We had an excellent service... Orlene took very good care of us and knew how to put our house at its best. And it paid off. Thank you.

5 Stars – An Outstanding Experience with Orlene I had the pleasure of working with Orlene during the process of selling my home and purchasing a new one. It was seamless, I cannot recommend her enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was stress free, thanks to her expertise and dedication. I felt like I was working with a friend I truly trusted. Orlene took the time to understand what I was looking for in a home, carefully listening to my needs and preferences. She was incredibly responsive and proactive, always available to answer my questions and provide insightful advice. What impressed me the most, was her attention to detail and knowledge of the market. Whether it was providing information on neighbourhood trends, offering guidance through negotiations, or ensuring I understood every part of the process, Orlene made me feel confident and informed every step of the way. Not only did Orlene help me find the perfect home, but she also went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. She provided recommendations for lawyers and contractors- making my transition into my new home effortless. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, professional and genuinely cares about your needs, look no further than Orlene. I am beyond grateful for her exceptional service and would hands down work with her again in the future. Michelle

"Orlene is simply amazing! She's helped our family buy and sell multiple homes and has made the process so easy! Not only is she professional and knowledgeable, she is kind, friendly, and always has your best interest at heart! We love Orlene and will always recommend her to our friends and family!"

Orlene helped my Fiancee and me through the whole process of buying our first home. Orlene brings an energy and passion to real estate that we have not experienced before. I would recommend to anyone that if they are buying their first home or any after that to go through Orlene. There is no one better to be your biggest advocate and help get the deal done.

Working with Orlene to buy our home was a fantastic, stress-free experience. We were relocating from another province, and therefore needed a realtor to guide us through the whole process. From start to finish, Orlene and her team gave us excellent support. Always contactable, she was friendly, fast to respond and incredibly professional, and we really felt like she listened to our needs. In fact, Orlene not only helped us find our lovely new home, but she’s also so well connected in the industry, and the community, she helped us find all the trades we needed – from advising on the best lawyers to mortgage brokers, house inspectors and contractors. We’d definitely use Orlene again, it’s so important to like and trust your realtor, and we definitely feel like she’s not only our realtor, but also our friend.

A military lifestyle can be very challenging at times, especially when unexpected postings come along and you are needing to sell your house fast! This happened to our family while my husband was on a mission in Kosovo and got news we were posted to Washington, D.C. Working with Orlene was a pleasure, by promptly returning text messages, emails and phone calls, she made the home selling experience quite simple. This is the third home we have sold and the quickest and easiest sale ever! Orlene arranged for a professional stager and photographer which I believe was an important factor that helped sell our house in just two days. We highly recommend Orlene Campbell if you are thinking of selling or buying a home.

Orlene worked with us over distance and did her best to calm fears of my elder mother. Communication was above expectations and was professional even when challenged. I Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone selling.

Orlene is the best real estate agent their is out there! She's extremely kind and knows how to properly communicate with her clients. Orlene and her entire team are amazing people and I recommend her and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home as they will get it done for you with ease!

What can I say about Orlene that has not been said hundreds of times throughout her career. Orlene went way beyond what I expected from an agent. She was always available no matter what time of day I called. Orlene’s knowledge, experience and zero pressure approach was invaluable and greatly appreciated.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Orlene on the sale of my father in-law’s home. This was our first time working with Orlene and I am so grateful that she was our agent in this process. There were several parties involved and she was brilliant at managing all personalities and requirements. Orlene was able to provide contact information of professionals to help with everything from staging to foundation repair. All of the people Orlene recommended were professional and great to work with. Special shout out to Shelley at Simply Organized who did the staging. Orlene highly recommended her and wow she took a home that an older couple lived in and transformed it into a home anyone would love to live in. I am truly grateful to Orlene for helping our families with this process. Her guidance in steering us to the best sale price possible was so appreciated. She has such a great pulse on the market we had offers as soon as the sign went on the lawn and interested parties prior to that even happening. It showed us how she truly was working hard for us to have the house sold timely and at the best price possible. Thank you, Orlene, for all you did to navigate our families through this difficult time but to ensure it went as smoothly as possible on the Real Estate front. I highly recommend you use Orlene Campbell for all your Real Estate needs!

