Loralee Burns

Growing up on a small farm in Maple Ridge, I’ve always loved all the things a country lifestyle has to offer. And even though life has taken me to different places with many unique experiences … including living the caravan lifestyle with my family in New Zealand…. there’s nothing like living on the island! 

 

I remember purchasing my first home when I was 20, and I’ve loved real estate and interior design ever since. In fact, my husband and I have since bought, renovated, and sold multiple properties and have learned a lot about which jobs to tackle ... and when to hire a professional!

 

Having moved cities, provinces and countries - with family and animals in tow - I have tested my 'we can handle anything’ skills that I had learned in my previous career as a social worker. When I decided to take a step back from social work, transitioning to real estate felt like a natural fit. It allows me to combine my skills in communication, problem-solving, and guiding people through significant life transitions.

 

Over the years, I have learned a thing or two about the ins and outs of relocating personally and professionally. Whatever your lifestyle dreams and goals might be … I love what I do and I have the right experience, connections, and skills to help you get from where you are, to where you want to be.

 

Whenever you’re ready, let’s have a conversation and explore what moving would look like for you at this stage of your life and how my experience can help along the way.

Maegan Morton

Hi, I’m Maegan Morton, a lifelong Vancouver Islander and proud Vancouver Island University alumna. Growing up in Cedar, a small village near Nanaimo, I gained a deep appreciation for the unique charm and sense of community that makes Vancouver Island incredibly special. With a background in Conveyancing and real estate team management, I bring both expertise and a personal touch to guide you through every detail of buying or selling your home with care and confidence.

 

When I’m not working with clients, I’m immersed in the beauty of Vancouver Island - horseback riding, exploring trails, gardening, or doing yoga. I also enjoy restoring vintage Toyotas, channeling my love for precision and attention to detail into every project. 

 

To me, real estate on Vancouver Island is about more than just properties - it’s about building relationships and creating trust. My mission is to make your experience seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable, tailoring my approach to meet your unique goals. Whether you’re seeking a cozy family home, a sprawling acreage, or an investment property, I’m here to help every step of the way!

REVIEWS

We’re from the mainland and had to sell our property on the island due to some difficult circumstances. Maegan and Loralee were incredible through the entire process and went far beyond what we ever expected from our realtors. They handled everything for us locally, were always responsive and dependable, and even continued helping us with pending issues after the sale had completed. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for better people to have in our corner and would recommend them without hesitation.

Maegan and Loralee initially worked with us long distance when we began to look at houses in BC from our location in the UK. They sent links to many houses which we visited online, and they made trips to check out some of the houses we were most interested in, and give us virtual tours if we asked for them. After we arrived on Vancouver Island, they suggested houses and arranged viewings, always being cognisant of our special requirements, including the need to accommodate a big grand piano in a separate space for my music teaching practice. They answered questions about the real estate process in BC, and also provided pages of detailed information about whatever houses we liked. They eventually guided us through the emotionally challenging adventure of a competitive multiple-bid purchase for the house we had set our hearts on, and their good advice resulted in the seller accepting ours over other close offers . It was a long journey of ups and downs, disappointments and hard work, but Loralee and Megaen made it fun! They were always upbeat, always working hard for us, and I feel they were sincerely concerned that we would end up in "the" house, the one that was right for us and could be called our forever home. And we did! Very grateful to you both for time and effort, and for your real interest in finding a house that we would love. And for making the whole journey exciting and fun! We would recommend Maegan and Loralee to anyone looking for a new home, urban as well as rural, in the Cowichan Valley, North Island and beyond.
