Elizabeth Forde's Google Reviews

  • We arrived in Canada in 2017 from Scotland without any idea where to begin our search for a rental home.  We went into the first Realtor office we could find and wow did we hit the jackpot finding Elizabeth. She noted our requests and was dedicated to finding the perfect house for us.  She answered all of our questions, there were lots, guided us through all the paperwork and even compiled a list of places for us to visit when we were ready to explore the neighborhood. At the beginning of 2020 we began our search to find a family home for us to purchase. In a hot market Elizabeth found us our dream house.  It is so much more than we could ever have imagined. She researched every detail to make sure it was perfect. In the midst of a pandemic she made the complete buying process stress free from start to finish. Elizabeth was in touch day and night, nothing was too much trouble.  We had no previous experience of buying a home in Canada, let alone a rural property.  Elizabeth went over and above any expectations we had. Not only did we find our forever home, we also found a forever friend.  We will always be so grateful.

    Buying and selling a home is a stressful experience - having Elizabeth on my side truly made my life easier! Elizabeth was there for me during the purchase of my first home, and most recently, for the purchase of my new home. Once I secured a lot with a builder, she was able to quickly prepare and list my current home for sale. Elizabeth worked tirelessly to ensure that my home was sold within days of signing my contract with the builder! Throughout the process she provided me with the knowledge I needed to make informed decisions, and was always available to handle any unexpected issues. Whether you are buying or selling you absolutely need Elizabeth on your team! Her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to her clients makes her a valuable asset to navigate today’s housing market!

    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.

  • Elizabeth helped us to find our “dream come true” house. At first, we were looking at houses in Kanata and she had a lot of patience with us showing different options any time we’d be interested. We ended up buying a lovely place in Almonte, which made us so happy! She was always super helpful, made in-depth research about the neighborhoods, provided all information we needed to know (especially as first-time buyers), and made important recommendations. Everything ran smoothly as she was always available. I think what makes her such a special professional are the details. She always goes the extra mile to make us feel special and comfortable in the whole process. She even gave us tips on places to visit and eat around Almonte. =) When the time comes, she’ll definitely be the one to help us to sell our house and buy the next one. You’re amazing, Elizabeth! Thanks for everything!

    It was such a pleasure working with Elizabeth. She made the process of buying our first home seamless and went above and beyond our expectations. She takes such good care of her clients and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell!

    We have bought and sold several homes and Elizabeth is by far the best realtor we have ever had! She is professional, responsive, thorough and goes above and beyond in everything she does. I just love how she makes every client feel important, and valued. She is one in a million, not just a great realtor but a wonderful person as well. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is the very best!

  • I want to thank you Elizabeth for all the help, guidance and the ongoing communication YOU provided us with the selling of our rental property . Elizabeth, your professionalism and knowledge was instrumental in helping us with minor repairs plus your staging skills of the house was spectacular. In the end the selling price was more than we ever expected. I thank you for everything and when I am ready to sell my own home you will be the realtor I will call. Mary Turner

    Words cannot express the gratitude we carry for Elizabeth. Her professionalism combined with her friendliness made the buying/selling experience enjoyable rather than stressful. Not only is she there for you day & night, but goes above and beyond of what you would expect from a realtor. It’s because of Elizabeth’s advice, and outstanding staging techniques that she was able to sell our home within 4 days (over-asking). In the meantime, she made it possible for us to buy our dream home. I would highly recommend to Elizabeth to anyone looking to buy or sell. Not only will you walk away 100% satisfied with your realtor experience, but with a friend as well.

    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.

  • 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.

    Elizabeth is the BEST! We were referred to her by a friend for which we are so thankful. We have dealt with her on several occasions now and she never ceases to amaze us with her knowledge of the real estate world – buying and selling – as well as her ability to stage a house perfectly. From beginning to end she is there every step of the way and makes the experience stress-free and enjoyable. We never hesitate to recommend Elizabeth to our family and friends

    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.

