Welcome to Nelson BC and the surrounding area. We are Kevin Arcuri and Layla Precious, a husband and wife real estate team that have been helping people in the Kootenay Lake area to buy and sell homes for the past 19 years. Kevin’s family has been in the Real Estate business for over 40 years so real estate has always been a part of his life. We both grew up here—Kevin as a third-generation Nelson local—and have a deep understanding of the area and its rich history. Our lifelong connection to the Kootenays gives us a genuine appreciation for what makes this region so special and a true understanding of why so many people are drawn to call it home. With its vibrant community and rich mountain culture, we can’t imagine a better place to call home. We have been together for 32 years and have two children, Sofia 25 and Oliver 22. Unlike other brokerage teams that may simply share office expenses, we are married in business and in life, working with every client together. The result is an efficient team and a dramatically improved service that is not only smooth and efficient but maximizes value. We have bought and sold two homes of our own, subdivided and serviced our own property, and built a house for ourselves. We pride ourselves on providing quality customer service and find that a lot of our business comes from word of mouth. We have been involved in over 900 transactions to date and are consistently top producers in Nelson and the surrounding area. In late 2018 we became partners of our local Real Estate Brokerage with offices in Nelson, Kaslo and Nakusp. We believe strongly in the idea of helping people. Selling and/or buying a home is a huge, and often emotional undertaking. When we work with clients, we view it as the beginning of a lasting relationship rather than a single transaction. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible people—many of whom have become very dear to us. We invite you to reach out with any questions and to explore our Testimonials to hear from those we’ve had the pleasure of working with.

I hired Layla and Kevin to sell our Harrop property this past spring. I thoroughly enjoyed working with both of them! They were professional, attentive to my needs, knowledgeable of the local market, great communicators and experienced. At the same time, they were down to earth and friendly which made it very pleasant and easy to interface with them. I felt they were very supportive of me during the whole selling process. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a great realtor team!!

We have had the pleasure of working with Kevin and Layla twice. Four years ago they sold a family members home and recently they helped us purchase our first home. Both experiences were great. Kevin and Layla are professional, knowledgeable, and well connected which made a huge difference.
Their communication and knowledge of all the specific areas and the unique community characteristics really standout. Also, their guidance during the purchasing process was invaluable.

My husband and I have engaged Arcuri-Precious, Kevin Arcuri and Layla Precious, both as buyers in two transactions, and sellers in one.

I can’t thank you enough for making this experience easy & think highly of you!

Layla was incredibly helpful in finding our new home. We had limited time to see houses and she was available and on it so that we could fit what we wanted to see in our timeline. She was diligent in making sure we knew about the areas and how that would affect how we wanted to live in our space....quiet and peaceful! We highly recommend her.

Layla and Kevin were wonderful to work with when selling my home. Their many years of experience and deep understanding of the market were invaluable. They were always incredibly responsive and easy to chat with. I was happy with the whole process - the listing price, photos including drone shots, and description and listing itself. Their thoughts and negotiation skills were great and I felt I could rely on their expertise at all times. It was a smooth and quick process an I was able to close a deal in the timeline I had hoped for. They are friendly and professional and I highly recommend them to anyone selling or purchasing a house in the Kootenays. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Would Highly recommend both Layla and Kevin. We found a house that we were really keen on in November which we didn’t think would be the ideal time of year to sell our house.. Layla and Kevin made it happen quickly. We had a lot of interest right away and were able to sell well over asking with in 60 hours of being listed. They worked with us every step of the way and were an absolute pleasure to deal with.

I recently sold my rental property with the help of Kevin and Layla. I was incredibly happy with their attention to detail throughout the process, and their ability to work seemlessly with all those involved in the sale. My property was tenanted, and for a period of time, my renter hadn't secured another place to live. This caused a lot of stress to the renter, and Kevin and Layla were very compassionate and helpful to my tenant during this time. After the deal had gone through, and they had already been paid, the Arcuri's offered to help with with some of the cleanup that my renter had left behind. Who does that? If you are looking to buy or sell a property in the area, I HIGHLY recommended working with the Arcuri's. They are experts at what they do, and help to take out some of the stress of home sales/purchasing.
100% recommended. If you have questions about working with the Arcuri's, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you Kevin and Layla!

We highly recommend Layla and Kevin. We interviewed a few real estate agents and from the start felt a rapport with this team. Layla and Kevin are very knowledgeable, professional, quick to grasp issues. They are quick to respond and we felt we were given undivided attention and the best effort in the sale of our property. From hiring a professional photographer and making 3D models and drone videos of our property, to hosting an open house and promoting it on social media we felt that Layla and Kevin did their best for us. They are easy to talk to and understand the emotions accompanying the sale of your home. Selling your home can be a stressful time, it helps if you are working with people you like and trust. Above and beyond, after the sale, they helped us to find a replacement rental for our tenants and continued to assist in the transition after the sale. Thank you so much!

Kevin and Layla were really great to work with. They listened and supported us through a sale and purchase. They made the process enjoyable for us, as they were really patient and took the time to explain/help us understand the process. They also always respected our goals and never put their personal opinion influence our decision. I would highly recommend these two, you'll be in great hands and well taken care of. Thank you so much for helping us sell our first home and land our dream home.

Kevin and Layla have been amazing with the sale of my house. They did a great job of taking exceptional photos of my house and property and even used a drone to take aerial shots. I haven't sold a house in a long time and they explained every little detail to me. When showing places to me for purchase, they took the time to really go through the place with me and look for areas of concern. They were available whenever I needed them, including weekends and evenings. Kevin and Layla work as a perfect team for all your buying or selling needs and I highly recommend them!
