In Laura's Own Words:
My name is LAURA HEALEY, and I am a realtor living and working in the beautiful ‘Hub City’ of Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island.
I absolutely love life in my immediate community of Nanaimo’s Old City Quarter, and all over this incredible island, sincerely considering it a privilege to help others fulfill their real estate dreams here. To this end, as I feel it is very important to know and wholeheartedly trust a realtor from the outset of what will likely be the most significant transaction of your life, I have provided you with a head-start on this page.
Here, you will find an overview of my personal and professional background, my real estate experience, and even my hobbies and interests! ;
Whether you are looking to buy or sell a home in Nanaimo, I will guide you along every step of your journey, ensuring that the process is as transparent, smooth, and stress-free as possible.
That is my guarantee.
As a Vancouver Island girl through and through I know the island extremely well – especially the Central Island region - so can help you find the home of your dreams in the area you desire, or else guide you in selling your home for the highest market value. Why do so with me? Well, real estate as a profession seems to be something of a family thing: my father spent many years running a large mortgage brokerage, and my mother was once a legal conveyancer for a large Comox Valley real estate firm, so I guess it’s in my blood!
“Buying our dream home was a remarkably stress-free and surprisingly enjoyable process, much of it due to Laura’s unswerving professionalism and excellent level of communication.” – DAVID & SUSAN MORRISON
I was born in Comox and grew up in the gorgeous Miracle Beach area. I worked in Customer Service at Mountain Meadow Sports and the Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa (both in Courtenay), before moving to Nanaimo in 2001 to attend university for five years. Graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Business & Marketing, I worked for Starbucks® in Vancouver, then Enterprise Rent-A-Car® in Courtenay and Duncan, before returning to Nanaimo…where, because I love the city so much, I have remained ever since!
“She definitely goes above and beyond!” – JENNIFER DESOR
In my downtime I love exploring beautiful Vancouver Island with my dog, spending time with family and friends, and both local and international travel. The mild climate here, as well as the proximity of the city to nature and major cities like Vancouver, Victoria and even Seattle, make Nanaimo an ideal home for me, which is another reason I love to help people find their forever homes in Nanaimo. I also practice yoga and maintain a healthy lifestyle, especially by eating local produce from the many excellent farmers’ markets on Vancouver Island.
Well, that’s a little about me, but I am excited to get to know you when embarking on our journey to find your perfect home or sell your current one.

Home Sale in Rocky Point, North Vancouver, BC | Mar 2022
Laura went above and beyond our expectations. She is very friendly and very professional. Laura put us in touch with different vendors that facilitated our move and clean up of the house we were vacating. She kept in touch throughout the sale and moving process, always asking if there was something she could help us with. We would highly recommend her to anybody looking for a realtor. She was great!

Home Purchase in Departure Bay, Nanaimo, BC | Feb 2022
When we were interested in moving from Ontario to the Nanaimo, we searched the Internet for a real estate agent that would have integrity and knowledge of the Island market. In addition, since we were buying from another province, we needed our agent to be honest and trustworthy, as if she was buying a home for herself. To say that Laura met these qualities is a complete understatement. Laura first asked many questions about what we wanted in our future Island home She then actively searched for homes that met our criteria. She did not push but guided us with feedback about different areas and types of homes. When our dream Island home came up on the market, she skillfully navigated the very difficult negotiations (as the market was red hot with many bids). With her suggestion that we supply the seller with a personal letter we were picked from the various bids even though we did not have the highest bid. Since our purchase Laura has also been our advisor and friend helping us with adapting to the Island (insurance, driver’s licenses, utilities and so forth). We could not have picked a better agent to guide and support us on this monumental change in our lives. You are awesome Laura! Sincerely, Gordon, Maggie, Kevin, Anna and Leo (golden doodle) - Gordon Farlie
Home Purchase in Nanaimo, BC | Feb 2022
I wouldn’t be loving life in my first house without Laura’s expert service. I am often unreachable while at work driving a boom boat; Laura not only won me the house, but went above and beyond to ensure I had everything lined up to close the deal. I’m forever grateful Laura! - Brooks
Home Purchase in Harewood, Nanaimo, BC | Jun 2021
Laura is a fantastic realtor. I contacted her while still living in St. John's, NL as I was planning my move to Nanaimo. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market in Nanaimo. She was so quick quick to respond through call or text regarding questions I had, and about the many houses I enquired about. She happily walked me through many homes virtually while I was still in St. John's, and then took my mom through many homes while I was away for work but still needing to find a place to live! She was on the ball in this crazy market - quick to get appointments to show me houses that just popped up onto the market. She won't pressure you into anything you are unsure about. She gets the job done. Once the offer was in on my house and accepted, she dealt with all aspects of the sale of my house (contacting lawyer, setting up home inspection, etc.) - I literally just had to get my financing in place and show up to the house on closing day. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a realtor whether you are selling or buying a home in Nanaimo! - Erin Herder

Home Purchase in Nanaimo, BC | Oct 2020
Laura was a wonderful agent who was always attentive, diligent and knowledgeable. She was very friendly, she was familiar with the entire area and the understood what we were looking for. She respected the budget we put forward. She took us to see whatever we asked and was always forthcoming with information and advice. She identified things she considered red flags with certain properties. She also has a lot of connections in the community and makes an effort for you to feel welcomed to Nanaimo (it was a new city for us). She puts in effort to help newcomers get established and meet other new people. All in all, I would use her again in a heartbeat, buying or selling. - Vanessa McMaster

