“We recently bought and sold with Lorie and could not have had a more positive experience!

From start to finish, for both properties, the tasks were flawless and we could not be happier to recommend her to anyone looking to do the same. Her passion, experience and knowledge shines through and through. Having never gone through this process before, we imagined it to be overwhelming and stressful where in fact Lorie made us feel the complete opposite. Lorie was always available for a phone call or to answer an email, she is very personable, bright and fun, and explained everything in easier ways for us to understand.

We truly felt cared for the whole time and were over the moon finalizing the offer on our home at almost $150,000 over asking, a price higher than imagined!

Her staging and photography crew are the best of the best and fully exceeded our expectations giving our home that amazing WOW factor! Thank you again for everything you did, we are a very happy family!”

“I was looking for real estate agent to sell my property. I was checking Redfin daily looking for the winner-agents. Except financial result one of my main criteria was a sense of confident that the transaction will not fail and I am safe with my counter purchase. Luckily I asked my friend who is a real estate lawyer for an advice. This way I knew about Lorie and her team. The lawyer told me that she is the top-notch. The offers she brings to her clients are one of the highest. The transactions are smooth. Well, I decided to try Lorie. WOW it's appeared to be a genius advice from the appropriate source. I received all I wanted. Lorie's strategies, exceptional knowledge of the market situation, level of professionalism and networking are ingredients of sellers' success. “

“We recently decided to list our house for sale. Lorie Ann’s name came to us as a referral from another business that does related work in the real estate industry. They recommended that before we finished interviewing agents we should include Lorie Ann in that process. They indicated that her marketing and negotiation skills along with her experience were top-notch. As such we gave Lorie Ann the call to at least go through the interview process. One of the first things we liked about Lorie was that she was not steadfast about using any one particular approach to selling a home. Lorie is both innovative and adaptable in her approach. She quickly shared that many things come into play when selling a house and that those things can quickly change between the time of deciding to sell and when you actually sell. She advised that we would stay in regular contact but that some key decisions in terms of pricing and how to deal with offers should be determined closer to the sale date. We could continue to evaluate the market and influencing factors along the way. She was also a firm believer that no matter how strong the market is you should always put in the effort and a certain amount of $$ to make your home it's best before you hit the market.

Advising us that you never know what else will go up at the same time as you do, and you do yourself a disservice if you are not at your best. This advice was not consistent through all our interviews with agents and we believe it paid off to listen to her. After a few weeks of preparing to be our best, we were finally ready to list. She was thorough with us going over and level setting expectations which were appreciated. We followed her advice with regard to pricing and marketing strategy. After a final walk-through of our home before listing it the comment we made to each other was that regardless of the outcome we were comfortable and happy with the decisions we made. We felt our house was well prepared for sale. Our house went up for sale around noon on a Wednesday and was sold by noon on Friday. We had several offers, were very happy with the results, and we credit Lorie Ann a great deal for making that possible. Thank you very much Lorie.”

Phil & Kathy

“We contacted Lorie right in the middle of the covid pandemic, ready to sell our townhouse and get something bigger. I cannot say enough about their honesty, commitment and dedication to helping us. Not only did we find the perfect house for our growing family, we got top dollar for the house that we sold. Michael and Lorie were super responsive with any questions we had and any houses we wanted to see. They exceeded ALL expectations. We will 100% use them again in the future. You will not be disappointed choosing Lorie and Michael as your real estate agents :)”

Lisa & Alain

“Working with Lorie was the professional experience I was looking for. She was able to support me and reaffirm that moving my parents was the right thing for them to do. Lorie and her team did super work in coordinating the new home purchase and executed the sale of the existing one under the changing conditions that Covid brought with it. Her use and recommendations of other experts ensured the deals were completed properly and effectively with close timelines and facing multiple arising problems with getting hold of all the correct documents that these deals presented. The suggestions for slight upgrades with the use of strategic staging also ensured a sale that came in well above the asking price even considering the current craziness in the market at this time.

