What my clients are saying about buying or selling their Vancouver Island property with me...

My wife and I have recently downsized to a condo. Over many months, we were privileged to have Mariann Abram as our agent. With her vast experience, knowledgeable background, good humour and patience, Mariann educated us and helped us clarify our needs. 

When it came offer time, Mariann proved exceptionally helpful in navigating our way through strata living and in successfully culminating the deal. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Mariann, the epitome of professionalism and skill, as an outstanding agent to help you on your real estate journey.

- Dr. Paul S.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Mariann as our buyer's agent for our recent home purchase this summer. She was confident, assuring, caring, knowledgeable, detail oriented, and a great communicator - skills that are seldom seen all in one package - and she is definitely unique!

We often reflect on how fortunate we were to make a connection with Mariann and would urge anyone seeking a realtor to put her at the top of the list - the experience is guaranteed to be rewarding for all parties.

- Jeannie and Peter E.

We had the good fortune of being introduced to Mariann Abram about seven years ago. Mariann showed us properties nearby Sidney and North Saanich for our planned retirement to Vancouver Island from the Okanagan Valley. Since then she has been our immediate “go to” on properties of interest. 

Mariann has an excellent knowledge of the business of selling/purchasing properties and knows the areas on the Peninsula and Victoria area very well. We quickly came to trust her excellent judgement, clear communication and dedication to finding the ideal property to satisfy and serve the needs of her clients.

Mariann truly listens to her clients' needs and wishes, advising and channeling them with consideration for their best interests while putting her years of experience to work efficiently. We highly regard, trust and appreciate Mariann. An honest, hard working real estate professional!

- Murray and Cathy Fenwick

With Mariann’s encouragement, expertise and guidance, we have been able to purchase our new home.  Mariann took the time to get to know us, and to understand our short and long-term needs in a home.  When a property became available that might be ‘the one,’ she made sure that we knew everything about it – positive and negative –  so we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision.  

When we were uncertain we could coordinate everything that needed to happen in a short time, Mariann encouraged us and let us know that she and a number of other experts were on our team to help us!  In the end, with Mariann’s help, we were able to sell two condos, arrange financing, and buy our new home. 

We will always be grateful to Mariann for her unwavering integrity in navigating all the complications of the purchase, always standing up for our best interests, and ultimately sharing in the excitement of being able to buy our forever home!

- Gord and Teresa C.

We were blessed to have Mariann as our agent as we were looking for a new home in the Saanich area. Absolutely everything about our experience with her was magical - a blend of personal, professional, informative, supportive, and kind. 

We really felt that Mariann was protecting our interests, while maintaining a very professional attitude of being objective and neutral. There were a LOT of details to finalize with the owner of the house we purchased, and she was totally on top of ALL of it, in the best possible way. Thank you for making it such an easy experience!

- Simon G.

My husband and I had the distinct pleasure to work with Mariann Abram. From the moment she took our call about a listing, to the day we took possession of our new home a short three weeks later, we knew we could trust Mariann to look out for our best interest. 

She helped us navigate the complexity and intensity of the market and made our search for a home a pleasurable experience instead of a stressful one. Her expertise, thoroughness and attention to detail were unparalleled, and all of this was underpinned by her indefatigable cheer and graciousness. We can’t recommend Mariann highly enough!

- Theresa C.

Out of my many real estate moves, Mariann Abram provided the best support. She simply listened and understood what my needs were and what I was ultimately looking for in my next home. This past year has not been easy, between the pandemic and a highly competitive market - she supported and continues to provide support. I highly recommend Mariann.

- Trish R.

Mariann Abram was an absolute dream to work with. As first-time home buyers Mariann made us feel comfortable and held our hands every step of the way. Her contact with us was consistent and professional, always keeping us up to date with every move and making sure we had all our ducks in a row. We are so pleased with our purchase and can't thank Mariann enough for helping us make our home ownership dreams come true. We would highly recommend working with her on your next purchase or sale!

- Danielle S.

