Laurie is simply the best. This is our third time working with Laurie for buying/selling property and we would not use anyone else. To say that she goes above and beyond is an understatement. Laurie is extremely professional and would only act in the greatest interest of her clients. She has our full trust. - Jeremy Saban
Reply: Thanks so much for the kind words. You have both been amazing through the rollercoaster that is buying and selling. Can't wait to hear about all the pool parties you have and to see what you do with that front yard!
Laurie was highly recommended, and we quickly understood why, as they were exceptional throughout the entire process of buying a home. Laurie is a long-time Ottawa resident, and we were fortunate to be able to leverage the vast experience of their knowledge of where the key areas to purchase a home were, and equally important, which areas to avoid. Laurie's communication promptness, knowledge of the Ottawa market, strategic mindset and positive energy made our purchase process stress free and highly successful. A fantastic real estate agent that we highly recommend! - Amy
Reply: You and Dirk need to take a lot of credit for weeding out what wasn't going to work. Still think you two go the deal of the year!!! Enjoy floating in the pool this summer.
When the time came to sell my parents' home, it seemed overwhelming. Laurie understood how hard it was for my sister and me to have to do it and listened and answered all our questions as they arose. We felt very comfortable reaching out to her. She and her team associate, Catherine, were more than accommodating. We couldn't be more pleased and would definitely recommend her to family and friends. - Denise Alexander
Reply: We were honoured that you and the family chose us to help you. It was a real privilege to get to know you and Pauline. Don't be strangers, we will miss your sense of humour!
Laurie and Jeff were exceptional to work with. We felt informed, supported and as though we were working with the best of the best throughout the process. We are overjoyed to have chosen Laurie as our realtor. - Caroline
Reply: We are so happy that it all worked out and we really really appreciate all the trust.
We had interviewed several agents and were just not connecting. After 5 minutes of talking with Laurie we knew we had found our agent. She was knowledgeable about our area. Explained pricing and how it connected to mortgage approval in our area. She talked about great features of our house that no one else had. And that was just the beginning. We have bought and sold 5 houses and have never had such an amazing agent who really made us feel like she had our best interest at heart. She was direct, told us what we should and shouldn't do in staging. Calmed and reassured us when we were unsure. When offers came in She gave us sound guidance and advice and was an advocate for us with the other agent. Talked us through things we needed to think about. The pictures, write up and video showed our house off and had multiple offers above asking within 36 hours. Everyone else had told us to list $20k below the price we set with Laurie. Amazing. We were out of town when the deal finalized and Laurie made time to still come in person once we were home and congratulate us. You won't go wrong with Laurie and her team. Absolutely amazing!!! - Bobbie and Philip Gormley
Reply: What a dream team we all were! Thank you for saying such kind things and I hope you enjoy all the space and toys in the new home!
Being first time home buyers, Laurie is the best realtor in Ottawa who understood us and helped in finding our home that we love. Right from our first interaction with Laurie, she had been very helpful and thoughtful in providing valuable suggestions and never made us question our decision to go with her. Laurie is very patient, polite, organized and knowledgeable. Looking forward to working with her in the future and we highly recommend her services. - Reshma
Reply: It was truly an honour to help you buy your first home. Lots to learn and you were terrific at taking all the information in and asking questions like professionals!
Laurie and team are exceptional people who really know the Ottawa market. They have always made sure we had the information to make informed decisions. We have used them twice to buy and sell. Will definitely call them again if we move back to the area. So great to work with. - Adam Carlson
Reply: It has always been a blast to help you and the family every time you move Adam. We are always here for you.
If we could give Laurie 20 stars out of 5, we would. This is our 5th transaction with her, and as with the previous, things went smoothly. Laurie is dependable, conscientiousness, and experienced. There's a reason (or ten!) we keep coming back to her. - Nathalie
Reply: You guys are so sweet π₯Ή. We had better be hanging out or at least walking somewhere in the future.
