“When you work with me you will have an easy, hassle free real estate transaction whether it be buying or selling, as I work in all areas of real estate and am here to help you and your family find the ideal home, location and future that works for you.”
Ray Francis
In Ray's words
Welcome, I am proud to have been helping families find homes for over 30 years! As a real estate agent I am very knowledgeable about the Comox Valley and surrounding areas.
I am experienced and practice integrity when working on your behalf. When you work with me you will have an easy, hassle free real estate transaction whether it be buying or selling as I work in all areas of real estate and am here to help you and your family find the ideal home, location and future that works for you.
Contact me anytime for a home evaluation, to learn more about my marketing presentation or to discuss your potential purchase or sale! I look forward to hearing from you.
In practice that means 38 years in real estate, 34 of them here in the Valley, behind every opinion he gives you. Ray works the same way with buyers as he does with sellers: listen first, price and compare honestly, and say so plainly when a home or a moment is wrong. He knows the communities he covers street by street, from the Courtenay river flats to Campbell River, and his SRES® downsizing work has moved many long-time owners out of the family home without turning it into two moves. If you would rather read before you call, start with the guides he has written or what clients say afterwards, then get in touch when you are ready.

August 2026, Client for 16 years, several moves
Ray has been my realtor for approximately 4 years now. He has assisted myself and my family through our journeys of purchasing and selling homes. Ray is professional, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile to make sure his clients are comfortable and understand the real estate process, from start to finish. He always answers our questions and respects our needs. He strives to ensure that his clients find exactly what they are looking for, which can be a tall order, and he has infinite patience! I highly recommend Ray, whether you are a first-time buyer or you've done this a time or two.

I cannot say enough about how good it was to work with Ray. He seamlessly navigated me through both the sale of my home and purchase of my next home. He really listened to me, gave me great guidance and found me exactly what I was looking for (no small feat). He was kind, patient, always made himself available and kept me regularly updated. He really went the extra mile. I truly couldn't be happier with the whole experience and most highly recommend Ray.
