Our Story

Chris Markham is the Owner and Managing Broker of Century 21 Queenswood Realty.  He entered the real estate business in 1984 and started his own independent brokerage in 1995.  Recognizing the value of a franchise, in 2007 the company rebranded with Century 21. In 2013 the 50-year-old property management company, David Burr Ltd., was purchased, adding property and strata management to the real estate trading services already offered. We are located in the heart of Cadboro Bay with easy access to Downtown, Oak Bay and Saanich. Experience and market knowledge are trademarks of our high caliber sales associates as well as the property/strata management team.

Katie Markham is fantastic at what she does- she is organized, meticulous, caring, and works really hard to help tenants feel heard. Residents at v1488 were sad to see her hand off management duties to another person, she’s great.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your recent assistance with my move out and inspection. You went above and beyond in every sense and were an absolute pleasure to deal with, and what’s more, a source of great help and encouragement in an otherwise very stressful time for me. While I have for now moved on to Vancouver to embark on a career in investment banking, it is my great hope that in a year or two I can return again to live in Victoria and you can be assured that when I do, you will be the first person I call when seeking a new place. Wishing you and all the staff a lovely holiday and New Year.

Many thanks for showing us round Wilmer. It was great to see how well they are looking after the property. Please thank Laura for the guided tour and her husband for all the work he has done. Looks great and is much appreciated.

Great staff! Super helpful and respectful landlords. The 1488 downtown Victoria is a pet friendly, very nice building. Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed the area with lots near by to eat and to see. Our dog loved the nearby parks as well. Again amazing staff!

Thanks for all your advice on my property this year. You have really been an advocate for me.Thank you for great service!
