Buyers

Not just a home search, I look for a neighbourhood match

Ottawa has many communities, all with their own unique character. I enjoy taking the time to show my clients around neighbourhoods that have the amenities and character on their wish lists, whether that is tree-lined streets, excellent schools, parks, an older home or a modern infill. Whether you see yourself settling in a suburban neighbourhood, downtown, or a condo with a stunning view, I can recommend the right neighbourhood for you.

Buyers - Roe Saikaley, Ottawa Realtor

Why buy with me?

Finding a home or an investment property has become harder in the last few years, with many houses selling well over their asking price. This becomes more complicated if you are also relocating. I use my extensive network to show you properties as soon as they hit the market, so you are aware of all opportunities in good time. To make you a competitive buyer I also make sure you are prepared to make an attractive offer and secure the property.

Past clients include families upsizing, couples downsizing or single professionals buying their first home. I understand that each client will have different pressures and needs and the impact this has on the search. I am known for my compassion, commitment and empathy, reinforced with strong negotiation skills to secure your perfect home or investment.

The purchase decision

I want clients to buy a home in the right neighbourhood for them, at the right price and to feel confident it will grow in value over time. My research and knowledge of Ottawa helps you make an informed purchase that will allow you to focus on enjoying your home and settling into your new community.

Our family has worked with Roe for 15 years. Collectively we have bought 5 houses with her. I bought my first home with Roe's help. As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions. She was patient, informative and result focused. I can't recommend her highly enough. I have since moved away from Ottawa but I still rely on Roe to give me invaluable advice regarding the real estate market. I am still searching for a real estate agent in my new city in whom I have the same level of trust and confidence that Roe inspires in her clients. Clients in Ottawa are lucky to have her!.

MZ & MD

Roe is the best! She helped us find exactly the right house in the warmest and most caring way. She went well above and beyond what we expected and proved to be a person of extreme integrity. She has also helped several of our friends find dream homes when faced with challenging circumstances. Years, later, she is still there for us whenever we have home related needs. We love and trust Roe a lot.

As a single mom and working professional I found Roe to be an excellent real estate agent and a good sounding board to help me make such a big and important financial decision on my own. She never made me feel like I was putting her out looking at homes that were just possibilities and in fact encouraged me to look at as many homes as I needed to to get a feel for what was out there. She advised me on my winning bid and as a result I am a very happy home owner in a wonderful neighbourhood.

J&F

Thank you to Roe for making the sale of our home effortless and enjoyable. Roe made us feel confident about our decisions all the way through the process. Because of her guidance and understanding nature she will always be the one we will call!

Roe made selling my old house and buying my new one seem so easy and actually fun and exciting! I knew I wanted to down-size to a condo, and had some idea of what I wanted, but really wasn’t sure what was out there. Roe took the time to help me understand what the possibilities were. She has incredible knowledge of the different areas and developments in the city, and was able to answer my many questions that helped me decide what made sense for me. When I was finally ready to sell, I knew I would be in good hands. Roe’s advice and assistance throughout the selling process were invaluable, with much better than expected results! and I am now happily settled in my new place. I truly enjoyed working with Roe and can highly recommend her services.

BM & CM

We first met Roe Saikaley in June 2000 while searching for an investment property in Sandy Hill. After a few days of house hunting, Roe was able to identify the house we liked and then match us with a very similar house at a lower price. She is a great negotiator because she understands the Ottawa housing market. This knowledge helped us to offer the right price to close the deal quickly and within our price range. After this sale, we have dealt exclusively with Roe. She has helped us sell 2 houses and purchase another. With each of these transactions, Roe’s advise was invaluable to help close our deal quickly whether it was to replace carpeting; do some painting; or adjust the price. We have recommended Roe Saikaley to friends and relatives.

Roe is highly skilled and works very hard for her clients. We had tight timelines and the house we were selling presented difficulties. It required remediation and Roe found contractors who handled the job splendidly at short notice. Roe was also able to find a suitable buyer within our timelines despite the difficulties. I have recommended her to friends and would do so again, unreservedly.