A few years ago Orlene Campbell listed two homes on my street. The people living on this Crescent are friendly and caring and we like to share! I remember both neighbours being very impressed and happy with her handling of the sales of their homes. This past January it was my turn to need a realtor and I knew who to contact... the rest is history! She was a joy and delight to work with. Selling my home as a single person could have been quite a daunting experience, but she made sure it wasn't. From the first day we met, I felt I had a partner to lean on if this adventure took some twists and turns. I also found I was in sync with how she worked. Spelling out her name helps me describe her: O - outgoing & optimistic R - relatable & reliable; resourceful & respectful L - limitless energy & likeable E - energetic & enthusiastic N - networked & (k)nowledgable E - encouraging & empathetic I didn't just find someone who would do a great job selling the house that has been my home for the past 25 years...I found a true professional and a friend! Plus, my dog liked her, and that was a huge endorsement! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my very positive experience working with Orlene!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Orlene in selling my father’s home. From the moment we engaged her, she demonstrated unwavering professionalism, expertise, and dedication to achieving the best outcome. Her strategic approach to marketing our property was second to none. She took the time to understand our needs, particularly my dad’s wife’s health requirements, which were paramount in this endeavour. Orlene’s attention to detail and her network of contacts in the industry resulted in interested potential buyers even before the home went to market. This sale involved many parties and Orlene ensured everyone was kept informed and up to date on all activities. Throughout the entire process, Orlene was always available and responsive, promptly addressing any questions or concerns we had. She was also able to provide reputable professionals to address a few repairs that had to be completed prior to the sale. She expertly navigated negotiations, always advocating for our best interests while maintaining a respectful and collaborative approach with all involved. Thanks to her diligence, expertise, and experience, we were able to secure a full list price offer. Her guidance and support alleviated the stress typically associated with selling a property, and her understanding and compassion for dad’s wife’s health requirements was remarkable. She made the entire experience seamless and stress free. We wholeheartedly recommend Orlene to anyone in search of a dedicated and results-driven professional. Her commitment to excellence and passion for exceeding client expectations truly sets her apart from others in the industry. She has sold and purchased home for both my daughters and now having worked with her on the sale of my father’s home, I cannot recommend her enough!!! Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure the successful sale of dad’s home!

As a first-time home buyer, I didn't know how to navigate the progress, Sarah gave me sound advice and taught me everything i needed to know.

Orlene changed my mind about everything I ever thought about relators. I assumed they were all the same (as I have used many others in the past for buying and selling my properties); Orlene proved me wrong! She is absolutely AMAZING!! It was such a delight to see firsthand what a true realtor is supposed to do. No matter what time of the day, Orlene was always available. I never had to deal with a missed call, a missed message. She is professional, knowledgeable, and has excellent negotiating skills. As a bonus you also get someone who is genuine and kind -- I was going through one of the worst times in my life and Orlene always took the extra time to make sure I was ok. She not only sold my house, but I gained a most trusted friend. Thank you Orlene for being you and for helping me make the best of a worst situation. Words cannot describe how much I appreciate everything you did. Ottawa is very lucky to have you in their city. You get a perfect score from me with added ++++.

We had a fantastic experience working with Orlene! Her expertise and professionalism made the home-buying process smooth and stress-free. Orlene listened to all our needs, showed great attention to detail, and skillfully negotiated the best deal, ensuring that we got the best value for our investment. We highly recommend Orlene and her team for their exceptional service!! Orlene will not only be our relator but also a friend.

Orlene Cambell has been our agent and friend for several years. Orlene most recently helped us sell our home and purchase our dream home. Her attention to detail and negotiating skills made this process much easier for us. We are so grateful for the effort you put in by keeping us informed and making the process seem seamless in a market that can be complicated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work and everything you have done for us. We are very happy in our new home. Sandra & David

We were referred to Orlene and we are very grateful. We were 100% remote as we do not live in the area. She was quick to identify what we were looking for and respected our budget. Having her experience professional experience we felt comfortable making an offer on a home we had not viewed in person. She was accommodating and ensured our time was always well used. We are very grateful for all her help. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable and genuine agent.

Wow! Where do I even begin?! We purchased our first home with orlene in 2021 in the height of Covid and the chaos of the real estate surge and despite delays due to builders orlene always managed to do everything, get all the necessary answers needed and always be available to us. Not only is she excellent at what she does but she truly cares and it shows. Not even 2 years later we found our dream home and orlene helped us navigate selling our first house and buying our new one. What could be a stressful process was made so simple by her! If you’re looking for a real estate agent this is it! Thank you so much orlene for making this process nothing short of amazing!