Laurie provided us with expert information regarding previous listings and sales in our market area. She confidently helped us prepare the house for sale. She expertly provided us with a listing price to help sell our house in a rapidly changing market that allowed us to get maximum value for our house. She was always available to meet in person if we required to review data to evaluate the changing market and always provided us with expert advise that allowed us to get the best price in the local area for our house. Her expert communication skills always left us feeling confident about the decisions we made regarding our listing. The listing description and pictures taken for our house were top professional grade that left people commenting on how accurate a description she provided for people to want to come view our house. She had previously assisted with our purchase of this house as we moved from across the country to this area we knew nothing about. Our representative Laurie Gagnier went above and beyond any previous realtor we have every had while selling our numerous houses as we have had to move around this country for our jobs. I highly recommend this outstanding individual to anybody wishing to sell or buy a house in the Ottawa area. - Les Wilson
Reply: Awww shucks you two.....you made me cry. I am going to miss you both but I know you will have an amazing home to go to in a few months. At least this time Cathy gets to see it before you buy it Les! Big hugs to both of you.
Laurie is warm, friendly and professional and loaded with experience and wise advice. It is a difficult market, but with the cost of renting it was still better for me to purchase. Laurie has a gift to intuitively know what you need to find. - Yvette
Reply: Yvette, thank you for the kind words. I was honoured you called me back after all those years and we could structure your next chapter! Enjoy that view!
This is our second time working with Laurie because we know we could count on her to provide the facts, develop a strategy, and take care of business. We were busy relocating to a different country with an infant, so had no time to deal with staging, photos, and showings. Laurie took care of everything and looked after our home until the sale went through. If you need someone who you can trust and count on, Laurie is it. - David H
Reply: Thanks so much David. I hope everything worked out as you hoped. Hugs to Sophie.
If rate my agent had βextra bonus starsβ that is how we would rate Laurie!! Four years ago we were referred to her when we were moving into Ottawa. After our first phone conversation we instantly knew we would work well together. Laurie was highly organized, knowledgeable about the market and responsive. She could read people like a book, and quickly figured out all of our likes and dislikes!! From this we found a great home, but it needed some updates. Laurie had options identified for us in one afternoon to lay new floors, paint, etc. I literally called her my realtor genie!! Fast forward to four years later we decided we were going to sell our house and move back East. We contacted Laurie and within days she had our house on the market. Everything about our listing was high end from photos, videos to a 3D model of our home. We were advertised on all social media platforms and realtor sites. We sold our house in less than 48 hrs with full asking price in a slowing market!! Laurie, we are beyond grateful to you and your amazing team. You have our strongest recommendation to anyone looking for a great realtor in Ottawa! - Karen and Todd Murphy
Reply: So so happy it all worked out Karen. Hope you, Todd & the boys are enjoying the dream home. π€
No bones about it: we hit the jackpot when we found Laurie as our agent. We are first time home buyers and unfamiliar with what is involved in buying a house, so we were looking for someone who would really handle us with care, so to speak. We interviewed multiple agents and immediately felt a fit with Laurie. She was forthcoming and honest, clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and explained things to us without talking down to us. She listened carefully to what we were looking for from the beginning and was patient when even we were unsure what we wanted. It's a very competitive β and quickly changing β market right now and we really needed someone who was on our side and looking out for our best interests. That was Laurie, without a doubt. She was pointing out benefits and drawbacks of every home we visited to ensure we had the full picture and was always willing to spend some time teaching us so we would go into every showing a little more knowledgable. Whenever we offered on a place, she was responsive, strategic, and sympathetic in a way that we really appreciated. And soon we'll have the keys to a home that feels so perfect for us, it kind of feels like we dreamed it up! We are so grateful to Laurie for all her help and look forward to working with her for years to come. - Kayla C.
Reply: The only bourbon to have now is in celebration! π€£. Canβt wait to have coffee after you move in. You two were awesomeβ¦itβs a 2 way street - you took the knowledge offered and applied it every time!
Laurie was recommended by a colleague of mine and we couldn't have been happier - her knowledge, communication, and honesty were exactly what we were looking for in a real estate agent. She was always quick to respond and never hesitated to give us her honest opinion about a potential viewing. She was truly out to help us find our new home - not just any house. Laurie was willing to take us on virtual viewings as we were from out of town and made a point to remember the things we had looked for when we attended viewings together and made sure to show us those same things in houses she viewed virtually with us. No hesitating in recommending Laurie! - Danielle M
Reply: I am so happy you found your home!!! It almost went too fast and I will miss our chats!
Laurie was outstanding in providing patience and care when helping me move to Ottawa. In a few visits she was able to understand exactly what I was looking for and provided all the support required for purchasing my new home. I only wish she warned me about the weather (kidding). - A. Wolow
Reply: If I warned you about the weather I wouldnβt have had the pleasure of your company! Thanks for the trust and I hope the plan worked out!
