Ann is a highly ethical agent who comes with extensive experience. We have used Ann for both purchase and sale of very different properties. Each time she had specific knowledge of both the property and the local market. When it comes to setting prices or offers, she provides knowledge and guidance that allows you to make those decisions without pressure.

Ann is really quite an ideal agent for both selling and purchasing. (Too many complimentary superlatives to list).
We enjoyed her work ethic, personality, commitment, and.... help with contractors too!
Her assistant Barb is terrific.

Ann is beyond amazing as a realtor. She really went above and beyond. Her advice was spot on, easy to follow. As someone with severe anxiety, she was patient and kind. She picked me up for our viewing, as I couldn't get a ride. When I started stressing out, she calmed me down. If I didn't understand something, she explained it until I understand. She has a long list of people/businesses if you need to get stuff done. Her recommendations were polite and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to refer Ann Watley to anyone I know. In fact I already have.
Thank you,

Ann was such a gift during the past months as we bought and sold homes. Being so knowledgeable of the housing in a large geographic area she advised us on all our purchase options. She advised us oF local suppliers and contractors with whom we discussed our our renovations requirements. We then settled in our new Polo Park home with the renovations completed and followed with a condo sale in Sidney. Ann and Barb, her assistant were our supporters all the way. We can not thank Ann her team enough.

Ann was amazing and helped us navigate a really tricky housing market in late 2021/early 2022. We met with Ann and quickly knew that she would be a great asset in this next big step for us, i.e. buying our first home. We appreciated Ann's straightforward approach and willingness to understand what we were looking for. We don't plan on moving any time soon, but if we do Ann will be the first person we contact.

Ann was a wonderful surprise from the moment she blew into our home like a small, delightful hurricane! Yes, she knows the market and her business well and gives her clients excellent advice. But more important is the extraordinary lengths she goes to in order to help her clients! She gave us excellent advice about renovations prior to listing, provided a list of excellent resources to do our reno, loaned us items to stage our home and provided support and advice throughout. She found us the perfect home to purchase and went above and beyond to ensure our offer was accepted. On possession day, she didn't just give us the keys, she met us there, inspected the property to ensure it was perfect and gave us a lovely welcome package. I cannot recommend her highly enough - in almost 50 years of buying and selling homes we have never met such a fun, helpful and knowledgeable realtor!! She genuinely cares and wants to help her clients from start to finish.

Thank you to Anne Watley for finding a lovely new home for us in this very difficult market. We found Ann to be very knowledgeable, honest and hard working. We gave her a list of approx. 12 items we felt we either " must have " or would like to have in our new home, she was able to supply all of them for us. Because we were moving from the mainland, we were not able to meet with the builder, blind supplier and several other trades Ann did all of this for us. We would definitely not hesitate to recommend Ann to anyone buying or selling their home, our experience with her was just great

We've hired Ann to sell a house. This was our second purchase through Ann. We've always received great service, which is why we have continued a relationship with her. Ann is professional and really understood what we were looking for. She has great insight into what works, what doesn't and options are for fixing/changing a space. She understood our needs, wants and limitations. Ann has once again found us a great house.
Laureen Skinner

Customer service is the number one priority when I'm looking to engage in any service and Ann has it in spades (or should I say stars). I met her through an online link to the properties I wanted to see. In short order, she organized viewings, facilitated an offer and I'm in! (not even two months later) She's friendly, professional, has excellent resources at her disposal and negotiates an excellent deal! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

very knowledgable of the product, including some issues the sellers agent was unaware off. The issue caused a delay in purchase completion, Ann arranged for me to take possession as scheduled, in spite of title transfer happenning 2 weeks later.

Ann Watley is most professional and her attention to detail is unparalleled. We have been so pleased to have had her help us through the buying process and giving such excellent advice and tips. She is extremely knowledgeable and we found she works very hard for you, and absolutely has your interests at heart. If she does not know something, she says so and then finds the correct answer for you. Ann is a person of high integrity. The stress of finding someone you can have full confidence in is enormous, so when looking for an agent to represent you in dealing with a major purchase, don't hesitate to call Ann. She is to be trusted.
Donna D

