Greater Victoria Real Estate
Meet the Team Behind
Victoria's Most Trusted Name
Anna Hakim and Perry Fanthorpe are the co-founders of the Happy Homes Team at eXp Realty in Greater Victoria, BC. Together, they have built one of the most recognised and respected real estate teams on Southern Vancouver Island.
Both are AI Certified Agents, certified through the KREM Institute, which means they are not just familiar with technology. They are credentialed experts in using artificial intelligence to market properties smarter, serve clients better, and deliver results that traditional agents simply cannot match.
Their core belief is simple: real estate should feel personal, not transactional. Every client relationship is built on trust, transparency, and a genuine commitment to finding the right home in the right community. As expert negotiation strategists, the Happy Homes Team brings a strategic edge to every transaction, advocating fiercely for their clients' best interests, especially for out-of-province relocators who need someone fighting for them in an unfamiliar market.

The Difference
What Makes the Happy Homes Team
Different from Every Other Team
Real estate is crowded with agents making big promises. Here is how the Happy Homes Team delivers on theirs.
AI Certified Agents
The Happy Homes Team does not just use technology. They are certified experts in AI-driven real estate, credentialed through the KREM Institute. This means they understand how to leverage machine learning, predictive analytics, and intelligent marketing automation to serve their clients at a level that traditional agents cannot reach.
From precision-targeted digital campaigns that reach the right buyers, to AI-powered property valuations that are smarter and more accurate, to automated market analysis that keeps clients informed in real time, the Happy Homes Team uses every tool available to get better results, faster.
Boutique Luxury Experience
The Happy Homes Team is not a volume mill. They are a boutique practice where every client gets personalised, white-glove service. That means you never get lost in the shuffle, and you never feel like just another file on a desk.
Every listing receives premium marketing that includes a custom-built property website, cinematic walkthrough videos, professional photography, targeted social media campaigns, and strategic digital outreach. They market properties like a brand, not a listing.
Community-First Approach
The Happy Homes Team does not just sell houses. They help people put down roots in Greater Victoria. Their community guides, neighbourhood profiles, and local resources are designed to help newcomers and lifelong residents alike discover the best of what the region has to offer. As negotiation strategists, they ensure that every client, especially those relocating from out of province, gets the strongest possible terms and a true advocate working on their behalf.
From dog-friendly patios and hidden beaches to school catchments and mortgage helper regulations, the Happy Homes Team creates the resources that make Greater Victoria feel like home. That commitment to community is what earned them their reputation as Greater Victoria's trusted local experts.

Our Story
Built on Belief,
Rooted in Victoria
Perry Fanthorpe brings a legendary Victoria background to the Happy Homes Team. He previously owned some of Victoria's most iconic venues, including Scandals nightclub and Evolution nightclub, and spent decades deeply embedded in the city's social and business fabric.
Anna Hakim brings a passion for community and belonging that goes far beyond property transactions. Her gift for connecting people with the neighbourhoods, rituals, and rhythms that make Victoria feel like home has made her one of the most trusted names in Greater Victoria real estate.
Together, Anna and Perry built the Happy Homes Team on a single belief: that real estate should feel personal, not transactional. Every relationship matters. Every home tells a story. And the best agents are the ones who listen before they sell.
