After 22 years in the real estate industry on Nova Scotia's South Shore, I decided it was time to do things a little differently.
I opened my own brokerage, Reid Real Estate, with one goal in mind: to provide homeowners with professional, personalized real estate services at more affordable rates.
I've always believed that selling your home shouldn't cost more than it needs to, and that homeowners deserve to keep as much of their hard-earned equity as possible.
One Person. Many Hats. Lower Overhead. Better Rates.
One of the biggest differences with Reid Real Estate is that when you hire me, you're dealing directly with the person who owns and operates the business.
I'm not only the Broker/Owner. I'm also the REALTOR®, photographer, administrator, marketing coordinator, sign installer, and the person handling the day-to-day operations.
From listing your property and taking the photographs to preparing the marketing, installing the signs, arranging showings and negotiating the sale, I'm personally involved throughout the process.
I wear a lot of hats, and that's exactly how I want to run my business.
By keeping my operation small and efficient, I don't have the same overhead expenses as many larger real estate companies. No large office staff, unnecessary layers of management or expensive corporate structure.
Those savings allow me to offer flexible commission options and more competitive rates without sacrificing professional service.
My philosophy is simple:
Lower overhead. Lower commissions. Personal service. More money in your pocket.
Introducing REID READY – More Than Just Real Estate
Over my 22 years in real estate, I've walked through countless homes and seen firsthand how even small repairs and improvements can make a big difference when preparing a property for sale.
I've also seen homeowners struggle with the expense and hassle of getting those improvements completed.
That's why, for the first time, I'm expanding my services to include Reid Renovations and my REID READY home improvement program.
What makes this service different is that I'm not simply recommending contractors or arranging for someone else to do the work.
I'm also the person who can roll up my sleeves and personally complete many of those renovations and improvements.
Whether it's painting, flooring, tiling, carpentry, bathroom updates or general repairs, I can help homeowners prepare their properties for the market.
My goal is to make the process easier, more convenient and more affordable by offering real estate and renovation services together.
Reid Renovations – Quality Work, Personally Done
Renovations and woodworking have always been interests of mine, and I've spent years developing my hands-on skills.
Now, for the first time, I'm offering those services to the public through Reid Renovations.
My services include:
Bathroom renovations
Tiling and flooring
Carpentry and woodworking
General home repairs
Painting and wallpaper
Pre-sale home improvements
Custom woodworking projects
Furniture repairs and restoration
I also have my own woodworking shop, where I can take on custom projects, build unique pieces and restore older furniture.
I enjoy taking something worn, outdated or in need of attention and giving it a new purpose.
And these services aren't just for people selling their homes. Whether you're planning to sell, improving the home you already own or looking for custom woodworking, I'd be happy to discuss your project.
A Small Business With a Personal Approach
I'm proud to be a small, locally owned business on Nova Scotia's South Shore.
I'm not trying to build the biggest real estate company or renovation business. I'm trying to build a business that offers real value, fair pricing, quality workmanship and personal service.
After 22 years in real estate, I'm excited to bring together my experience in selling homes with my passion for renovations, carpentry and woodworking.
Whether I'm putting up your FOR SALE sign, negotiating an offer, installing new flooring or restoring an old piece of furniture, you'll know who's doing the work.
When you hire Reid, you get Reid.
And that's the way I believe business should be done.