I have now experienced what the top realter and her team can accomplish with any purchase/sale and market condition.
Definitely 5 out of 5 Stars”

Dave & Wendy

“The most amazing team, two times around! You were so patient when we were looking for our forever home. And when we did find it, your knowledge and skills made all the difference among multiple offers.
Thank you for all your help in selling our home too. Your team made selling a home during Covid times as stress-less as it could be.”

Agnes & Ron

“We used Lorie to purchase and then to sell our home in OOE. Both experiences were excellent. On the buying side, Lorie’s confidence, attentiveness and knowledge of sub-markets gave us a competitive advantage. On the selling side, we greatly appreciated Lorie’s disciplined approach; she guided us through prepping, staging and listing. In the end, we sold for more than we had originally hope for, largely due to Lorie’s input. We can’t recommend Lorie enough and will be using her again.”

Andrew & Coralie

“This was an estate sale. My mother-in-law passed away and her condo was now for sale. Lorie met us the day after we spoke on the phone and suggested that we stage the condo. The next day the stager was there to look around and by the next week the home was ready for sale. The condo sold for MUCH more than the appraised value (the price appraised at the time of my mother-in-law's passing). I think that was because Lorie priced it so that it would generate interest, staged it so it looked AMAZING and had it photographed so that it seemed like you were there. From the day we met Lorie to the day we put the sold sign on the lawn was less than 2 weeks. That is value for money. We are incredibly pleased with the service and, of course, the results!!!! My husband and I would highly recommend Lorie.”

Elaine & John

“We are first time home buyers and we could not have picked a better real estate agent in Ottawa. Lorie adds a personal touch to the home buying experience which makes it fun and memorable. She was always available for our calls and worked around our busy schedule. Her professionalism, negotiation skills and knowledge of the real estate market are exactly what you want in a real estate agent. We purchased our home within 2 weeks of taking Lorie and she was able to find exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend using Lorie and her team for your real estate needs as you will receive nothing but the best service possible. We really appreciate the work Lorie put in and hope that you and your team know that we are very appreciative of your hard work and dedication. You have made a very happy couple in buying their first home!”

Nathan & Mia

“The Lorie Ann Warren team helped us to buy our loved first home in Ottawa almost 7 years ago and last week guided us in getting that home ready to sell in under a week and then listing and selling that home over asking with multiple offers in less than a day.

Aside from their talent and excellent results, we appreciate that Lorie and team are fun to work with, never pushy, so considerate and have strong integrity. Thank you so much Lorie and team!”

Jennifer & Sean

“What a great experience and team effort! Lorie instilled confidence in us from the very beginning and we knew we were in good hands. Lorie and her team showcased our home as a masterpiece. Her team is amazing and efficient. Our home sold quickly and we are ecstatic. 10-30 rules!!!!”

Sherley & Cortez

"They are the most amazing people to deal with. They go above and beyond and are always there to answer the questions you may have. Thank you Lorie and Michael you did an amazing job. So happy we chose you both."

Emily & Paul

"Lorie Ann and her team were amazing! Thanks to her advice on house prep, classy staging, excellent photographs, broad scope of marketing, and a steady stream of showings, my house looked better than I could have imagined and sold very quickly. Lorie is a delight to work with and has a plan for action when selling houses that really works. Thanks to her I got well over my asking price! I recommend the Warren team very highly. Thanks Lorie!"

Brigit

"What an amazing team to work with and have working for you.
Three years ago we moved to a new city and were looking for our new home. We chose RE/MAX, Lorie and her team :), we had very little time to find a home (days), and they came through for us. Since we lived 4 hrs away it was a stressful situation but they guided us through the process with ease. Our daughter and our son have since sold and or purchased homes through Lorie and her team and couldn’t be happier with the results they received, (sold above asking price). Four weeks ago we decided to sell and purchase another home, called Lorie and four weeks later both the purchase and the sale are all wrapped up and completed..
If you want someone who gets results fast, who goes above and beyond for their clients; who makes you feel at ease, who makes buying and selling fun and exciting, then choose Lorie Ann Warren and team.
You won’t regret it"

Laurie & Bryan

“We've now used Lorie and her team twice and have nothing but positive things to say! First a few years ago when we sold our house in Nepean and moved out of the local area. Lorie made sure our house was staged properly and professional photographs were taken. The house sold quickly within the first week after a number of showings. Lucky enough we recently returned to Ottawa and our first call was again to Lorie, but this time to find a house in our old neighborhood. Lorie went above and beyond to accommodate our trip from out of town and we were able to secure the property we wanted in the first 2 days of searching, for under the asking price!!. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate for one second to recommend Lorie to family, friends, or any potential buyers/sellers in the Ottawa area.”

