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

If rate my agent had “extra bonus stars” 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

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 – and quickly changing – 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Laurie was great to work with during our hunt for our forever home in a difficult market (i.e., seller’s 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

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

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.