We could not have asked for a better realtor than Orlene. She was able to get a handle on the type of home we were looking for in very short order, and in less than a week and only a handful of viewings, we had our offer accepted on our forever home. Her knowledge about the housing market was invaluable to us being new to the area, and the amount of work she puts in is amazing. We cannot thank her enough for making our home purchase feel like such an easy task. We would highly recommend her to anyone purchasing a home, and especially to those who feel like they may need a little extra guidance during the process.

We met Orlene from a sign call on one of her listings. The great thing about her is her sincerity. She took the time to get to know my wife and I and all about our family. She then went on to focus on our needs, narrowing her focus on finding us our desired home. She stressed to us to not rush our purchase and be patient. We would even walk into properties and she would say “nope, not for you guys, let’s keep looking.” She felt more like a friend than our realtor. Her patience, expertise and genuine care throughout the entire process gave us the confidence that we were working with the best in the business. She truly cares about her clients. I will refer Orlene to all my friends and family and will definitely use her as my realtor again. Thank you Orlene for being the genuine soul that you are and making the process, both buying and selling, as smooth and seamless as possible.

We have been so happy to meet and work with Orlene. She is filled with amazing energy and is so dedicated that it makes the whole selling process seamless and enjoyable. She is an extremely knowledgeable professional and helped us navigate a number of complex areas easily. She is a great asset to your buying or selling needs and I recommend her very highly. We really valued your help, support and expertise, Orlene – thank you so very much.

I first met Orlene while staging one of her listings and saw first hand how much care and thought she put into the process to ensure the best possible outcome. So when it came time to buying and selling my own home, I knew Orlene was the Agent for me! As expected, Orlene went above and beyond to get my home ready for sale and took care of every little detail along the way. She was very much part of this journey both in helping us find a new home and in selling our existing one. Orlene was always available and ready to answer questions, she made great suggestions for our listing and overall made the process much less stressful. I can’t thank Orlene enough for her professionalism, her support and friendship throughout this time. I would not hesitate to refer Orlene to friends and family who might be thinking about selling their homes.

We are very happy that we choose Orlene to rent our home. Orlene is very friendly and professional. She has worked very hard and very closer with us to find the right tenants. Her experience and valuable suggestions are so important in the process of renting our home. We highly recommend Orlene to other owners who want to rent their home.

After deciding to purchase our dream home and sell our existing home, we wanted to find the best realtor to help us. We saw Orlene Campbell’s poster for realtor services in our mailbox and decided to take a chance on her. After our first conversation, we knew right away that she was the realtor for us! For our home purchase, she took our introductory call, booked our showing request, and submitted our offer all on the same day. Orlene’s quick responsiveness and action got us our dream home in an extremely hot housing market. To sell our existing home, Orlene had a great strategic plan that included social media and worked miracles whenever we hit a roadblock. Orlene Campbell is a very strategic and resourceful realtor that never hesitates to go the extra mile.

Orlene went above and beyond to ensure we found a home that suited our needs and felt welcome in our new neighbourhood. Orlene has the hospitable and professional nature that you need when house hunting. She's a proven advocate and negotiator when it comes to sorting out the more confusing details. And she's stuck around to make sure we're comfortable and happy.

On our recent search for a retirement property, we enlisted Orlene to help us through the process. Friendly, professional and super responsive is how we would describe her. She kept us up to date on listings and provided us with timely access to several vacant lots we were interested in. She was always available, day or night, to answer our questions and provide expert advice. We found the perfect property to build on and Orlene steered us through the purchase process with ease, ensuring that our offer was solid enough to be accepted without overpaying. We're happy to say that we now own 16 beautiful acres in the perfect place to build our dream home. And we know we'll be in good hands when we're ready to sell our current home. Thanks Orlene!

Orlene, is outstanding. Personable, organized and responsive. We were referred to Orlene by a close friend, she listened to what we needed and provided us with a number of options so we could better understand the market. We found the perfect condo and the buying process was excellent, she made negotiation easy. I can't say thank you enough for all of your help and would highly recommend Orlene.

