Favourite Realtor in Campbell River? It’s About More Than Just Sales Numbers

by Ashley Wilson

Every community has that question floating around.. here, it is:

Who’s the best Realtor in Campbell River?”

And sure — sales numbers, awards, and glossy marketing matter. But, ask around long enough, and you’ll notice something interesting: people don’t remember the number of homes you sold, they certainly don't remember that JUST SOLD post; they remember how you made them feel during one of the biggest transitions of their lives.

That’s what being someone's favourite Realtor is really about.


More Than a Transaction

Real estate isn’t just contracts and commissions — it’s the long conversations at kitchen tables, texts throughout the day, and the calm voice on the other end when the nerves hit.

When I meet clients, I don’t see a deal waiting to close. I see someone building their next chapter. That shift — from transaction to transformation — changes everything. The journey, the excitement, the fun checking out new properties. 

In Campbell River, that mindset matters. We’re a coastal town built on deep connection. People know each other here; they care about who you are, not just what you do... AND they talk about their experiences.


Collaboration Over Competition

The secret to long-term success in real estate? It’s not fighting to be the only one — it’s showing up as the right one, for the right client.

There’s room for everyone who works with integrity and genuine intent. Collaboration over competition isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s how great agents elevate the entire experience — for clients and for each other.

When agents share ideas, insights, and even opportunities, everyone wins — but especially our clients. The deals are smoother, the communication’s clearer, and the community thrives. When the goal is growth and learning, together, we all have to elevate.

Campbell River deserves Realtors who cheer each other on, not just chase the next listing.... and I am grateful to say, we are very fortunate to have that here, and have an incredible group of collaborative, fun, authentic, and kind Real Estate Agents, to work with, to collaborate with, to negotiate with.


What Clients Actually Remember

Ask past clients what made their experience stand out, and you’ll hear things like:

  • She listened.”

  • He made it simple.

  • I felt like I had a teammate, not a salesperson.”

  • "She was so organized, and thorough."

That’s the difference between being someone’s Realtor, and being their favourite Realtor. It is about advocacy, empathy, and a little bit of fun along the way (or a lot of fun!)

Buying or selling a home should feel exciting, not exhausting.


Why This Matters in Campbell River

Our market is unique — a blend of locals, mainland movers, and people chasing that Vancouver Island peace.
They’re not looking for pushy or performative; they’re looking for REAL. Authentic. Kind. Caring.

When you build your business around relationships instead of rivalry, people can feel it. They see it in your marketing, in your interactions, and even how you talk about your peers. That’s what earns long-term trust — not just another “Top Producer” badge.


The Ripple Effect

When collaboration becomes the norm, the ripple reaches everyone:

  • Clients get better service.

  • Agents grow together instead of against each other.

  • The industry gains trust and credibility.

That’s the future of real estate — especially here in Campbell River, where community isn’t a buzzword; it’s our baseline.


So, what makes Campbell River's favourite Realtor?

Being someone’s favourite Realtor doesn’t happen because of volume — it happens because of values.

It’s how you show up. How you communicate. How you collaborate.
And, most importantly, how you make people feel when they finally get to call Campbell River home.
