Testimonials

Stephanie is TEN stars and a real SUPERstar. She did a truly remarkable job in the toughest of situations. No one else could have made this sale. Thank you SO much. The absolute BEST.

by Aron

Stephanie was phenomenal in helping us purchase a new house and sell our current home. She went above and beyond in preparing, organizing, and listing our house in a very tight time window. I recommend her if you are looking to buy or sell real estate anywhere. She will exceed your expectations.

by Barnaby

Working with Stephanie Soutar and the Empire Real Estate Team was an incredible experience for my daughters and me. As both our buying and selling agent, Steph made the process smooth, manageable, and even exciting. She took the time to understand what we were looking for, offered expert guidance, and helped us find the perfect home. When it came time to sell, her strategy, marketing, and attention to detail led to a quick sale over asking. Throughout it all, Steph was responsive, organized, and always had our best interests at heart. We’re so grateful to have had her on our side and highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling in Ottawa.

by Chelsey

We worked with Celina for the purchase of a condo and highly recommend her. She helped us through every stage of the process, answered all our questions quickly and if she didn't know the answer, she got back to us asap. She guided us through the purchase & condo documents and made sure we understood what we were doing. She recommended a home inspection and was present for the home inspection, she also recommended lawyers for us. She is a hardworking, knowledgeable professional who made us feel secure throughout the process. Even after closing, she made sure she was available to us, she even dropped off a thoughtful housewarming gift. We highly recommend Celina to anyone who needs an excellent, qualified realtor