Ann worked very hard to not just find us a roof over our heads but a “home” that matched a high percentage of our wants/needs.
She showed us several places knowing they may not be “the one” but each time she listened to our comments to get a better idea what would fit the life style we were looking for.
Faced with very tough market conditions, high prices and low inventory, she never gave up. Because she got to know us when she “found the one” she took immediate action with us which resulted in “our new home”.
We appreciate her commitment, help with some renovation ideas and plans to complete them so we can move in with minimum delay.
In addition, she is just a nice person.
Robert De Clark

Ann is an absolutely amazing realtor her dedication and professionalism are unbeatable. I have worked with a number of realtors before and not one of them even came close to Ann's ethics,
and professionalism and how she delivers. Ann worked tirelessly to find us our place with a tall list of requirements and came through with flying colors in this crazy market, this was no small feat. I would always recommend her exemplary services and use them in the future. Thank you Ann for such an amazing experience. Rob

Joan Coles-Webb

Ann went above and beyond our expectations in the preparation and sale of our property. Her advice on how to prepare the condo for sale was invaluable and resulted in a quick and very profitable sale. Even though our condo was on the lower end of value in comparison to other homes she sells, it was still marketed with the same high level, professional tools and campaigns. As this was an estate sale, there were a lot of legal issues and complexities involved in the sale that Ann was instrumental in helping us navigate. Her knowledge and experience was invaluable. I would highly recommend Ann to anyone buying or selling a home.
Sue Hamel
June 9, 2021
Working with Ann was an absolute pleasure. She exceeded our expectations on all levels and was a powerhouse in helping us find our "forever" home, especially in the insane home market that is Victoria. She always had our best interests in mind and we were always comfortable and confident in any advice or recommendation she offered during the entire process. I would recommend her, without hesitation, to anyone in need of a real estate agent.

We have used Ann Watley as our realtor for the past 7 or 8 years,both buying and selling . Our most recent sale and purchase happened in January 2021. Both the sale of our house, and our first purchase of a condo went smoothly, with no issues. She took the time to explain the condo lifestyle to us, and to ease our minds. Ann's years of experience and knowledge of the area are second to none. I would not hesitate to hire Ann again.

Ann and her team were wonderful, we sold our Condo with her and purchased our dream home. She did a walk through of our home, provided tips on where to focus for buyers, our home sold the day it was listed, she marketed it and priced it perfectly. As for the new home, she found it for us, it had all of our needs and wants plus a bit extra, she worked tirelessly to get a good price and ensured we were well informed along the way. Our occupancy date is a few months away and she is still in constant contact with us. I would recommend her and her team for any sale or purchase you may be thinking about they truly are the best.

Ann came highly recommended to us from friends who had bought & sold several properties using her services. We were not disappointed!
She advised us with prep for the sale of our condo. She promptly provided us with second photographer when we were unhappy with some of the images that were taken initially.
We found Ann to be extremely open, approachable and always professional. With her expertise she took the stress out of the situation for us. She is very knowledgeable about Real Estate in this area. She provided timely and wise advice to us when we needed it. Ann was always available by text or email.
She handled the sale of our property seamlessly!

Ann was very professional and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We were living away from the house we were selling so it was very helpful that she took care of any problems that arose any time of day. Her knowledge of the area and other sales helped us get the most for our sale.
Linden De Wandel
January 16, 2021
Ann was recommended to us by a friend and we are so happy that we chose her to be on our team for the sale of our house. She openly shared her knowledge and understanding of the market with us in a relatable way. Selling a house is a huge (and potentially stressful!) undertaking. Since this was our first time as Sellers, Ann explained each step in the process to us in a clear and concise manner. With Ann's support, we felt completely prepared to make all of the necessary decisions along the way. Although the sale concluded very successfully, it should be noted that we experienced some significant obstacles. Whether it was with recommendations of tradespeople, her knowledge of Tenancy requirements, or someone to use as a sounding board, Ann never waivered and was always there when needed her. Thanks to the efforts of Ann and her team, we were extremely pleased with the outcome of the sale. We would not hesitate to recommend Ann and would absolutely work with her again.

When I first met Ann I knew right away that she was the kind of realtor that I wanted to deal with. It was the first time dealing with a female realtor. She was kind enough to help me sell some of my furniture.
Hopefully my next realtor will be as professional and compassionate as Ann.
Denise Fournier

Ann was very helpful assessing the market for me during an estate settlement. We were able to price the house competitively and get a quick, but fair selling price and favourable terms. As well, Ann recommended a good lawyer to help with the transaction, making it very seamless.
All of this was accomplished while I lived in Ontario. Her network of cleaners, painters, lawyers and landscapers helped us wrap up the sale with little need for me to be physically present.
Thanks Ann!

