Jason Anson Personal Real Estate Corporation
Accurate Home Values. Proven Results.
I don't guess your home's value. I prove it using actual market value and real market movement so you can protect your equity and move forward with confidence.
Why the Numbers Matter
Value affects what a buyer is prepared to pay, what a seller is prepared to accept and how much equity is protected. Actual Market Value comes from the market evidence and informs the assessed value, not the other way around.
This becomes even more important with waterfront homes, acreage and other unique properties where clean comparables may be limited. In those cases, the answer has to be built from the best available sales evidence, local market movement and the features buyers are actually paying for.

I specialize in waterfront homes, acreages and other unique properties, where getting the value right can be especially difficult. My reviews consistently come back to three things that matter when selling those properties: local knowledge, accurate pricing and results.

"Jason is extremely knowledgeable and works very hard to get the best for his clients. Outstanding results!"
~ Chad G.
"He was able to list and sell our house very quickly!"
~ Chris P.
Those three things become especially important when a property is difficult to compare. Knowing the community and the property helps identify which sales actually matter. Understanding the evidence helps establish the Actual Market Value range. Pricing within that range gives the seller a stronger position when the property reaches the market.
One client summed that up better than I could.
"Very accurate in his evaluation of home prices. Nowadays with assessments all over the place this is crucial."

Award-Winning Real Estate Guidance You Can Trust
For three years in a row, readers of the Cowichan Valley Citizen have voted me Best Real Estate Agent through the People’s Choice Awards.
That recognition means a lot because it comes from the community I work in. As a Vancouver Island real estate agent, my job is to understand what a home is actually worth, price it properly, protect the seller’s equity and guide the sale from beginning to end.
I have spent more than 30 years on Vancouver Island. That local knowledge, combined with comparable sales, market movement and the evidence behind every pricing decision, is what I bring to every home I represent.
What Reading Market Movement Actually Means
Comparable sales are where pricing starts, but they are not always where it ends. A similar home may have sold three, six or twelve months ago. If prices have changed since then, that sale needs to be brought into the context of today's market.
I look at what sold, when it sold and how that local market moved between those sales and today. I use that evidence alongside the comparable homes to determine where the property in front of me belongs now.
This matters even more with waterfront homes, acreage and other properties that are difficult to compare. When there is no clean comparable nearby, the value has to be built from the best evidence available, including location, property characteristics and market movement.
My property assessment work became the training ground for that discipline. In an assessment appeal, I establish Actual Market Value from the evidence, put the analysis in writing and defend it before independent adjudicators at the Property Assessment Appeal Board. That creates a valuation record that can be independently checked.
These results come from valuation arguments tested through an independent appeal process. The published decisions can be checked at OverAssessed.ca.
Establishing value is one part of the job. Listing a home puts that analysis in front of real buyers who decide what they are prepared to pay.
My MLS sales history measures three practical results: whether the houses I list sell, how long completed sales spend on the market and how closely the sale price matches the asking price at the time of sale.
81% of the single family properties I listed sold or went under contract. Completed listing sales had a median of 28 days on market, and the median sale price was 99.5% of the asking price at the time of sale.
75% of my completed listing sales have been in Youbou, Lake Cowichan and Honeymoon Bay, the part of Vancouver Island where much of my work is concentrated.
The two records measure different things. The appeal work independently tests my ability to establish and defend Actual Market Value. The MLS record shows how that valuation discipline performs when it meets sellers, buyers and the open market.
MLS performance statistics are based on my Vancouver Island Real Estate Board MLS® sales history between June 1, 2021 and July 31, 2026. Median days on market and median sale price compared with asking price are calculated from completed listing-side sales. The single family success rate is calculated at the property level and includes properties sold or under contract during the reporting period. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Individual property and market conditions vary.