Always sound and solid advice from a true expert. Laurie brings professionalism, trust and humanity. I give my full trust to Laurie, no hesitation. #nailedit #trust #professional I highly recommend Laurie and her team. This is my second home purchase with Laurie. Laurie and her teams are always quick and responsive. - Gerald Frampton
Reply: You are just the sweetest person and I am tickled pink that you found your "bungalow in the sky"!
Very knowledgeable and very calming demeanour. Practical advice and quick to respond. We enjoyed working with Laurie and really appreciated her approach, her guidance to a successful sale and purchase. Thank you Laurie! - Diane and Michael
Reply: Although the road was long and varied it just meant you were ultimately successful.. and HAPPY! Looking forward to seeing the new garden creation!
Excellent realtor with in-depth knowledge of the Ottawa market. Was available for short notice HHT and had everything booked ( including home inspector) prior to arriving in town. Takes the time to get to know your specific needs and expertly narrows down potential properties. Highly recommended for anyone looking to purchase a home locally or buying remotely/from out of province. - JP
Reply: Thanks for the kind words JP - it was crazy but I am so thrilled you got something you wanted!
Laurie was an amazing realtor; she was helpful, knowledgeable and extremely precise in reviewing the houses we suggested. She realized very fast what we liked and didn't like, which made it so much easier to find the house we liked. She was also efficient at working with us from a distance, which made things so much easier when we came to Ottawa. We highly recommend her! - Endang S
Reply: Thank you both! It was so much fun getting to know you and the girls. Looking forward to the get together!
Laurie is a no nonsense straightforward realtor! I have used her multiple times and have never been steered wrong! She always provides sound advice and her knowledge of builders and the market are incredible! - Matthew Quilley
Reply: Thanks so much! Loving the pictures of the fire pit ;)
Laurie was amazing! As out of town first time home buyers Laurie was there every step of the way. Laurie is VERY knowledgeable, open, supportive, kind and truthful. We couldn't have done it without Laurie's hard work (and patience with us) and we are forever grateful to Laurie for finding us our first home. - Mackenzie Morton
Reply: Awww - thanks you two! What a ride you endured - I am so happy we were able to find your first home. May you have lots of fun there.
When coming to Ottawa in 2019 we chose to work with Laurie by the recommendation of a friend. Being a Military family, we have worked with several agents in the past. Laurie has been the best agent we have had. When it came time to sell, the obvious choice was to use Laurie again. In buying, she took the time to really understand the key points we wanted, and she won't let you buy anything beneath her own quality standards. In selling, she was honest about the market situation and gave practical advice that resulted in a very advantages sale. There is also the BGM team that is always available for any detail you need, if in the rare occurrence Laurie, doesn't do it for you. In either side of the real estate transaction, Laurie will look after you, and ensure you are happy with the result. - Nicole Chaffey
Reply: Thanks so much for putting your trust in us again. We wish you both awesome things in your next posting!
Working with Laurie and the team at BGM Real Estate Team has been amazing. I felt immediately at ease and knew that I could trust Laurie and her advice. She has made the whole experience of selling my place easy and stress-free. I cannot recommend her highly enough. - Audrey Jacques
Reply: Well that was a wild ride! Thank you for being so incredible through the rollercoaster Audrey!
Amazing! Laurie was fantastic from start to finish - giving us advice on how to stage our home for maximum effect, coaching us on the suggested listing price as well as helping us navigate the multitude of offers our (and her!) efforts garnered! She was very quick to respond to any question that we had and made our experience as fun and stress-free as possible. We would not hesitate to recommend Laurie and the rest of her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Ottawa area. - Melanie F
Reply: Thanks so much to both of you! It was so much fun to catch up and laugh!
This is the second time i use Laurie to buy and sell and she has really helped me through this stressful process. She is reliable, consistent and steady - exactly what you need in this stressful market ! - Johanne. Lacroix
Reply: Thanks so much Johanne! Send me a pic of the water when you get to your incredible new place!
Laurie helped us buy a house in Orleans in 2007. 14 years later she helped us sell that same house. She is friendly, professional, and a great listener. She got the job done in trying times and went the extra mile to ensure we got an extremely satisfactory outcome. Fantastic service! Would highly recommend her. - Pamela Fawcett
Reply: Thank you Pam & Fern. Truly honoured you called me after all those years!
