Meet Stephen...

Stephen Foster | REALTOR® · Personal Real Estate Corporation

‘Stephen has an effective team that works around him, so that every time we had a concern or needed something, no matter what other deals he had going, we were helped immediately’  — Dr. Pite

Twenty years in Victoria real estate. That’s a long time to watch the market evolve — and I’ve had a front-row seat to every shift, from the rise of online listings to the emergence of video as the dominant medium for showcasing property.

I started producing real estate video content in 2007, long before it was standard practice. What began as a self-produced YouTube channel has grown into a platform with over 1.2 million views and 3,800 subscribers — not because I set out to build an audience, but because video simply works. Buyers across Canada and around the world find properties through my channel. Sellers get exposure that a listing photo alone can’t match.

My background isn’t a typical real estate story. Before this career I performed in Broadway productions across North America with Andrew Lloyd Webber — shows that taught me everything about presentation, timing, and connecting with an audience. I’ve carried that instinct into every listing I’ve taken on. A property needs to tell its story well. My job is to make sure it does.

I’m based in Victoria and work across Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and the broader region. My focus is residential — urban homes in Victoria, waterfront properties along the Island, and recreational and rural properties in the Gulf Islands. I’m a multiple MLS® Gold Award winner and a 20-year member of the Victoria Real Estate Board.

“You have to be seen to be sold.”

How I market your home

Most agents list your home. I market it.

Every listing I take gets a full production approach: drone footage shot on a DJI Mini, interior and exterior video on professional cameras, and a narrated YouTube video that tells the story of the property to buyers wherever they are. That video gets indexed by Google and YouTube, embedded on my site, shared across social platforms, and lives permanently on a channel with over 20 years of audience-building behind it.

Beyond video, every active listing is tracked weekly. You’ll receive a Monday morning report every week your home is on the market — views on REALTOR.ca, website visits, showing feedback from buyer agents, YouTube performance, and market context for your area. Not once at listing and once at offer. Every week, in plain language, so you always know exactly where things stand.

Working with Stephen

When you work with me, you work directly with me. I handle the listing, the marketing, the showings, the negotiations, and the paperwork — supported by systems that keep everything organized and nothing falling through the cracks.

I work with a small number of active listings at any time so I can give each one the attention it deserves. If you’re thinking about selling — whether that’s this month or next year — I’m happy to have a no-pressure conversation about what your property is worth and what a marketing plan for it would look like.