We used Orlene as our selling agent for our home and we could not be happier. Orlene made the entire process seamless for us from beginning to end. From professional staging guidance to securing safe showings through a pandemic to walking us through each stage and step she was always there guiding us with her contagious enthusiasm. Orlene is a true professional who is very dedicated and passionate in what she does and her personalized service is beyond exceptional. We highly recommend Orlene for all your real estate needs.

Orlene helped us to conclude the purchase of a home on the most urgent basis. Her attentiveness, calm presence and expertise was reassuring. She went above and beyond our expectations, making inspections and other arrangements come together. And later, when it came time to make the home our own, she connected us with professionals to start our renovations. We would wholeheartedly recommend Orlene for your home search and purchase.

Orlene was recommended to me by a friend in an associated industry and I'm delighted that I called her! I can't say enough about Orlene’s professionalism, true caring nature, and extensive knowledge. She brings all these qualities and more to the table for her clients. I have worked with other realtors, and Orlene is the most service-oriented of these that I have worked with - something that remains as important as ever in this smoking hot market! Orlene is amazingly responsive, she made time for all my questions, addressed every concern and made herself available, without a note of hesitation. It's apparent that she really enjoys what she does. Through the process of selling my home and concurrently buying a new one, Orlene worked as hard for me as if my home was a million seller. She worked hard to understand my housing needs, lifestyle and personality - I felt truly cared for and listened to and... my new home is wonderful! I am more than pleased to give Orlene my highest recommendation to anyone desiring to sell their property or to purchase new. You'll be in good hands

We had the pleasure to have Orlene as our realtor for our recently sold house. This was our first house in Canada and it was the first time we were dealing with a realtor. Orlene was also the first realtor we met while shopping around trying to find the best agent to go with. But just after our first meeting with her we knew we don't need to look around anymore and we didn't :) As a first time seller in Canada, we had so many questions in mind but Orlene made sure to patiently answer each of our question and gave us confidence that we were in good hands. She was phenomenal throughout and was very professional in and out. She had the perfect marketing and staging strategy for our house, and helped us stage the house to get the maximum number of showings. She was always there helping us out while we were preparing our house for listing. With her perfect strategy and highly professional way of dealing with things, we were able to sell our house at a price that was above asking / above expectation. We now know, with high confidence, where to go for our future real estate transactions. I highly recommend Orlene, due to her highly professional attitude, to anyone looking for a realtor in this market !!

We moved to Ottawa from the Toronto area in the fall and decided to use Orlene, largely based on feedback from other friends who had worked with her in the past. She did not disappoint. Our home search was challenging based on our specific wants and needs. Orlene worked tirelessly to make sure she was always on tune with the pulse of the market She was extremely nimble and we were more than impressed with her ability to adjust and move with any timeline or schedule we needed! When you have Orlene working with you, she will make you feel like you are her first and only client. She exudes positive energy, all the time, and you look forward to what creative direction she will take your shared vision. Great house hunting experience. Beautiful touches like the house warming basket and pizza meal our first night in our home! Highly recommend Orlene 100 times out of 100

This is our second time using Orlene. Why? Because she has proven time and again, her professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market, not to mention her perseverance which resulted in us successfully selling both homes above asking and in less than a week! She has always been accommodating to our needs and has helped calm our nerves on a number of occasions. Thanks Orlene for hanging in there with us!

Orlene worked extremely hard to find us our first-home which proved to be more difficult than we anticipated with the real estate market as hot as it is right now! You'd be hard pressed to find a real estate agent that genuinely cares more about their clients than Orlene does! She truly wants the best for her clients and will not settle for anything less! Highly recommend.

Orlene Campbell was born to be a real estate agent! We were delighted with Orlene's professionalism and knowledge of the market when we decided to sell last year after 21 years in Stittsville. She was flexible and understood our needs regarding the sale of our house. She provided us with guidance in order that we presented the house to the market in the best possible way. She has a solid network of contacts in the industry that helped to prepare the house for sale. We highly endorse Orlene and encourage others to have the same wonderful experience we did.

A military lifestyle can be very challenging at times, especially when unexpected postings come along and you are needing to sell your house fast! This happened to our family while my husband was on a mission in Kosovo and got news we were posted to Washington, D.C. Working with Orlene was a pleasure, by promptly returning text messages, emails and phone calls, she made the home selling experience quite simple. This is the third home we have sold and the quickest and easiest sale ever! Orlene arranged for a professional stager and photographer which I believe was an important factor that helped sell our house in just two days. We highly recommended Orlene Campbell if you are thinking of selling or buying a home.

