Outstanding service, polite, respectful, professional, and very knowledgeable. Chris Perkins hands-down is the best real estate agent we have dealt with. Within one day he knew exactly our wants and needs and made our dream house appear. Highly recommend!!

I heard about Chris and Joelle Perkins two years ago from a co-worker who had utilized their services in the sale and purchase of their home. In listening to her, I knew that when the time came I would call them first.

From the moment I met them, I knew that I found Realtors I could work with. They completed a very thorough market evaluation, recommended a fair listing price in order for my property to be competitive and provided invaluable feedback. They do not resort to the traditional sale tactics sometimes seen in Real Estate. They are genuinely honest and I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical at first. I quickly learnt that they were for ‘real’. They are firm believers in communication and not once did I ever have to chase them down. They are prompt and efficient and when they said they would call or meet me, they did and were on time. How they manage this is unknown considering the number of people they deals with at any given time.

As a newcomer to Nova Scotia and being my first time buying real estate in Canada, I didn't quite know what I was getting into. Then I stumbled upon the HaliPad website... Truth be told, I saw it on the back of a bus. To make a long story short, I am so glad I did. Chris was, by far, the most professional and outgoing agent I have ever dealt with, in any country. He made the process as painless as possible, and was full of great recommendations and insight into the property market here in Halifax. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Buying a new home is an exciting and emotional experience. Working with Chris and Joelle made our home buying journey a pleasure. We had very specific criteria that we were looking for in a new home. They took the necessary time to get to know us and our needs then provided us with just the right amount of encouragement and professionalism. He worked endlessly to make sure we felt 100% confident that we had found the home of our dreams. Since buying our home, we have recommended Chris and Joelle to both friends and family, all of whom were also impressed with their commitment. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

My wife and I were struggling to sell our home. I convinced my wife to call Chris Perkins, I had heard his radio ads and had seen him on our transit buses. Chris came in, gave us the tools we needed. There is a SOLD sign on our lawn today. If you want a Realtor, there's Google. If you need Results, Chris Perkins, it is that simple.

From our very first meeting at an open house, Chris and Joelle impressed us with their enthusiasm, knowledge, and willingness to do whatever it took to find the perfect house. They took the time to understand our needs, including those we did not even know we had. We were always kept updated on all homes available in the market that satisfied our needs, and when viewing homes. They always ensured to show us some we had not considered ourselves. In the end, it was in one of these suggestions that our home was found. The referrals Chris and Joelle provided for a mortgage broker and house inspector ensured the entire home buying process was straight-forward, everyone remained updated on what was happening, and made for an all-around great experience. As first-time homebuyers, they were able to answer all of our questions, and ensured we were informed about all the pros and cons of the area and the current market. They were always easy to contact, and quick to respond if we did have to leave a message. Our entire experience with Chris and Joelle has been enjoyable, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

As first time home buyers we had no knowledge about real estate at all. We decided to go with Chris and Joelle as recommended by my close friend. I am so glad that we did. They really made the experience very simple and gave us excellent information on all the listings. They not only helped us to find the perfect home for us but also provide us information about Lawyers, Home Inspectors. They are also super responsive to e-mails and phone calls. Chris and Joelle are awesome in their work , very knowledgeable & kind and have flexible working hours. All in all we had an awesome experience with them. We highly recommend Chris and Joelle to everyone.

My Wife and I just recently sold our home. We hired the Chris and Joelle as our listing agents and we were extremely happy with their service. In our situation, not only did we have a expectation of the price we wanted to attain, but we also had a tight time line that they had to work with. They went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure our home sold. They used all the newest technologies and methods to get our property out on the market. Not to mention doing a number of open houses, the use of radio spots and advertising in a home magazine. As things progressed through the different processes such as second viewings, offers, conditions etc... It was truly due to their extra effort and experience, that we weeded out the right buyer and closed the sale before our drop dead date. I would personally recommend Chris and Joelle to anyone, as our experience was awesome.

I would highly recommend Chris Perkins. Chris is a very knowledgeable and understanding real estate broker who I found, patiently and calmly went above and beyond to ensure my needs and wants were met. When I moved to Halifax I had no idea what to expect when buying a house out here. I did not know what the differences would be between a downtown or rural property, what features to look for in a property and what a reasonable price to pay would be. Chris has a significant amount of experience in the Canadian property market and also helping those moving from abroad (particularly the UK). He talked me through the options and intricacies but also showed me homes I liked (and some we knew I would not like) to ensure I fully understood and was happy with what I was finally committing to. The house he finally presented to me definitely gave me the “wow factor”!

My husband and I decided to use Chris and Joelle when we sold our first home, we couldn't have been happier with the way it turned out. They were very helpful, caring and listened to everything we had to say. They also managed to sell our house in two days! Great realtors and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Both my wife and I found Chris and Joelle to be outstanding real estate agents-from the listing of our home to the closing. Their initial presentation was professional and thorough. The initial proposal to us included comparisons to houses that were similar to ours. This was difficult to do as our house was quite unique but they found houses that were comparable! I cannot imagine the number of phone calls they received and made in the selling of our house! They were excellent about providing feedback after showings and this was greatly appreciated. They handled professionally, efficiently and with integrity offers where they were the agent for the seller and the buyer, as that is a delicate position for realtors. Bryant Realty is fortunate to have such a dedicated team working in their firm.

