ABOUT OUR CITY Ottawa is known as the one of the best places to live, not only in Canada, but in the world. Known for its political institutions and multicultural diversity, Ottawa offers residents the versatility desired for any lifestyle. Though nearly 1 million residents call Ottawa home, it has a quiet, not-so-crowded feel that truly provides the best mix of urban and suburban. It has a reputation for being a quiet, reserved, family oriented city, where people are laid back, more into sport than nightlife.
ATTRACTIONS
Though this city is booming and well known for their political influence, Ottawa offers so much more. It is actually a highly desired community with reasonable house prices, high earning jobs, and cultural diversity like no other. One of the most popular attractions is the world’s largest ice-skating rink in winter – the Rideau Canal. Skate through the heart of Ottawa like a true Canadian. Covering almost 8 km along the Rideau Canal Skateway, the Canal allows skaters to change skates, snack and enjoy those cool winter days and nights, when hundreds of skaters appear on the canal when the historic waterway freezes over during the winter. Experience this Canadian tradition with a cup of hot chocolate, or a beavertail (invented in Ottawa) sold at one of the on-ice shops, in hand.
FUN FACTS
Ottawa has a population of more than 900,000 and has a population of 1.5 million in the National Capital Region. Ottawa is not a crowded city and offers the second highest quality of life of any city in North America.
DEMOGRAPHICS AND ECONOMICS Mercer ranks Ottawa with the third highest quality of living of any large city in the Americas, and 16th highest in the world. It is also rated the second cleanest city in Canada, and third cleanest city in the world. In 2012, the city was ranked for the third consecutive year as the best community in Canada to live in by MoneySense. Ottawa had the fourth highest GDP growth rate among major Canadian cities in 2007 at 2.7%, which exceeded the Canadian average of 2.4%. It is estimated that the National Capital Region attracts around 7.3 million tourists annually who spend about 1.18 billion dollars. The region of Ottawa-Gatineau has the third highest income of all major Canadian cities. - Sourced by Wikipedia

Whether it’s Ottawa luxury homes, new homes, lofts, inner-city townhomes or new condos, we’ll help guide you through every step of the process and make your experience a memorable one.”
WHY WE WORK
BY REFERRALS RELATIONSHIPS ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO US THAN TRANSACTIONS You may have noticed that many real estate agents take a transactional approach to sales—identifying clients, closing the deal, and then moving on to the next one. Our team chooses not to work that way because I believe you deserve more from the professional you decide to work with. That is why I work by referral. Since my primary source of new business is referrals from people who know and trust me, I don’t have to spend precious time prospecting and promoting myself. I can dedicate myself fully to the activities that benefit you most, and always deliver truly exceptional service. OUR VALUED CLIENT CONTROLS OUR BUSINESS Our team knows that we must earn your future referrals, so we aim to exceed your expectations. We have a vested interest in making sure that you are completely satisfied at the end of our transaction together. We want you to be so “fired-up” that you can’t wait to tell your friends and family about us and the fantastic service you received! When you come across an opportunity, we appreciate you referring us to great people like yourself, who would benefit from the excellent service and the personal attention we provide. SERVICE AFTER THE SALE We devote ourselves to serving the needs of our clients before, during and after each sale. Instead of disappearing after the closing, you can expect us to keep in touch. We will be sending valuable information to you throughout the year, and will also be calling from time to time just to check in and see if you need anything. We hope you will turn to the Lorie Ann Warren Team for help with any of your real-estate-related needs because it is such a privilege to work exclusively with people like you who we admire and respect, and who value the service I provide. Working by referral is all about trust. And let’s face it, when we are seeking any service we are all looking for someone we can trust—someone proven who comes highly recommended and is already on our side.
THE VALUE OF REFERRALS 9/10 90% of consumers worldwide said they are most likely to trust the recommendations of the people they know, a figure that was well above any other form of advertising, according to recent market research conducted by The Nielsen Company. Oh, by the way... we’re never too busy for your referrals.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING... Incredible service from day one! Lorie and Michael walked us through the entire process since we were clueless to it all. They listened to our needs and wants and found us our dream home. I have never been so happy with customer service like that of which I received from the Lorie Ann Warren team. Thank you for helping us start our future :) I appreciate all your patience and dedication to us! - Joanna Hassan “AMAZING job you are a real pro!!! You delivered what you promised, thank you for everything.” - Sylvain & Caroline Renaud

SELLER’S INFO WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW It takes more than just a sign on the lawn to properly market homes in Ottawa’s ever changing market. Our clients benefit from open communication, consistent updates, professional marketing materials and a personal touch. We are constantly finding new ways to be as innovative as we can be to ensure our clients will be able to capitalize on our efforts. Our selling philosophy can be broken down into five simple steps. These steps allow for the successful sale of your home even in an unstable market. STEP ONE: PRICING YOUR HOME Pricing your home is the first and one of the most important aspects when selling your home. By properly analyzing the market, we are able to make an accurate assessment of your home while keeping all your questions and concerns in mind. The best pricing strategy is based on our client’s needs. Not everything can be explained in the stats, and client preferences can never be measured. STEP TWO: PRESENTATION Overall presentation is so key in the successful sale of your home. From photography, to video, to printed marketing material, to online presence; our presentation relates to the character of each home and must be up-to-date, attractive and professional. STEP THREE: MARKETING 90% of all homes are found on the internet and 99% of all searches are found through Google, Yahoo, or Bing. We ensure our clients receive the necessary exposure when selling their home. We take advantage of any new and innovative avenue to enhance our online presence so that our client’s home gets the exposure it needs. STEP FOUR: NEGOTIATING While we review the offers, our negotiating skills help get the job done. STEP FIVE: CLOSING We specialize in closing all the deals we open. If it’s in reach, and in your best interest, we will get it done. STEP SIX: SOLD We help you move out and into your new home.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING... I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards the Lorie Ann team. After 3 years of being with a realtor who still didn’t seem to get it, my co-worker kept pushing me to contact Lorie Ann and finally I called her. From our first meeting she was straight with me and walked us through the entire process of buying a home. We are first time home buyers and were clueless:) After 3 days of viewings with her and Michael they understood what we wanted and said we found you some homes we think you will love! To our surprise not even a month after meeting her she picked out a home and it was “the one!” We saw it twice and were they ever patient with us! They listened to our needs and fulfilled their promise of finding us our dream home. Today we closed and every single part of the process was made simple by the Lorie Ann team. I am forever greatfull to this team and their dedicated service to their clients! Thank you thank you thank! I recommend this team to anyone and everyone! You will not regret it! - Joanne & Aws

It started few months before actually going on the market when she provided us with specific observations and suggestions on what we could do to make our house more appealing. Over the time we took to declutter, make minor repairs, paint and stage our house, she kept in touch with and encouraged us. Lorie then shepherded us through the listing, showings and very quickly, the sale of our house. Throughout the whole process, Lorie was encouraging, supportive and professional with quality and knowledgeable advice and experience. She patiently answered all our questions and calmed our anxieties. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hard working, high quality agent with a strong team to support her to either sell or buy a house.
