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.
