We used Kim's services a decade ago and she did a great job getting our townhouse sold in only 6 days. She was consistent and very well organized. She had great interpersonal skills and we remained in contact with her over the last decade, so when we decided to sell our home she was our first choice. She mapped out all of the steps we needed to know about as we prepared our home for posting on MLS. As we had already vacated the property, she had her photographers take pictures of our empty rooms and then she had the photos virtually staged. The rendered photos were really impressive and this is a free service that she extends to her clients. Within 5 days of getting our keys she had our home posted on MLS and there were quite a few showings booked for the first few days. We received our offer from one of the first buyers to tour the home the same day our home was posted on MLS and Kim helped us with reviewing offers and accepting the right offer and navigating the completion of all the legal documents. Kim was always available to answer our questions and to make recommendations. We're very pleased with her performance and our overall experience!

We recently sold a house with Kim and while this can be a very stressful process. We felt 100 % confident by partnering with Kim. She was candid, providing great feedback, helped explain clearly all details and managed our sale very well. Kim was extremely responsive to everyone of our questions. She keeps her clients best interest and she is on the top of every detail which brings great peace of mind. It was a great pleasure to work with Kim. We highly recommend her. Bozena and Mike

Kim, We are forever grateful for your support and reassurance during the sale of our home. After 25 years of living here, you and your team advised us on how to best show off its assets and shine bright like a diamond. From the process of staging, photoshoot and offer (in one day!), you were always available and confident in what we had. Your professionalism and approachability allowed us to be honest with questions and ideas we put forward. Selling a home that we’ve been a part of for 25 years was emotional, you understood this and were sensitive to our many questions and concerns. Thank you for making this experience a happy and less stressful one! We are pleased to hear that the new owner of our property are calling this house their “forever home”. So happy for them! It was a pleasure working with you, you came recommend to us from a friend and are happy to pass along similar recommendations. Darlene and Dwayne

I worked with Kim during my military move in 2017. She was recommended to me by friends who had nothing but good things to say about her. She took the time to show me all the potential houses within my price range, and some that I didn’t even consider. She was dedicated and listened to all my concerns. She ensured that I was taken cared of every step of the way with lawyers, house inspector and so on. I hired Kim again to sell that same house in 2022 after my retirement from the military. She went above and beyond to ensure that I got the best price for my house. She staged my house, hired a photographer, and listed it beautifully. She is attentive to details, meticulous, compassionate, understanding, patient, and very knowledgeable of the current market. I wish I was able to hire her when purchasing my house in a different province. The new realtor did not even compare to Kim’s expertise. I feel blessed that I had the best Realtor in Ottawa and made a friend in the process. I can’t thank her enough. Melanie

Kim was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Her knowledge and attention to detail were key in helping us to buy our new home and sell our old one in a timely fashion. We bought and sold in a time of rapid change in the housing market. Kim stayed up to date with the market and communicated with us regularly. Her commitment put our minds at ease, and made us confident in our decision making. Thank you, Kim, for your expertise and guidance through this process! You are amazing at what you do, and were a real pleasure to work with. Mark & Maryse

We came to Kim with a very tight budget in an incredibly hot market where listings would normally sell substantially over the asking price. Finding us a place that we liked and within our budget proved to be a difficult task, but, despite these challenges, Kim was able to help us find something to call home, and potentially raise a family in. Her intuition and cohesion with others in the business allowed us to bid lower than we had originally planned and still come out on top. We couldn't be more appreciative of her knowledge and real estate expertise.

We were referred to Kim by two of our friends that recently purchased homes with her and we could not be happier! Kim made sure that we got the house we dreamed of and there was no compromise. She was very much invested in what makes us happy. She was always accessible through phone or text, no matter the question. We were looking for a house outside of the city and she was always happy to drive out, no matter the distance or day. She worked with our schedule and made the whole process very enjoyable. Selling our home was quick and we got over asking, made our day! No matter what work you need done, she's always got a guy, which was so helpful! We have already recommended Kim to other people we know and look forward to keeping in touch 🙂 Thanks Kim for always keeping our best interest in mind! P.S. She makes a mean Lasagna!

My partner and I had an excellent experience working with Kim. We are so lucky to have had her expertise, energy and overall support in buying our first home. Kim went above and beyond for us, taking the time to get to know our values and preferences, always making herself available, and answering our many questions. She is honest, hardworking, and clearly an expert in her field. We will definitely recommend Kim to our friends and loved ones. We appreciate everything she has done for us!