  • “Elizabeth’s devotion to her profession is unparalleled. Her unshakable confidence was evident in every aspect as she helped navigate me through the housing market of 2020. Her professionalism helped to ground and refocus me when I felt like a kid’s lawn sprinkler gone astray. For me, Elizabeth was always “on”… she allowed nothing to slip through her fingers, showing sincerity and respect to everyone involved. Elizabeth was swift to respond and provide guidance at each step of the process in both selling and purchasing. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone.

    My wife and I started looking for property to buy and Elizabeth was recommended to us. It was immediately clear that Elizabeth has a wealth of experience, knows the property market in and out (large estates, small cottages, vacant land, you name it), what to look for and what to be cautious about. She helped us narrow down options so we didn't make unnecessary trips to properties that wouldn't have been right for us. We are so grateful for her expertise as it made the process much smoother than it would have been without her. MOST importantly, Elizabeth always focuses on understanding what you are looking for, defines your list of priorities, and helps translate them to what is available in the market and your budget expectations. From the start, Elizabeth has been very prompt with all communications, something we value immensely and have had poor experiences with other service providers in the past. Honestly, I don't know how she puts in all this time and dedication for her clients, but she does and we've loved working with her! After difficult and changing market conditions, and some budget difficulties, we found our perfect development property in the right location and for the right price. We couldn't have done it without Elizabeth. She will be the first person we go back to if/when we look for another property, and the first realtor we will recommend to others!

    What more can be said about Elizabeth that hasn’t already been said? She’s amazing! She’s professional, kind, knows her stuff and has an amazing sense of humour. We first met Elizabeth when she helped our daughter Lia and son-in-law Adam sell their house in Kanata and buy their dream home in Calabogie. We knew from her dealings with our daughter she was an amazing realtor and genuine person. When we decided to sell our home we knew who to call. Elizabeth provided us excellent service, calmed our fears and made the process actually fun. With Elizabeth’s expert staging we received offers far exceeding our expectations! If you need a realtor, she’s the one! We would recommend her time and time again.

  • We made the right choice when we asked Elizabeth to represent us. She found us a buyer and successfully negotiated on our purchase, competing against six other bidders and winning! She guided us through the challenging process of selling a home during the pandemic, specifically during the lockdown. Her extensive real estate knowledge allowed us to focus on our priorities, while she worked on every other aspect of buying and selling. Elizabeth is a great communicator and was always available to us. She has a very gentle, calming demeanor, which is a bonus when dealing with one of the most stressful situations people find themselves in - moving home! Highly recommended – you will not be disappointed!

    I was so fortunate to have Elizabeth to help me to find an ideal home for my parents. I can't recommend her services more than enough! As our Realtor, she helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. She was very patient as we were looking for homes over several months in a very competitive market in 2020. She was very informative about the rapidly-changing house market in Ottawa and has no reservations to share her knowledge and insights with us anytime! She even went further to provide information on handyman, house renovations, cleaning services, rental info and etc. We so appreciated that she was our go-to-person for everything related to houses. After closing-date of the house, due to Covid, our parents couldn't come to Canada to live with us in time. Elizabeth helped us again to find ideal tenants to rent out the house in less than a week! In short, she was always on our side working hard to make sure of our needs to be met. The best part about working with Elizabeth was that she was always focused on answering our questions, giving us good and objective advices, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. She is such a professional with a very friendly and uplifting spirit! We would recommend her to anyone anytime! Jihong

  • In late 2019, just as Ottawa's real estate market was becoming red hot, we decided to sell our condo and move to a single family home. Easier said than done when you have no clue what you're doing! Our first week in the market was discouraging. Then I met Elizabeth at an open house. She was friendly, approachable and knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all my questions, even though the open house had long since ended and I wasn't her client! We quickly rectified that, and within the week, thanks to the bang-up team she had assembled and a whole lot of hustle, our condo sold. Shortly thereafter, Elizabeth was instrumental in helping us land our current (dream) home, gamely and cheerfully diving into the deep end of a multi-party bidding war. Throughout every part of the process, Elizabeth was kind, helpful and sympathetic to the particular stressors associated with house-hunting. But she was also a true professional, always taking the time to thoroughly explain the documents we were signing, or our next move. The only drawback to our involvement with Elizabeth is she did such a great job - we LOVE our new house so much! - we now have no need for her real estate services! We'd hire her again in half a heartbeat if we weren't so satisfied with our home that we never plan on moving again!"

