What Clients Say

★★★★★

“Doug was essential in helping me buy my home in Hubbards… He’s honest, direct, and never pushy, which I really appreciated… It was clear from the start that he cared more about finding the right property for me than just making a sale.”

Maryam Vahedi

Bought in Hubbards

★★★★★

“Finding and buying your dream home can seem like an immense challenge. Working with Doug smoothed out the bumps and made for some fun times on a long and winding road. Thanks Doug!”

Sean DeKelver

Bought in Mader’s Cove

★★★★★

“We’ve used Doug to purchase two homes and we were pleased each time. We didn’t feel rushed when looking and he was always eager to see homes with us. Doug has never tried to sugar coat a home for us and points out the good and the bad. We really appreciated having a Realtor that had our best interest in mind. We would easily recommend Doug to any friends or family.”

Stephanie Foley

Repeat buyer, two homes

★★★★★

“We have dealt with many realtors in our lifetime and Doug was by far the best experience we’ve had. He was always available, responsive, very patient and he listened! He found us the perfect spot that met our specific needs.”

Thinking of selling? The buyers are already looking.

Most of this site is written for buyers, and that’s the point. Every week I’m out introducing people to the South Shore, from Peggy’s Cove to Liverpool, helping them find a place to call home. So if you’re thinking of selling yours, you’ve already got someone in your corner who knows who’s looking and what they’ll pay for it.

When the time feels right, I’ll give you a number backed by what comparable homes here sold for, maybe not the one you’re hoping for, and I’ll walk you through the whole sale, from that first conversation to closing day. You’ll know what it’s worth and what it would take. What you do with that is yours to decide.
