Andrew holds two degrees from the University of Victoria, one in French, the other in Education. He has allowed his passions for language and chess to guide his work experience, having spent a year teaching English in Paris, and having successfully opened a chess school in Taiwan, which still runs today.

In addition to English, Andrew is fluent in French and Mandarin, making him an excellent source for condo buyers of these language backgrounds. He has been inside every building in downtown Victoria, has sold units in new developments, condos, and penthouses, and has represented townhouse development sales.

Andrew has a daughter, Jasmine, and son, Joshua, with his wife, Shu-Hui. The Hobbs family is a proud supporter of Unicef, and SOS Children’s Villages, for which they sponsor a little boy named Abel in Malawai, Africa.

A Word on Strata Fees & What They Include

In Victoria the terms 'Strata fees, monthly assessment, and condo fees' all refer to the same thing: the monthly amount an owner pays to manage and maintain the common areas of a complex/building. Those areas will or may include roofs, the envelope, the grounds (and any plants on them), parking lots, elevators, exercise rooms, swimming pools/hot tubs, meeting rooms, guest suites and any other shared areas.

Strata fees are extremely important to consider when budgeting, but equally important is to understand that they are not a bad thing!
