Who inspires you?

I get my inspiration from my family, they are the reason I do everything I do.

The O'Quinn team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Friendly and accommodating, they answered every questioned promptly. Once they gathered what we were looking for, they not only were able to quickly book showings but also actively searched for houses they knew we would want but did not find on MLS. One of those houses ended up being our purchase! They were not after a quick sell, and took the time needed to research possible problems on properties as well as resale values for the future. If you need a realtor in the Trenton area look no further than Lorraine and her family. If I could rate 10/5 I would. Thank you to the O'Quinn team for helping us find the perfect home!

The O’Quinn Team was an amazing team to work with when we were looking to buy a house. They were so honest and knowledgeable with their opinions on houses and surrounding areas. Their communication response was so quick and they really listened to our wants and concerns. I would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell to work with the O’Quinn team, you won’t be disappointed.

Hannah HughesOctober 28, 2022

I had the pleasure to work with Lorraine for two transactions; the purchase of our first home and an income property in Belleville. Always available and proactive throughout both transactions, Lorraine made it easy to get answers to all of my questions. She is definitely working for you, and will be a tough negotiator making sure you get the best deal possible.
I definitely recommend the O'Quinn Team and will do business again in the near future. Thanks Lorraine!

Without a doubt one of the top relocation experts in the Country. They tell you exactly what you need to hear, which is more important then what you want to hear most times. Super responsive, answered difficult questions at all hours of the day, facilitated e-signing and connected us with a variety of contacts necessary for owning a home. I've bought two houses and sold one house with the O'Quinn team and recommend their services to all my friends. If you are in the housing market you NEED to give Lorraine and her team a call...TODAY!

Etienne LegresleyJuly 30, 2020

Brandon and Lorraine were amazing during the process of selling our home during this pandemic. They arranged safe, private showings and worked so hard to advertise for us and get us a great sale. We cannot wait until we are posted back to Trenton. We look forward to working with them again and recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Quinte area.

Shelby ClohosseyJuly 16, 2020

O'Quinn Team has knocked it out of the park again. Lorraine's professional, knowledgeable team made selling our home during the Covid-19 pandemic worry free. The knowledgeable team was quick to answer all our questions and worked with us to market our home for a quick hassle-free sale. The O'Quinn team was keenly aware of the challenges of a military move and helped us navigate the process. I highly recommend the O'Quinn Team to assist with either purchasing or selling your home.

Guy ParisienAugust 24, 2020

The O'Quinn Team, led by Lorraine O'Quinn, is a cut above the rest. From beginning to end, our selling experience was excellent and Lorraine was available to answer any questions or concerns, any time of day or night! Thanks for everything!

Annette MarshallSeptember 2, 2021

Lorraine was our agent for 2 purchases, and she was amazing! Super attentive and responsive to all of questions and needs. If you are buying or selling a home ask for Lorraine, she won't disappoint!

Natasha DarganSeptember 10, 2020

Lorraine and her team made the entire process of selling our home very smooth. All of their hard work paid off and we couldn’t be happier!

Victoria RobertsonMay 5, 2022

We have worked with Lorraine for both a purchase and a sale of our house and she was outstanding! She always makes herself available, she is reassuring and instills confidence in her clients! She fights for the best results and ensures the stress of a move is minimized! Highly recommend!

TheSmangeSeptember 3, 2019

In 2016 I chose Lorraine O’Quinn to assist me in search of my first home. At the time, I was very stressed about the situation and knew very little about the process of purchasing a home for the first time. She helped with absolutely everything and made the search and purchase so easy for me. 5 years later, I decided I would like to upgrade and am now working with her youngest son, Brandon. Can’t say enough good things about the O’Quinn team. They are very knowledgeable, professional and help you with absolutely everything to do with home buying or selling. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Quinte area in search of a new home or for selling their current home!

Colin PatrickJanuary 12, 2021

We recently listed our house with the O'Quinn Team, specifically Lorraine and Brandon, and being a military family with a few moves under our belt, this has to be our best experience with a Realtor yet! They worked tirelessly to make sure our house sold, they were in constant communication with us and kept is informed as the process went on! They went above and beyond for us, even with a deal over the weekend, Lorraine was contacting community resources to ensure this deal went through! We could not say enough great things about Lorraine and Brandon and would HIGHLY recommend them!

Victoria LeeMay 21, 2021

We are a military family being posted to Trenton. Relocating to a new Province and buying a house is generally stressful, but doing that during a pandemic, with movement restrictions at both locations is a whole other story! Lorraine and Brandon O'Quinn helped us purchase a house remotely. They were our eyes and ears on the ground. They were flexible using technology to allow us to do virtual viewings, they showed us neighbourhoods and provided us with first impressions on homes, showed us areas, services, etc.

