We used Samantha Nelson from Remax Ottawa to sell our investment property. Despite a sluggish spring market, Samantha hosted two open houses over a 5 week period and that generated enough interest to lead to not just one, but two purchase offers, and a sale. It was a pleasure working with Samantha and her team. And we recommend Samantha for any future listings. - Shelley L

We cannot thank Samantha enough for all her hard work and dedication to finding our first home within our tight timeline! We were relocating from outside Ottawa and had a very short timeline when we needed a home, and Samantha didn’t even flinch and found us our dream home, at our budget, and secured an even earlier move-in date than we thought was possible! Even while she was on “holiday” Samantha took our calls, answered texts/emails and FaceTimed us ensure our questions and concerns were tended to. She provided us with the best service we could ask for. - Claudia Macek

Sam and her team are exceptionally thoughtful, organized, and experienced. She quickly helped us get organized and crafted a sales strategy that generated multiple offers, ultimately selling our home above the asking price, even as the market began to slow before Christmas. Beyond her impressive expertise, Sam is a genuinely wonderful person, making you feel supported and like you have a friend in your corner. I can't recommend her highly enough—in fact, we’ve engaged her services again to find our next home. Whether you’re looking to sell, buy a family home, renovate, or invest in property, Sam and her team are the perfect choice to assist you. - Sheri Rogers

I had an outstanding experience working with Samantha, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first conversation to the moment I received the keys to my condo, her professionalism, patience, and dedication were exceptional. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, especially in today’s competitive market, but Samantha made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She took the time to clearly understand my needs, budget, and preferences, and consistently went above and beyond to find the perfect place for me. Every viewing was well-organized, every question was answered honestly and thoroughly, and every step of the transaction was handled with care. What stood out the most was her deep knowledge of the Ottawa market, strong negotiation skills, and genuine commitment to making sure I felt confident and supported. She kept me informed at every stage, advocated for my best interests, and ensured I secured a beautiful condo that truly feels like home. If you are looking for a realtor who is trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your success as a buyer, look no further. Samantha is exceptional, and I’m very grateful for everything she did to help me become a homeowner. Thank you again, Samantha, for your excellent service and guidance! - Julie

We loved working with Samantha! Here's what you can count on if you decide to buy a house with Sam: 1. Clear, consistent communication about what's going on. She responds to calls, texts and emails so quickly. It was actually crazy how available she was to us. We were relocating from out of town, and she went over-and-above by not only being present for our home inspection when we couldn't be there ourselves, but by sending us detailed videos so we could see the findings. Not only that, she followed up with a phone call and clear explanations about what it all meant in terms of how we would adjust our offer. 2. Related to the above, she actually knows what she's talking about. Like really. And not just about buying and selling real estate in Ottawa, but about the pitfalls and perks of individual properties themselves. Do you know how to recognize a potential foundation issue? Because Sam does. So many realtors have no clue about this stuff. Do you know all the ins and outs of different Ottawa neighbourhoods? Don't worry if you don't, because Sam has you covered. 3. She asks thoughtful questions about what you want, and helps you to visualize what your life might look like with the different options you're considering. For me, this made the final choice easier and cut away some confusion about what it was we were looking for. 4. She makes you feel like you're her only client, especially in those higher-stress moments, like when offer paperwork is being exchanged back-and-forth. I don't know how she does it, quite honestly. She might be superwoman. I'm a very hard to impress client, and Sam exceeded all of my expectations. You should definitely choose her to be your agent. - Colleen Reinhart

Samantha came highly recommend by close friends/colleagues based on first-hand experience. As we were relocating from out-of-country following a four-year absence, there were significant changes in the market since our last experience. Samantha did not hesitate to accept the challenge of working with us from abroad, leading the entire process enthusiastically. From arranging virtual showings to coordinating various appointments and providing access to her stellar support team, she met every expectation we had...and then some. Without her professionalism and thorough knowledge of the area and market operating considerations, we would not have found our home. We will recommend her to anyone moving to the Ottawa area! - Joshua Wintonyk

Smantha has good knowledge of Ottawa real estate market and was able to answer all my questions. Did research of housing market in order to negotiate best prices for selling current house and for buying new one. Provided good references for handymen, home inspectors, and lawyers. Was very easy to deal with. Also provided a good team for cleaning, repairs, and house staging. - Mike

Samantha first suggested that engaging her as a real estate agent meant less for us to worry about. At a time where we were dealing with difficult emotional circumstances, this was so important and proved very true. She made the experience positive, smooth, low-effort and at the end of the day, sold the property for a decent bit more than we were expecting to a new owner that was a great fit and will thrive in the space. It honestly would be hard for our experience to have been better, and we'd recommend her to others in a heartbeat. - Jonathan Joynt

Sam and her team were great. We used Sam before to buy our house so without thinking we knew we would have her sell our house as well. Her knowledge and attention to detail really shows with her experience and happy to continue working with her in the future and would highly recommend her as well. - Kimberly Parris