Claudia & Gordon

“Thanks Lorie and Martin for your brilliant team work. You were truly exceptional starting from advising, staging, and of course on your overall marketing strategy. You certainly made us happy today by setting a new price record for the neighbourhood and selling the house in just 7 days! Job well done and thank you!”

Choudhury & Sanwara

“Lorie, a big thank you to you & your team. We met online a little over two years ago, I guess that was a good day. We have indeed developed a valuable friendship with mutual respect over this short period. We have come to realize that we walked in as a client and now we’re walking out as a friend. You must’ve done something right, there is no doubt you have hidden talents. We are so glad to have crossed paths with someone like you, and we will forever be thankful to you and you team. Job well done.”

Yollande & Doumer

“Starting in March 2019, my husband and I worked with Martin to buy our first house. Marty was a wonderful agent who went above and beyond to help us understand the market and what we could afford, and to get us into a home that fit our needs within a fairly tight timeline and in a very competitive market. He has been in the biz for a while and it’s clear that he knows houses – his eyes were able to see things we were not. And in a market where people are tripping over themselves to bid way more than a house is worth, Martin helped us understand when it was best to just walk away. On top of that, we sincerely looked forward to each time we got to meet up with Martin – he’s an incredibly charming, warm and witty person who made a stressful process entertaining and fun. When we eventually found our home, Martin moved quick to help us successfully put in an offer. he was considerate and helpful to ensure we had everything we needed up until closing, putting us in touch with professionals such as lawyers and home inspectors, and explaining everything each step of the way. Martin also managed to help us get into the home without a bidding war, and we didn’t have to pay over asking - a rare thing in this sellers market, I'm told. Not to mention he did all of this in our ideal timeline of 90 days. Amazing! We will definitely work with him again in the future - hopefully not any time soon, because we loooooove our new home - and would recommend him to my friends and family.”

Allysa

“Lorie Ann Warren understands her clients and has a vision for the sale and/or purchase of their home. Lorie and her team take the reins from staging, to providing great advice, to knowing the market, to negotiating with her contacts to get the job done. She strives to find the perfect fit during the house-hunting. Her experience and personality shines when suggesting improvement or decorating possibilities for the new space. Hands down the best realtor!!”

Rita

“We are so impressed and grateful to have Michael Warren as Our Realtor. He went over and above for our family. Michael’s integrity is a part of this Man’s personality which is so impressive and shows true leadership. As out of town buyers, we had a short window and Michael and the Remax Team found the perfect home. We must also add that He has a wonderful and genuine sense of humour. We will always work with Michael, Lorie, and the Remax Team and will absolutely recommend them to friends and family. Thank You Michael.”

Sarah, Rosie, Lynn, and Don

"My experience with Martin was nothing less then amazing. My first home buying experience, I was nervous going into, as anyone would be. He made the entire process as comfortable and transparent as possible. Every step of the way he was helpful, communicative and positive. whether offers were accepted or not, he was always in my corner, and made the process comprehensible. I would highly recommend Martin, to anyone, whether it’s your first home or your 5th, he has the experience and knowledge to make the home buying experience as comfortable and easy as possible"

Kirby

“Buying and/or selling your home is stressful: there is no way around that. Unless of course you have the Lorie Ann Warren team representing you. This is not our first rodeo, We’ve purchased a property before and have multiple friends and family who have also gone through the same process. None of their realtors, nor ours, were as prepared and as driven as Lorie was. The two biggest things we noticed about Lorie and her team, was her knowledge of the industry and market, and her passion for helping people.

Throughout the process of selling our home and finding a new one, Lorie always made us feel like a priority. She was always reachable, and reliable, and offered valuable advice and solutions that best fit our situation. As the market changed, as it does constantly, so did she, to keep ahead of the curve.  We never felt rushed or pushed in a certain direction.  Lorie’s patience allowed us to have piece of mind throughout the process, and that’s invaluable. 

