We were lucky to have Zoe as our real estate agent for our first time purchasing a home. Zoe was organized, helpful, attentive, and patient as we asked all kinds of questions that a new buyer could think of. She had answers for everything, and provided us materials for further reading on important topics. We felt that Zoe thoroughly supported us throughout the entire process. In addition, Zoe provided us with options for other professionals that she trusted. This was invaluable, as we did not know any inspectors, lawyers, etc, and we felt that, after working with Zoe, we could really trust these recommendations. All of the professionals we worked with through the process were helpful, and great at their jobs. I wouldn't change anything about the process of purchasing our first home. We are very happy. Thank you Zoe! - Dale
Zoe is a phenomenal agent. We enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone in the market for an agent. She was knowledgeable, responsive and made us feel very comfortable as first time home buyers. - Chris
This is the second time I work with Zoe, the first time was to sell my condo and this time to buy another one; she is THE BEST agent out there. Best service and knowledge. - Véronique Desjardins
Special thanks to Zoë Van Wyck from the ENGEL & VÖLKERS Ottawa Central Realty Team for helping me sell my home in such a slow market! I had such an amazing experience working with Zoë...she went above and beyond my expectations to ensure my home sold in a timely fashion. I truly appreciate her knowledge, professionalism, expertise, kind-heartedness, excellent communication/frequent conversations, and support during the entire home-selling process! Grade: A+ - Sheldon Ashmead
Our experience with Zoe was absolutely amazing from start to finish, and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a property. As first time home buyers and coming from another province, we were unfamiliar with a lot of the process and Zoe guided us through everything and made sure we understood every step. She didn’t hold back for giving us franc and honest advice when we required it, while keeping our needs and preferences as a priority, which is exactly what we were looking for. She was always available whenever we had questions or concerns, even after the closing of the sale. We are really satisfied with the service we got and loved getting to know her in the process. We are glad we found Zoe as an agent and will for sure continue with her for any other real estate needs in the future - Liam Browne
Zoe is an incredible agent. She is helpful every step of the way, is so personable and gives great advice and support through the entire process. We really feel like we won the jackpot once we found her, and would recommend her over and over again. - Rae Kearney
Zoe exceeded our expectations as an agent, she is extremely professional and very personable. We would recommend her to anyone (and we have). Zoe was exceptionally responsive, supportive, and extremely willing to advocate for us as her clients. Zoe was exactly the right agent for us and having her made the home-buying process significantly easier. Thank you for helping us to find and secure our first home. - myles donoghue
Reply: You are most welcome! I will be watching the transformation!
Zoe exceeded my expectations as an agent and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Her professionalism and knowledge helped me in selling my condo in less than 2 days. Zoe was very communicative and supportive throughout the whole process which was exactly what I needed during the stressful and exciting process. I will definitely be using Zoe for any future real estate endeavours! - Kayla Marie Di Pietro
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Kayla :) Exciting times ahead!
I’ve been working with Zoe for about a year now. I am so thankful she was recommended to me. Zoe helped me find the perfect place in Ottawa to move to during a very stressful time in my life. She is also helping me with other real estate business and I couldn’t be happier. She is extremely professional and knowledgable, and she is very easy to work with. She keeps you informed, provides insights and expertise, and goes out of her way to answer questions and be as helpful as possible. You will do very well by choosing Zoe and her firm for your real estate needs in Ottawa. - Berna
Reply: Thank you Berna! Looking forward to our next steps!