Laurie and her team did an exceptional job. Research was first class, identification of homes in our selected zone. We moved to Ontario during Covid 19 in July 2020 and with all the challenges that caused, had to make a purchase on the first home we looked at in less than 30 minutes. That said, Laurie represented us well. Laurie came highly recommended by another agent we used previously in another province. - Janet Crowther
Reply: Wasnβt that crazy?! Thank you both for the trust!
Laurie is by far the best agent I have ever worked with. Very friendly, honest and knowledgeable about many different types of properties. Very quick on responding to e-mails and texts. Always keeps an eye for properties that may interest you. Gave great advise and guidance on the selling of our property. Would highly recommend Laurie for anyone looking to buy or sell! - Ryan C
Reply: Thank you both! Canβt wait for the first gathering around the fire Pit!
Laurie is the BEST! She always had our back with fast replies, was able to get us everything we wanted on budget, wouldn't let us compromise and she did all of this in an extremely intense market. We feel extremely well taken care of. - Kerianne & Goran - Kerianne
Reply: So happy to hear that and hope you are enjoying all the walks from your new digs!
Laurie was a pleasure to work with. We'd been looking for our forever home for just over a year and half, and we had specific requirements in what we were looking for. Laurie was extremely patient with us and did not allow us to compromise, though we were sometimes tempted to. She's extremely honest, trustworthy, hardworking and a blast to hang out with when checking out properties. We'd absolutely recommend Laurie to any of our friends and family. - M-P & Mat
Reply: So glad you found the best place! What a ride it was π Miss hanging out with you both!
Laurie was great to work with during our hunt for our forever home in a difficult market (i.e., sellerβs market). She was helpful, straightforward, and knowledgeable. Any time we needed to communicate with her she was responded in a quick and efficient manner. She understood what type of property we were looking for, and would set up showings for us on fairly short notice at times. I would definitely recommend Laurie as a realtor to anyone looking to buy and/or sell a house in the Ottawa area. - Vicki
Reply: Thank you Vicki! Hope you are enjoying that fabulous sunroom and yard!
Laurie Gagnier is exceptionally knowledgeable, responsive, caring and was the perfect agent to help us navigate this currently challenging and unpredictable market. We always felt that Laurie had our best interests in mind. As a buyer, Laurie helped us to find our dream house in our dream neighbourhood. As a seller, she made the process as stress free as possible. She gave clear guidance on how to best increase our chances for selling at our asking price. Our house sold quickly and at list price. Would recommend Laurie without hesitation. - Michelle Alfieri
Reply: Thank you Michelle! Hope you are enjoying that awesome house!
Laurie is a straight shooter with a keen eye for details. She will let you know if you should to avoid a property or area based on her in-depth knowledge of the area, market, and builders. Laurie was very patient with us given the market conditions (low inventory & COVID), and was willing to put in aggressive offers despite a seller's market to get us what we want. We would highly recommend her services! - Sophie K & David H.
Reply: Thank you so much! Your kind words mean a great deal.
As always, Laurie and her team have been nothing short of extraordinary, especially given the Covid situation. We have entrusted our real estate needs to BGM for over a decade and will continue to do so. Merci! - Nathalie Rochon
Reply: You are always so kind.. and funny. Remember the chocolate covered raisins?
Laurie is very knowledgeable and honest. She is very aware of market conditions and ensures that clients have realistic expectations. She did her homework and came in with a strategy that worked perfectly. I would highly recommend Laurie and the rest of the BGM Real Estate Team!!! - Mark
Reply: Thanks Mark. Miss seeing you around!
Laurie helped us buy our condo and was available and responsive when we had renno questions related to resale. When it came time to sell, she came over and advised us what to finish, then helped stage for the sale. We listed and sold the next day! - David Tucker
Reply: Thanks Tuckerβs! Hope you are livinβ Large out east!
Laurie was very patient, good humoured and extremely knowledgeable. If we had any questions she would respond very quickly I was beginning to wonder if she ever slept. In the throes of the final negotiation she provided a realistic perspective. I will certainly recommend her to my friends and family. - Frank Duggan
Reply: Thanks Frank!
