What You'll Find in the Guide

Moving to a new province involves more than finding the right house. This guide helps you understand some of the differences you may encounter when buying in Nova Scotia and what to expect throughout the process.

Choosing Where to Live

Explore Nova Scotia's different regions and some of the things to consider when deciding which community is right for you.

Buying from Out Of Province

Learn what to expect when planning your purchase from another province, including financing, house hunting and preparing for your move.

Wells, Septic and Rual Properties

Understand some of the additional considerations that come with rural properties, private wells and septic systems in Nova Scotia.

Heating & Older Homes

Learn about common heating systems, older homes and property features that may be different from what you are accustomed to.

Buying Costs & Property Taxes

Get an overview of expenses that can come with buying a Nova Scotia home, including closing costs and property-tax considerations.

Offers, Conditions & Closing

Understand what happens from making an offer through inspections, conditions, final preparations and closing day.

Moving to the Annapolis Valley?

The Annapolis Valley offers a mix of small towns, rural communities and larger centers, with everything from traditional neighbourhoods and historic homes to waterfront properties, acreages and country living.

For buyers moving from outside Nova Scotia, choosing the right community can be just as important as choosing the right home.  Communities such as Wolfville, Kentville, New Minas, Berwick, Greenwood, Middleton and Annapolis Royal each offer something a little different, while the surrounding rural areas provide even more options.

Having made the move from Ontario to Nova Scotia myself, I understand that many of the uestions start well before you begin looking at houses. I help relocating buyers understand the communities, properties and practical considerations that can affect where they ultimately choose to call home.

I've Made the Move Too

Moving to Nova Scotia is a big decision, and I understand it from personal experience.  I relocated here from Ontario with my family and went through many of the same decisions about where to live, what to expect and how life here would be different.

Today, I help buyers making that same move. Whether you're still deciding which part of Nova Scotia is right for you or you're ready to start looking at homes, I can help you understand the communities, properties and buying process so you can make informed decisions along the way.

Ready to Start Planning Your Move?

You don't have to have everything figured out before getting touch. Whether you're still comparing communities, planning a future move or ready to start looking at properties, I'm happy to answer questions and help you understand your options.