Chris Perkins is a rock star! Got to know Chris as we started our search for a property in the Halifax area. We had a general idea of what we wanted but nothing firm. Chris was very patient as we looked at numerous homes until we finally found "the one". We found Chris to be very knowledgeable, patient and would highly recommend him to anyone in search of their dream.

We recently sold our home and bought a new house all through Chris and Joelle. I have to say that when we decided to put our home in the market the demand for homes was very low and we were kind of nervous as we had seen some instances where houses had been in the market for several weeks, few months in some cases. Despite of the slow market situation, they sold our home in a whooping 2 and a half weeks time! We were absolutely amazed with how quick he was able to close the deal! During the whole process they were always reachable at all times and kept us in the loop of what was happening, I can honestly say that we rested assured knowing that they were always looking after our best interest. On the other hand, when we had to buy a home they made sure to listen to our requirements and presented us with several options that would suit our needs, so we had plenty of houses to choose from. Chris and Joelle were always diligent and patient with my hectic schedule and always found the way to make things work. He was also patient with my attention to detail and made sure everything was done up to our expectations. I can't say enough good things about Chris and Joelle except that they has made us VERY happy and would widely recommend them to everybody! Thanks again!

I have worked with Chris to buy and sell several properties and he is hands down the best. He knows the business and his customer service is unlike any other. I highly recommend Chris and the team if you are looking to invest or sell property!

Chris has been great!

Our last real estate agent actually quit on us leaving us in a horrible position and Chris came to the rescue. He was very professional and always willing to answer questions. It never ever felt like we were bugging him.
He was also very truthful which we loved. He always gave it to us straight and we followed his directions and that lead to a fast sale during a slow period. I can’t recommend him enough.

We had such a great experience with Chris and Joelle! They were recommended by a close friend and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a realtor! In such a tough market, we needed someone with expertise and confidence, which they certainly have lots of! They always made us feel like they were totally in control and their negotiating skills are top notch! Selling a house is so stressful, but with them in the drivers seat, you'll definitely be in great hands! Thank you so much for all your hard work for us!!

Chris was very enthusiastic and patient in helping me find my new home! I contacted Chris via MLS to request a viewing of one of his listed homes. After our first viewing, Chris was very interested in finding out about what I wanted in a home and helped me identify what features were most important to me. Chris worked endlessly looking for homes that met my criteria. After many viewings and hard work from Chris, I found my new home! Chris was very professional during this experience and went above and beyond what was expected of him. Chris also helped sell my current home after being listed with privately and being unsuccessful! Chris kept me up to date on feedback from clients and offered suggestions for showing my home. It was sold in less than a month during an open house! I would highly recommend Chris to anyone in the real estate market!

Absolutely fantastic to deal with. Chris Perkins represented us in purchasing our first home. He was virtually instantaneous in all communications, whether they be by e-mail, text, or phone. HaliPad made all paperwork extremely easy by facilitating e-signatures. Chris listened to every fear, hope, and question we could throw at him, and was professional and compassionate in his replies. We used the people he suggested when it came to inspecting our future home, and I highly recommend you do the same. Chris helped us find our first home where we will raise our children, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

Chris left us to ooh and aaah while he took care of everything else!!! Chris showed us houses as we described to him that we liked, and once we found our “dream home”, he took care of all of the details so all we had to do was show up, sign and move!

Thanks Chris, for helping us find our forever home and making it such a seamless transaction without it feeling transactional!

Chris and Joelle exceeded my expectations in every way throughout all processes  during the sale of my home. They completed a very thorough market evaluation and recommendation for listing price in order for the property to be competitive in a buyer's market. Their dedication and follow up during the showing phase was unmatched and the tenacity during the negotiation and closing phases allowed me to achieve the goals I had indicated to them in the beginning. I highly recommend Chris and Joelle to all my friends for their real estate needs.

When we decided to sell our 3000 sq ft family home, we wanted a realtor with integrity, acumen, and attention to detail. Chris Perkins was recommended to us, and he brought all three. From our first meeting to the final closing, Chris was prepared, professional, and committed to our needs and the sale. Chris brought information and expertise to every decision point, so that we felt equipped, empowered, and confident. He consulted and involved us, but deftly guided the process, which we really needed him to do. He made the effort to learn the beauty, history and potential of our particular house. It showed in his marketing, which had a bit of love and character mixed in with the polish. Photography, video, print, website, social media, and personal replies to inquiries were so well done, that by list date there was considerable interest and offers quickly following. Our house sold in under a week, at over-asking price.

Chris knows what he is doing, and certainly met our needs. But here is the extra, the icing on the cake, that is Chris Perkins: he is a pleasure to work with. He is calm and capable, professional and polite, attentive and on-time, friendly and frequently funny. It was a pleasure to work with Chris, and our neighbours and on-site tradespeople said the same. That matters too. We whole-heartedly and unreservedly recommend Chris Perkins.

Chris and Joelle did an exceptional job in selling our home and finding us the perfect new home, especially in such a competitive market. Their communication skills were excellent, they always took the time to keep in touch and provided excellent advice to us. They made us feel like we were their only clients, even though they had many more! We sincerely appreciated their patience, honesty, professionalism and knowledge of the market. Thanks Chris, we will definitely be calling your group when it is time to sell again.