Orlene is dedicated, hard working and committed to finding the right house. Not only did Orlene meet my expectations, she exceeded them! Even after my home purchase was complete she provided ongoing support to make my move and transition to the Ottawa area enjoyable and comfortable. I will definitely be calling her for my next real estate transaction and would recommend her in a heartbeat.

We are very happy that we choose Orlene to sell our home. Orlene patiently helped us through the process every step of the way. She worked diligently until she achieved the sale of our home for a price and conditions we were pleased with. We recommend Orlene to other folks who want to sell their home.

We came to Ottawa last year and with only a little knowledge of the city. We found exactly the house we wanted in the perfect area for us. We could not have done it without the help and guidance from Orlene. She did not pressure us and let us make our own decisions. After we bought the house she continued to give us advice and help us --- she did not disappear! We would recommend her to anyone.

Dernierement nous avons vendu notre maison sans Aucun regret. Nous avions une agente de vente sans choisie, une femme d'un entregent remarquable, une tenue distinguee, une experience fondee sur de grandes connaissances. Oui 'l'agente competente que je vous presente qui vous vend une propriete en quelques jours pour ne pas dire, sans exagerer, en quelques heures tout comme elle l'a fait pour nous. RE/MAX doit certainement se feliciter d'avoir parmi son personnel une femme recommendable comme Orlene Campbell. Si nous avons a refaire une vente ou une recherche de propriete vous devinez que nous aurons aucun doute d'avoir recours aux services de Madame Campbell. We have proudly sold our home recently. Our real estate agent, Orlene Campbell was remarkable, she demonstrated profound knowledge of the business and closed our deal successfully in a matter of days. Her wealth of experience and professionalism showed an incomparable competency. RE/MAX is fortunate to have such a commendable real estate agent as part of their team. If we ever need to sell or search for a property in the future, couldn't think of calling upon anyone else than Orlene Campbell to assist us.

Orlene really went above and beyond to find us the perfect home. It seemed like she never slept. She was always available, so honest and upfront and continued to help us even after the deal was done. Thank you a million times over, Orlene !

I cannot say enough about Orlene’s professionalism, true caring nature, and extensive knowledge. She will bring all these qualities and more to the table for her clients. I have worked with many realtors, and Orlene is the most service-oriented realtor I have worked with. Orlene is amazingly responsive, she ALWAYS makes herself available, and does so without a note of hesitation, she gives her clients the sense that she really enjoys what she does. I would be very happy to give Orlene my highest recommendation for anyone desiring to sell his or her property or buy one.

Orlene is an amazing person and friend. She will bend over backwards to help you find a home. She is very friendly , energetic, bubbly and awesome at what she does.

As a first-time home buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better realtor to take me through the process. From start to finish, Orlene went above and beyond! She navigated the difficulties of working through the COVID-19 pandemic with ease, and was able to find the perfect property for me despite lockdown restrictions. Thank you Orlene for all your hard work!

To sell yourself or use a realtor. It’s a tough decision. I will never try to sell a house on my own again. When I was ready to sell my 2400 sq ft home in Stittsville I tried to do it myself. (Grapevine) lots of showing but no offers. We tried a realtor that we used to sell a previous property and after three months there was not much activity so we took it off the market. Then Orlene came by. Business Cards, with hot chocolate which the kids loved. Green bags during the fall season. Any season or holiday she was there. Then we decided to give her a shot. Best decision we could have made. She kept us informed on everything going on. We never had to second guess anything she was doing and the house sold relatively quickly after that. To make things better, we have received full asking price. I would give her as many stars there are in the sky. I am looking at selling again next year and she will be used again.

Looking at houses in the current market was tough as they are coming and going within a matter of days. Orlene was able to help us purchase our first house within the week when we previously worked with another agent and didn''t have the same success. Orlene was able to stick within our budget and not pressure us to go over which was very reassuring we were working with the right person. We stayed within our budget and got a beautiful house and are very happy with how things turned out and we owe a lot of it to Orlene for her guidance and very quick work on getting on offer done and ready to present to the client. As first time home buyers we couldn''t be happier and would recommend her to anyone
