I’m Anja Rhomberg, REALTOR® with REMAX Professionals and a proud member of the Ian Thompson & Associates team. As your trusted real estate agent, I provide professional real estate services tailored to help clients buy, sell, and invest with confidence.
In addition to traditional real estate, I bring years of hands-on experience with rental properties — from short-term to mid-term to long-term. This allows me to guide clients not only toward a home they’ll love, but also toward investments that generate sustainable income and long-term growth.
What sets me apart is the way I combine strong business expertise with a people-first approach. Clients describe me as energetic, driven, and approachable — someone who tells it like it is while always keeping their best interests at heart. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I’ll walk you through every step with clarity, care, and determination.
Being part of the Ian Thompson & Associates team means you benefit from the strength of a trusted, experienced group, paired with my personal dedication to your success.
To me, real estate is about more than transactions. It’s about unlocking futures, building connections, and helping people step confidently into their next chapter — one key at a time.
Please reach out to me if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Get pre-approved with a trusted mortgage professional. It’s not as glamorous as touring houses, but it sets your budget, saves time, and makes your offer stand out when you find the one.
Yes, 100%. The listing agent works for the seller — not you. I represent your best interests, handle the details, and negotiate so you don’t leave money (or sanity) on the table.
Once your offer is accepted, you’re usually looking at 30–60 days until possession, depending on financing, inspections, and your lawyer’s timeline.
The minimum in Canada is 5% for homes under $500,000. Above that, it scales up. If you’re buying an investment property, expect to need at least 20%. I can connect you with a mortgage broker to run your numbers.
Budget for legal fees, inspections, appraisal costs, insurance, property transfer tax, and moving expenses. I’ll give you a clear estimate before you start shopping.
I look at comparable sales, current market conditions, and your home’s unique features. The goal is to price strategically — to attract buyers and maximize your sale price without sitting stale on the market.
It helps. First impressions matter. Sometimes it’s as simple as decluttering and rearranging — I’ll guide you on what’s worth doing and what’s not.
It depends on the market and price point. Well-prepared, well-priced homes in Nanaimo often sell within 2–6 weeks. I’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
That’s when I go into full coordination mode — managing timelines, communication, and paperwork with the buyer’s agent, your lawyer, and everyone else involved to ensure a smooth closing.
I combine professional photography, targeted online exposure, social media marketing, and personalized open houses. Every home gets its own tailored marketing plan — not a copy-paste template.
We don’t panic. We pivot. I’ll analyze feedback and adjust the strategy if needed — whether it’s pricing, presentation, or marketing focus.
I bring a mix of real estate expertise, strong negotiation skills, and an investor’s mindset. I don’t just sell homes — I help people make smart property decisions that fit their future.
Definitely. I have a network of trusted local professionals I work with regularly and can introduce you to the right people for your situation.
Of course. No pressure, no obligation. Whether you’re six weeks or six months away, I’ll help you prepare so you’re confident when the time comes.
I’m Anja Rhomberg, your dedicated REALTOR® with REMAX Professionals. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing in Vancouver Island real estate, I’d love to chat and help you take the next step.
