Winter arrives!

Hard to believe but we got a lot of snow.  Rumours that Victoria residents called 911 to report the strange white stuff falling from the sky are untrue...but make a great story!  :-)  Yes, we do sometimes get snow but it is pretty rare.  I had geraniums winter over for years on my sundeck before a freak frost ( - 8 C.) did them in.

So we do get a bit of cold and snow here but not much and winter is short and usually pretty mild.  So mild in fact, that people can grow a "winter garden" and a local resident, Linda Gilkeson writes gardening books on how to grow vegetables that you can harvest in the winter months....nothing like getting lettuce from your garden in January and February.  Of course, if it happens to snow then you have to cover them.

So, if you want to move here and enjoy the Island lifestyle (I just bottled 30 bottles of rhubarb wine using my own rhubarb and it is a lovely light wine with a hint of rhubarb smell) then let me know.  I can put you on my Private Client Services (PCS) and that way whoever a property comes up for sale on MLS then you get an immediate email if the property meets your criteria as to price, rooms, etc.

Take care...Spring will be here soon!

    I've been on Salt Spring for almost 14  years, raised my kids here and continue to enjoy my life on this wonderful island.

We have purchased two properties with homes through Rob Irving within the last five years.  He has proven to be both professional and knowledgeable in the island's real estate market.  He has worked diligently in protecting our interests by following up with Island authorities on code, zoning, water and sewage questions. I highly recommend Rob Irving to others considering either buying or selling 
real estate.

I don't like house-hunting but Rob made it much easier in a variety of ways.  I liked how he would not just ask you to walk through each house freely, but would offer his own opinion on the pros and cons of each property we visited, based on what he learned about our needs and wants.  Even though we took a very long time (~18 months) to find the house that suited us, not once did he show any signs of becoming impatient. It gave us great pleasure to send one or two more clients his way.
