability to see the big picture while paying close attention to the small details that can impact a property's value. This perspective allows me to provide both buyers and sellers with insightful advice, ensuring their best interests are always at the forefront.

My approach is built on integrity, personalized service, and a genuine commitment to making the real estate process smooth and enjoyable. I pride myself on being personable and easygoing, with strong communication skills and excellent tenant-relations management.

Buying or selling a home is an exciting milestone and often the beginning of a new chapter in life. I am here to guide you through every step, making the process easier, more enjoyable, and less time-consuming than if you were to go it alone.

Feel free to browse my website and reach out to me with any questions about buying or selling a home in the area. 

I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your real estate goals!

What My Clients Say

Client experiences

I would highly recommend Ilana for anyone’s real estate needs.   She offered above and beyond service throughout with great communication, responsiveness and was very friendly and personable.   But most importantly, she was  understanding and compassionate to our needs while we navigated the house shopping roller coaster!!

Testimonial

We needed to find housing for our daughter and was trying to navigate the process from the US. Once I connected with Ilana she went to work immediately sending us listings and on more than one occasion she attended open houses on our behalf, while Zooming with us so that we could see the places. She's incredibly considerate of her clients. I know exactly who I'm calling if ever we decide to relocate to Victoria. Thank you for everything!

Testimonial

I sent Ilana an email asking for assistance on Saturday night. We had our application approved for the perfect place on Thursday afternoon. I don't know what else there is to say. We thought we were going to have to take a week off work to fly to Victoria to look at places. I didn't even have to take off an afternoon!

Victoria's rental shortage and moving to a new country can make the process of finding a home daunting. However, Ilana's calm demeanor. empathy and professionalism came to the rescue and I felt as if I had a friend looking after my families interests in finding a home.  Thanks Ilana for all your assistance.
