Elizabeth Forde, REALTOR

Liz was fabulous. She was supportive, and helpful and always available for a chat or for advice. I am absolutely certain her staging and sage advice about updates, big and small, helped us get top dollar in a very fickle market. She counselled us off accepting a low first offer and had us wait for the right offer from a wonderful young family who I know will love and appreciate our home as we did. If you are buying or selling your home, you need the experience and and wisdom and gentle kindness that Liz brings to the table. Not only will you find the home you are looking for or sell the home you are moving on from at the best price, you will also find a good friend. A+

Selling your home is never easy. You encounter the stress of ‘will it’ ‘waiting’ ‘disappointment’ ‘discouragement’ and, yes, ‘stress’. Liz has been on our side since the beginning, which was a zoom call to introduce ourselves. The immediate impression was so very positive because she listened. She always listened before responding. Liz would respond to each and every enquiry, and always very quickly. We listed during the down time of summer of ‘22, a discouraging time. Her enthusiasm never waned, and was always positive that our time would come. Which it did. A marvellous human being, an excellent real estate agent, and now a very special friend.

We first met Elizabeth in January of this year (2022). We were just at the very beginning of making significant lifestyle changes - the sale of our lakefront retirement home west of Ottawa (after 17 years) and the purchase of a smaller bungalow in the city.
During the entire process Liz always put us first. She knew intuitively that it would be hard for us to let go of the lake property and found us a property backing on to magnificent tress and greenery that we enjoy and feel at home with. We’ve found her to be a professional and knowledgeable realtor but what we appreciated most was her compassion, patience and support. Oh, and one more thing, she has become a friend.

Best House Purchasing Experience Ever! Elizabeth was wonderful, full of fun, knowledge and patience. She seemed to have all the time in the world for us as we embarked on a long distance house hunt. Nothing was too much trouble and she previewed a number of homes for us via video. We had complete confidence in her understanding of what we were looking for and her integrity as she viewed homes on our behalf. She has a great eye for detail and happily points out the pros and cons. We had all our questions promptly answered and were given fair, honest advice when making our offer. Elizabeth was hugely supportive throughout our journey. We never felt any pressure along the way. We finally found our magical home and are very happy. We would absolutely recommend Elizabeth. She is an amazing warm lady who knows her stuff and will make finding your perfect home exciting and stress free.

When we set up an appointment to view one of Elizabeth’s listings we were sure we wouldn’t be able to buy and sell in this crazy market. From the first meeting she made us feel comfortable and confident that if we wanted it to happen, it could. She held our hand every step of the way in buying, staging and selling our home, even calling us from vacation to ease our (my) fears during a stressful time! Her knowledge and passion is evident in every step of the process whether it be buying, staging or selling and she is very approachable about any concerns that come up along the way. I can’t say enough great things about Liz, thank you for making our dream a reality!

My husband Jonathan and I knew early on in our home search, we hit the jackpot with Elizabeth. From day one, Elizabeth made us feel like VIP clients. Two years, a dozen homes, and three offers later, we found our dream house! Elizabeth patiently explained everything, was hyper-responsive, worked showings around our busy schedules, and guided us through every step of the process. We're very grateful to have benefited from Elizabeth's industry knowledge, advice, and detective-like eye - she'd spot and bring to our attention even the tiniest deficiencies. Above and beyond doesn't do Elizabeth's professionalism justice.

Liz is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to help me buy my first home. Liz was very responsive, considerate and super supportive throughout the entire process. I don't know what I would have done without her! I would highly recommend Liz if you are looking at buying or selling your home.

Liz was amazing to work with finding our first place to rent. She took the time to hear our wishes and found multiple places that all delivered! She was highly organized, and flexible as she was able to work with our schedule. Liz also took the extra time to explain our dozens of questions as first time renters and made sure we were set up every step of the way.

From the moment we met Elizabeth in the driveway of what is now our home it has been such a wonderful and delightful experience. Her level of professionalism and efficiency well surpasses any expectations. Elizabeth brings her heart and soul into her work and you can feel that she loves what she does. She is very fast to respond to any questions and always open to offer help when she can. We feel very very grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Elizabeth. If you are searching for a realtor who cares and listens to what truly matters to you look no further.

We were referred to Elizabeth as a local realtor and can honestly say she exceeded our expectations. Our remote house search was quite challenging during COVID and a period where there was limited supply. We ended up purchasing a property without seeing it in person due to the trust we had in Elizabeth. We would highly recommend Elizabeth as she is experienced, honest, super responsive and will put her client’s needs first.

No wonder Elizabeth Forde has a Diamond award for excellence!
Her sensitivity, professionalism, and expertise softened our down sizing experience from our lovely accessible rural property, to a smaller accessible home, no mean feat in the current market. Her lovely demeanour in dealing with all facets of this move has been reassuring at every turn and we are so glad that we found her to help such a big transition. Thank you Liz.
