Until recently, I’ve been a long established apparel retailer in Victoria who’s been buying, selling and developing real estate since 1981.

After selling the store’s buildings in 2015, my brother Conrad, a REALTOR for 30 years, had been encouraging my wife Darcy and I to engage in real estate as a full time pursuit. As a result of that encouragement, we spent a year completing the Real Estate Licensing Course through the Sauder School of Business at UBC.

Proudly, we’ve been licensed real estate agents since 2016.

For those who know me, I’m confident you’ll find our real estate service mirrors that which we offered at the shop, and I’m certain you’ll be just as happy dealing with Philip Nyren the real estate agent as you were with Philip Nyren the clothier.

By the way, I’d love to catch up with you, as it has been a couple of years gone by. If you’re interested in getting together over a cup of coffee, please email me and we can tee up a time to swap stories. If the phone’s easier, give me a call and we can chat; I’d love to hear from you. Contact information is right here on the website.

I look forward to being of service to you once again.

Philip Nyren

I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba and moved to Victoria in 1995 to accept a job teaching Grade One Boys at the then Junior Boys Campus at Glenlyon Norfolk School.

After spending 18 years as an Elementary School teacher, 12 of them spent at Glenlyon I retired from teaching and joined Phil to work with him at his store, Philip Nyren Menswear & Womenswear. We successfully worked together for 6 years at the store and when Phil sold his retail buildings and closed up shop in 2015 we decided that we’d like to continue working together. After spending a year completing the Real Estate Licensing Course through the Sauder School of Business at UBC, we’ve been licensed real estate agents since 2016.

Although Phil’s name is on this business, as it was at the store, I am working behind the scenes to make sure all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed on all your Real Estate paperwork.

We look forward to working with you.
