Newport Realty was formed in 1979 by a group of highly-motivated real estate professionals. We believe that superior service encourages customers to return willingly for that service... and to share their experience with others. We recruit and develop the best individuals in our industry. Our mission statement outlines the company philosophy: Newport Realty is an association of individuals who are committed to a high level of service and professional integrity. We aspire to success and are guided by the best interests of our customers and clients.

Newport is recognized for its high-calibre sales force, it's distinctive advertising, and most importantly, for the successes it has brought to home sellers and buyers on Southern Vancouver Island.

We excel in the marketing of condominium and townhouse developments, commercial and industrial properties, and especially, houses in all price ranges. We average over 500 sale transactions each year... opening a lot of doors for our valued clients. The results attained have kept Newport Realty consistently in the top rankings for total M.L.S.® sales.