I found Ann Watley to be an excellent realtor! She was very informative when I was preparing the house to be put on the market. Ann made sure the photo's and listing showed the home beautifully and when listed was considerate about times to show the house. She was very good at telling perspective purchasers why the price matched the value of the home and negotiated to get the highest price possible!
Throughout the process her communication skills were excellent!

Ann is thorough and honest, she has a talent for knowing the market. I highly recommend Ann. If you pass her up as a realtor, you’ve made a mistake in my opinion. I’ve bought and sold my house with her. She has great contacts for repairs, mortgage brokers,etc. A+++
Jan Bruce
September 14, 2020
Ann has helped me with a sale, and a purchase of a home. She is honest, thorough, and incredibly supportive. The whole process of getting your home ready for sale and then showing is incredibly stressful. Ann was direct about what needed to be changed and protected our needs with showing times. And with buying, she pointed out everything the house would need, and had ballpark prices what it would cost. This was a realistic way to view a potential home that helped us buy with our head instead of just our heart. She was always available, honest about expectations, and made the experience less stressful. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend to friends and family. Thanks Ann!!
Jude Wheeler

Ann is a trusted professional and will be our first choice for all our real estate needs.

Ann has been my realtor for several properties. In my work, I am in constant business negotiations so I have little patience or tolerance for “salesly” tactics. Ann is always upfront, honest and knowledgeable about the properties and works with the client to attain the best result. I am happy to recommend Ann to anyone. She worked her way up to being one of the top agents in the country, and the tenure she has as an agent goes to show how trustworthy she is.

Ann is a true gem. After losing my father quite suddenly, I found myself searching for a home for my 3 young kids and me. Even though the terrible grief I was tackling, Ann helped incredibly to navigate, finding us a home where the kids could remain at the same schools and near friends. I am still in the same home 10 years later and should I ever have to make the decision to sell in the future, Ann would certainly be my choice

Janelle Graham
September 10, 2020
Ann is your go to real estate agent!! When everyone else is sleeping she's still working. She was able to show me that I could afford a house and pay myself instead of paying rent. She was able to show me the resources as far as whatever I needed whether you need financing carpentry plumber roofer she has these services/connections in her back pocket. The lengths that Ann will go to make sure her clients are happy and comfortable with the transaction are far beyond the normal. She is more of a "how can I help" than a "not my problem"kind of person. I would highly recommend Ann Watley for any and all of my real estate needs. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL!

When thinking of my experiences with Ann, one word comes to mind, trust ...'a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something'.

Liz England

Ann assisted me with the sale of my home as well as the purchase of two other properties after. She also went above and beyond directing me when I moved from the Island to the Shuswap area. I can not stress enough how professional and efficient Ann was in all stages of selling and purchasing. Ann made everything extremely stress free and smooth and I recommend her 100%.
Shelly Wickens
September 10, 2020
Ann helped us sell our home earlier this year. Ann was really helpful in listing the home for the right price, she had done research on similar homes that were listed and their selling price so this advice was absolutely important. Ann managed all the viewings and updated us on the interest from each potential buyer. What blew our mind was it felt that we were the only client she had, Ann was always there to guide us through each process. Ann explains each process well, is prompt to deal with each process in a timely fashion. She was always there when we had a question. Her knowledge of the market and her experience in real estate is invaluable. Selling a house can be stressful, Ann made our experience the opposite... stress free, smooth and got a great price for our home. Thank you so much Ann. You are the best!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ann on 3 separate occasions. I accredit Ann for making my first house purchase, and every one after, so incredibly pleasant and easy. She is the kind of person that you absolutely want on your side, and she will do everything in her power to make sure you’re happy, whether you’re buying or selling your property! She is incredibly smart, talented and knows how to play hard ball when it’s required. Ann is so knowledgeable when it comes to real estate, and she can translate that knowledge to you so you know exactly what you’re getting into, and you can know that you’re making the right decision. I still have real estate questions, even years after I first had the pleasure of working with Ann, and she still takes the time out of her busy schedule to answer all my questions promptly and professionally. I really can’t wait to work with Ann again, as she makes buying and selling property easy, productive, and fun! You will NOT regret choosing this amazing woman as your next real estate professional, she is one of a kind.

