I have been through this process a few times now. I have to say this has been by far the best person for the job. Valerie was professional, knowledgeable as well as patient and understanding. I found a home. From that moment till closing she was very transparent with the process. I knew I was in good hands. If you’re thinking of purchasing a home on the Island. This is the person for you!! Thank you so much for all you’ve done.

We just bought a place outside of Sydney, and wanted to give a shout out to our absolutely wonderful agent Sheila McKinnell. It's fair to say it was a bit of a journey, but Sheila got us through it, with aplomb. It wasn't just a case of going the extra mile, it was at least a half marathon. And this was for a place
costing comfortably less than 100,000, so you know, it wasn't because of the money. . .

She's just a great agent, down to earth, competent, resourceful, and helpful, with a depth of local knowledge that made all the difference between us getting the house and not. And a wicked sense of humour to boot.

Buying a house can be stressful. It is! It was! But at the end of it, I feel like we made a friend. If you're looking for a place on the island, I honestly cannot recommend Sheila highly enough.

We had an incredible experience with Sheila while hunting for our first home. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. With it being our first time buying a house, we had so many questions along the way, but Sheila kept us fully informed and was right in our corner throughout the entire process. We’re beyond happy with the service Sheila has provided for us, and we would recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor. She definitely knows her stuff!

We can’t thank her enough ❤️

Wow! Sheila made buying a house such a breeze! I was new to buying a home in Canada while in the USA, and have heard horror stories from friends and family about terrible agents. Sheila was professional and personal! She never made me feel uncomfortable and helped me every step of the way! She took phone calls and answered emails, tirelessly. We look forward to recommending her to other friends & family.

Corporate crooks looking to make the most for their own pockets by not letting owners know the offers... Iago's. Nothing but trying to get an equal pound of customer's fair flesh.. ...your agents and company made my mind up for me...I bought 25 acres..and building my own home. Should have known not to trust a " used car salesman" corporate smucks!

I planned to buy a vacation home in the CBRM. I contacted Sheila MacKinnon about one of her properties, but the property wasn't for us as it needed too much work. I offered her more money if she would actually check to see if there were homes available that were Non-Smoking homes. She only wanted to set up a Search email. She refused to say Hello or Hi in any email. Then she tells me that she is too busy! Imagine that, a Too Busy realtor in the CBRM. I asked if there was someone available who could help. SHe gives me her brokers number. I call the number but she gave me the wrong munber. I told her that I did not want to work with her and to not contact me. But she still needed the last word

Always in ready mode. Was so good to remove the stressors of selling an estate home during tough times!
