What do Clients Say?

“I’m not sure if I can fully express the gratitude I have for Eleanor and her team during our large and overwhelming process of selling our father’s home, all from a distance! I knew immediately upon meeting Eleanor that she was a seller’s agent, caring deeply about the wants and needs of her clients. Her experience and previous testimonials speak volumes, but throughout the process it was such a comfort to know that she was an email or phone call away, always providing updates and invaluable support from start to finish, including staging support and advice, leaning on her interior design back ground. Eleanor’s professionalism and caring nature was not only a comfort, but crucial in surrendering the many little points necessary in successfully selling our Dad’s home. She worked tirelessly, devoting special attention at all the turns. She and her team coordinated countless appointments on our behalf always making sure we hired the best people who, equally, delivered results. Ultimately, we couldn’t be happier with the selling price and I fully attribute this to Eleanor’s savvy know-how and commitment to the seller with respect to the buyer. She was a delight at every turn, even when the clock was ticking and I’m sure she was juggling many projects at once! When she says that she is a full service agency, she means business! We trusted Eleanor with an emotional sell, all the while, her clients, us!, resided in different cities and countries! Anything is possible with Eleanor, you will not be disappointed”.

“After we sold our home we were working with Eleanor to help us find our next home. Our warning to Eleanor was that we may be difficult to please as we would only know what we were looking for once we found it. Eleanor was very supportive and professional. She always came to the listing we were viewing prepared with the listing sheet and comparables so we had the information we needed to view the property in an objective way. When we found our perfect home she did an excellent job of representing us. In this extremely competitive market she was able to work with the seller, who has also reviewing three other offers at the time, to show them that we were the perfect choice for their home. She wrote a letter about us and highlighted the common threads between the seller and us. Based on her skill and professional expertise we are the successful owners of our dream home. I doubt that this would have been possible without Eleanor’s keen awareness of human nature and knowing what to do and when to do it. We highly recommend Eleanor’s professional, dedicated and friendly service. She is knowledgeable about the current real estate market, is a hard worker and will work in your best interest. We will certainly use Eleanor again.”

“Eleanor has been by my side, buying a selling my homes, since I moved to Victoria 3 years ago. I first met her through business and I immediately knew that I wanted her to be my agent because of her professionalism. When we first started looking, it quickly became evident that she intuitively knew exactly what I was looking for and she bent over backwards to find me that home. Since then, she has found me a second home and sold my first home at a profit! My second home, is my “forever” home. Eleanor knew this from the moment she showed it to me. She fought a tough fight for me to get it, knowing what price to negotiate to ensure my offer was accepted. As a client that has had Eleanor both buy and sell my homes, I have had the opportunity to see all sides of Eleanor. Not only does she always puts the client first and work overtime to find your perfect home but, when selling your home, she is meticulous and thorough and no detail is left unattended to. I trust her completely and would recommend her services to anyone wanting to purchase or sell a home.”

About Eleanor

Eleanor Smith earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design at Iowa State University while undertaking a full-track scholarship in 400 meter, 4 x 400 meter relay and 400 meter hurdles. Upon graduation, she worked with a Chicago-based interior design firm, and then continued on to several Toronto-based interior design and architecture firms where she completed design projects in Canada, the United States and England. She was appointed the head interior designer at a leading Toronto architectural firm. In 1992, she joined Royal LePage Bloor/West Village office, which operated as the second highest producing office in Canada.  Looking to shift to the outdoors-oriented West Coast lifestyle, Eleanor and her husband, Malcolm, moved their family to Victoria in 1994.

Over the past twenty-five years, Eleanor has earned a reputation as a principal designer who creates balanced, green and sustainable spaces in diverse residential and commercial environments.  Her company, Harmony Creative Interiors Ltd., has completed a wide variety of creative and budget-conscious interior projects to provide Victoria-based clients with high-quality, eco-friendly and lasting designs since 1995. In her spare time, Eleanor develops her leadership skills as a coach with the Victoria Track and Field Club where she has shared her track and field expertise with athletes ages 9-16 in hurdles and sprinting.

Drawing on her extensive interior design background, Eleanor now brings her eye for interior space, her attention to detail, and her local knowledge of Victoria to her clients at Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty and previously at Macdonald Realty Ltd. Her passion for the Victoria area – fuelled in part by time spent sailing the waters of the Pacific Northwest with her family – motivates her to help clients find their perfect home in the Victoria area. Her dedication and attention to detail have allowed Eleanor and her clients to navigate real estate solutions with integrity and excellence.