My husband and I went to Zoë to buy a house having first reached out to her directly about a listing she had. From the very beginning, even before we were her clients, she was responsive, polite and knowledgeable. When we were in the position to buy, we met with her and gave a her clear list of parameters - our wish list was concise and decisive. We proceed to ask her to see houses out of the areas we indicated, worth more than we had budgeted, with fewer/more items from our previously agreed upon conditions. All along, she was patient, gently questioning whether we really wanted to see houses completely separate from anything we wanted! She had a great sense of humour, a seamless coach and kept us on the path we had originally agreed upon. But more, she understands what all of us know, we all want a home - something special and magical that speaks to us. She got it. She got us. We couldn't recommend her more highly. We are so appreciative and grateful for her steady hand. - Monique and Darrin
Zoe is exceptional! She truly is the perfect Agent. We are retired and planned a move from Toronto to Ottawa. Finding an Agent was an huge process. From the pool of Ottawa agents, we narrowed it down to 4 whom we had conversations with about the wishlist for our new home and the Agent's background/experience. Hands down Zoe stood out! In fact, we both knew on the initial call that she was the one! Zoe immediately understood what we were looking for in a condo. She asked great questions about our lifestyle and daily routines so that she could find us the right neighbourhood and building. Every question was pertinent to the search. Being from Toronto, it was critical for us to have an Agent who knew Ottawa thoroughly as well as having a solid real estate backgound. Zoe was born in Ottawa and her 11+ years of experience is so evident. At the mention of a condo address, she immediately was able to give us some background about the building and a suggestion as to whether it would be the right fit for us. In our numerous discussions and emails, Zoe's responses were always professional and prompt. This professionalism extended during our condo viewings. Each viewing was well coordinated and Zoe was very organized... providing us with printouts of each condo and highlighting important information about each one. She gave us space and time to discuss the condo between ourselves and listened to our feedback. She didn't once try to persuade us that any of the condos we viewed would be the one. Instead, she took our feedback and applied it to her search for us. As well, during our search, if there were questions we had regarding a condo, Zoe noted them and researched the answers for us. We are so very grateful to have found Zoe. She offered us flawless service and it was such a pleasure to work with her in finding us our new home. Thank you so much Zoe!! - Wanda and Sandra
Zoe recently helped us to buy a condo in Westboro. Zoe's familiarity with the condo market and her sound guidance were indispensable. Zoe is responsive, she listens well, and she follows up promptly, not to mention that she is a pleasure to work with. Buying and selling real estate can be very stressful, but with Zoe's guidance and support, we found the right condo in record time, and without the usual angst. Thank you Zoe! - Jude Rand
It was a pleasure to work with Zoë on the purchase of our new home and sale of our existing property. She was very professional and helpful in every step including preparing our home and closing the transactions. - Chris Seidl
Hi My Name is Zoe. I am covering for John King as he is away. That is how it all started! Jan. 2 we decided to list our townhome and look at a condo. From the moment we met Zoe we loved her. She listened to what we wanted to do and her expertise started and she took off running. We are so happy with our results and We are moving thank you in part to John King and Zoe. Zoe is focused on your personal needs and never forgets that. I love how she is so prompt, smart and quick thinking with a great sense of humour. Thank You Zoe for everything. You will go places as a Realtor. We wish you Success!!!!💕 - Delaney Anderson Fudge
Reply: Delaney, thank you so much for your kind review. You and Eric have a special place in my heart. Looking forward to staying in touch!
Throughout the entire search and purchase process, Zoe was the consummate professional. With expert knowledge of the Ottawa market in general and more specifically, condos in the Westboro and Wellington West neighbourhoods, she helped find the perfect home. Zoe takes the time necessary to understand her clients so that she can get them into the property that is the best possible fit for their lifestyle. The end result was outstanding! Many thanks for all of advice and support, and I’m delighted with the new place. - Stephen Irwin
Zoe was amazing! She went above and beyond to help us throughout the process. As we are both first-time buyers and new to the city, her knowledge of the market and different areas/buildings was crucial in helping us make our final decision. She is professional, efficient, and very responsive. Would 100% recommend her as an agent! - Diya & Ben
We were very nervous to enter the housing market because of all the stories of bidding wars and skyrocketing prices but Zoe put our fears to rest. She was extremely knowledgeable about the condo market and gave us good advice about what condos and areas to avoid. She made the whole process very enjoyable and was a great pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Zoe! - Michael
Reply: Thank you Michael! It was great working with you both, I'm excited for you to have more space!
Zoe was so great to work with! She really knows the market and is familiar with all the ins and out of various condo buildings. She very quickly understood our needs and was extremely responsive to all my many questions. She is one of the most knowledgeable professionals that I have worked with in any field. When it came time to putting in an offer, Zoe's experience and strategy was invaluable. I would recommend Zoe in the highest possible terms!!!! - Adam
Reply: Adam - thank you! You and Nicky were both such joys to work with, one thing that stood out to me was your noticeable kindness and politeness towards others! You are wonderful people and thank you for your trust.
Zoe was absolutely amazing to work with! From our first meeting to our final walkthrough Zoe was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. In a market, that is rapidly changing, she helped us navigate it with ease and made our buying process enjoyable! I highly recommend Zoe to anyone buying and/or selling, you definitely want her on your team! - Caitlyn Dyck
Reply: Thank you Caitlyn! It was really great working with you both - so glad those dominos fell the right way in the end :)
Working with Zoe was an absolutely pleasure. The whole sales process from our initial meeting to her sending congratulations on the confirmed sale of our home was completely seamless. She took a proactive approach from organizing the staging, to keeping us informed as to the number of showings, to the potential buyers comments. Finally, she is a definite credit to her company and to her profession. She demonstrated what customer service should look like and with her it is alive and well. - Russell Wayne Sondergaard
Reply: It was my pleasure! I'm happy we got connected and glad I was able to help!
