What If I Bring a Buyer?

Transparency matters. If a buyer comes to me interested in your home, I won't try to represent both sides. When one agent works for the buyer and the seller, nobody gets a true champion — and your sale is too important for that.

Instead, I'll refer that buyer to a trusted, qualified agent so they get their own representation — and you keep a champion whose only job is protecting your interests and equity. That's what singular advocacy means.

Buyers get their own dedicated agent — no divided loyalties
Your interests remain my one and only priority

Common questions about selling around a posting

How does a military posting to 14 Wing Greenwood affect buying a home?

A posting to 14 Wing Greenwood puts you on the Integrated Relocation Program (IRP) clock, so your house hunting, offer dates and closing all have to line up with your posting message and HHT window. I build the timeline backwards from your reporting date so nothing gets rushed at the last minute.

What is a House Hunting Trip (HHT) and how long does it last?

A House Hunting Trip is the funded trip that lets a Canadian Armed Forces member and spouse travel to their new posting location to find a home. It's typically five days. I pre-screen homes, book showings back to back and have inspectors and lawyers on standby so you can leave with an accepted offer.

What does the IRP cover when a military family buys or sells a home?

The Integrated Relocation Program, administered through BGRS/SIRVA, reimburses many move-related costs — real estate commission, legal fees, home inspection, appraisal and interim living expenses — within your funding envelopes. Entitlements change, so I confirm what applies to your file before we spend a dollar.

Which neighbourhoods near 14 Wing Greenwood are best for military families?

Greenwood, Kingston and Middleton are the three most common choices, all within a short commute of the gate. Greenwood is closest and most convenient, Kingston gives you more house and yard for the money, and Middleton suits families who want a small-town main street. Aylesford and Berwick are good value a little further out.

When should I list my house if I'm posted out of Greenwood?

Start six to eight weeks before you want the sign up. That's enough time for my Mission Readiness Review: paperwork recon, repairs, staging, photos and a pricing strategy tied to your posting date. Listing in a hurry after the posting message lands is what costs military sellers real money.

Is BGRS the same as SIRVA?

Yes — they're the same relocation service. The Integrated Relocation Program (IRP) that military and RCMP members move under has long been known as BGRS, and it now operates as SIRVA, so you'll see it written BGRS/SIRVA. One file, one planning session, one set of entitlements.

How do I prepare for a House Hunting Trip to the Annapolis Valley?

Do everything that doesn't need your feet on the ground before you fly: written pre-approval with a rate hold, a shortlist you've already reviewed on video, deposit funds ready within 24 hours of acceptance, and an inspector and lawyer of your choice on standby. That's what turns five days into an accepted offer.

What do I need to test when buying a rural property near Greenwood?

Three things: well water flow and potability at an accredited lab, a septic evaluation by a qualified installer, and a WETT inspection on any wood or pellet appliance. Lab turnaround — not the seller — usually sets your condition date, so I book all three the day your offer is accepted.
