If you are a first-time homebuyer looking at the current real estate market and feeling absolutely overwhelmed, stop scrolling and read this immediately. When my husband and I first started this process, we were completely new to the market and, honestly, incredibly anxious. Enter Loriane. From day one, she completely changed the game for us. Here is exactly why you need Loriane in your corner: Zero Gatekeeping, Total Clarity: She walked us through the entire homebuying process step-by-step. Her communication is crystal clear, and she never left us guessing about next steps. Super Prompt and Action-Oriented: She was incredibly fast at getting us in to see a huge variety of homes, always bringing the best, most practical advice to the table. The Ultimate "No-Push" Vibe: Loriane genuinely understands your budget, your lifestyle choices, and who you are as a person. She never pushes you to stretch beyond your means. Instead, she truly listens to your current status and your future goals. Buying a home is deeply personal, and Loriane made it feel that way. If you are a first-time buyer who is feeling anxious and needs someone to genuinely hold your hand and advocate for you through the chaos, Loriane is the one.

Lori-Anne is such a pleasure to work with. She has helped us successfully with four transactions and knows us so well now, we wouldn't use anyone else. She knows what we like and how we like to do deals. She anticipates our needs and reactions and is proactive at making us feel like our deals are the most important ones in her world. - Tom Burley

I can’t recommend Lori-Anne enough. It felt like we were dealing with a friend, and we felt comfortable with her from start to finish. - Katie Naswell

Lori-Anne was truly amazing from day 1 till closing. Her unique skill set was just what we needed to see three Gulf islands in 3 days and find many potential dream homes in the process. Lori-Anne made our first home buying experience seamless and answered all of our (some ridiculous) questions at all hours of the day and night. Couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you - Megan Mckenzie

Lori-Anne was recommended to us by family here on the island. She was integral in helping us to find the right house, as well as being very patient as she showed us the many properties we considered along the way. She is professional, has great communication skills, and is a lovely person all around. It was a pleasure doing business with her - so much so that we are using her again, to sell the same property as we move on. I would confidently recommend her as a Realtor to anyone looking to buy or sell here on Vancouver Island. - Caroline Aitken

Lori-Anne was referred to me by my realtor in LA and I'm so glad he did. Lori-Anne understood what I was looking for and found several properties that were not listed on many of the apps I had on my phone. She was easy to get a hold of if I had any questions, and she was a wealth of information for the closing process. I will definitely be recommending her to my friends in Victoria. - Mark McClurg

It was our first real estate purchase in Canada. Lori-Anne made it effortless. She is a true professional, even better than the glowing reviews that preceded her. She knew how to find the properties that matched our goals, and made the whole process flawless. - John Koval

Experience was great. Buying experience went smoothly . Anything that required attention was attended to promptly. Thank you for the great service and advice. Would recommend Lori Anne to everyone. - Cindy Warawa

In the summer of 2023 we met Lori-Anne and she assisted us on a purchase of a new build condo when we relocated from out of province. She was knowledgeable, accommodating and great to work with. At the end of 2022 we continued to work closely with Lori-Anne on purchasing another property. She once again was very professional, knowledge and truely worked in our best interests. She was responsive to our needs and took great care of us. She went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Lori-Anne. - Rick Warawa

Lori-Anne was fabulous. She really made me feel comfortable, helped me understand the buying process, and was very willing to be flexible since my schedule was very tight. She always got back to me quickly, and was able to help me view a lot of properties in a short time during my brief stay in Victoria while visiting from another province. So thankful for her and the rest of the Kiteke team! Would definitely recommend Lori-Anne to othera looking for a realtor. - Kat Rossi

I would recommend Lori-Anne and the team at Kiteke if you are looking for a realtor to help you sell or buy real estate. They had very good communication during the whole process from beginning to end to help us sell our condo maximizing the highest return possible. It was refreshing to have a team rather than "your realtor" answer or ask the questions when going through the process. The amount of stress was minimal. We thank LA and the team at Kiteke for helping "put all of the parts in place" for any potential buyers to also have the answers to any questions they might have about our property. The use of social media to market the condo brought a lot of attention including a Saturday and Sunday open house with many viewings. Our condo Sold in 5 days. - Jason Hyde

Working with Lori-Anne and the Kiteke team has been an absolute pleasure. We felt so comfortable and well educated through the entire process. The team was responsive and helpful with everything we needed. We would recommend this team to anyone looking to find their home. - Amanda Papineau

Was my first buying experience and Lori-Anne was so helpful and made it quite a stress free journey. Helped me step by step and was always there to answer any questions I had. And the Kiteke team was just as wonderful. By always giving me reminders of up coming things I would need to complete, up to moving in. They were also right there to respond and help with any concerns or questions. Everyone helped me make this potential overwhelming first purchase a completely easy process. - Greg

Absolutely the most amazing realtor for us. Very helpful with every aspect involved. We are so impressed and will recommend Lori Anne to anyone we cross paths with looking for a realtor. And we will definitely use her again. Just a most wonderful person too. We will stay friends for sure. - Dave Cummings

My husband and I worked with Lori-Anne to buy a beautiful property in Shawnigan Lake. She was very knowledgeable about the entire area and able to schedule our showings around our schedules. She made the entire process easy for us, answered all our questions, and had a great network for arranging things like home inspections. We would work with Lori-Anne again and happily recommend her to anyone. - Jo-Ann Ostermann

I would like to point out that LoriAnne provided the best and most professional service I have ever seen. She was keeping us up to date with the market, explained the situation and options and provided the best possible solutions. She was quick to meet our needs when it comes to strata information, house blue prints, scheduling inspection and other events and so on. I think her biggest strength is being organized, client driven and service oriented. She was reaching and working with us closely in an exceptional circumstances like remote settings and COVID-19 challenges. I can say that she is a big part of our decision making process and successful home purchase in complex circumstances. Thanks Lori-Anne! - Zeka Zejnulahovic