Zoë truly was perfect as an agent. She was very professional, responsive, she understood quickly what we wanted and provided us with frequent updates of listings. When we came up with an out of the box idea she responded quickly and made it work for us. We would recommend her to anybody. Zoë did an incredible job. She understands very well her clients needs, listens to them, and picks the right properties to choose from. Further she very well knows the market and provides the guidance to make a sound decision. - Christian Baron & Andreas Klapper
Zoe was excellent and knowledgeable about the market. We were in a rush to find a house within our budget. Zoe tried every possible way to find a house for us. - Maria
Zoe's an amazing agent and was very helpful throughout the process of getting my home listed for sale. She was very communicative and kept me in the loop all through. Definitely recommend her to any prospective buyers or sellers - Chiedozie Ojukwu
Reply: Really appreciate it - so happy we got your placed sold quickly! If you ever come back to Ottawa for real estate I'll be here!
We approached Zoë when we were ready to sell as she was the agent we used to buy our first home. We recently successfully sold our home and could not have done it without Zoë's guidance! She went above and beyond to give us advice on staging & prepping our home so we could present it as perfectly as possible. She was very honest about current market realities and helped us adjust our expectations as needed. Zoë is very enthusiastic, reliable, hard-working and very committed to her clients! We highly recommend working with Zoë if you want to buy or sell and can guarantee you will receive excellent service! - SMK
Reply: Thank you so much for the review Sarah - it was so great working together again :)
As first time buyers, my partner and I were very nervous as we didn’t know what to expect but Zoe was very knowledgeable about the market, She helped ease the stress of house hunting. - Rachael Nwabuzor
Zoe is extremely responsive, professional and friendly. She has helped me purchase real estate investments in the past - this is the first time I’ve sold a property. The entire process was seamless and efficient thanks to Zoe. There is no doubt that I will continue to chose her in the future for any of my real estate needs. - Lisa St-Pierre
Reply: Thanks Lisa - looking forward to the next one! ;)
I was hesitant to partner with a new agent as I have had unfortunate experiences in the past. Out of a twist of luck, I met Zoë and immediately felt comfortable. During our time working together, she was extremely professional, hardworking and responsive to my questions and concerns. With her expertise, she was able to secure an over-ask offer after an intense 2-days on the market. The professionalism shown by her and the firm, Engel & Völkers, is second to none. I highly recommend Zoë for your real estate needs. - Michel Chartrand
Reply: Appreciate your words Michel, it was a pleasure assisting you - glad we got connected!
Working with Zoe was the best decision we could have made. Her level of professionalism, understanding of the current market and responsiveness through the entire buying and selling process was outstanding. Her communication was always open and attentive and she allowed us to really walk through the discovery stage of a dream home property without feeling any pressure. In a fast paced market, Zoe's calm and confident demeanor enabled us to truly find our dream home at an excellent price. Zoe also helped steer the process expertly following our offer being accepted. She utilized her contacts for inspection and the inspectors were of top notch quality, further enabling us to negotiate an even better price. It is clear in working with Zoe that she does her homework, she also only provides contacts whether that be inspectors or contractors who are fantastic at what they do. She worked very hard to ensure we recieved the absolute best value for the home we were selling. I'll always remember the street packed with cars for our open house. She brings you through the whole process of buying and selling with ease and with an attention to detail that pays off quite literally into your pocket in the end. Hands down best agent you could hire. - Sarah Kobia
Reply: Sarah thank you so much for that thoughtful review! I am so happy that it all came together for you and your family!
Zoë helped us purchase our first home and we have nothing but great things to say about her! She was immediately very responsive and engaged with us. She took the time to get to know what we were truly looking for and ultimately brought us to the perfect house for our needs and lifestyle. We purchased this properly remotely as we are currently living abroad and Zoë was very accommodating and flexible of our situation. Zoë was knowledgable about the market, exhibited professional behaviour and was all around a joy to work with! We highly recommend! - Michèle Crossman
Reply: Thank you so much for your kind words Michele. I am so happy for you and Raz and what this new home will bring to you both! Cheers to a new adventure!