Lorie’s team professionally staged and photographed our home and really pushed the advertising to create awareness of our presence on the market. There were other similar properties on the market in the area, but not as popular as ours. With over 40 showings in a week plus an additional 50 couples on open house day, we ended up generating over 10 offers! Our house sold for 30K over asking and set a new market record for the neighbourhood. 

When my wife and I first purchased that home, we looked at well over 50 houses. When looking for our new family home, Lorie nailed it on the first try. We fell in love with the first home she showed us. She really listened to our needs and didn’t stop until we were happy.

We still keep in touch with Lorie whether it be a text, a call, or a pop in, just to make sure we are still satisfied. She only wants the best for others. With Lorie, you don’t just get a professional, dedicated and hard working realtor, you gain a friend to guide you through the whole process. Go with the Lorie Ann Warren team, and let them take care of the rest.”

Andrew & Kristina

“We sold our last home with Marty Oswald and bought our new home with him as well! He was an absolute pleasure to work with. Super patient, knowledgeable and so calming through this sometimes stressful process. We couldn't thank Marty enough! My kids are already asking why we don't see him anymore :)”

Namrata & Alex

“Lorie and her team go out of their way to make sure you find the right home. Her knowledge and experience is unmatched. She never gave up and worked day and night, it seems like she never sleeps and is always there for you. She truly cares about her clients and it shows.”

Craig & Sara

“I recommend everything about Lorie Ann Warren and her Team. 
They have, once again, guided us to SUCCESS with
 a seamless approach. 
Every time we deal with Lorie we have FUN 
and enjoy a STRESSLESS experience with 
an EFFICIENT and PROSPEROUS return. 

If anyone is looking for the right team to 
get the job done, look no further!”

Danielle

“Michael and Lorie are a highly skilled team. I was referred to them by a military colleague who had worked with Lorie and Michael for several purchases and sales of properties and had great things to say about them. Needless to say, they surpassed my expectations. When it came to us relocating to Ottawa in fall 2018, with Michael and Lorie’s help we were able to purchase a house in the heart of downtown Ottawa UNDER asking price, in a time where houses are consistently selling over asking. They have continued to be a part of my life even since buying our house, and I look forward to working with them on future real estate transactions. Michael and Lorie, you are welcome in our home any time!”

Jana & Gilda

“2018 the year that took me to a very interesting journey. I was in the market to purchase a house in Ottawa, but my family is not living in that area. For that purpose I went online & hand picked an agent to work with. We don't know each other, but over the weeks & months of search we developed good friendship & she provided assistance in such way that I feel in debt to her. Although I am living 300 miles away she made the search & acquisition so smooth that I did not have to go there at all, I ended up going once just to please my wife. The excellence of the service provided by LORIE ANN Warren of Remax is next to none. She went the extra mile in every possible direction to help & to make life easy for me & my family. She is an agent with over average analytical skills & her knowledge of the market has benefited me so much that I would not hesitate to recommend her for any Real Estate purchases within the Ottawa area. She is genuine, she lives up to her words & she really looked after my interest. She could not earn my trust any other way & in my book she is # 1 while she is easy to get along with.
If further info is required, do not hesitate to give me a call & I'd be more than happy to talk to anyone.”

Doumer Horace 705-691-7766

“We had an excellent experience with Lorie and her team from our first meeting to well after the house sold. The house sale was a very emotional time for us, and Lorie and her team were always there to help and to make suggestions to make the process easier for us. She used a number of different strategies to advertise the house sale, to reach as many potential buyers as possible, and was always available to us whenever we had questions or concerns. She guided us through every step of the process to ensure that each was addressed properly and to our satisfaction. With her help, the house sold well above asking price. We heartily recommend Lorie and her team to anyone who has a house to sell. Thank you!”

Walter, Paula and Nick

"Great experience! Honesty, attention to detail and service from the entire team! They all helped me stage the house and the photos and media were amazing. People couldn't believe how nice the house looked, were impressed with the video and the pictures looked real and did the house justice. Lorie, Michael and Rebecca were very attentive, always answering my emails and calls in a more than timely manner. Definitely a great experience and would absolutely recommend the team to anyone!!!"

