Oliver Katz

Celebrating 26 years of helping people buy and sell real estate in Sooke on Vancouver Island, Oliver brings a wealth of experience and local knowledge to the table. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, he’s called BC home since 1988 and has been living on the Island since 1994. He and his wife Julie, married 39 years this year, raised their two daughters right here in Sooke.

Oliver’s friendly approach, deep market insight, and strong negotiating skills make him a great choice whether you’re buying or selling.

He’s been consistently recognized as one of the top Realtors with the Victoria Real Estate Board, earning the MLS Gold Award 21 times — given to the top 10% of agents. He’s also a proud recipient of the RE/MAX Titan Award, celebrating outstanding sales achievements.

Oliver credits his long-term success to always putting his clients first. Combine that with top-tier marketing, and it’s a formula that continues to deliver results year after year.

He offers high-end, in-house video marketing through Sooke's Home Team YouTube channel: Watch here. With a full suite of gear and creative tools, the team produces everything from floor plans and professional photos to 3D tours and cinematic videos. These are shared across social media — Facebook, Instagram — and major real estate sites like Realtor.ca, SookesHomeTeam.com, and Remax.ca, giving each listing maximum exposure.

The goal is simple: make your home stand out and get you the best possible price.

Now in his 27th year, Oliver’s service-focused approach and skilled negotiating are the cornerstones of his work. With the national reach of RE/MAX and the local expertise of Sooke’s Home Team, clients get the best of both worlds — wide exposure and personalized care.