I highly recommend Zoe! After one brief text of introduction, Zoe drove from an out of town conference early so that I could view a property the next day before offers were being presented. She organized multiple days of property tours across the city (again on short notice and around my busy schedule), and was great at adjusting the places she showed me based on my feedback and her (accurate!) feel for what I was looking for. Zoe also made sure to keep me updated, replied promptly to my questions, and advocated on my behalf/continued to work with myself and the builder after I decided on a new build. Very grateful for all the help with the purchase of my first home - thanks, Zoe! - Ali Bagg
Reply: Thank you for your kind words Ali! I’m so glad you’re happy with your purchase and thrilled you have a brand new place to call your own. Thank you for your trust - you were a joy to work with!
Working with Zoe has been the best experience. Zoe’s level of attention to detail, professionalism and honesty makes her the best agent to deal with. My family and I can not express how grateful we are for her hard work and negotiation skills which help tremendously while navigating this crazy sellers market. Thank you Zoe 🍾 - Yanmarie Wallace
Reply: So glad to have been part of the selling/buying process, it’s such a huge milestone and I am thrilled at your success! Your family has always been a joy to work with :)
I want to thank Zoe and her team for their initiative, creativity, and dedication. They're able to help me sell my property within such a short time frame, and this was accomplished by professional photos, virtual staging, advertisement in multiple markets, along with a transparent approach that convinced the buyer to commit. I had not anticipated such speedy results. Zoe is knowledgeable about the market, the area, and the specific building, which enabled her to provide prudent advice. Her team also worked efficiently, which made the process smooth and effortless. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to sell my property again in the future. - Zhao L
Reply: Thank you Zhao - was very happy we got connected, seemed like it was meant to be! Glad I was able to assist with this transaction. Wishing you all the best.
We bought the house through Zoe and when we decided to move 2 years later as well, we used Zoe as well as she was the best realtor we have worked with. We have worked with realtors in India, Texas, Ottawa, and Edmonton. She is quick, efficient, and makes things happen. Things changed at home and we sold the house essentially without us being in town. A lot of the communications were done from India and then we were in Edmonton when we closed. We already had a realtor in Edmonton but got a better one when Zoe got involved. So we found both our experiences working with Zoe simply amazing! I would have no qualms recommending her to anybody and also having Zoe find us a home if we decide to move back to Ottawa again. - Dr. Joseph Cyrus BVSc & AH, MVSc (Vet Med), Ph.D., DACVIM (SAIM), DAiCVM (Int Med)
Zoe has been great to work with - patient, responsive, and supportive when things don't go quite as planned. With Zoe we were able to sell our place quickly, easily and for a price we were happy with and when it came to buying Zoe stuck by us through the hunt until we narrowed down exactly what we were looking for...and once we decided on that, we managed to find it a week later! - Claire L
Reply: Thank you! I’m so excited for your next stages in the new neighbourhood with the mini van in all its glory ;) Very much appreciated the trust with the buy/sell. You were both a ton of fun to work with!
Zoe was wonderful to work with. Her upbeat personality and go getter attitude got me the house of my dreams. She was always quick to respond and had no problem working around my busy schedule. Not only is she an AMAZING realtor she also has some of the best contacts in the city in regards to designers, painters, inspectors etc. You do not need to look anywhere else! - Dominika
Reply: Aw thanks Dom! It was so great to get to help you with this milestone! You were a joy to work with!
Zoe had a a lot of patience when it came to finding our new home, looking at over 15+ homes until we find the right one. And when it came to selling our home she fought hard to get it sold! I would definitely recommend this company! ☺️ - Melissa Ghadbane
During a very stressful time I still knew everything would be handled correctly. It's rare to find people who are actually good at their jobs these days! Zoe is extremely capable and qualified, intelligent and personable! It made for a wonderful selling experience. From her presentation, and outlining the steps, the staging consult, decor items, photo's etc it was all seamless. Thrilled with the choice to hire her. Thanks Zoe! - Jessica R.
Eexcellent service and friendly manner. Always will to listen to our needs and offer option for our connivance. Understand our needs . Help close the deal at good price. - Jay Prajapati
Reply: Thank you Jay :) I am so happy to have been able to help you and your family with this decision!
