Laurie Appleton Accepting New Clients

Laurie helped us buy our first home and we were very impressed with her. Now she just sold my mom’s condo and did a great job selling it quickly and making the sale less stressful for my mom. - Ruben

Very easy transaction for our first place. Laurie was very easy to deal with over the phone and in person when navigating through this tough market in BC. Highly recommend! Thanks Laurie! - Travis

Laurie was hands-down the best realtor we have worked with in the last 20 years. She helped us buy the condo of our dreams in Victoria BC while coordinating with us in Alberta. Her knowledge of various neighbourhoods and the local market was an invaluable asset. We are particularly impressed with Laurie’s quick responsiveness to any questions, ability to obtain information, and her excellent negotiating skills. We are truly grateful for having Laurie help us through the process and will definitely refer her to anyone we know looking for an exceptional realtor in Victoria. Thank you so much Laurie! - Greg and Stephanie Hansen

My elderly father and I viewed the process of moving to aged care and emptying and selling the house with dread, but Laurie helped to make it run smoothly. She is an excellent listener who takes time to understand where people are coming from and what their priorities are. She had the details of the market at her finger tips and a huge network to connect with for services. With her help, we sold above our expectations and in a very short time. I feel lucky to have worked with her and recommend her outstanding professionalism, care, and expertise. - Winnifred Louis

Laurie lead a very successful condo selling process for my elderly moms condo. What really impressed me about Laurie was both her absolute professionalism as well as a very high personal emotional intelligence. It seemed Laurie intuitively knew the person to person support my mom needed. The successful selling of the condo was pretty easy for my mom because from day 1 she trusted Laurie. - Karen Sterling

Laurie was very easy going and funny. Which made the experience very positive. She was patient with us until we found property that we were looking for. We would recommend her to anyone and would use her again. - Brett Wright

We could not have had a better realtor to help us find what we were looking for. She worked tirelessly to find something that met our very specific needs and did this long distance. We appreciated the time she took to help us eliminate properties and the times she honestly told us certain properties were not a good fit for us. Laurie provided expertise and was able to listen to and accommodate our needs. She patiently answered our many questions about properties and the process and was as excited as we were to find the perfect property for us. - Rob and Cathy

I could not have asked for a better agent to help me with purchasing my first home! Laurie was kind and attentive, throughout the process I felt heard and supported. She provided invaluable guidance and expertise and made the whole experience stress free. I was so impressed with her great communication and fast response time. Thank you Laurie! - Lauren

Laurie originally helped us find our Condo. When we called her to tell her we had a big move coming she was more than happy to come help us out. Laurie is very friendly and a joy to talk to making for a very smooth and comfortable buying/selling experience. - Ethan and Ira

We wanted to buy an apartment in Greater Victoria to move from Montreal and join our son and his family who lives in Saanich. We had a short budget and were looking for a condo in a good location, 2 bedrooms, good natural light, in-suite laundry, low strata fee ... Our criteria resulted in viewing more than 20 apartments, where my son and daughter-in-law visited each property and at the same time showed the property to us by on-line video chats. Anytime that we requested a visit from Laurie, she was very responsive and made it happen as quickly as possible. Her friendly and kind manner for all the visits were the same as the first one, very supportive and encouraging. She was very knowledgeable and fair to point out both positive and negative aspects of each condo. I have seen some realtor agents who just elaborate about positive aspects of an apartment and sacrifice the truth of mentioning the negative aspects of the apartment only because they want to speed up the process and reach to their commission, but that was not the case for Laurie. She is truly a professional realtor with a high level of integrity. I have also seen realtor agents that only set up an automatic system for the client to receive new properties listed in the last 24 hours but Laurie, in addition to setting up her very useful website, was also actively involved in searching, finding and suggesting apartments to us. Even when a good apartment had a conditional accepted offer, she paid attention if the condition was not met and immediately informed us to be the first to make our offer. Anyways, due to high criteria that we had, we needed to visit many properties. I believe we had a lot of work for Laurie, nearly equivalent to five customers for workload, but she was always happy to support us and to give us encouragement and hope that we would find what we wanted. This eventually happened. We found a beautiful, charming apartment that matches our criteria and budget. All of us are very grateful and appreciate Laurie’s continued support and strongly recommend her. Khadijeh (Buyer) and Ryan Mokarian (Son and Khadijeh’s representative) - Khadijeh

Laurie helped us to purchase a suitable condo for our parents. She was with us in all stages of the purchase. She is very expert in her field and we used her knowledge through the process. We will definitively go to Laurie again on our next transaction. - Maysam Mokarian

Laurie Appleton is a wonderful realtor. Very responsive. Goes out of her way to ensure the property is well presented. Found a very competent painter to freshen up the place before listing it. She dealt with the council to obtain documents so I didn’t have to do that. - Marlene

Laurie is the most amazing and supportive realtor I’ve known. A true professional! When viewing a home she notices every detail (nothing escapes her) and reviews those details after. If a home seems challenging in its current state, she has great vision of what could be, and a great deal of design knowledge. Her sense of humour and affable personality makes her a treat to work with. It’s obvious she enjoys her profession and her clients! We will miss spending time with her now that the deal has closed. - Tom and Pat Lawrence

Laurie was very nice to work with , her professionalism was great and she was very easy to talk to and she worked very hard to help me sell my property and I would recommend her in a heartbeat she was that good at what she does. - Richard Kemp

very helpful did what needed to be done to sell my dads place. kept me informed of showings and what else was for sale in the same building even though it was a down time in the market - Jason Witteveen

Working with Laurie Appleton is working with the best, as simple as that . I had an experience as no other. Laurie is very professional and is very knowledgeable of the Victoria real estate market. I worked in the past with other real estate agents, but no comparison. As I did not live in the house anymore Laurie went the extra mile to help me, with everything. She cut the lawn 2 times a week and even put the electricity bill on her name . Laurie gave me an update every week. I can't recommend Laurie enough, a fantastic person to work with. Thank You Laurie for everything . - Dirk Van Damme

I had pleasure of working with Laurie again to purchase my third property in the last 4 months. She is a passionate real estate agent with high level of expertise. She is very nice, proactive, and active listener. She has always been a great support during negotiations and accomplishes everything with a remarkable degree of integrity and competency that is difficult to find these days. She spends her time for you and really goes above and beyond. For example, a few days before closing date we asked her if we can go to condo to do some cleaning and touch up on the walls. She not only quickly arranged to go there, but also stayed with us and helped us with floor and walls' cleaning! I definitely recommend her. - Ryan Mokarian

I recently bought a home with my two cousins and Laurie was extremely helpful and pleasant to work with during the whole process! We are all first time home buyers and she was very good with holding our hands through the process and answering our sometimes silly seeming questions. While we already had a property in mind when we reached out to Laurie she still provided us with alternative listings that were good matches to our criteria, and efficiently shepherded us through the process once we decided for sure on the initial property. She was always easy to get a hold of and very accommodating of our various schedules when meeting up (not always easy especially when one of us works night shift). We were recommended Laurie by a friend and are very glad to have taken that recommendation. - Melissa

As a result of the recommendation of a good friend, I very fortunately contracted with Laurie Appleton to sell my house. She was a tremendous help in preparing my house to sell, helping me pack up, as well as doing extra errands, keeping in touch and generally helping me. She is also very patient! She got along well with others who were involved. Laurie went beyond what would normally be the job of a Real Estate sales person. I highly recommend her. - Penelope Hallet-Mainguy