It wasn't easy, we made plenty of offers and lost out. But Brandon and Lorraine never gave up. We really appreciated their honesty, understanding and adaptability. We also appreciated the kind words of encouragement they gave us when it felt like we'd never find something in our price range. They worked tirelessly for us, answering all of our questions and calming all of our fears. I highly recommend this dynamic and friendly duo. I will miss working with them.

I came from Colorado with only a few days to find a home, and Lorraine stepped right up to the task. We saw over a dozen houses in just four days, each selected according to our criteria, and not once did she imply that I was being too picky. Her energy kept me focused, and sure enough, I finally settled on just what we needed. Unfailingly cheerful and thoroughly knowledgeable, Lorraine made me feel that there was no other search or client that needed her attention. After the offer was accepted, she and her team made the closing of the sale easy and stress-free. I recommend the O"Quinn Team without reservation.

Tom Kupecz

Lorraine has been awesome with us. She totally found us exactly what we were looking for when we moved to Trenton. We recommend her to every one we know that is looking for a home in the Quinte area. She and her team are very professional and responsive to all the needs of home buyers.

dwgoddenFebruary 20, 2020

I highly recommend the O'Quinn team! The team is made up of extremely efficient staff and Lorraine is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Jenny DoucetFebruary 26, 2020

We used Lorraine and her team to buy and sell, and we're beyond pleased with the level of knowledge, service and professionalism. Both transactions were flawless and our home sold in one day! Highly recommended!

Mark Henneberry

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Lorraine and her team made both our experiences as buyers and sellers a dream. She is always available for all the little questions and goes over everything so clearly, it takes so much stress off during these moves in life. Thank you O'Quinn Team... :)

Kevin MurphyJuly 24, 2019

Lorraine O'Quinn is number one in the area....she is the most trusted and busy real estate agent in the Quinte area.

I sold my house with Lorraine and I must say that she has been excellent! She is very professional and it gave me great comfort knowing that I could rely on her for an honest and expert opinion.

AngelaApril 25, 2019

Working with Lorraine and her team was amazing. She knows everything about the area and the market to help make the process stress free. We've worked with her for buying and selling. She devotes her time to answer any questions and gives honest assessments and suggestions. Her listings sell quick, which is a testament to her skills. Choosing her is a no brainer. She's also a lot fun to be around, which makes the decision to choose her team even easier.

Andrew DavidsonApril 22, 2019

The entire O'Quinn Team was Fantastic. Lorraine worked with us on out HHT and was able to find us the perfect home. I would 100% recommend her as she made our experience both pleasant and worry free.

Ryan J

The O’Quinn Team came highly recommended by numerous co-workers and close friends. Lorraine made our HHT a very pleasant experience because of her effective and open communication. We never once felt “out of the loop” or lost in the process. She always knew the right person to call if we needed a certain inspection or information. She and her team were always there for us and constantly updated us on the status of our purchase, which is crucial when you’re on a time crunch in a competitive market. We hope to stay in our new home for some time, but when we move again we will be listing with the O’Quinn Team!

Thank you O'Quinn Team... :)

During my military career I have been posted many times and I have been fortunate enough to have Lorraine’s team by my side every time that I have sold or bought a house in the Trenton/Belleville area. To date, Lorraine has provided support and sound advice on 3 purchases and expertly sold them using effective communication and marketing strategies. What should have been a stressful process proved to be an enjoyable experience and I look forward to the day that my family and I return to Trenton to pick out our retirement home. Most certainly, Lorraine O’Quinn, my trusted realtor, will be at our side when we sign the dotted line.

Kent T

Lorraine was my Realtor when we moved to Trenton, I’d never been to Ontario at all, it was overwhelming. She guided us and we bought in an awesome neighbourhood with great schools for my kids. When we were posted out it was a no-brainer to call Lorraine to list my house. She’s the best of the best, honest, ethical, hardworking. Call her, you will NOT regret it!!

Andrea D.

We used Lorraine and her team to buy and sell, and we're beyond pleased with the level of knowledge, service and professionalism. Both transactions were flawless and our home sold in one day! Highly recommended!

Mark H.

Lorraine is the best agent In the area! Through the years, she helped us with buying 3 houses and selling 2. Every time, she was 100% dedicated to find the house we needed and selling our house promptly and at the right price. She is competent, dedicated, professional and we also a lot of fun!!!! She knows her stuff!!

Eric B

Lorraine is upfront and honest, professional, highly skilled; self assured. I have never met a real estate person like her, she just knows her job well. Sometimes you encounter a person like that, who is the best in their field. If it happens, we should consider ourselves lucky. My mother said to me once, 'Should anything happen to me, make sure you get Lorraine O'Quinn to sell my house'. Well unfortunately, my mom did pass away and I immediately called Lorraine and she took care of me during the most difficult time in my life. She was exactly what I needed and sold my mom's house the day it went on the market because she helped me price it appropriately and prepare it for sale. My mom had a tendency to know quality, and as usual she was right. I never forgot Lorraine's incredible kindness and I didn't hesitate to call her when I was ready to sell my own home. Thank you Lorraine.

