When we were interested in moving from Ontario to the Nanaimo, we searched the Internet for a real estate agent that would have integrity and knowledge of the Island market. In addition, since we were buying from another province, we needed our agent to be honest and trustworthy, as if she was buying a home for herself. To say that Laura met these qualities is a complete understatement. Laura first asked many questions about what we wanted in our future Island home She then actively searched for homes that met our criteria. She did not push but guided us with feedback about different areas and types of homes. When our dream Island home came up on the market, she skillfully navigated the very difficult negotiations (as the market was red hot with many bids). With her suggestion that we supply the seller with a personal letter we were picked from the various bids even though we did not have the highest bid. Since our purchase Laura has also been our advisor and friend helping us with adapting to the Island (insurance, driver’s licenses, utilities and so forth). We could not have picked a better agent to guide and support us on this monumental change in our lives. You are awesome Laura! Sincerely, Gordon, Maggie, Kevin, Anna and Leo (golden doodle)
