Laura McCollom Accepting New Clients

Laura is, simply-put, the best realtor out there. She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, ethical, and responsive. She gets to know you and what your goals are, then works with you to make that happen. I've worked with her from both the buying and selling side, and she is wonderful. I can't recommend her highly enough. She is everything you want in a professional helping you make the largest financial transaction of your life. She is incredibly hardworking on your behalf, she has your best interests at heart (not her own), she is honest, and she genuinely wants to make sure that you're happy for the long-term. She has consistently gone above and beyond. Thank you, Laura and Laney, for all of the outstanding support and assistance!! - Tiffany Gartner-Bouffard

Laura is everything you would want in a Realtor. We used her to purchase our new Condo. She made sure she knew what we were looking for, and she showed us tons of places. I never felt rushed, or pressured. I felt like she was looking out for my best interests, not her own. She is a warm, friendly person and a consummate professional. Laura is extremely hard working. It seems no matter when I contacted her by text or email she responded very quickly. If I had questions about something she got the answers. She is honest and upfront and and alerted us to any possible issues. She is extremely knowledgeable, efficient and organized. She also went over and above and offered to write up a contract for sale for us when we were selling our own property privately to a family member, and she helped us through that process without any benefit to herself. I can't say enough about Laura. You will not regret having her represent you either buying or selling. - LeeLane Asher

This condo sold due to the hard work, resourcefulness & tenacity of Laura McCollom. There were several unexpected challenges that arose during the course of this sale, but she dealt with all of them with competence, patience & diplomacy. Her expertise, advice & judgement are impeccable. She is amazing! - Mary Kavoos

Cold called Laura after research on Google. She showed up on time and well prepared. After a short interview, we knew we selected the right agent, listed with her, and unit was sold within 3 days. Laney’s help was also a bonus. Highly recommend - Ron Barna

Not knowing the house sale market in Victoria at all, I put my trust in Laura (and Laney) and I knew I had made the right decision. Laura talked me through the process, making sure I understood each step. Within days, the property was on the market, viewings were organised and shortly after, an offer was received. Laura strongly assisted by Laney is very knowledgeable about the market, knows her business and is a great negotiator, she gave good advice, and always responded promptly to any questions. Thank you Laura and Laney for all your help. - Catherine Farmer

My mother asked if I would help her sell her home. Living out of Victoria I googled top realtors and decided on Laura after reading Testimonials. After our initial meeting I was fairly confident I had made the right choice. Almost Immediately we had viewers scheduled. The house sold quickly and In my opinion the right asking price was the key to that. Laura is the best realtor I had dealt with over the years (sorry the rest of you guys) and I would without question ask for her help again. Sincerely Bruce Doyle - Bruce Doyle

We are so happy that we chose Laura to be our realtor. We are first time home buyers, so unfamiliar with...everything. Laura explained everything to us in plain language, answered all our questions and was incredibly patient and caring. Every time we wanted to see a place, she booked it right away and got us there within a day - amazing! She's quick at responding to emails and texts, and throws humour in there to keep things fun and light. Laura truly wants the best for her clients. She ALWAYS gave us a pros and cons list at every property, which we really appreciated. She brought up things that we didn't think of, which would have been a problem later. We definitely dodged a few bullets because of Laura. We can't praise her and her daughter Laney enough - they are an incredible team! We strongly recommend hiring Laura and Laney. You will not be disappointed! - Morgan Mills

There are not enough words to express how much I recommend Laura! I came to Laura 4 1/2 years ago looking to buy an apartment, years and listings later, we just purchased our first singe family home! That should tell you how much Laura cares about her clients and making sure it’s the right fit, she is the furthest thing from pushy and she always puts her clients interests first. Her and Laney were incredible, knowledgeable and supportive. She is there for you always (no joke, she once wrote up an offer for us in Caesar’s Palace!) and always gives the best advice. If you are looking for a realtor who cares about you, wants the best outcome for you, looks out for you, and has the best ethics, I can truly say you cannot get anyone better than Laura and Laney. Whenever we tell people about Laura, they always say “wow - you have an incredible realtor,” and we sure know how lucky we were to have her on this journey. - Hayley Goodgrove

Laura and Laney were great to work with. It was apparent from the start that they are interest in what is best for the buyer whether that means making a sale or not. They are knowledgable and work tirelessly to ensure that the buyer has all pertinent information about the house they are interested in, even if that information could cause the buyer to not purchase the house. There was never any pressure and Laura and Laney made sure that I was 100% comfortable with the house before the conditions were removed. - A. Chu

Laura did an outstanding job. From the initial meeting to closing, Laura was always there for me at a moment's notice providing expertise and guidance.

Laura McCollom has exceeded our expectations and those of all professionals we engaged with during our sale. Right from our first meeting it was clear Laura and Laney had researched our property and understood the complexity of our sale. Laura's legal knowledge was essential and turned many potentially disastrous situations into manageable and solvable issues. During our sale we had to contend with an organized attempt at fraud, rapid changes in market forces, repeated banking complications and delays on the buyers side, residential tenancy law in BC. Our highly experienced lawyer said Laura was the best he had worked with. Having sold property on prior occasions we can say with certainty Laura is the best Real Estate Sales agent we have ever worked with. Quite simply, Laura McCollom and Laney Bourque made the whole process feel more relaxed and streamlined . - Richard and Sonia Lambert

Laura and Laney were invaluable to us in our long search for a family home. They are both incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and personable, and go above and beyond in their communication.

I feel like Laura knew more about what we wanted than we did. We saw lots of homes and always got a truthful assessment.

We always received quick responses and they were always able to slot us in and make time! We are very excited for our new (to us) home and are so happy the way things worked out. - Danielle Dornik