    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+

    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.

    Elizabeth was extremely professional, dedicated to my needs, and quickly earned my complete trust. I followed her advice and my home sold the same day it was listed for much more than I originally anticipated and even more than the listing price. During one of the most difficult years of my life, Elizabeth treated my with kindness and compassion. She made the process of selling my home as stress free as it could have possibly been. She gave advice that minimized my effort and costs while still ensuring the house would show in the most positive light. Despite numerous unexpected hurdles, she remained enthusiastic and optimistic. Drawing on her extensive experience and knowledge, she was always quick to suggest possible solutions. Working with Elizabeth was a true pleasure and I very highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor.

  • 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.

    We are so happy that we were able to work with Elizabeth as our realtor. From the first day we met Elizabeth, we were completely blown away by her knowledge, professionalism, and her genuineness. She is passionate about what she does and has a wealth of experience. Elizabeth is also honest and kind; she did not pressure us in anyway to select her services! Throughout the entire process, Elizabeth was always available to answer our questions. Her knowledge of the different builders and what they offer helped us to purchase a home that did not require costly upgrades. She even helped us to pick the right colors and accessories for our home based on our preference and what would be marketable. We are extremely happy with our home and consider Elizabeth part of our family! We strongly recommend her to our friends. If you are considering working with her, please look no further; you will definitely not be disappointed. Christian and Sharane.

    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!

Eduardo is knowledgeable, hardworking and knows his responsibilities. We were happy to work with him.

Gana H. (Seller, 2019


It was a pleasure to work again with Eduardo, who guided us every step of the way during our second home purchase. We bought and sold our first home as well with Eduardo. There are many steps to take in making the right purchase and timing is essential especially in a fast-moving market. Eduardo helped to keep us on track and recommend and/or organize other parties in the process, such as for home inspection, well water inspection, and lawyer needs. Thanks!

Etienne B. (Buyer, 2019)


We wouldn't have purchased a home if it wasn't for Eduardo. There were many times when we felt overwhelmed and defeated wondering if purchasing a home would ever be possible for a young couple like ourselves. We started believing that dream homes were only for the rich and we would have to learn to live with compromise. Eduardo took the weight of every challenge we faced and consistently gave us peace in times when we felt crushed with doubt. He encouraged us and provided hope guiding us through every obstacle with relentlessness until he was able to provide us with the key to our first home as promised from our first meeting together. If this sounds like a taste of the overdramatic, I guarantee it’s not. Eduardo was a warrior and we choose him every time. If you don’t believe me try him for yourself, no matter what your situation is, and realize the possibilities that can only come through choosing Eduardo.

Dan P. (Buyer, 2019)


My family worked with Eduardo to purchase and sell our home in Kanata. We found Eduardo knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with his time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of a couple of months). He answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Eduardo made it less painless and straightforward. We highly recommend him.

Oksana G. (Buyer & Seller, 2019)


Eduardo is not only the best Real Estate Agent we have worked with but also he has become a very close friend and even a neighbour! He walked us through all the details of the process, he was very patient and sympathetic, he knew how to guide us to the final happy ending of having found and bought the house of our dreams! He is not only an expert in his domain but also an extraordinary team player that made us feel comfortable with every decision and strategy used during the process. Having found our dream home wasn't an easy task but he made it seems like it and we will always be grateful for it. We totally recommend Eduardo as your best option, definitely!

