Seller | Lantzville, BC | Long-distance estate sale | July 2025 As the executor of my father’s estate and living full-time in California, I knew selling his home in Lantzville was going to be logistically complex and emotionally loaded. What I didn’t know was how incredibly lucky I’d be to find Laura Healey. From the very first call, Laura was warm, professional, organized, and completely dialed in to what needed to happen—not just to list the house, but to truly take care of everything. She took the reins with grace and precision, coordinating all the moving parts you’d expect (and many you wouldn’t):    •   Scheduling and overseeing carpet replacement    •   Managing trades for small repairs (painting, electrical, etc.)    •   Coordinating the home inspection and final deep clean    •   Organizing yard cleanup, junk removal, and dump containers    •   Helping with the final clean-out of the house—something that meant a lot, personally Because I was doing all this remotely, clear communication was key—and Laura nailed it. I always felt informed, supported, and in good hands. She even made the long-distance closing of escrow feel smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was how emotionally intelligent and proactive she was throughout the process. I never once felt like “just another client.” She genuinely cares—about the people behind the transaction, not just the paperwork. If you’re dealing with an estate sale, an out-of-town transaction, or just want a realtor who’s organized, communicative, kind, and seriously competent, Laura is your person. She made a difficult life moment so much easier. I’ll always be grateful. - Alexandra H North

Although we’ve decided to build, after a year long search and multiple homes that Laura sent us I’ve developed a wonderful relationship with Laura!

Laura is absolutely fantastic! The sale of my late friend’s house was complicated by the fact it was on Vancouver Island, and I am not.
