Andrew Holenchuk - Personal Real Estate Corporation/Team Leader/REALTOR®

Real estate has never been simply about buying and selling homes. It’s about people, relationships, strategy, and helping clients make confident decisions during some of the biggest financial and personal moments of their lives.

Born and raised in Victoria, BC, Andrew has a lifelong connection to the community he proudly calls home. Licensed as a REALTOR® since 2006, he brings 20 years of real estate experience, approximately $1 billion in sales, and a long-standing record as one of Greater Victoria’s consistently high-producing Realtors. An MLS® Gold Award recipient for more than 18 years, Andrew has consistently ranked within the top 1% to 5% of approximately 1,500+ Realtors within the Victoria Real Estate Board.

But Andrew believes experience and accomplishments only matter when they translate into something meaningful for his clients.

His approach is built around preparation, strategy, communication, marketing, and skilled negotiation. Whether representing a seller, buyer, investor, or family preparing for their next chapter, Andrew takes his responsibility seriously: protect his clients’ interests, anticipate challenges before they become problems, provide straightforward advice, and ensure his clients have the information they need to make confident decisions.

For sellers, that means much more than simply putting a property on the MLS®. Andrew combines decades of local relationships with a modern, multi-channel marketing strategy designed to create maximum exposure. Backed by the Victoria Property Group’s extensive client database, Realtor network, digital and social platforms, professional media, and proactive pre-market strategy, every listing is carefully positioned with one objective — reach the largest possible pool of qualified buyers and create the strongest opportunity for the seller.

Before entering real estate, Andrew worked in business development with Community Savings Credit Union and Bank of Montreal, focusing on mortgage lending, investments, and developing relationships with local residents, businesses, and developers. His entrepreneurial background also includes owning and operating several businesses, giving him more than 30 years of combined experience across business, finance, entrepreneurship, and real estate.

Today, Andrew leads the Victoria Property Group, where he has built a team around the same principles that have guided his own career: work hard, prepare relentlessly, communicate openly, continually improve, and always remember whose interests you are there to protect.

That drive began long before real estate.

A competitive soccer goalkeeper throughout his youth and early adulthood, Andrew competed locally and provincially, representing Team BC at the U-15 and U-17 levels and earning the opportunity to represent Canada internationally in Europe. The lessons learned through high-level sport — discipline, preparation, teamwork, resilience, and performing under pressure — continue to influence how he approaches business and life today.

Family remains at the centre of Andrew’s world. He is happily married, has two adult children, and is a proud grandfather. His children have also been involved with the Victoria Property Group, making the business and the relationships built through it an important part of his family’s story.

Andrew also believes success comes with a responsibility to give back. Over the years, he has coached youth sports and served as both a board director and President of a local minor hockey association. Since 2013, he has also helped spearhead an annual Christmas food initiative that provides more than 100 Christmas dinner hampers each year to local families in need — a tradition that has become especially meaningful to Andrew and the entire Victoria Property Group.

Outside of real estate, Andrew remains committed to fitness, personal development, and continually challenging himself to improve. It reflects a philosophy he brings to his business as well: experience is valuable, but there is always another level.

After 20 years in real estate, Andrew’s guiding principles remain remarkably simple: treat people the way you would want to be treated, do what you say you are going to do, and never stop working to create a better outcome for the people who have placed their trust in you.

Because for Andrew and the Victoria Property Group, a successful real estate experience isn’t measured only by the transaction.

It’s measured by the relationship, the experience, the result — and whether a client would confidently trust them again with their family and friends.