Sam was so helpful and supportive for my first home purchase. She is very knowledgeable about real estate and extremely responsive. She made the experience easy and fun. Highly recommend! - Candice

Samantha was an excellent realtor to work with. When we were looking to purchase a new home, she was always happy to schedule viewings for us promptly and never pressured us to buy something that wasn't a good fit. Samantha and her team offered great advice about what to look for in different properties, strived to understand our needs, were candid about the shortcomings of properties we were viewing, and ultimately helped us find a new home that will be a great fit and met our very specific criteria! On the sale of our townhouse, Samantha and her team did an incredible job of giving us advice and clear instructions on what updates would be worthwhile prior to selling, the extent of decluttering required, and even staged our home. Samantha also worked with us to pick the right time to sell, the right listing price for our goals and timeline, and went above and beyond to help us work through conditions with the buyer. We ended up selling our townhouse within around 4-5 days after listing! We couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Samantha and her team. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend her as a realtor to others. We would certainly be happy to work with her again in the future. - Carolina Campos

Samantha was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with everything we needed to sell our home quickly and for over asking price. Her team is amazing to work with and I would highly recommend her and the team. - Jordy

Samantha provided exceptional service on short notice when another sale went through. Her prompt communication, remarkable team, and ability to ensure our property value was maximized and realized is second to none. She provided turn key services that covered everything we needed to sell our property quickly and at a price above market trends. I will continue to use and recommend Samantha's services moving forward. She ensured all our questions and concerns were addressed during a particular stressful time and her efficient decision making made the process the gold standard in real estate. - Jonathan Powell

Had the pleasure to work with Samantha, who sold my mother in-laws condo within a week. She was so proactive from managing the prep work to preparing the condo for sale to getting us a super (over asking) price for the condo. I would not hesitate to work with Samantha again and/or recommend her. Thanks Samantha for a pleasant experience in a difficult situation. - Lynda Fong

My wife and I were first time home buyers and came across Samantha on Google and we are beyond grateful to have had her as our realtor. Samantha made the process of finding and buying our first home as easy and stress free as possible. She is professional, organized and has excellent communication. One of the things we liked most about Samantha is that there was never any pressure to buy and she was always completely honest and upfront with every aspect of buying a home, unreasonable listing prices, reasonable offers, red flags etc.. In the end we found the perfect home and she helped us get it for a great price and made the process of closing a breeze! We will definitely be using Samantha for all our future real estate endeavors. We highly recommend choosing Samantha for all your Real Estate needs! - Adam

Had an overall outstanding experience with Samantha throughout our entire home-selling process. Her expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail were exceptional. She guided us through everything from touch ups before listing to the final closing, ensuring a smooth process throughout. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a passionate and dedicated real estate professional. Five stars all the way! - Kevin Feng

I found Samantha via Google searches and I couldn't be happier with having chosen her. She consistently went above and beyond and was incredible to work with. Very knowledgeable in all areas and did more than she needed to in helping me with this out of town move. Including getting quotes, referring, scheduling, and meeting with contractors on my behalf. She made this process much less stressful for me by her willingness to assist, her extra time spent, and her expertise. I highly recommend her. - Jen

Samantha and her team are awesome! I’ve lived in Ottawa for a while but as a first-time home buyer – I wasn’t sure where to start in my search for a real estate agent. Doing my own research – Sam had so many positive reviews, and after connecting I knew it would be a great fit. FYI the reviews don’t capture just how great working with Sam is! She’s there to support every step of the way, and even after! I can’t thank her enough for everything! I’ll definitely be looking to work with her again in the future, and recommending others do the same. Highly, highly recommend! - Zaynab

Samantha Nelson and her team went above and beyond to sell my condo. Sam had contact with me every day and worked very hard to keep the sale going smoothly. Any issue that arrived she took care of it immediately. Without Samantha’s constant contact I would never have gotten through this without a lot of stress. I can assure you you won’t find a better agent in Ottawa. She also completed my sale very quickly which was a very happy time for me. Her team were super and fast. I highly recommend Samantha for your needs. - Brenda

Amazing experience from start to finish. Works hard for you so you don’t have to. She delivered beyond expectations with great communication and proactive updates. Stellar agent. Stager and photographer made my place look amazing too. Almost made selling difficult, but she got me top dollar and made the whole process easy. I even shot curve balls her way and she handled them professionally and with care. - Stephanie

I have worked with Samantha on multiple deals to date. Each experience was amazing! She is so meticulous in her work, so attentive to our needs, always punctual, very honest, and an absolute pleasure to be around. She always went above and beyond to ensure nothing was overlooked in the entire process, from our initial talk to the day we got our keys and even beyond that. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase real estate. - Emilie

Samantha was the absolute best agent. She was the most kind and helpful person, and I felt so lucky to have her as my agent. I wouldn't even dream of using someone else in the future. - Kyra Fradsham

