About

AmbersHouse brings together four real estate professionals with decades of experience to help buyers and sellers reach their real estate goals. The firm was established in 2013 by Amber Simpson who was joined first by real estate veteran Bev Carey, then Courtenay Skipsey, and a little later by Lindsay Hamilton. This collaborative partnership leverages on each member’s individual strengths and talents, but at the same time, takes on a strong team approach, where the client is always the central focus.

The AmbersHouse team is proud to consist of a team who have lived all their lives in Victoria and the surrounding areas. They are delighted to be able to share their knowledge and their love for this beautiful part of Canada.

These four dynamic women value the energy of their collaboration and the openness of their working relationships. The team philosophy is ultimately to the benefit of the client who has a community of agents to rely upon, so there will always be someone available to help. The collective of AmbersHouse is made up of enthusiastic and motivated professionals with a shared goal to make the real estate experience as enjoyable and as stress-free as possible for their clients.

Amber’s entrepreneurial spirit fuels her passion in all that she does. With her University of Victoria Bachelor’s degree in Family and Child Counselling, she started her working life as a counselor for high-risk families and as a foster parent for at-risk youth. She opened the first of a successful chain of preschools and is herself a mother of four. She came into her real estate career 12 years ago, where her genuine care for her clients, approachability and uncompromising integrity resulted in her winning MLS Gold Awards for many consecutive years.

Amber is passionate about real estate and proud to be leading the strong team she has built at AmbersHouse. More recently, Amber has been channelling her efforts and marketing expertise into developing a new state-of-the-art digital platform that will be a veritable value-add for her clients when marketing their homes.
