About VIP Relocation Services
At VIP Relocation Services, we specialize in making your move to Vancouver Island or the Southern Gulf Islands as seamless and supported as possible. Led by Sherry Moir, a former licensed real estate professional with deep roots in the region, our mission is to give retirees and newcomers expert guidance, personalized support, and local insight every step of the way.
While Sherry is no longer a licensed real estate agent and does not represent buyers or sellers directly, she draws on years of real estate experience to help you clarify what you’re looking for and match that with the right community and type of home. As part of this, she connects you with trusted, licensed real estate partners to handle the actual purchase and sale.
From exploring communities and housing options to planning your transition and thinking through how you want daily life to feel, we focus on the decisions that shape your day-to-day experience and long-term happiness.
With VIP Relocation Services, you’re not just moving—you’re thoughtfully planning your next chapter, with a guide who understands both the region and the emotional side of starting fresh.
Why I created a community‑first relocation service
Over the years I’ve watched many people start their move by falling in love with a house online, only to discover later that the community wasn’t the right fit. Maybe the ferry schedule was more stressful than they expected, healthcare was harder to access, winter felt too dark and quiet, or the pace of life just didn’t match what they pictured.
After my own moves between Metro Vancouver, the Gulf Islands, and Vancouver Island, and years working in real estate, it became clear that most people weren’t getting help with the first and most important question: “Which community is actually right for how I want to live?”
VIP Relocation Services was created to fill that gap. Instead of pushing you toward one town or one property, I help you step back, compare communities honestly, and make a decision you’ll still feel good about years from now.
What it’s like to work together
I keep things straightforward, personal, and practical. No pressure, no sales scripts—just clear information and honest guidance.
Discovery & lifestyle clarity
We start with a conversation (and often the VIP Community Finder) to understand your timeline, budget, health needs, ferry comfort, and how you actually want your days to feel.Community short list & reality check
Together we compare specific communities—the pros, cons, and trade‑offs—and narrow down a short list of places that fit your lifestyle, budget, and comfort level.Local connections & next steps
Once you’re confident about where to focus, I connect you with trusted local real estate professionals and resources in those communities, so you can start viewing homes and planning your move with much more confidence.
