About Lisa…

Real Estate Made Real

If you’re looking for a real estate agent who’s straightforward, approachable, and deeply committed to your best interests—you’re in the right place.

I’m Lisa Hales, a Cowichan Valley REALTOR® with over 16 years of experience helping people buy and sell homes across this beautiful region I’ve called home since 1973. My style is simple: no pressure, no fluff—just honest guidance, clear communication, and the kind of attention to detail that comes from decades of experience in both real estate and legal work.

Before becoming a REALTOR®, I worked as a Real Estate Paralegal and Legal Assistant. That background gives me a solid understanding of contracts, negotiations, and how to protect your interests throughout the process. It also means I’m meticulous with the paperwork and timelines, so you don’t have to stress over the fine print.

I’m not here to “sell” you—I’m here to work alongside you. Whether you’re buying your first home, upsizing, downsizing, or navigating a complex life change, I take the time to listen, explain, and guide you at your pace. My goal is to make the experience smooth, straightforward, and maybe even a little fun.

Why Clients Choose Me

Most of my business comes from referrals and repeat clients—people who appreciate that I’m reliable, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in helping them succeed. I’m known for being:

  • Calm and clear-headed, especially in high-stress moments

  • A skilled negotiator without being pushy

  • Patient and responsive, always taking the time to answer questions

  • Rooted in the community, with deep knowledge of the Cowichan Valley and its unique neighbourhoods

I work throughout the region—from Duncan, North Cowichan, and Cowichan Bay to Chemainus, Crofton, Ladysmith, Mill Bay, and Lake Cowichan.

Let’s Connect

Real estate is personal. It’s about home, security, and next chapters. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, let’s have a conversation—no pressure, just straight talk about your goals and how I can help.

You can count on me to be real with you, every step of the way.