Samantha has been a pleasure to work with while buying our first home. She is an excellent communicator and always has time to hop on a call to explain things and ensure her client’s expectations are met. We always felt that Samantha had our best interests at heart, and trusted her expertise in strategy/negotiations. Highly recommended! - Kathryn Kerker

We can't recommend Samantha enough! We were first time sellers and buyers and Samantha made us feel comfortable and equipped to make informed decisions. She and her team were always available to answer questions or talk things through, and she was always very open and honest throughout all the important decision-making processes. She made recommendations on improvements we could make around our house that helped to increase its value when it came time to sell. Her staging team made our house look incredible and our listing caught a lot of interest. When we listed, our house sold above asking within 3 days. When looking for our new home, Samantha was so patient with our specific list of wants and we felt secure knowing she was always looking out for our best interests. Samantha brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her work, but what really makes her shine is the passion and joy that she exudes with every interaction. - Tamara Kalnins

“ Samantha and her team were great to work with! It was fun to see her & her team come in and stage! She has beautiful items, and her photographer was excellent too! She was able to guide us through all the steps to ensure that we made the right decisions to get top dollar. She was very dedicated to ensuring that we were happy! We would highly recommend her to anyone needing to sell their house! - Jacob Kirst

We loved working with Samantha for our recent home purchase in Westboro! She’s smart, personable and strategic. She’s passionate about real estate and really knows her stuff, helping us understand what we could realistically hope for within our budget and how different factors might influence the value of a home (e.g. a new foundation, proximity to a highway, etc). She was incredibly responsive to our questions and needs, not to mention super flexible to accommodate our hectic schedules (with two kids under 4) and a fast-moving housing market where often big decisions must be made within 24 hours. Perhaps most importantly, Samantha really gets how emotional the home-buying process is and supported us the whole way through. Samantha went above and beyond for us many times during our search. We’d highly recommend her! - Joanna

Samantha is fabulous. From the moment Samantha answered her phone, I knew we were in good hands! We met with several real estate agents in order to see who we felt the most comfortable with, and my husband and I both knew from the moment we met that she would work harder for us than anyone else. She might be young but she's a "go-getter". She came to our first meeting having done all her research and was fully prepared. Some of the other agents wouldn't give us any information until we signed with them, claiming they wanted to see the place before they bothered to do any research. Samantha has an eye for excellence and pays attention to details that none of the other real estate agents ever picked up on. And she's honest; she will tell you exactly what you need to hear, even if it's hard. She held our hands the entire way, communicating everything as the process progressed. If the excellent customer service wasn't enough, she secured us an incredible offer above the asking price that any other agent said we could possibly hope for - and closed the deal for us before the house ever even went on the market. So if you have any doubts, just give her a call and let her win you over for herself ;) - Brittany Boychuk

We are incredibly happy we chose to work with Samantha and her team. They were amazing to work with from start to finish! She helped us buy and sell a home and her team made it a wonderful experience through it all. She is very organized, efficient, and extremely easy to work with from her excellent communication and positive energy! She was able to help us find our dream home, prepare our offer, negotiate, and charm the sellers into working with us, after 2 competing offers came in. When selling our home, she got us top dollar, offered us amazing staging, organizing, and more! Samantha is experienced and extremely knowledgeable with the Ottawa market. She walked us through every single scenario that could happen and totally exceeded our expectations by getting us over asking within the first day on the market. My husband and I are so happy we chose her. She made the process of buying and selling our home with a baby enjoyable and stress free by working around our schedule. We found her online and will continue to recommend her to all our family and friends. Thank you so much for all of your hard work Sam, we are so happy you were our agent! - Alison

From our first meeting with Samantha there has been an air of trust which extended throughout the whole selling experience. She went out of her way to keep us informed and sold our house in a short time. We consider her an exceptional person and sales agent and a credit to her profession. A new friend and a fine person indeed!! B & P - Robert Sparkes

Samantha and her team were truly amazing! With a growing family and very busy careers, she took the time to learn exactly what we needed and got us to where we needed to be. We felt supported by Samantha, and that she cared about making sure we were happy. She was efficient and communicated very well, and was always reachable. She gave very honest and thoughtful opinions about each home we visited. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who needs an experienced Ottawa real estate agent. Look forward to working together again one day! Thank you! Hannah & Andrew - Andrew Amenyogbe

My partner and I were very intimidated by the house hunting process, especially since we had just welcomed a baby home. Thankfully, however, we were referred to Sam by a friend, and she made the entire process not only thorough and efficient, but actually enjoyable. We were impressed not only by her extensive knowledge of the real estate market, but also the insights she provided on each property and what we could expect if we owned it (e.g. maintenance required for older builds). Going to house viewings with a new baby is challenging even on the best of days, but Sam always went out of her way to ensure that the viewings worked for our schedule, and she was so patient and flexible for when we needed to attend to our child. Overall, she was such a pleasure to work with, and has a personality that instantly puts you at ease. We will miss our time spent with Sam, as with her help we found our forever home, and we would refer our friends and family to her in a heartbeat! - Shanisse
