Ilana Pretoruis

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.

In 2018, with the kids off to college, I decided to leave the corporate world and follow my passion for real estate. After one final renovation and a move to Vancouver Island, I fulfilled my dream of becoming a real estate professional. Today, I am fortunate to live and serve on this beautiful island.

I joined Pemberton Holmes, where I initially managed the Relocation Division of the Property Management Division for two years. In 2023, I expanded my property management portfolio, bringing my extensive experience and dedication to a broader range of clients. I was also excited to join the Stieg and Manning Real Estate Team, further enhancing my ability to help clients buy, sell, invest in, and manage their properties.

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!
