Xi Yao

Xi’s journey in real estate started in 2015, when she primarily worked as a professional interpreter and consultant to help facilitate communication in real estate for clients who share different language and cultural backgrounds. Since, Xi built and operated her own translation and language consultancy company, dedicated her time as a court interpreter while managing a high-end retail store in Victoria. She found herself constantly assisting clients by navigating them to real estate related services.  Xi’s experience providing services in retail, her education background in psychology, linguistics, legal and business, combined with skills working as an accredited court & immigration interpreter allow her to approach real estate from a unique angle, as well as understand the fundamental role real estate plays, all of which made the decision to become a licensed realtor a natural progression.  Xi was born in mainland China and moved to Vancouver Island in 2009. Xi fell in love with the beautiful island right away and decided to make it her permanent home. Xi recognizes the potential the island offers, both for investment and for building your forever home. Xi is a hands-on agent who deeply values professionalism and loyalty. Her legal background makes her detail-oriented, and not prone to take any step lightly. She looks forward to the opportunity to work with you, to guide you through the real estate process. It is her goal to make this process as smooth as possible, so that you can enjoy your real estate journey with confidence!