Just wanted to say how fabulous Lorraine and her team are. We loved the fact that she listened to our needs and requests and was able to streamline our visits to what we really wanted.
She treated us like an old friend and we loved her immediately. She was honest ,efficient, committed to us, and made our purchase seamless. We thank her for making a stress adventure actually fun. By far the best realtor® and experience we have had. Thanks Lorraine.

Janet and Drew

The service and personal attention we received from the O’Quinn Team was exceptional and unexpected. They are truly a high-calibre team. Their knowledge of the local market and their key contacts in the community helped us in our search for our home.
After patiently going through listings and explaining all details with us, they made sure we got the best value purchase for our new home! ?We have had the pleasure of dealing with Lorraine O’Quinn for the purchase of two homes and the selling of one home, over the years she has always been completely honest and straight forward, qualities we admire and appreciate.  Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend you hire the O’Quinn Team to help you in this life changing move. We could not have asked for a better realtor® to guide us through the process.

Shannon and Stephen

It was a pleasure to work with Lorraine for the sale of my house. From our first meeting, she provided professional advice while not putting any undue pressure on me with regards to price or marketing strategy.
We discussed the market and she showed where my house fit in it and how she proposed to market it. She was always frank and honest in all our discussions, worked diligently and kept me informed of each showing. I knew from the start that when my house sells, I would have no regret because of the professional approach she applied. I highly recommend Lorraine as a realtor® and would hire her again without any hesitation whether to buy or sell a house.

Lorraine O'Quinn. Where do I begin? I remember deciding to choose her as my agent when I noticed year after year that her name was all over our neighborhood and houses always sold quick!
Being a military family, I wanted a head start and I met with her before I even knew I was moving and she took the time to come in and appraise our house and give tips on what to do to prepare to sell when the time came. Long behold, we found out we had to move during winter in short notice. With 2 young kids, it was stressful to think about staging a house let alone selling over winter.
We met with Lorraine and she gave us great referrals, from contractors to cleaners to help us get ready and our file was already started so we could list as soon as we were ready. I was amazed at how organized she was and how much she helped us above and beyond a real estate agents job description.
With only a few months to get this all done, I admit, I messaged her and asked her a lot of questions. She was always quick to respond, always open and honest. I'm still surprised she responded to me when she was on vacation on the beaches of Mexico! Lol. Very personable and helped ease my stresses.
There's no words to really describe how much she has helped our family during such a stressful time and telling me not to worry, that she will sell my house. And of course, I didn't believe her but in a short time, she pulled through and our house sold with a quick closing date as we needed to move together as a family. Everything worked out perfectly. I would never refer anyone else but Lorraine.
Thank you Lorraine and O'Quinn Team for all your support. You guys are seriously the best!! I look forward to getting posted back and bugging you once again, but this time to find me a new home!

Captain Claudine and Sgt AaronAugust 15, 2018

Three words to best describe Lorraine O'Quinn and the O'Quinn Team, Communication, Honesty and Compassion. 
We first, met Lorraine a year ago when we had to sell my parents home which I might add was an emotional and stressful time for our family.  She organized the sale of the house and sold the house in a very timely fashion.  During that experience it was obvious to my husband and I that she is a terrific salesperson.  When it came time to sell our own home we did not hesitate to contact Lorraine to list our house.  We were confident in knowing that she would be just as open, approachable and down to earth when discussing marketing strategies, the list price and time lines.  Her team followed through with the same dedication, commitment and friendly approach to give us constant and continuous feedback as we showed and sold our home. 
We very confidently, highly recommend Lorraine and The O'Quinn Team for advice about current market trends.  Their invaluable knowledge, experience and caring professionalism is priceless!

Liz and Larry W.September 12, 2018

I am in the Canadian Armed Forces, and moved to Belleville in 2014. I was referred to Lorraine by two of my colleagues. I contacted her to see if she could be my realtor® during my HHT (House Hunting Trip).
I like the way Lorraine approached doing business. I then committed to using her as my realtor®. She was amazing. When I was in town for the week viewing homes and working on the purchase, she also had three other military families doing their HHTs.
It was amazing that she was that busy the week I was there and yet I still felt I was getting personal service and she was nothing less than fully committed to my purchase. She went well above what I believe is required for a realtor® and I really felt that personal touch. Her staff were more than open to my questions and helped at every turn to ensure I was set up for success, during the week of my HHT and again when I move in.

Thanks so much!
