Re: NS Realtor
One of the finest communities in the Halifax area is Fall River, WHICH IS 30 MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN HALIFAX. (As you'll see in many of the comments). I suggest you go to yahoo.ca and search under fall river nova scotia real estate then interview 3 of the active estate agents in the area to ensure you find a positive match and will give you the time you need.

When you buy a car do you only go to one dealership? When you make a large purchase for your business or governmental agency do you only ask for 1 bid? One of my cardinal rules is to always interview 3 parties with respect to major purchases. This ensures objectivity and a quality competitive purchase.

Re: NS Realtor
Hello - Oh, yes, I'm waddling. 3 weeks to go, crossing my legs to last another week and a half at work. Luckily only one really hot day here last week, so that makes it easier to cope with.

Re: NS Realtor
Sorry to barge in, especially when I am short on time and likely short on anything useful to add........but add it I shall!
To whomever commented that because the Murphy's live yadda yadda in Fall River that this was some commendation for using them......there are at least another 2 realtors that I know of who live there too, but we dont hear them being mentioned in the same manner as these ones are often aluded to. I have heard as many disatisfied customers as I have heard from satisfied ones with this pair.
And who buys a plot of land without standing on it yourself first?
Blind luck isnt in it!
You need to go and look and look, we are in that process ourselves right now. We have looked at Fall River and many other areas, all 30 minutes out. You need someone who will go those extra yards for you and work on your behalf. Not sell you something either on their books, or pressure you into buying something that the locals wont buy..........shutting up now.

Re: NS Realtor
I agree, Jerry and Annette are a lovely couple but we also felt that we were being steered towards Fall River. I was talking to another realtor a few days ago and she said that they have built their business up through that area so it's no wonder that they are slightly bias. Once you are in the market to buy they will show other areas but if you are just on a reccie and want to get a feel of what you can buy then they are likely to just show you houses on their books.
Saying that though, I think that's the only negative thing about them and they are really good realtors, just make sure that you explore all areas before you come back and buy.

Anyway, if someone did want an alternative to the production line approach I would recomend Carla MacNeil from A&H GMAC ([email protected] tel: 902-830-9677). By coincidence Carla does live near Fall River but I know she covers the whole province and has helped people by in Parsboro, Eastern Shore etc as well as near Halifax. She's also a good friend of mine.

Carla went the extra mile for me anyway without a doubt.
