Karli Ann Fortin

My passion is embracing big moves toward growth and supporting people in their aspirations and inspirations — this is where I truly come to life. My own life has included one big transition after another. I’ve learned to embrace change wholeheartedly, and when I can ease the process and help make it an enjoyable experience for others, I feel I am fulfilling my purpose. Born and raised between the Cowichan Valley and Salt Spring Island, I have travelled and moved considerably, with stops in Whistler, Squamish and Vancouver, as well as winters living in Mexico and further abroad. At 19 I began a career in plumbing, which carried me through a 15-year chapter with no shortage of adventure and enjoyment. But when it came time to put down stronger roots in a career that fulfilled me on a deeper level, real estate was an obvious choice. Coming home to the Cowichan Valley was also obvious — this is where my heart has always resided. I studied and attained my Realtor’s licence and am licensed with Pemberton Holmes, serving clients in both the Cowichan Valley, Sooke, and Victoria. From my plumbing background, I bring an eye for both detail and distress in homes, as well as a strong understanding of good house construction. From my own personality, I have a sharp sense of what needs to be done to achieve a desired result, with rapid responses and quick action on opportunity. I’m passionate about doing the best job I can, through listening and providing communication that leaves clients satisfied, knowing they can speak openly and honestly and expect the same in return.
