Donna Jager

Firstly,  I recognize that for the vast majority of us, real estate is our biggest asset.  Should you choose me to be your Realtor,  please know that I do not take that lightly. I strive for excellence.

I was born on Vancouver Island and have deep roots and community connections as well as local knowledge.  My educational, professional, and leisure/recreational activities have taken me up and down the island and allowed me to experience the beauty of our “island.”  

I am proud to call Vancouver Island my home . We live in an incredibly beautiful part of the world, which I am truly grateful for . Our Island has a tremendous amount to offer, and I am proud to share my island knowledge.

In addition to all aspects of residential real estate, I have developed a specialty in Farms, Acreages and Equestrian Properties on Vancouver Island. When I am not working, I can usually be found on our farm, doing farm related activities, participating in equestrian activities, or out hiking or biking, often with our two Australian Shepherds.  Additionally,  my husband and I co-own a construction company, and we built several residential homes together over the last several years.

The experience of owing and working in the construction business, as well as purchasing our own raw land and developing it into the farm we have now has provided me with excellent “hands on experience, ” adding to my knowledge base of residential construction and property development.

Real Estate on Vancouver Island

Vancouver Island is vast, diverse, and wonderfully complex. Stretching approximately 460 kilometres long and up to 100 kilometres wide, the Island encompasses more than 32,000 square kilometres of land — and no two areas are quite the same.

Soil composition changes from valley to valley. Weather patterns vary dramatically from east to west. Coastal communities, vibrant cities, small towns, and deeply rural landscapes each offer their own character, opportunities, and way of life. Understanding these differences matters — especially when it comes to real estate.

Vancouver Island is home to waterfalls, old-growth forests, scenic hiking trails, fertile farmland, and established farming & equestrian communities. With diverse microclimates, soil types, and landscapes, the Island offers exceptional opportunities for farms, acreages, and equestrian properties, alongside the convenience of nearby towns and service centres.

Residents enjoy world-class recreation including surfing, skiing, fishing, hiking, camping, cycling, and horseback riding, as well as access to shopping centres, schools, and amenities. From productive agricultural land and horse-ready properties to quiet rural acreages and scenic country roads, Vancouver Island supports a wide range of rural and lifestyle property uses.

Whether you’re seeking a working farm, a horse property, or a private acreage, location on Vancouver Island truly matters — and local knowledge makes all the difference.

Testimonials

See what our clients have to say about their experience working with us.

Donna came recommended to us and we were not disappointed! While we’ve purchased homes before, buying a rural property was a new experience and Donna had considerable knowledge about what questions to ask and what to look for. She helped us figure out what we were seeking and was even able to connect us with an unlisted property that checked all our boxes. Once negotiations began, she was tireless at being our advocate, making sure we understood the contracts, and being available to handle considerable back and forth to reach a positive outcome. And we truly enjoyed the time we got to spend with an amazing person. We’re now on our dream farm thanks to Donna. We would happily recommend her to anyone pursuing their real estate dreams!