We worked closely with Mariann Abram for nearly two years to find and buy our dream home in Victoria, B.C. Mariann was always responsive, helpful, and gracious, watched out for our interests and gave us good advice. I would recommend her without reservation for anyone who needs a good agent in Victoria. She is truly a pleasure to work with.

Mariann Abram is the consummate professional in all things real estate in Victoria. A highly skilled negotiator, she puts the needs of her clients in the forefront while balancing the demands of this highly challenging marketplace. Attention to every last detail and a wide network of resources, she leaves no stone un-turned for her buyers - both in the search for the perfect home, and the due diligence required to confidently make such a big purchase. 

As a human being she is kind, patient and does not use pressure, rather consistently presents different options for her clients. Mariann cares about her clients and genuinely wants to see happy clients in their perfect home at the right price. Experienced in real estate in Vancouver, I came to Victoria to find a home, in a new city during a pandemic. Mariann outperformed in every aspect of the search, negotiation and ultimate purchase of my new home.

- Sandra H.

Mariann Abram helped me find and buy my ideal new home in Sidney in just one week. Mariann was always very professional, but friendly as well. Her good advice and calm manner took the stress out of finding and buying a new home. I knew I could trust Mariann completely to guide me in the right direction.

It is an ongoing pleasure to recommend Mariann Abram to my family and friends who are looking for a home to purchase in the Greater Victoria Area. Mariann showed great commitment in helping my family find a home. Her honesty, patience, perseverance, and lovely nature made the experience a positive one.

We lucked out when we asked Mariann Abram to help us find a home in Sidney. After several moves over a few decades, we’ve never worked with a realtor who better understood our needs, advised us with direct honesty and followed up with every single detail of the process. Mariann is very knowledgeable, patient and simply a warm and delightful person.

Mariann Abram has been a fabulous realtor to work with. I have greatly appreciated her support in the recent purchase of a beautiful property in Victoria West. She took the time to answer all my questions and guide me through the purchase process. I would definitely recommend her expertise and knowledge in local real estate.

Mariann Abram worked very hard for me and managed to snag the perfect property despite some other offers. She was very professional, responded to phone calls and emails promptly, and was really focused until we were successful. As well, she is a charming and personable woman, very easy to work with. Thank you!

Thank you to Mariann Abram who recently helped my mother and me buy a home. She was very professional, kind and extremely helpful during the entire experience working with her. We had many questions and some concerns, but she was immediately responsive with any follow up needed and we are very grateful.

- Trish M.

Mariann Abram was excellent. Very professional and most thorough agent we have ever used. We will use her again without hesitation. Can’t recommend her enough!

- Mark F.

We worked with Mariann Abram, and I have never had such a positive experience with a realtor. Mariann really got to know us, understood what we wanted, and only sent potential homes that she felt were a fit (which saved us time). Then, when it came to the purchase of our house, she was so supportive and helped us through every detail. 

She keeps track of everything, referred a wonderful house inspector and ensured we had all the information we needed before our subjects were removed. I felt like I had a true partner throughout the process. She is kind, honest, professional, responsive, and very, very good at what she does. I highly recommend her to represent anyone looking to buy a home! We are so grateful to her!

- Allison L.

My partner and I bought our first home with Mariann! She was a delight to work with, is incredibly responsive and helpful, and it is clear how experienced and knowledgeable she is in this field. Always professional, she supported us in navigating the steep learning curve of buying our first home and diligently ensured that each “i” was dotted and “t” was crossed along the way. 

Beyond the warmth that she brings to every interaction, Mariann also brings a wealth of professional connections and strategic knowledge in this field. We would highly recommend Mariann's services.

- Cecilia R.

I just had to write and express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to the most amazing Mariann Abram, for her help in guiding us through the intense and stressful process of house buying. With her expert help we were able to buy our dream home. She was so thoughtful, caring, and capable and she anticipated our worries and concerns and put us at ease. She was always there for us at all hours to answer our questions and replied so promptly to our emails and phone calls.


I cannot praise her highly enough to do her justice, except to say that she is brilliant! Thank you so much Mariann.
