Ever called a trade company about a small job and never heard back? On this episode of the Victoria Real Estate Podcast, Adrian sits down with Nolan Hupp and Adam Vincent, the owners of Jacks, Victoria’s home services marketplace connecting homeowners, realtors, and property managers with local tradespeople and skilled workers.

Nolan and Adam both grew up in Victoria and first crossed paths doing side work for yacht owners at the marina. They share how that led to Jacks, how the platform works on both sides, and why they think Victoria is the right place for it.

In this episode:

  • What Jacks is, in plain terms, and how a homeowner can post a job quickly
  • How tradespeople and handypeople find and bid on work
  • Why small jobs often get ignored or overquoted by big trade companies
  • How Victoria’s trades shortage and older housing stock make this harder for homeowners
  • How realtors can use Jacks for pre-listing prep, condition periods, and post-possession fixes
  • How landlords and property managers can speed up between-tenant turnarounds
  • How bidding, vetting, insurance, and public reviews help protect homeowners
  • What’s next for Jacks and where the founders want to take it

Whether you’re a realtor, investor, landlord, or homeowner, this one is worth a listen.
