From our Associates

Megan O'Leary
“Coming from a background in development sales, over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with many REALTORS® in Victoria. Newport REALTORS® always stood out to me for their kindness, their respectful nature, and their professionalism. So, when I was deciding what brokerage to team up with, it was a clear choice.”
Megan O’Leary
David Brown
“In 2017 I approached Newport as a new REALTOR®. I’m glad I did. In our meeting I sensed it was a good fit. There was their warm personal manner, a feeling of family with great professional associates and a strong management team. I’ve since discovered that Newport truly wants me and my clients to be successful. They’re helpful in every way… I know joining Newport was the best decision I could have made. I’m proud to be part of such an excellent organization.”
David Brown
Shelby Donald
“I moved over to Newport Realty because of the people and the company’s broad network. Newport has highly regarded Realtors, professionals who truly know what they’re doing, and are fun to work with! The strength of the ownership and management at the company is also a big factor. They are well respected, long time members of our community.”
Shelby Donald
Stephanie Pink
“I started with Newport when I was 22 during my last year at UVic. My REALTO® father Tom felt it was the only company for me to consider for a career. Veteran REALTORS® so helped me and made me welcome from day one. Now over 18 Years later I look back on that decision and feel fortunate. Newport Realty stands out as a brand and excels in the market. Everyone goes quietly about their business but is right there to help. What a great feeling there. I’m proud to be a part of it.”
Stephanie Pink
Wendy Moreton
“Moving over from Vancouver and starting a new career in real estate, I looked for an independent company with local owners. One with a solid reputation. My friend told me about Newport Realty and I liked their image and their approach. It was warm and personal. I so enjoy the spirit of cooperation from such a cohesive group including the amazing support of an Administration team. Newport’s ‘principles’ are followed fondly so we’re clear on what is the right thing to do for those counting on us. At the same time it’s an office that enjoys itself. And enjoys the profession.”
Wendy Moreton
Cameron Northover
“When I became licensed in 2017 my first and only interview was at Newport Realty because I knew it was where I wanted to be. With my background in Performing Arts I have learned to “read the room” and the Newport associates and staff have a positive energy which promotes a great atmosphere. The Administration staff should get their own award for excellence and I personally give them a gold star of approval. They are very supportive and helpful with my paperwork; which is appreciated. The management are barre none and our weekly meetings are always fun and informative. If I were to sum up in three words the Newport environment it would be Integrity, Professionalism and Honesty. For REALTORS® new and old, Newport Realty is my recommended brokerage."
