Brittani Todson

Sales Representative

Real estate has been part of Brittani’s story from the very beginning. Growing up with REALTOR® parents, she frequented open houses before she could even walk. After spending her early years in the Lower Mainland, she moved to Victoria 25 years ago. For the past decade, she’s been proud to call Esquimalt home.

Before becoming a REALTOR®, Brittani dedicated 15 years to serving the community through her work with Community Living Victoria and the BC Family Maintenance Agency. In those roles, her steady, empathetic nature helped countless families navigate difficult and often stressful situations. That experience now shapes her approach in real estate, where she understands that buying or selling a home is as much an emotional journey as it is a financial one.

As an agent, Brittani is known for being communicative, organized, and refreshingly straightforward. Integrity is at the heart of everything she does, and her clients know they can count on her for honest guidance and unwavering support through every stage of the process.

When she’s not working with clients, you’ll often find Brittani playing volleyball, cycling along the E&N Trail, or relaxing at home with her beloved dog, Tia.