Sheila

"I can not say enough about Lorie Warren (Home With Lorie) and her Remax team on the approach for selling our home. She went above and beyond in helping Sheila and I to get the home ready. From finding and purchasing our beautiful new home to staging our home she tirelessly helped throughout the whole process. Organizing the inspections(home, septic, water) and a lawyer...she did it all....an absolute amazing job and I highly recommend her to anyone going through this process. Thanks again Lorie Warren Team for a spectacular job....."

Mark

"No matter how you cut it, selling your home is not fun or easy! Lorie and her entire team, both internal and external, work so very hard to make it easier and the result worth the pain. Or as they say in the Fitness world (both financial or physical) "No pain, no gain!"

Over recent years I've enjoyed the professional Realtor's TV ads with the SWAT team and the motorcycle gang, etc. and I was likely pretty sceptical about the real value and differentiation that an agent provides. I can unreservedly say after working with Lorie and her team not a shred of scepticism remains. she went above and beyond to get us the best price she could, she understood the market and the buying mentality, she invested time and money into the process, she handled every curve thrown her way with calmness and aplomb (and there were curves) and as my wife, a woman of few but profound words, says "we chose the right realtor!"

Thank you Lorie, Michael, Rebecca, Sharon. Your work is appreciated and heartily endorsed."

Bruce & Barbara

"There are seminal moments in every lifetime. I remember my mind being filled with the ideals of being ethical. Fortunately, my wife Sheila and I share these same principles and we expect others to treat us with similar respect. It is profoundly refreshing when we meet and/or work with people who exemplify ethics. We are both thrilled to have worked with Lorie Ann Warren over the past few weeks as she planned; executed and sold our home with her own high ideals of integrity! 3 days from listing to closing at a price well beyond our expectations! Our relationship could not have been better. We are proud to call her more than a business acquaintance; she has become our friend. You can't beat that! Thank you Lorie Ann!"

Owen & Sheila

"I have used Lorie to both purchase and sell a house, and I am glad I did. She is both very professional, yet personal. She educated me, in detail, about the processes and set very reasonable expectations which she surpassed. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the markets and purchasing/selling strategies are amazing. Trust is something i don't take lightly, especially when it comes to our most important investment, but I in-equivalently trust Lorie, and will contact her again for future real estate transactions."

Louise

"There aren't enough words to describe how thankful we are to have Lorie as our realtor. She has been there from the beginning, from the purchase of our first house, to selling it.

When we told her that we were selling, she came over right away and took the time to go through our house. We were blown away that she noticed every upgrade and feature we added to the house, considering it was 8 years since she last saw the house. She also, took the time to explain to us the current housing market in Ottawa. We talked strategy and came up with a plan. If it wasn't for Lorie, my husband and I would still be sitting around our house discussing what we should be doing to get our house ready. Lorie came in with a plan and set dates. She recommended an amazing affordable staging person who just helped make our house look that much more inviting. Lorie gave us that push we needed and because of her, we sold our house in less than a week and for way more than we could ever imagine.

Now we will be taking this next step with her and buying the house of our dreams for the next chapter in our lives. We are so grateful and thankful to have such a wonderful and genuine person as our realtor.

Truly from the bottom of our heart, we THANK YOU!"

The Tahiri family

"Michael was awesome with helping us find a home. We were very demanding and impatient but he kept up with us keeping us calm. Moving to a new place not knowing the market, he was very knowledgeable and helped us win in a bidding war for the perfect place!"

Holly & Tim

"We just bought/sold our house with Lorie and Michael over the last months, but they have been patiently working with us for the last 3 years. They are an amazing team - we feel quite lucky to have found them. Thanks soooo much!"

Kirsten & Karyn

"My husband was thinking of selling his house and our Financial Advisor referred us to Lorie Ann.  The first time we met Lorie, she made us feel at ease.  Her professionalism and understanding of her trade made us wanted to know more about her expertise.  We also needed to sell my parents house and was very happy to have Lorie’s help.  She did an exceptional job by selling the family house in a week.  She was there for us day and night as this was a very emotional time.  Lorie Ann is a people person and has a special bond with her clients.

