Buying a property in Nova Scotia
The Real Estate market in Nova Scotia differs from the UK in a few vital areas, including that a Realtor (Real Estate Agent) is highly qualified and undergoes constant training, also that they can show you ANY property on the open market. It is fairly normal for the purchasing process to only take 3-4 weeks. All Real Estate fees are paid for by the VENDOR. Non residents can also own property; if this is of interest, you also have the option of renting to our clientele using our website.
Most listed properties can be viewed on www.mls.ca.
Why use our recommended agents?
Realtors we recommend are not only experienced and professional, they also, due to their knowledge of the relocation marketplace, bring a extra dimension to the service you receive. Perhaps you wish to look at different areas and houses during a scouting trip? Our recommended Realtors can explain the intricacies of the marketplace and show you a selection of homes and areas. As a bonus, if you decide to buy property through one of our recommended Agents, we present you with our store discount card.
We're interested in buying a home in Nova Scotia, where do I start?
Once registered for our free service, our recommended Realtor will then send relevant information to you and can answer any of your detailed questions via email and phone. Prior to coming over to Nova Scotia, a meeting and preliminary itinerary can also be arranged.
When it's time to Buy
Many families who emigrate to Nova Scotia may look to buy either prior to moving or soon after landing. Once you have seen a house you wish to offer on, your Realtor will present a written offer to the seller. The seller can accept, reject or counter offer. Once accepted, subject to your conditions such as selling your home, water tests, inspections, finance etc, the property is yours upon completion.
What else do I Pay for?
This can vary dependent on area and price of your new home. Generally a DEED TRANSFER TAX is applicable of 1.5% of the value of the property. Lawyer and inspection fees will be chargeable (usually around $1000-1500). You may also have to pay for any property taxes (and oil) which have been paid for by the seller for periods exceeding the closing date.

Hello, my name is Rob Brown, I am originally from Newfoundland and have lived in Nova Scotia for 14 years. As an experienced and professional Real Estate agent, I will bring to you the dedication and excellence of Remax Nova to ensure that you find a home that perfectly fits both your requirements and your dreams.
Although my expertise lies in the Nova Scotia real estate market, I have travelled extensively throughout Europe and especially the UK and understand the stresses and strains of relocating from Britain. From all areas of the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) and beyond I'm here to help you find the home that fits you and your family perfectly. My goal is to make sure you're armed with the necessary information to help you make the transition from your home in the UK to your new one here in our beautiful part of Canada. I'll help provide as much information before you land from websites, brochures, and other items so that you can immediately get a feel for your new home.
When you arrive together we'll visit the many homes or one home you've either identified to me or I've tailor made to fit your specific needs.
Call or email me and we can start the process of the home search and of course getting to know one another in order that we find the home that meets your specific expectations.

Prior to launching my career as a Realtor, I spent 23 years in the Telecommunication Industry. It was during this time that I learned that providing sound solutions to clients was the first step in building long term relationships. Service does not stop when the sale is made as this is just the first step of a detailed process. I am proud to live in Bridgewater and look forward to welcoming you and your family to our area.
The South Shore of Nova Scotia has become a prime destination for tourists and people wanting a simpler way of life but still maintain the high level of services and amenities. The commercial hub of the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Bridgewater offers outstanding shopping opportunities. Despite its concentration on retail and commercial services, Bridgewater also offers wonderful recreational amenities including a championship golf course, curling club, arena, beautiful beaches only minutes away, playing fields, and a trail system that spans the entire Town. In addition, we have several beautiful parks for those who enjoy more leisurely recreational pursuits.
Bridgewater offers an excellent quality of life with a first-rate regional hospital, quality schools, and a low crime rate.
