Leanne O'Donnell - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

We would like to thank you very much for all the effort you put into the sale of our home and the purchase of our condo.

As you know, we have had a number of rather negative results / experiences with other realtors and were somewhat discouraged and apprehensive when we met you. It was thus a pleasant surprise when we realized that you did not just provide the usual sales pitch we had from others, but then actually followed through with positive action. The personal interest you took in all transactions, be it advising, staging, selling or managing issues and paperwork etc., was exemplary and much appreciated. Your knowledge of the market and your positive energy throughout, gave us the confidence we needed, when, after more than 30 years at the same address, we were selling and downsizing to a Condo. It seemed you had a solution for everything from offering temporary storage while clearing the house, identifying and helping us shop for essential items for showing the property and talking your husband, Ray into volunteering his time to get ready for the sale. It was a pleasure to see the difference a great realtor like you can make. No wonder the house sold quickly once you had taken it on. Having you represent our sale / purchase, was by far the best decision we made in this venture. We felt throughout that this was not just a business transaction for you, but that you were treating this with the care you would take if you were selling your own home. Your very professional and ethical approach along with your caring and supportive manner has made our move so much easier, and we are recommending your services to anyone at every opportunity.

With lots of thanks, Cathy and Herb

We can’t thank her enough!

Leanne’s market knowledge, strategy, and connections in Ottawa resulted in us getting well above asking. She kept us well informed and was readily available to answer all our questions. Leanne’s marketing strategy helped us prepare our home as she knew exactly what was needed to maximize the sale price. She generated a lot of up-front interest resulting in a very successful Open House, many showings and several offers over asking. She is very professional, highly experienced, and a pleasure to work with making this a very positive experience. We would highly recommend Leanne to anyone interested in selling/buying a home.

Words – or flowers!

– Can’t adequately express my heartfelt gratitude for the hard work you’ve invested in selling my house. I never ceased to be impressed by your professionalism, and expertise, but moreover, your kind, gentle and thoughtful approach to all of our business dealings. It’s no surprise that you are among the best in your profession. It truly has been a pleasure to have you represent me and a greater pleasure to have come to know you – you’re an exceptional woman in every respect! I hope that we can keep in touch.

I wanted to write you a quick note to thank you again for your incredible work at helping us with our relocation to Ottawa.

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful it was to work with a realtor who approached things with such professionalism and dedication, but also with such warmth and compassion. With our tight timeframes and tight budget, and without us having any knowledge of the Ottawa area, you were able to help us identify the neighbourhoods that were best for us, and also help us find a house that was perfect for our family. Both you and Leanne were so helpful in setting up appointments, tracking down information, answering our many questions and offering invaluable advice on neighbourhoods, house options and things to look for that would work for our needs. Whenever I got discouraged by the process, both you and Leanne kept us moving forward and helped us every step of the way so we could focus our energies on finding the best home for us. Thank you again to both you and Leanne for all of your hard work, your sense of humour and your professionalism. You didn’t just help us buy a house, you helped us find a home – and for that we are forever grateful.

Best regards, Julie and Chris Reeves

Call Leanne if you are looking for a great realtor in Ottawa, and surrounding area.

Both my sister and I have had success, selling our homes with Leanne O'Donnell! She sold my sister's place last year, and this year she sold mine. Always professional, polite, and highly competent. She is great at taking care of the little details! Very pleased with her/our results.

Just a note to express our thanks for the wonderful job you did in the quick sale of our house.

We feel you advised us very well each step of the way and are confident we were able to get the best price the market would bear. Personally, I want to thank you for the good advice you gave me by suggesting we go to Victoria as quickly as possible to purchase a home there. As you know, I work in the Canadian Real Estate Association and I was keeping a close eye on the house prices. On your advice I was able to convince Allan the time was right to by NOW. We were able to buy a lovely home and have since been told prices have been climbing steadily. You’re certainly helped us in each step of the maze we call “relocating” and I am certainly planning on recommending you as a REALTOR® to all our friends both in Ottawa and those moving here from Victoria. Again, thank you and all the best in the future.

Leanne conducted the sale of my home in a calm, professional and timely fashion.

Her knowledge of the local real estate market was a real asset in completing the overall process, from price-setting to marketing to closing the sale. She kept in close communication throughout, and was always available to answer any questions or provide advice. I was very happy with the final sale price, and would recommend Leanne to anyone seeking a quality real estate agent in Ottawa.