When we retired and moved to Sidney we were uncertain of how this adventure would unfold. We were so fortunate to find Ann Watley who led us through all the stages of finding our perfect dwelling. We are very impressed with Ann's skills in navigating clients from the purchase through to the sale of what can be emotional times. We purchased twice and sold twice and would not have had anyone else to handle it for us. We consider Ann a friend first, then our special realtor.
Bill Scott
September 3, 2020
Ann helped us sell our first home and purchase our second. We were extremely satisfied with all her help, knowledge, wisdom, and frankness (when we (on reflection) were being unreasonable).
She knew a lot about the neighbourhood we were looking to move to and proactive with listings that came up (or were about to come up).
She pointed out pros and cons about the homes we viewed, gave us ideas to spruce things up, and helped us envision what a house could be, rather than what it is.
I would recommend Ann to anyone who ever asked. She's AAA - Awesome, Amazing, Ann!
Tara Daley

Ann worked very hard for our family. Ann negotiated the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new home. Ann asked insightful questions. She gave us feedback, helping clarify our needs and wants. Ann was quick to respond to our inquiries and to set up viewings. Her instincts are solid and trustworthy.
I have given Ann's contact information to friends looking at buying a home and I will continue to do so to anyone who asks. We have no qualms about recommending Ann as an agent.
Ann's authenticity, wit and straightforward language were what we needed to get through what was an huge move for us. Ann found us a home which works great for our family and lifestyle.

Ann has been our realtor for several years. She helped my husband and I purchase our first home together, and a few years later she sold it after just 6 days on the market!
Ann has also been SO SO helpful in the process of finding and purchasing our newest home, which we bought with my in -laws. She has been warm, gentle and patient with us when needed (and with 4 adults opinions to manage, she has had her hands full!), and she has been aggressive and fought for us through some tough real estate negotiations. We wouldn't have found and purchased our newest home without Ann's shrewd & skilled real estate expertise. I can't recommend her enough! You won't regret picking Ann for your real estate agent!

We are so glad to have met and worked with Ann Watley and will recommend her to all our friends. Ann is confident, competent and knowledgeable, and was honest and up front with us right from the beginning. During this very stressful pandemic Ann was always there to answer questions and went above and beyond to make things happen. Ann was always more than willing to go the extra mile just to make things easier for us, and always with a smile on her face. Ann managed both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home.

I was incredibly picky and Ann was my rock the whole time. She knew what I was looking for, pointed out condos coming on the market, but wasn't there simply to show me a good find: she had my back every step of the way. Some 1990s buildings have large remediation bills, others I was told to be very wary of due to the uncertain insurance premiums (especially earthquake insurance which kept zooming up some buildings, year over year. She's a pro.

We had basically spent the last 3 years looking for the perfect house for us and had no intention of selling our current house until our plans changed. Ann was with us every step of the way. First, in sticking with us and assisting us to find our dream house for many months and second, in getting our current house ready for sale and selling it quickly.
Ann has a no nonsense approach and provides info and guidance on how best to ready, price and show your home. She expects that you will work with her as a team in order to get the best possible sale price for your home and if you take her advice I promise you won’t be disappointed.
She gave us a lengthy list of things we had to change or fix in our house, which we knew would cost us some money up front, but if we did them all we could list for a better price and potentially recoup our Reno costs. We did exactly what she said to do right down to changing the electrical plugs to be more modern, and our house sold for list price after only a few days on the market! This has allowed us to not only recoup our Reno costs but have a much larger down payment for the new house.
Ann comes with years of experience, education and an in-depth knowledge of the Real Estate market and your local area. She is professional, respectful and personable to work with. She will not sugar coat anything and will give you the straight answers you need when you are making these big life decisions. This was truly refreshing in this day and age.
I would not hesitate to ask her advice, guidance or assistance in any future real estate ventures we might wade into. I would highly recommend her, and already have, to friends, family and anyone else who will listen as a Real Estate Agent who cares, knows her stuff and gets the results you want. She is an immense please to work with and I’m over the moon that we decided to trust her.

