Baywood Property Management is one of Victoria's leading property management firms. We are specialists in managing single family homes and our portfolio includes character homes, waterfront properties, acreages, upscale apartments, and townhouse condominiums. Recent additions to our portfolio are furnished homes and apartments for short and long-term lease.

Our clients are investors, business people, Armed Forces personnel, retirees, and young professionals. Each client that entrusts his or her home to us can expect personalized and professional service. We ensure that every home is kept in its best condition, and our screening process and thorough reference checks help us find suitable tenants. Finding the right tenant is only the first step in maintaining each property. Our job also involves developing a relationship with our tenants and we do this through constant communication.

Our success is rooted in our experience in Property Management. Will Carter, the Property Manager, has over 25 years of experience in this field. His thorough knowledge of the Real Estate Act, Residential Tenancy Act, and Strata Property Act has allowed him to teach Property Management and Public Speaking at Camosun College. He is also a member of the Strata Property Agents of BC and has twice held the chair position for the Vancouver Island chapter of the Real Estate Institute of Canada (and Institute of Real Estate Management).