Peter Elliott

Leanne conducted the sale of our house in a professional, expert and timely manner.

Her communication skills are excellent and she is readily available when necessary. We appreciated her sensitivity and understanding in preparing for our move and for promoting our house. Leanne has an intuitive sense of what is needed to maximize a house’s potential. We could not have realized the sale price without her guidance. We recommend Leanne as an extremely competent realtor.

Marijke and Steve

Leanne is an incredible real estate agent.

She is a skilled, efficient negotiator who truly cares for her clients. She helped us sell our home and buy our dream home. She helped us prepare for the sale in a difficult market and handled all of our questions along the way. I highly recommend her. She is a consummate professional.

TWO FOR TWO!

Over 20 years ago, Leanne's mother Trudy helped us sell our home and purchase another and was very thorough and helpful in both transactions. When we had to do the same again, we contacted Leanne and she managed to do it all over again. Both were very helpful in prepping our house for sale, with extra personal and directed attention to the photos and virtual tour. That helped bring in traffic and helped sell our home in a difficult market. Leanne also worked with us to purchase another home and after some difficult negotiations, she got us exactly what we wanted and she went above and beyond. Leanne provided updates frequently and I appreciated how quickly she responded to my various questions. I highly recommend the team and thank them for their personalized, friendly and thoughtful service.

Marnie & Don

Leanne made the entire process of selling our home a pleasure.

She was able to have our house on the market in record time. The suggestions she had for staging our home were excellent, and immediately we had showings and an open house. This led to the quick sale and close of our house. I would not hesitate to recommend Leanne to anyone who wants the best in class realtor experience.

James & Julia Wagner

I just purchased my first house with Leanne's assistance and she was so helpful and friendly during the entire process!

Very knowledgeable and informative. Would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Ottawa :)

Caitlin B

My husband and I have worked with Leanne on several sales and purchases.

From the moment we contacted her to get our house on the market she was quick to put together a plan and worked tirelessly to get it sold in only 11 days in a quiet November market. Leanne is dedicated and works for her clients while maintaining fairness for both buyer and seller. During what can be a stressful and anxious process, we know that at least choosing the right Realtor is not something we have to worry about. Team O’Donnell will always be our first call!

Leanne, working with you has been such a pleasure.

It didn’t matter what time of the day or what day of the week I phoned, you always made us feel like it was okay to do so…and even better that the “hello” on your end was always so warm and cheery! Your experience, confidence and guidance really helped us throughout the process. We are grateful! Thank you Leanne for all that you’ve done.

Terry & Rosanne Hoffman

We did our homework when selecting a realtor and found Leanne O'Donnell lived up to all our expectations!

If I had one word to describe Leanne, its "Professional." She provided professionally prepared marketing products about her sales objectives - and achieved them - ensuring we got 1% above asking! Taking an aggressive approach to marketing our property, she ensured that we had professionally prepared marketing products in our home for both the open house and viewings. She is the master of her territory and takes ownership of the process to ensure a desirable result for her client! If you want to work with a professional, choose Leanne!

Ryan Stanley

We met Leanne when we went to view a home during the summer, and I immediately had a gut-feeling that she would be a wonderful realtor for my husband and I to work with as we prepared to sell our first home.

Leanne kept expectations very realistic, and made the entire selling and buying process easy, reducing stress at every opportunity. As first-time sellers, she worked closely with us on the sale of our home, helping us prepare the house for showing. She crafted a beautiful listing that showed the home’s uniqueness and beauty while keeping the photographs and descriptions representative of the property, so that when potential buyers came to view it they had a very good understanding of the home before they even stepped inside. She listed our house at a competitive but fair price that drew interest, and we ended up selling it over-asking with the closing date we wanted to ensure a smooth transition for our young family. She presented the offers to us in a calm way over Zoom and had done a lot of the leg-work negotiating behind the scenes and getting us the best possible offer. The selling process actually turned out to be really fun, all because of Leanne’s expertise and professionalism! She also helped us buy the new home we wanted, listened to us and addressed our concerns and needs during the buying process, and advised us on the best approach for our offer. I will absolutely be recommending Leanne to friends and family and am so glad we can look back on this experience as such a positive one.
