When working with Brehannah Hopgood of Homes by Bre, buying and selling properties becomes smooth and stress-free! That’s because of her personalised service, and we’ve seen how she does it.

She’s a realtor in Halifax who knows what she’s doing. The negotiation strategy we’ve seen is incredible—she has deep knowledge of the local market and she listens to her clients.

We appreciate her comprehensive services for buyers and sellers. Sellers get a pre-staging consultation, staging, and a home cleaning service, all for free!

Plus, we love a realtor who knows what her clients want. From our observations, she doesn’t use any pushy sales tactics just to get someone to purchase a home.

She specialises in various properties, like waterfront homes and condos, for different budgets. Some have virtual tours (a considerate feature), although not all do.

Her best qualities are her communication skills, efficiency, and friendliness. Some clients also noted her incredible negotiation skills, which is an essential trait in a realtor!

Friendly and easy to work with

“I found Brehannah through her exceptional online presence. She was very friendly and easy to work with. She made the sale of my house as worry free as possible. I had such a nice time working with her that I recommended her to a family member who was buying and they just got an accepted offer! Will continue to recommend!”

Excellent negotiator

“We recently used Brehannah on a real estate purchase. We are very happy we chose her. She has a great knowledge base, an excellent negotiator and a very personable person to interact with. Brehannah’s communication skills and professionalism with the other agent were pivotal in completing our transaction. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

Thank you”

The Pike Group, headed by Sandra Pike, is not your usual realtor. Buying and selling a home is not just a transaction for these folks—and yes, they have the track record to prove it.

Let’s start with their listings, which vary way more than we initially thought. They handle residential and the occasional commercial places, but they mainly assist with luxury properties.

Although there aren’t a lot of budget-friendly listings, we think it’s fine. From what we’ve seen, when you’re buying with them, their realtors will show you exactly the houses you’ll like.

We also appreciate that they were always on top of things, showing how organised they are. Unfortunately, their team leader doesn’t usually handle buyers, so she’ll likely entrust you with her team, but it’s fine because they’re still professional.

Finally, we appreciate their meticulous process. Their realtors know how to handle tough negotiation cases, which is awesome for your budget!

Top-notch professional team

“I’ve known Sandra and her team for several years. They are a top-notch professional team. They’ve demonstrated strong negotiation skills with meticulous attention to detail. This service is always delivered with a personal touch. I’d recommend Sandra and her team to anyone looking to buy/sell a home.”

Fabulous help, support, and guide

“Sandra has been a fabulous help, support and guide thru our largest life sale. Selling a home seemed so simple, prices were high and the market hot, but wow without Sandra we might have made so many mistakes. She was a great help for a successful sale.”

One of our picks is Peter Brouwer because of his over 25 years of experience as a realtor in Nova Scotia. His track record includes assisting over 1,500 clients over the years!

The types of properties he handles aren’t extensive, as he mainly lists single-family homes in Halifax. Then again, there’s a decent variety of homes per budget, especially if you’re looking for affordable options.

One of our favourite things is his immersive home video tours. These give you a better look at the properties, even if you live far away.

Plus, we appreciate his use of traditional and digital marketing to reach a wider audience. That includes mailout postcards!

His exclusive listing strategy for sellers is worth noting. It’ll give you full services to better market your property, like professional photography and strategic pricing.

The flexible online and in-person consultations are convenient, too! Just don’t expect Sunday and Monday appointments.

Responsive and flexible

“My wife and I have used Peter and his team since moving to Halifax a little over 4 years ago, and we highly recommend them. They have always been very responsive as well as flexible to our schedule, and understand our wants and needs. We feel it is important to have someone representing us and being honest when viewing properties, and Peter and Dave are always open and upfront with any concerns that may be there.”

Appreciated their honesty and willingness to guide us

“Dave and his team were awesome and helped us through the purchase of our first house, which we love! The team also helped us weed out some houses that wouldn’t have been a good fit. I always appreciated their honesty, flexibility, and willingness to help guide us through the process and ultimately get us into the right home for our family. Would definitely recommend this team if you are considering buying in HRM, they are they best!”

Susan Eldridge has proven herself in the Halifax real estate scene. She has over two decades of experience and has handled a lot of different properties for every need.

What’s impressive is her honesty, which is a common compliment she has received from her clients. During our short interaction, we found that she showed genuine care.

Part of her services includes access to a wide range of networks, such as real estate lawyers and contractors. It’s awesome how helpful she is with her clients!

Additionally, her communication skills have been spot on! We appreciate that she’s always available, even on weekends, showing her accommodating nature.

As for her listings, we love that you get lots of options, except there are limited luxury homes. It’s fine, really, since there’s a decent variety of selection for small and large families.

We had no problems with her customer service, either. She was very professional yet friendly and responsive but not pushy.

Managed to find the perfect home for us

“Susan was simply incredible. She managed to find the perfect home for us, way above what we expected in terms of quality and location, in 6 days and under budget in this market. It has to be a record of some kind! But the best part is that Susan also has great personal qualities, which made working with her a pleasure. Now we are spoiled, we won’t be able to work with anyone else!”

Professional throughout the entire process

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Susan Eldridge as our buying realtor, and we couldn’t be happier with the exceptional experience. She was professional throughout the entire process, making the experience smooth and successful. I was impressed with her communication throughout. She was always available to answer our questions, address our concerns and kept us updated on the progress. She was prompt with responses and always made us feel like a priority. I must mention she had a deep understanding of the market and was able to provide valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions. I will recommend her to my friends and family!”

One of our trusted realtors in Halifax is Margaret Craig because of her expertise. She knows the ins and outs of the local real estate market, being a lifetime resident, which is a massive advantage in this competitive industry.

She’s part of Engel & Völkers, which specialises in luxury real estate—but bad news for those looking for affordable listings. The advantage you get is an effective marketing strategy, like market analysis, that will give your property an edge.

She also handles various properties, like waterfront homes and land. Plus, she also assists clients looking to buy or sell in the surrounding communities of Halifax.

We also appreciate that she puts her best foot forward. We gathered during our surveys that she was dedicated, had her clients’ best interests in mind, and actually delivered results.

Furthermore, we liked her patience and strong negotiation skills. It was cool to see how well she connected with her clients, even during high-stakes moments.

Outstanding dedication and attention to detail

“Margaret’s, dedication and attention to detail was outstanding. Knowing we we were working my on a short timeline she was more than prepared having viewings scheduled and doing research on the properties to highlight areas of concerns. Her work led us to purchasing the perfect home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to relocate in HRM.”

Made the process seamless

“Margaret has guided us through the selling process, answering our questions, giving us a good understanding of the real estate market. Margaret always made herself available to show us the next step in the process from a casual conversation of we think we would like to sell, options, listing, open houses, comparisons and what they mean, offers and then finally selling and what to do to prepare for closing date. It has been a journey and Margaret and her team have made it seamless.”