You can tell that she loves what she is doing. She was great to work with. She made the process very easy for us especially during this difficult time. We would highly recommend her to our friends and family:) Thank you from Ann Jeremy Lily and Jiggs - Jeremy Dawson
Reply: Thank you for the kind words! Hope the kitchen Reno went well!
To say that I am impressed is an understatement. Laurie made the entire process of buying a home as painless as a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar purchase could be. Her extensive knowledge and connections meant that she was able to find us the right mortgage broker, the right lawyer, and the right inspectors for our new home. She coordinated everything for us flawlessly! Thank you Laurie! - Sean Sullivan
Reply: You are too kind sir! I know where to go for good coffee now ;)
Laurie was fantastic. She had excellent recommendations to stage the place we were selling. She had a great network of people that can help with any repair you may need, and for making sure the property you are purchasing won't cause any problems. Laurie is extremely responsive any day of the week at any time of the day - W
Reply: Thanks so much W! Hope to visit you again soon.
Alway available and very helpful. Great recommendations re: staging and and has an awesome network of professionals for both minor upgrades at the house being sold, and inspections for the house we bought! - Rick Lessard
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Rick! It was all over so fast - I miss the laughs...
It was a pleasure working with Laurie Gagnier once again! Laurie always goes over and beyond your expectations! Professional, humorous, responsive, knowledgeable not only about the housing market but all its related components. With Laurie you not only find a house but a home. Couldn't have done it without you, Laurie! Wonderful experience! I highly recommend her!, - Mara Indri
Reply: Thanks you Mara. Hope you are well.
Laurie was recommended by multiple friends and during the interview it was clear she matched with us. She was very honest and her experience and support team allowed us to buy an amazing house in a great neighbourhood in less than a week. We will be selling with her as well in the future. Her real feedback was very accurate and was knowledgeable regarding builders and neighbourhoods. It is easy to fall in love with pictures on a website, Laurie quickly commented on better and best properties and saw through the pictures. She was our best realtor yet and this is our 5th purchase. - Adam Beaver
Reply: Thank you so much for the kind words. Iβm blushing βΊοΈ
Laurie was our agent when we bought our home and we knew, without a doubt, that she would be our agent when it came time to sell. She walked us through the entire process, explained the market trends in our area, and gave us great staging advice for our home. If we could take Laurie and her team with us wherever we get posted - WE WOULD!!! I have recommended Laurie to many friends moving to the Ottawa region, and will continue to do so. Her professionalism and integrity are beyond question, and her straight-shooter way of dealing with us was amazing! She and her team deserve 6 out of 5 stars. This is the realtor and team you need!!! - Mary Ferguson-Janes
Reply: Thanks Wonderwoman...miss your smile π
5 Stars are not enough to tell you how AMAZING Laurie is to work with. About 7 years ago, I interviewed 10 realtors and the person who was in second place didn't even come close! Laurie's 'straight shooter' personality was a fit for us and her attention to detail and lighting fast response time is what makes her stand out to trust her with the most expensive purchase of our lives. The added bonuses are that Laurie has an amazing team, from Catherine the coordinating master and Jeff who was a great back up when Laurie was away. You also get Laurie's very well screened network of referrals to experts (inspector, mortgage, HVAC, carpet guy, painter etc...). You won't be disappointed choosing the BGM team!! - Sharon
Reply: Thank you so much for all those kind words π€π€
Laurie is an amazing agent! I am relocating from Toronto to Ottawa and this wonderful woman over three days drove from Constance Bay, to Carp, to Almont, to Black's Corners, to Russell, to Greely, to Osgoode, to Kanata and all parts in between & sometimes back again - to help me find the a perfect house!! She's extremely knowledgeable and her recommendations for trades people are just as excellent as she is. I highly recommend Laurie as she made my purchasing experience super easy and very efficient. PS - I chose Laurie based on her other clients feedback on this site. - Nicole Franc
Reply: I know itβs been awhile, but thank you Nicole. You are one cool π person!
So appreciated the caring and compassion exhibited by Laurie and her team associate Catherine Mamanteo. Also Jeff who filled in when necessary. Being such an emotional sale of our parents' property due to their passing in different years, we definitely had the right agent and her team. Exemplary work ethic, tireless energy and amazing communication skills through the whole selling process. Amazing experience. My sister and I would definitely recommend Laurie Gagnier for any future sales or purchases. Unable to thank you enough. The place was sold in record time. Thanks........... - Pauline Maxwell