Dan & Jen

Working with Kim was a wonderful experience, even during a pandemic and relocating to another province. Kim truly went above and beyond for us. She made sure we knew exactly what was happening in the market so we would have an educated idea what we could expect and did such an amazing job getting our house ready to list that it looked like a brand new house. She knew just what we needed to do in order to get the best price possible and we are ecstatic with the price we got. We left the province prior to our closing date and Kim was a huge help making sure our closing went smoothly. We would highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to sell their home. Thanks again Kim, you truly are the best!

Hello, my name is Mark. I am a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, have been serving for 15 years, and between 2018-2021 I was posted to the USA in the state of Maryland. In the summer of 2021, I was posted back to Canada to Ottawa, and due to the Covid pandemic I had to look for and purchase a home virtually. Kim was recommended to me by a friend who had her as his realtor when he purchased his own home in Ottawa. I started chatting to Kim about my needs and wants in a property about 6 months before my move, so I feel that we developed a good rapport. As my first experience in buying a home, purchasing one virtually was a little daunting and more than a little risky, however Kim was very cognisant of this fact, and went well out of her way to ensure I had every piece of information to make the right decision. When purchasing a property from out of the country, you really need to rely on your realtor to give you honest information, and I felt Kim did just that. She would tell me when a property wasn't for me, if she didn't like something, or in contrast, when she thought I would like something. This showed that Kim can easily develop a sense of what her client is looking for in a home. As someone who has worked with the military before, Kim knows the ins and outs of the military moving process, and was able to provide great contacts when it came to house inspections, legal, etc. Kim and I had daily calls about different properties, sometimes seeing multiple houses in one day, utilizing Facetime to see the homes myself. When the time came to make an offer (and there were several), Kim provided sage advice on the market, the area, and what would be a solid number. Kim's efforts paid off when she identified an opportunity for me on the perfect home one Monday morning after looking at multiple other homes over the weekend. If it wasn't for her advice, I am confident I wouldn't have found the perfect home for me. Thanks Kim!

Our experience with Kim started 4 years ago, when we relocated to Ottawa and bought a house with her. Knowing what a “little bull” she is in the field, we didn’t hesitate to have her sell our home when it was time to relocate again. Selling in a sellers market, requires nerves of steel. Kim talked us down from the ledge many times, her expert advice, quick responses and selling tactics are hands down, amazing! Her perseverance had our home sell in multiple offers, over asking and setting a new record high for the neighbourhood. In the 4 years we have dealt with Kim, she made a point of periodically checking in to say hi. She is truly more than an agent to us, she has become a friend, that we won’t hesitate to recommend to others. Everyone deserves a little Kim in their lives.

"Kim LaRiccia worked hard to get me my dream condo (safely) in a tough market! Thanks to Kim, I was able to move out of my tiny rental, and into my first home, and in a matter of weeks, giving me the space I need to keep working from home. Kim is organized, motivated, and takes COVID-19 seriously. I have already recommended friends to Kim, and I look forward to working with her again. She is a fierce advocate for her clients, with a lot of patience, and a genuine desire to make your dream come true! I am so happy I bought my first home with Kim LaRiccia!" Thank you Kim!!

Thanh & I wanted to send you our utmost appreciation for all your hard work and due diligence exercised during the sale of our beloved home. You have been a delight to work with, your love and passion for the real estate industry brightly shines through. Your professionalism and attention to detail made it possible for us to receive multiple offers and ultimately top dollar. The beautiful staging along with the professional photos and multimedia were truly top notch. We will definitely recommend your services to anyone who asks and if the need arises we will solicit your services again. So once again Kim thanks very very much.

Selling a house sounded so daunting to me before I met Kim. Not only was she able to calm my nerves with her reassuring words, she took the stress of arranging my house to look like a magazine spread. I wanted to buy my house after seeing the photos taken by a photographer she referred. Yes, she is that good! After helping us move a few things around and carefully arranging the best look my house has seen in a few years, we were ready to sell. Her know how and knowledge on best times to go to market and strategies for selling was professional and top-notch. Kim brings excitement and reassurance when helping sell a house, it is a wonderful experience I will surely miss when selling our next home in a different city. The ease with which I felt working with Kim was something that I think some homeowners do not always get when selling their homes. Kim is very down to earth and was great with our kids. As a military family, I found that Kim knew exactly what to do when helping us and referring lawyers who make the 3rd party services cut. I would very much recommend her to anyone in Ottawa.