My husband and I are looking forward to working with her in the summer as we will be selling his house.

I would HIGHLY recommend Lorie and her team."

Nicole

"I give a Lorie and Michael a 10* review. Friendly, patient and honest people. I bought a house from them and sold one with them and I was very pleased with both experiences. They have surpassed my expectations every time - they are always 10 steps ahead of me. Very professional people that go above and beyond and put their heart and soul in their work. I recommend Lorie and Michael very highly and wish them all the best! Thank you so much for helping me."

Benjamin

"Lorie Ann, You are a truly wonderful agent! Thank you for all that you have done for us. We appreciated your honesty, integrity, your time and knowledge. And Thank you for seeing our vision, I would have never thought a house could sell so fast. We will recommend you to all our friends, as you came so highly recommended to us!"

Rhonda

“We are delighted and impressed with the level of service provided by Lorie Ann Warren of RE/MAX Hallmark in managing the sale of our two residential properties (a triplex and a four-plex) in Ottawa.

With the marketing resources of ReMax, and the selling skills of Lorie Ann, we were able to list, market, and close the sale on both properties within two weeks of the date of listing.  And also, most impressively, we were able to sell one property at 100% of the listing price, and sell the second property at a negotiated price above the listing price.  In short, we were wowed by their selling skills and personal touch service."

Jim & Helene

"If you want to sell your house quickly and at a great price you can do no better than to work with Lorie Ann Warren and her team. We have found that working with her is rewarding because she will work as hard as you will on selling your house. In our case, Lorie arranged to have our house professionally staged, we had comparable prices for all sales in our neighbourhood, information about our house was sent immediately to all agents in the Ottawa area as soon as it was listed, and all leads were quickly followed up with by her and her team. The results were very impressive - our house was sold within four days of being on the market and at a price we were both happy to accept."

Don & Joan

"We have dealt with Lorie several times over the years and would never dream of trusting our single largest investment with anyone else. Not only is she professional and extremely knowledgeable in her field, she is an amazingly warm person who works hard for all of her clients. If you have a property to sell or need to buy a home, we would strongly recommend you put your trust in Lorie as she will always have your best interest at heart!"

Danielle & Allen

"Loved working with Michael and Lorie! I had to find the perfect house, in a week with quick closing and they took away all the stress of it and made it so easy! They were with me every step of the way and went above and beyond to help me. Thank you and I look forward to working with you guys again!"

Carly

"The Francis family has nothing but the very best to say about your professionalism, work ethic and dedication to your line of work.  It was indeed a whirlwind experience, all wrapped up from start to finish in just over 2 months!  We truly appreciated all your expert help and advice throughout the process, including all the folks you put us on to, such as Jesse and Bob. 

I told you before, if our neighbours had used you as their realtor, it would certainly not have taken them 3 years to sell their house, after a substantial reduction in asking price.

Our house sold in less than 3 weeks!!  Sadly, we have no more houses to give you to sell ... Lol

Thank you for making the process go so smoothly, it was indeed a pleasure working with you.  Laura sends her best regards.  And Philip says to tell you he's truly sorry he never got to meet "The Beast!"

Kathryn, Philip & Laura

"Working with Lorie Ann and her team has always been an awesome experience. My most recent experience was met with professionalism and patience! What do they do? Everything!! From making sure we saw the properties that we wanted to see and finding the home that was perfect for us. On the flip side in selling our home, they had excellent marketing, helped staged the home to make it sell quickly, having multiple offers over a couple of days, all while making you feel less nervous about anything you were nervous about! If you needed anything, they were a quick text, call, or e-mail away. Thanks to Lorie and Michael for everything!"

Elpis

"Dear Lorie, I wanted to thank you and your team for the excellent customer service that you have provided through this home sale journey! You were always available when needed and quick to respond to any questions and in providing showing feedback. Your attention to details and superior customer-orientedness and flexibility have made this experience enjoyable and easy. Thank you so very much for your unconditional support in this adventure.
I 110% will recommend your team in the future to my family members, friends and coworkers."
