| Why You will want to Hire ME! | Accredited Buyer Representative | Accredited Seniors Designation | National Association of Green Agents and Brokers |Testimonials |

Living and working as a full time Realtor in the Kanata area servicing the Ottawa Valley. Prior to starting a real estate career I was owner operator of my own business for 11 years and prior to that 17 years in the financial industry with my last position held as Branch Manager for a major Trust Company. In addition to having an extensive sales and marketing background I have significant experience helping people make major decisions. My successes can be attributed to my strong work ethics, integrity, community and market knowledge, excellent communication skills, effective negotiating skills, ability to use the latest technology, a large professional network, and a large referral network. You will find thatI always put my clients first, will respond quickly and do whatever it takes to negotiate the best price and terms for my clients. "I've even been known to paint on occasion." I will ensure we enter into a legally binding contract and explain the process and legalities with you.

If you or anyone you know is thinking of SELLING their home I would love the opportunity to discuss my unique marketing plan. If you would like to know what is selling, for how much and why one particular home sells for more or faster than another, then I am happy to show you. It is one thing knowing what a home is listed at but what counts is how much it SOLD for. In addition to upgrading kitchens and bathrooms there are a lot of other important "touches" you can do to improve the overall appearance of your home, both inside and curb side! These little touches can add thousands of dollars to your SELLING price. It is amazing what a trusted second opinion, proven constructive feedback, an experienced keen eye and a network of trades people can do.

I look forward to helping you find your dream home!

Buying a home may be the largest and most complex financial transaction you ever undertake. If you are ready to buy a home, wouldn’t you prefer to work with the most qualified real estate professional you can find?

As an Accredited Buyer Representative, I have gone through additional training, have proven experience representing buyers and that extra edge you have been looking for. I am your ABR^®.

What makes an ABR^® the right choice for you?

The ABR^® designation is only awarded to licensed real estate professionals who complete specialized training that gives them the edge in understanding a buyers perspective and protecting and promoting their buyer-clients interests. Before earning the ABR^® designation, buyer reps must also demonstrate proven experience in representing buyers. Further, they are committed to maintaining their professional edge by staying current on the latest issues and trends in buyer representation. In addition to knowing the dynamics of the local market, REALTORS^® with the ABR^® designation understand the special needs of buyers. They have additional knowledge and experience that takes them a step beyond an agent who only concentrates on listing property for sellers. An ABR^® can provide you with valued assistance throughout the transaction and help you make informed decisions that will lead to a successful home purchase.

As an ABR^®, I can help you:

• Understand your specific needs and wants, and locate appropriate properties Assist you in determining how much you can afford (pre-qualify your mortgage)
• Preview and/or accompany you in viewing properties
• Advise you in formulating your offer
• Help you develop your negotiating strategy
• Provide a list of qualified vendors (inspectors, attorneys, lenders, etc.) for other services you may need
• Keep track of every detail throughout the transaction — to closing and beyond

Not all buyers representatives are equal. Only a buyers rep who has earned the Accredited Buyers Representative designation has made the extra effort to raise the bar, with additional training and experience. If you work with an ABR^®, you can feel confident that you will receive the highest level of buyer-representation services.

The ABR^® designation is awarded by the Real Estate Buyers Agent Council (REBAC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Association of REALTORS^® (NAR).

“We spent several months looking at houses and were close to giving up when by chance we Lamoine at an open house. We decided right away to ask her to be our agent. It was the best decision we could have made as she found our dream house within a matter of weeks and did a great job of negotiating on our part as buyers.  Without Lamoine, we would not have become owners of the house we love.”
