We recently purchased a home in Victoria with the help of Brock and his partner Owen, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Even though Brock was technically our agent, the two of them worked so seamlessly together that it truly felt like we had an entire team working for us.

Since we weren’t very familiar with Victoria, Brock started by giving us a thoughtful tour of different neighbourhoods and property types, helping us get a feel for the area. As we shared feedback, he tailored the search and quickly honed in on the kinds of homes that were the right fit for us. Not once did we feel pressured into a decision — instead, we always felt that Brock genuinely had our best interests at heart.

What really stood out was his professional eye during home tours. He pointed out details and potential concerns that we would have completely missed on our own, which gave us a lot of confidence in our choices. Throughout the process, Brock was quick to respond, meticulous about follow-ups, and never left us hanging on any detail.

On top of all that, he has an easy-going, approachable personality while still being thoroughly professional — the perfect balance when navigating something as important as buying a home. We’re so grateful to Brock (and Owen!) for making the process smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone who’s truly on your side, we can’t recommend Brock highly enough.

We recently worked with Brock on our first home purchase in Victoria. Being new to Victoria, the idea of buying a house was a bit daunting. We did not know much about any neighbourhoods or where we would want to live. Brock was a great sounding board. He really listened to what we said we would be looking for in a home and neighbourhood and gave us a lot of ideas to think about. He spent an entire day driving us all over just so we could get a feel of the areas to see if any stood out. He was patient, kind and we had some good laughs along the way. We ended up finding the perfect place to call home and appreciate the support both Brock and Owen gave us along the way. We would not hesitate to work with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home on the Island.

Brock Nordman helped my father sell his condo, and we were very impressed with him throughout the process. From gathering data to determine the right valuation, to staging the unit for showings, to tenaciously pursuing buyers in a challenging market—Brock handled everything with professionalism and persistence. He kept us informed at every stage and guided us smoothly through to a successful close. It would have been very difficult to complete the sale without his expertise. I highly recommend him.

We first met Brock when he sold our dream home to someone else…
In his defence, he did warn us that there was already an accepted offer on it but we still really wanted to see it so he obliged so that heartbreak is on us haha
What really impressed us about him was his demeanour— there was no arrogance or condescension. We had been to open houses on our own before and right away felt like we were on a car sale lot… not a great vibe. But we told Brock we were first time home buyers and he took the time to answer all our questions and didn’t make us feel stupid for any of them. He even answered questions we didn’t even know we had and had a folder designed to walk you through all the steps you can expect in the home buying journey. He didn’t pressure us at all and just let us know that we could reach out if we thought of anything else. He told us he remembered his first home buying experience and wanted to make sure everyone else had better than he did and you could tell he really meant it. We are really glad we chose him and if we ever sell or want to buy again we will be calling him for sure! Thanks Brock!

While looking for and selling a home a realtor friend suggested Owen and Brock of Compass Realty would do a good job.
They came to our house and impressed us on our first meeting as they explained how they worked and their fundamental principles of honesty, open communication and attention to our privacy: they subsequently demonstrated all those qualities.
The second visit after we engaged them they came to the house
looked over the house ,explained the steps they would take and went away to gather data to enable us to make a price point decision .
They presented information that enabled us to come to that decision.
Since it was close to the Holidays they advised us to wait until the New Year to go to market but began to show us properties
both in Victoria but also in mid Island after ascertaining what it seemed we wanted and also I'm sure to gauge our reactions in
order to better help us.
We felt completely supported by both of them throughout the process and completely enjoyed their company.
In the New Year they engaged a colleague to stage the house a
process which involved for us a lot of useful heartbreak as we began our own process of downsizing and giving up objects with ultimate objective of making the house a perfect palette for buyers to
paint their own picture. Jamie the person who did the staging
was very helpful and the result was perfect.
Then the pictures , the drone shots of the house and the area and the production of the website and media all very competently rendered.
We went away for the neighbourhood open house and the 2 subsequent public open houses to find a day later two offers over the asking price ,one of which we subsequently accepted.
I had no idea of the tremendous amount of work the team had to put in nor how they managed so well to deal with our foibles and own disagreements and support us so brilliantly through this. This is for the seller always a difficult process and yet they
made it smooth and almost easy with a stunning result.
Needless to say we have done this before but without the expertise , thought and camaraderie that went with this sale

Brock was actually amazing. His instincts were perfect as far as price and timing which are essential skills in this market. It sold quickly at what seemed like a decent price. He did quite a bit of aesthetic work on the place while it was vacant. Even though this exceeded anything we expected, and he was so cheerful about it. I could not imagine working with anyone else in the Victoria area.

Thank you so much, Brock, for your exceptional service throughout our first home-selling-and-buying experience. You guided us through every step of the process with patience and expertise - the booklet guide was an amazing detail! We really appreciate how you accomodated and organized viewing schedules within our limited availability. It was such a pleasure having you as our realtor, we are so grateful to you and Owen for the support and dedication!
