REALTORS® do much more than buying and selling homes

REALTORS® work with home buyers every day to navigate through low inventory on the market.

REALTORS® understand how disappointing it can be when a buyer loses a bid on a home. Today’s market is different than it used to be. What used to take one or two offers to secure the winning bid on the home of your dreams, can now take multiple offers on different properties.

During this type of market, REALTORS® suggest:

• Going in with an open mind and looking at different communities in the vicinity of where you are hoping to live;

• Understanding that it may take five or more offers before you are successful in getting your dream home;

• Knowing that your REALTOR® has access to the largest and most comprehensive MLS® System in Nova Scotia, which also feeds into REALTOR.ca, giving you housing information at your fingertips;

• Letting your professional REALTOR® represent and guide you in this challenging market.

REALTORS® play an important role in their communities. Your REALTOR® is your local expert. From knowing the services and schools available, to supporting local charities and fundraisers, and lobbying for additional housing supply across all types and price ranges – REALTORS® do it all!

REALTORS®, noted with this trademark by their name, also abide by a strict code of ethics and belong to the Canadian Real Estate Association and locally, the Nova Scotia Association of REALTORS®. These ethics define the high standard of performance that you can expect from those designated as REALTORS®.

Real estate also has a very important impact on the provincial economy – contributing 1.8% of Nova Scotia’s GDP in 2021.
