Generations of service

People first. Island built.

Our roots run deep on Vancouver Island. It began in 1851, when Joseph Despard Pemberton arrived to survey the region — laying out Victoria and communities from Sooke to Nanaimo.

In 1887, Pemberton & Son opened as engineers, surveyors, and real estate agents. The firm became Pemberton Holmes in 1933 — beginning a brokerage legacy that has never left the island.

Six generations of family leadership have carried us forward, most recently with Michael Holmes in 2003. Through every era, we've stayed independently owned, locally led, and committed to the communities we serve.

Today, that history shows up in how we work. We put people before transactions, invest in local relationships, and give agents the training, technology, and support to build lasting careers here at home — not somewhere else.

It was a Simple Decision to Join Pemberton Holmes

My career began years ago with another brokerage – I then took a leave of absence to raise my family. When I decided to come back into real estate, it was a simple decision to join Pemberton Holmes – a reputable company that feels like an extension of my own family. I have always been encouraged and supported by the managing brokers as well as the other agents within the brokerage. The administration staff are also excellent and an incredible support to all team members. There are often complicated transactions that arise, and I've always had professional and swift assistance from my brokers. I can rely on their experience and knowledge when I need it most. I would, without hesitation, recommend Pemberton Holmes to other agents as my experience has been so positive.