Home Purchase in Vancouver, BC | Nov 2021
Laura was wonderful! She was patient and professional with our many questions and guided us with expertise through our first home purchase. She diligently uncovered the story of each house we had viewed (never shying away from dark crawl spaces and tough questions) so that we could make informed decisions along the way. We also appreciated that she had shared a professional network of service providers after the sale. Laura is a true partner for the home buying journey! - Crystal
Townhome Purchase in Nanaimo, BC | Sep 2021
Laura is both an amazing realtor and a caring person. After the first call with her, we knew that she would be the right fit for my partner and I. Previously living on the mainland, we needed someone who really knew Nanaimo inside out. And this being our first time buying a townhouse, we needed someone who would answer all, and sometimes too many, of our questions. Laura was this person and even more! Offering virtual tours, providing advice for mortgage and insurance, preparing an offer that would get the place of our dreams… She eased all our concerns and made the whole process enjoyable and exciting. Her help didn’t stop after signing the paperwork. Laura was there to welcome us on our moving day and even surprised us with extra pairs of hands. She made our first home a welcoming and hassle-free experience. We simply cannot recommend her enough! - Maxime & Uday
Home Purchase in Errington, Nanaimo, BC | Jul 2021

Home Sale in Central Nanaimo, Nanaimo, BC | Jun 2020
We are so fortunate to have met Laura. Over a span of 11 years Laura has helped with the sale of 2 homes & the purchase of our daughter and son in laws house … twice. We found ourselves recently needing a realtor for our dads home on the mainland and Laura was our first stop once again. She searched and found us a fantastic realtor there. She cares about our journeys. Every one of them. A very special quality indeed! Thank you Laura for everything you do ❤️ - Mick & Cathy

Property Purchase in Nanaimo, BC | Apr 2021
My wife and I would like to thank Laura for all her help with our recent home purchase. Laura quickly tuned in to our preferences and needs and was johnny-on-the-spot to identify the perfect buying opportunity for us. She was very effective in navigating the offer process for us and we came to agreement with the seller quickly and at a fair price - no small accomplishment in this over-heated market. Once the agreement was signed, Laura was diligent in communicating and following up with next steps. Along the way, she answered our many questions and help us with many contacts and recommendations. We are now in our new home and couldn't be happier. All-in-all the process was as smooth as it could possibly be. Thanks again, Laura, for your outstanding work on our behalf. Highly recommended! - Ronald Greeves

Laura is more than a realtor - she was there to answer all of our questions as new homeowners and to guide us through the process of buying our first house. Her experience and connections in and around Nanaimo made it easy to imagine what our new life would be coming from another city. She knew all of the appointments to set up during the inspection, and was perfect. We really don't know what we would have done without her, and would highly recommend her. - Jason K

We have worked with a number of other Realtors over the years, both buying and selling. Laura is by far the best! - Betsy Wager

It was such a pleasure working with Laura. She really puts in the time to ensure you see listings as soon as they become available. She encouraged me to view many homes and never made me feel like I was wasting her time. Laura found me a home that had everything I was looking for and I would never have recognized it myself. Laura negotiated the deal and got me everything that I wanted. It is very apparent that Laura cares about her clients and works in their best interests. Laura is professional, energetic, and enthusiastic - she made the process easy and a lot of fun. - Stacy Hammond

We met Laura at an open house we dropped in to and we were immediately impressed. Laura was polished and professional and most importantly to us she was not pushy. We engaged Laura to help us find our home. She was unbelievably patient, very responsive and very passionate about her work. We looked at dozens and dozens of houses before finding the absolute perfect home. Laura represented us exceedingly well during the negotiations and supported us throughout the entire process. We've become good friends with her as a result and could not recommend her highly enough. - Geoff Poulton

She spent as much time as we needed to help us refine our search parameters and answer all of our questions. It was clear that her main focus is to find the right home for her clients. Laura always kept our best interests in mind We are honestly not sure we would’ve found such an excellent fit of a new home with any other realtor. - Alea & Doug

Property Purchase in Nanaimo, BC | May 2020
We have just had the wonderful experience of buying a house with a real estate agent we really appreciate and trust. When it comes to buying a house, this was as good as it gets. Laura was nothing, if not absolutely patient with us, as we refined our needs and redefined the lifestyle we wanted. She was knowledgeable about the inventory in the areas and whether we would find the amenities we wanted nearby. She also has an excellent group of folks who could help with expert opinions on things like renovations, inspections or legal questions. She made sure all the bases were covered, reducing the stress that is inevitable with buying a house. We ended up with a great house at a great price. Bottom line: we felt we were working with someone who cared and who really knew what she was doing. Priceless! Gregg Reese and Rhonda Alderson - Rhonda Alderson

She even drove us for 2 hours in Nanaimo for free just for us to be more familiarize in town and to know which is good and which is not for my family. Her bed time is 10:30pm and yet she will extend her time just to chat with us planning for house viewing for the next day. We also had a car trouble one-time and she was there for us like an angel.
