Transferred to Ottawa

Buying a home at the best of times can be stressful and challenging. Having to do it all in a matter of a few days in an unfamiliar city is what faces our armed forces members.

Having the right real estate professional guide you through the process will be imperative to your success. I have been privileged to work with dozens’ of transferring members. Our success is always due to the work that we do ahead of time. Planning the week is as important as the search. Before my clients arrive we have already discussed the market, neighbourhoods, and particular houses of interest.

I have been fortunate to live Downtown, East End, West End, and in the suburbs. Between living in these areas and showing houses all over the city since 2004, I have gained invaluable knowledge of neighbourhoods. I know how important this week is in the future happiness of my clients. A poor neighbourhood choice can have consequences. I am proud of the reputation I have earned with my military clients. I am happy to provide multiple references to anyone who has been transferred to the city and is looking for an agent.

Military Moves

Spring is almost here!  The weather is getting a bit warmer, days are a little longer,  and the real estate market is picking up steam.  This is in large part due to the many military personnel who transfer into and out of Ottawa this time of year.

I am so lucky to have the pleasure of working with so many great military clients.  Helping military families get settled in Ottawa is one of the best parts of my job.  In many cases they are being transferred to a city they only know on a map. To be able to come in to town and 5-7 days later leave with a house is impressive.  Then only a few years later do it all over again.  It is really quite amazing what these guys do and the sacrifices they make for us. Not only on the work side of things but with their personal lives and families too. It really gives me a new appreciation and admiration for everything they do.  That is why I really do everything I possibly can to make the transition to Ottawa as easy and smooth as possible.  It is truly a privilege to help!
