Why Choose Elise? It Starts with Trust and Proven Results.

Proven Results in a Competitive Market

In Metro Vancouver's busy real estate market, picking the right agent is the most important decision you'll make. With so many agents out there, a history of success and real credentials are what truly matter.

With over two decades of dedicated experience, Elise Weatherby isn't just another agent—she's a recognized leader. Her performance consistently places her among the top 10% of REALTORS® in New Westminster and Metro Vancouver, as a MLS® Gold Master Medallion achiever. These aren't just titles; they're industry awards that prove she successfully helps many clients and truly understands the market. For you, this track record means better results, less risk, and a more successful sale or purchase.

On top of her personal success, she is the owner of Dogwood Realty, a boutique firm focused on personalized service. This combination of top-tier personal performance, successful business ownership, and a proven reputation for integrity means you can trust her completely. When you work with Elise, you're not just getting a great agent; you're partnering with a trusted, successful local business.

Your Guide Through Every Step of the Process

But it's not just about awards. A great REALTOR® is someone who protects your interests every step of the way. That means being a great negotiator and giving you smart advice before you even get to the offer stage. Elise has built her career on doing both exceptionally well.

It's a bold claim that "over her long and established career, there isn't a situation Elise hasn't encountered and successfully negotiated," but her clients' experiences back it up. One client shared that their transactions "were handled professionally and were stress-free in Elise's capable hands, even when negotiations got a bit tough with the buyers". Her ability to handle tricky situations while keeping her clients calm is what makes her stand out.

Her work starts long before any offers are made. She acts as your trusted advisor, helping you with big decisions like "if you should sell or buy first or when the best time to sell is". This advice gives you a "clear path forward that makes good financial and emotional sense," so you can move ahead with "confidence and certainty". You can see the results of her expertise in what her clients say, with one seller remarking, "Elise was right on in pricing our house to ensure a fast sale!". With two decades of experience, she provides more than just a successful sale—she gives her clients a sense of clarity and security. What she delivers isn't just a sold sign or new keys; it's peace of mind during a process that can often feel uncertain.

The Advantage of a True Local Expert

In real estate, anyone can look up numbers online. But real, on-the-ground local knowledge? That's priceless. Any agent can pull up listings, but a true local expert knows the stories behind the stats—the details that help you make the best decisions.

Elise's expertise isn't just professional; it's personal. She lives and works in the Uptown neighbourhood of New Westminster—or "New West," as locals call it—so she's part of the community. Her home base is the perfect spot to serve clients across New Westminster, Burnaby, Vancouver, Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam. As an "active community member," her connection to the area goes far beyond just real estate.

This firsthand knowledge gives her clients a real advantage. An agent who only works in an area sees the market in terms of transactions. An agent who lives there understands the lifestyle—the best schools, the feel of a neighborhood, the traffic, and what's new and upcoming. For buyers, this means finding a home that truly fits your life. For sellers, it means highlighting the unique lifestyle benefits of your property to find the right buyer faster and for a better price. This means she's more than just an agent who sends you listings; she's a trusted advisor who can tell you about the things you won't find online.

Service That Cares

More Than Just a Transaction:

Lots of agents talk about "personalized service," but what does that actually mean? For Elise, going above and beyond isn't just a slogan—it's what she does every day. Her commitment to her clients shows in her actions.

Protecting Your Future Investment

The Diligent Professional:

Great service means looking out for your future. One client recalls, "When we looked at places to buy, she would point out things we wouldn't have noticed (eg. If the carpets are loose, or if the roof has recently been installed, or if the furnace needs maintenance soon, etc)". This isn't just helpful—it's about protecting your investment. Her sharp eye can save you thousands of dollars and future headaches, turning a simple viewing into a smart investment analysis.

Caring for Your Family

The Unwavering Support System:

But what really shows Elise's character are the moments she goes beyond the job description of a REALTOR®. A client shared this incredible story: "She offered to bring her nanny along to help watch my daughter during our home inspection... She even watched our buyer's daughter during our open house so the buyers could view our apartment!!!". These aren't the actions of someone just trying to make a sale. They're the actions of someone who sees her clients as people going through a major life event and genuinely wants to help make it easier.

Every Client is the Only Client

The Boutique Promise:

The amazing, personal service Elise offers isn't by chance—it's by design. As the owner of Dogwood Realty, a "boutique real estate firm specializing in personalized service and attention to detail," she's built her business to make sure every client has a great experience.

Unlike big businesses where you might get passed off,, with the boutique model, when you hire Elise, you get Elise. This allows her to be personally invested and quick to respond in a way that just isn't possible at a larger company. Her clients feel the difference. One says, "She listens, she really took time to understand my needs and wants". Another loves her responsiveness: "She is quick in replies and follows up really well on both ends to ease any anxiety". This feedback, along with praise for her "Friendly & Efficient service" and "prompt follow-up," is the direct result of how she's structured her business. The "Boutique Promise" means you can count on getting the same personal, attentive, and effective service she's known for, every single time.