Wow! I was so lucky to find Zoe as she has been an absolutely amazing agent to work with! She has so many good qualities (hard-working, responsive no matter the time or day of the week, professional, personable, etc) but the best thing about her is her honesty and genuineness. For my purchase, she never tried to push a property on me that she knew wasn't right; instead, she searched and searched to find me exactly what I was looking for -- if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't now have my dream home. And for my sale, she assessed the market perfectly and negotiated top dollar for me, well beyond what I ever imagined was possible. Highly recommend! - Mia
Reply: Mia you were such a kind, fun and honest client and made going there extra mile easy :) Cheers to your next chapter!
As a first time home buyer and a single professional, I could not have imagined going through this process with anybody else. During the searching phase, Zoe was attentive to my wish list, knowledgeable about the market, prompt at answering any questions or concerns I had, and above all else was someone I was able to rely on to help me navigate the emotional stresses of buying my first home. During the purchasing phase she managed to get me the home I wanted for a great price!! Which is a rarity in this marketplace - a testament to her negotiation skills. Even after the documents were signed, Zoe has been extremely helpful in getting me set up for closing. She always has an answer and has helped guide me through the steps I need to take before final closing. I absolutely love my new home and am so excited!! I am grateful for Zoe being there every step of the way. Thank you a million times over, I could not be happier! - Nicki Van Wyck
I couldn't be more thrilled! Zoe did an incredible job selling my house. As you know, this was my first time selling a house and I'm sure it showed. Zoe's advice and guidance through this process was instrumental. There were a couple of times when I definitely thought I was going to lose it but her calm, reassuring attitude made me feel like it was all going to be okay. If you can't already tell, I adore working with Zoe. Not only does she possess a brilliant, strategic mind but she's a kind and considerate person. - Shelley Melanson
Zoe was fantastic helping us to close a house from out of town on a short timeline! She was very accommodating helping us view the houses over FaceTime and was knowledgeable about local services. - Alexandria Larose
Zoe went above and beyond to help us find our first home in this chaotic market. She always made sure to accommodate us into her schedule for viewings and took the time to answer the many questions that I came to her with as a first time home buyer. My husband and I are so grateful that we found her and will be recommending her to everyone we know! - Victoria Stilson
Zoe was a huge help in getting our first house. It was a very pleasant experience working with her. We are amazed to see how she could forecast the selling price of properties with such accuracy and that helped us a lot in directing our efforts to the properties right for us. Zoe was always very helpful, supportive and made the house search a great experience for us. Even with the changing market and factors like Covid, she was always well prepared and provided the best guidance. I would strongly recommend her to everyone who is looking to find a new house. - Kimi Singh and Rupi Kaur
Reply: You can watch all the Marvel movies and play a ton of Mario in the new house ;) It was so wonderful working with your family, and I am extremely happy with the home you ended up with!
Zoe had sold a unit in my building years ago, when the market wasn’t nearly as hot, and I kept her in mind for when I was ready to sell. She remembered pretty much all of the details of the building and many of the floor plans, so I just had to send her photos of my unit for a COVID-19-safe appraisal. This was my first time in the real estate market, as I had purchased my condo pre-construction from the builder, so I was a little bit anxious about the whole process, but Zoe answered all of the rookie questions I had quickly, and also provided a stager and professional photographer at no extra cost. I ended up with a packed schedule of showings, and two offers over asking price, on the very first day. You can’t ask for a much better outcome than that! Thanks again, Zoe! - Kim W
Reply: Thanks Kim! I was so happy you reached out, it was great working with you :)
Zoe is a fantastic agent. She helped us with the buying of our first home and we are very happy with her work, help and professionalism. Her advice was always so valuable and it was certainly instrumental during the the process of purchasing our house. She listened to our needs and that was certainly appreciated when it came our decision making for the purchase of our new home! We are very happy and fortunate to have worked with her during this experience. Thank you again Zoe!! - Leslie and Johannes
Reply: It was wonderful working with you both as well! You have to send me a picture once you get that puppy too ;) I know Victor will be excited!
Working with Zoe was remarkable, from our initial Zoom call to an in-person meeting. She made the entire process of finding our home in Ottawa incredibly smooth, accomplishing it all in just 2 days despite our unfamiliarity with the city. Zoe's professionalism, poise, and keen understanding of our needs and preferences made the entire experience stress-free. What impressed me most was her willingness to promptly answer every single one of our numerous questions. Zoe was consistently available and showed an exceptional level of dedication. Additionally, she recommended excellent service providers such as lawyers and inspectors. Thank you so much, Zoe, for your hard work and outstanding service. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking assistance in finding a home! - Simi Adekolu
