Rita Fraser

Nanaimo Real Estate Specialist

Selling and buying real estate is all about new beginnings. Born and raised in Dartmouth Nova Scotia, my first new beginning took me to B.C. in 2006 where I began working as a flight attendant. Through travel, my undying Maritimer outlook flourished and I was able to build a strong reputation for my kind and responsive approach in meeting people’s needs.

For the majority of the last decade I managed and taught at a boutique fitness studio in West Vancouver which fostered the most profound community relationships I have had. Having moved countless times and recently settling in Nanaimo, I felt a calling to specialize in Real Estate where I can continue to apply and cultivate my client care expertise as well as my skills in growing a small business.

Whether you are considering relocating to this island in the pacific or looking to turn your family home into an investment towards a new journey, I’d love to be your expert guide. New beginnings are what I do well.

When I’m not dealing in real estate you can find me adventuring around Vancouver Island with my family and dogs and volunteering with Scouts Canada here in Nanaimo.

Je suis contente de vous accueillir en français!

I would like to acknowledge that I practice on the traditional territories of the Snuneymuxw First Nation. I thank them for allowing me to work on their territory.

Client Experiences

What My Clients Say

"Wow! Such a great agent. I first met Rita when I decided to put an offer in on a house in Nanaimo while I still lived in Ontario. Rita returned my call immediately and within minutes we formed a connection. She took me on a FaceTime tour of the house giving honest criticisms and compliments. I decided to make an offer and the rest is history. I now live in a beautiful home in Rocky Point. Rita was spot on. During the months between the offer and closing I had unending questions. Rita researched all the processes of purchasing outside of province. Every question was answered completely and in a timely manner. She was there for me night and day, always with a smile in her voice, even times I forgot about the three hour time difference. I wouldn’t think of recommending anyone but Rita should the opportunity arise. Definitely a 5+!"

Mary Mullen
Buyer

"We are so grateful to have met and worked with Rita to sell and purchase our home. What is usually a stressful time was made so much easier by Rita’s excellent organizational skills, prompt responses, great communication and her willingness to offer us whatever help we needed to get us into our new place!"

Emma Hoffman
Buyer/Seller

"Working with Rita was an absolute pleasure. She was very quick to respond and proactive about showing us additional listings that fit our parameters. She was very knowledgeable about the local real estate market and helped us make an informed decision on our offer. I would highly recommend working with her if you want a friendly, competent person accompanying you in your real estate transaction. We loved working with her so much we even recommended her to my partner's parents!"

Tashi Pietrzykowska
Buyer

"Rita patiently guided me and my partner through the purchase of our first home. She didn’t rush the viewing and was patient throughout the process. At no point we felt pressured to buy. She negotiated the best price possible. She was quick to respond to our questions, giving her honest opinion and offering realistic advice. She is hard working with great communication skills. We are very happy with her work and our new home, and we would most definitely recommend her!"

Murat Inan
Buyer

"Working with Rita was one of the best experiences we have had, professional and otherwise. Kathryn and I feel we made a friend far beyond just having a realtor. Rita made time for our questions and and put together a contract for the sale thay protected us and made the house buying experience a pleasure. Thank you Rita."

Don Fraser
Buyer

"Thank you for your great service!

Super competent, always friendly and pleasant to deal with, but also critical of the content when necessary.

Rita's focus is on the interests of the buyer, not the next sale. We would work with Rita again at any time!"

Thomas Hohl
Buyer

"We recently made the move from Ontario to Nanaimo, BC. Prior to moving, while doing some research on Nanaimo, I stumbled across Rita’s videos online. In her videos, Rita presented herself as not only knowledgeable but also as an approachable and down to earth person. We decided to reach out for a Zoom meeting and after getting to speak with her about our needs, we knew she was the realtor we needed to work with.

Being from out of province, Rita was able to video call us for a showing and have all the paperwork done online. We felt confident in knowing she was representing us from across the country. Rita even accompanied our home inspector to the house and gave us an immediate update on any issues before the official report came in.

From initial contact to finally meeting in person and getting our keys, we always felt that Rita was very professional and kept our best interests in mind.

We are so happy we had the opportunity to work with Rita! She truly went over and above for us. We highly recommend her to anyone moving to or within Vancouver Island.