Ann Watley has worked with me three times over the past few years, once to purchase a house, once to sell a house, and now to buy a new home again. In my current transaction she has guided us through the process and made sure we are honestly and competently represented.
Ann is very professional and knowledgeable in her work and explains everything very clearly. I have always been impressed with Ann, which is why I have used her services three times. All aspects of all of the transactions have been handled efficiently and in a timely fashion.
Ann is aware of the feelings of her clients going into the sometimes stressful aspects of a real estate deal and is able to smooth the way for a successful outcome.
I would be happy to recommend Ann to anyone who asked me because I know she would do a first rate job.

We are so grateful to have had Ann represent us when we sold our home. She was always available to talk and had great practical advice to help us get our home ready to list. Ever the professional, she navigated some extremely difficult circumstances (including safely showing our home in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis) with ease and was able to get our house sold very quickly for a great price. Thank you so much Ann.

Truly a great experience from start to completion. Ann walked us through all scenarios and provided amazing insight that only a trusted agent could provide. She led us HOME and for that we are entirely grateful.

Ann made it easy for us to sell the parent's house in Sidney. She handled all the contacts for the myriad of issues such as repair and cleaning which we could not deal with as we live on the mainland. It was great to have Ann as our go to person and greatly reduced the stress that would have been involved commuting to deal with all the little things that pop up when trying to sell a house.

Ann was an amazing agent for us, she was able to help us on very short notice and went out of her way to make sure we found the home for us. She was able to point out positives and negatives to really be able to make an educated decision. Being from out of town, this was extremely helpful! She is also very knowledgeable about the area and local businesses. I would recommend anyone call Ann for their real estate needs!

Ann has been our realtor many times for the past 15-ish years. We wouldn’t have any other. The last sale was a doozy too as she put together a land assembly and made our sale happen!! Her professionalism and easy personality make you feel at ease that the job is getting done. Honestly if you’re wondering about who to have sell your home or a new purchase she is the one.
Thanks Ann🙏

My wife and I have used Ann for the sale and purchase of our primary residence and a revenue property in the Westshore. Ann is dedicated, decisive, and works tirelessly advocating for her clients. We have and will continue to recommend Ann to our friends and colleagues.

Ann was completely professional and made a potentially stressful experience completely stress free and enjoyable! Ann and her team made sure that all the i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed and communicated the entire time to make sure I was comfortable with everything.
I would highly recommend Ann to anyone shopping for houses!!

We found the home we eventually bought before we contacted Ann. She knew the area so well that she knew some of the neighbours by name. The negotiations were with absentee owners but with Ann and excellent office staff the process went without a hitch. We consulted about price and our first offer was accepted. She told us her best guess about how the steps would happen and was bang on. Once we had completed the purchase she came over and consulted with us on renovations, and had great ideas, many of which we implemented. Since we have been here we have called her many times for names of tradesmen and services and each time she responded quickly. We have been very happy with her recommendations. We have only good things to say about Ann Watley.

Ann is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond my wildest expectations. I am an anxious person and she made sure that I was comfortable every step of the way. She had excellent recommendations for every aspect of the transaction (inspection/mortgage broker/lawyer). Every single person involved with the purchase of my condo went above and beyond for me. Ann even has recommendations for people to help turn my purchase into my own sanctuary. If Ann did not have the answer to a question she worked tirelessly until she had an answer that satisfied even her. She worked with me to make sure every question was answered and every detail was taken care of. I could not imagine going through this experience with anyone but her at my side. Thanks for helping make my dreams come true with the purchase of my new home.

We met Ann at a listing in the country and she was very able to answer all of our questions. When this property turned out not to be the one we wanted; Ann told us not to worry and that she was there for us when the right property came along. She continued to send us information about properties that we felt would meet our needs. There was never any feeling that we were not important. Ann is a very patient and conscientious Realtor and a true professional.
The property we have bought fits us so very well. Ann assisted us magnificently throughout the process. She is a wealth of information about our new area and has many contacts for service providers etc. We strongly recommend her as a Realtor.

Ann is a highly ethical agent who comes with extensive experience. We have used Ann for both purchase and sale of very different properties. Each time she had specific knowledge of both the property and the local market. When it comes to setting prices or offers, she provides knowledge and guidance that allows you to make those decisions without pressure.
