Together, we’ll navigate the intricacies of real estate in Halifax, ensuring a smooth transition and a place to call home.
A Grateful Perspective
Canada, and particularly Halifax, has welcomed me with open arms. The warmth of its people and the opportunities this province has provided have been nothing short of remarkable. Halifax isn’t just a city to me; it’s a place that has given me the chance to be where I am today. Now, with a heart full of gratitude, I am committed to giving back to this beautiful community that has embraced me. Through my expertise in real estate, I aim to serve and contribute to the well-being of the community that has become my second home.

I was absolutely amazed at the professional service you provided from the start! From the first Zoom call to the purchase of my new home was exceptional.

Working with Philip has been a pleasure. He is knowledgeable, understanding and patient. Purchasing a house when living in another province can be very stressful, but he helped us through each step, from search to purchase to home inspection to taking possession. Super patient when we changed mid stream to a different type of house we wanted and immediately started a new search for us. He helped find the perfect house that met exactly what we wanted and needed. I would highly recommend Philip to help anyone with their house search and purchase.

Phil has been great to work with as previously stated. As a first time home buyer the process is a little daunting even though I have great support. Add to that buying out of province it can get a little more confusing. Phil is great at answering all questions and sends links for me to look at myself. Further to that when I send a home I think is interesting he sends all pertinent information, different types of things to check for, red flags on the listing, info on heritage homes etc. he allows me to come to my own conclusions about the property. On the odd occasion he has said a property looks good but doesn’t try to influence me either way. That being said when I reject one and give my reasons he will agree with me. I appreciate the fact that I am getting enough information to make good decisions. I have complete faith in him. If he were to say this was is no good I would be fine, however good or bad he sends the info. Finally my sister asked me to ask him to set us up with an agent out of town so he wouldn’t have to travel 2 hours. His response was if you are flying from Ontario the least I can do is drive you. Sadly the realtors in Ontario are not as flexible. I realize that I don’t have the biggest budget, but Phil is treating me like I have a million. I am extremely happy and confident working with him and am looking forward to meeting him on the 29th. If this is how all the people are in Nova Scotia I can’t wait to move!

Best team to work with. Made the whole process simple and stress free. As a first time home buyer I was clueless where to start. Philip went over and beyond to get my family and I the perfect home. Philip was extreamly quick to respond to any and all the questions we had. As the market right now is competitive I was a little worried. If it were not for Philip being on the ball we would have never got a home. Thanks again Philip. There’s no question in my mind of who I’m going to get to work with next time we are looking to sell and buy. I can’t recommend this team enough. If you want your dream home you need them on your side.
