"Kari was an absolute angel to deal with. She never made us feel like our budget was too small, and she answered every question we had even when we asked the same question over and over again! She was a joy from the day I told her we were looking until the day we signed our papers. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to buy their first or their fifth home."

It was an incredible experience purchasing my new property in Nova Scotia with Kari MacLeod as my real estate agent. Kari took the time to understand my needs and to provide me with relevant potential properties. She was always prompt in responding to my inquiries and was meticulous in ensuring every detail was properly evaluated. Buying remotely would typically be stressful, but not with Kari MacLeod! I could totally trust her process. Kari is an extraordinary agent (and person). She is polished and professional and made the property search and final purchase seamless, easy and fun! Kari truly goes above and beyond for her clients and I can't wait to work with her again! I would give her a 10 star rating!

I highly recommend Kari."