Amable R. (Buyer, 2019)


As first time home buyers, meeting Ed as our real estate agent was a revolutionary point in our quest to buy a home. Our first appointment was very in-depth and detailed. He wasn’t in any hurry to be done. He questioned thoroughly to unearth our needs and explained all options available. We became very confident in his advisory. The most cherished is Ed’s reachability and responsiveness when contacted. Home search can be very daunting and it is very important that you can reach your agent when urgent decision is needed given the volatility of home supply in the market. Ed is also very timely in showing up to viewings. He is very knowledgeable of market trends and never held back sharing tips that helped us in making the buy decision. Ed never hurried us to make hasty decisions. Ed was a reliable representative keeping good communication with our banker, lawyer and seller agent. I now readily mention him and give out his contact to friends and family once they start thinking of any real estate representation. Thank you Ed! You’ll be our agent again whenever the need arises.

Ifeoma K. (Buyer, 2019)


I would highly recommend Eduardo for any real estate. He has been our Agent for our recent home sale and purchase and several other transactions since 2011. His wealth of knowledge and experience put us at ease throughout the process. Moving can be a very stressful experience, but not with Eduardo! He always kept us well informed. His recommendations for setting the price and negotiating with the other parties was exceptional! We were always well informed. He is an excellent communicator. When others tell me to sell without an agent, I prove to them that Eduardo has saved us from some very difficult and costly situations. I often tell others that he is like a Pre-Lawyer - a great advisor! Sign up with Eduardo today!

Murray K. (Buyer & Seller, 2019)


Eduardo helped sell our home and buy a new one in the Spring of 2018. It could not have turned out better! Moving homes seemed like an impossible task. We didn't know where to even begin. Every time we got started on a home improvement project we wondered if we were investing in the right thing or not. But then we met Eduardo. He gave us a plan and guided us through everything. He gave us advice about how to upgrade our existing home to maximize its value. He then gave us excellent advice on how to stage it and price it. When it came to selling and negotiating, his strategy was perfect. Over a dozen people toured our home the weekend we listed it, and it sold within 24hrs. Buying a home in a hot market with bidding wars was challenging. Eduardo was a faithful guide through it all. It was clear to us that he wanted the best for us. Ed listened to our needs and concerns and intuitively knew when we in danger of making emotional decisions. He even went to see a house for us on his own time. (We were going to let it pass us by because we were feeling overwhelmed and wanted a break.) He reported back to us that it "checked all the boxes" on our wish list. It's where we live today! We can't imagine what the whole process would have been like without Ed. It is more than we ever dared to pray for!!! We feel so blessed.

Chris V. (Buyer & Seller, 2018)


Eduardo was great to have on our side to navigate a difficult housing market in Ottawa. His knowledge of the market is topnotch and he was available on very short notice to schedule viewings. Where Eduardo really shines is his negotiating skills, which alone were worthy of his price, as he enabled us to secure our home even though we did not have the highest bid. If you want a truely personable experience when buying your home, Eduardo is your man.

Olle & Damalie D. (Buyer, 2018)


Eduardo is a great real estate agent and we would highly recommend him for anyone looking to move. At first, we had a meeting to discuss about our expectations, he explained us the whole process of buying a house, we talked about neighborhoods, schools, transport and was always tating diligent note about the details. He quickly and efficiently helped us to find our new house. He is hands down one of the best in the business and if we ever need to move again, he will be our first choise. Thanks for your good advice and help Eduardo.

Raquel L. (Buyer, 2018)


Eduardo was honest and transparent through the whole process of buying our house. We feel very lucky to have met him.

Eduardo is a great guy. He is super friendly and genuine. He is very diligent and seems to be available at any time of day or evening. Would recommend him any time.

Susan L. (Buyer & Seller, 2018)


Eduardo is an excellent agent. He was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive.He was referred by a close friend. As a first-time buyer, Eduardo made the search, and finding of our home very smooth. He was patient, attentive, never too busy to respond to questions (by phone, text, or email). Thank you Eduardo!

Juliette A. (Buyer, 2018)


Eduardo made sure we got the best price possible for our house, he and his team of professionals are well prepared and work hard to accomplish the goal. The whole process exceeded my expectations.
