Brehannah Hopgood Accepting New Clients

We are very pleased to give the highest recommendation for Brehannah Hopgood of Bryant Realty to anyone interested in selling or purchasing a home. In our situation we were both selling our home (which could best be characterized as a unique property, I.e., of most interest to a select group of buyers) and purchasing a new home. We have sold and purchased a number of homes over the years and have experiences with many realtors. And so, as we started the selling process in 2021, we knew it was a good practice to interview a number of realtors to better understand their approaches to meeting our needs. For example, under pandemic conditions and with rising interest rates and a limited housing inventory, we needed a top-rated realtor who clearly understood the shifting drivers and forces behind market demand and had the skills to navigate those realities to position our home for sale in a manner that best represented our interests. We also needed someone who could utilize all available marketing tools (e.g., traditional and social media combining still photography, videography, drone video coverage, 360 simulation) to market our home as widely as possible. It was also important to us to have a realtor that was responsive in a timely way to our requests for information and feed-back as well as provide constructive well-informed advice on possible directions we could take or ones that we should not take. Brehannah far exceeded our expectations in meeting all of those needs plus all of the unexpected / unanticipated issues that we could not foresee at the start of the process. In what can be a very stressful time for home sellers and buyers, her on-going communication with us was clear, direct, honest, patient and understanding. As a much appreciated bonus, she was also very helpful in navigating the interactions with lawyers and bankers in both the selling and purchasing processes. Once our home sold and we were in a position to purchase a new home she listened carefully and helped us best articulate the characteristics most important to us in a new home. We could not be more satisfied with the selling and buying process working with Brehannah and have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone interested in selling their home and/or buying a new home. - David and Wendy Gauthier

Brehannah was wonderful to work with. I can’t speak highly enough of Brehannah as our Relator. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work are very much appreciated. She is detail oriented, honest and very personable. From the first time we reached out to Brehannah she answered immediately and was always very responsive. She is a true professional. Would recommend Brehannah as a Relator. Bryan and Heather - Heather Main

We had a great experience with Brehannah as our realtor. We purchased a house in Dartmouth for our daughter who was moving from BC to go to SMU. Brehannah was honest, helpful and very easy to work with especially as she was showing us homes virtually. I highly recommend her to anyone purchasing or selling their home. 10/10 - Carene Booth

Brehannah was professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. As an out of province purchaser, it was invaluable to have someone that knew the "lay of the land". I would recommend her services if asked. - Nancy Popovich

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Brehannah to sell our home. Brehannah is very professional, responsive, knowledgable and was very much supportive of our needs as they related to selling our home. Brehannah was honest and transparent with us about the market, and was excellent at giving the advice we needed to ensure the successful sale of our property. We were no longer living in our home at the time of the sale and she was extremely helpful in taking care of everything in our absence. We would not hesitate to recommend Brehannah for any real estate transaction you have in the Halifax / HRM area. Call Brehannah - you wont be disappointed ! - Tracy Cosgrove

We first met Behannah shortly after arriving in Nova Scotia. We had moved here after buying a piece of land to build our dream home on and were crushed to learn that this was not going to be able to happen due to unforeseen circumstances. We knew we needed to sell the land and figure out what was next after leaving everything behind in another province to pursue this dream. We’d seen that Brehannah had listings in multiple areas from downtown Halifax to far outside the city and decided to call her. From that moment on she took care of us and guided in a way we truly needed because we felt so lost. She quickly created a beautiful marketing package for the land and found a buyer faster than we ever imagined. And from there we set out to find a new home – unsure of exactly what we were looking for, where it should be, and even how much we should spend. We were only certain that it needed to bring us the same level of excitement and sense of home as we had dreamed of with building our own place. Brehannah patiently and expertly navigated us through several months of looking, and the viewing of more than 25 homes, never giving up hope on our behalf even when we were ready to ourselves. She counseled, she advised, she encouraged, she spoke the hard truth when needed, and she even cried tears of joy along with us when we finally found our perfect place. We know there are many things Brehannah did behind the scenes and last-minute changes to our schedule that she made in order to get us into showings and to look at possibilities, and the phrase that she never wavered from was, “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” And neither would we! We can’t recommend Brehannah highly enough – whether you already live locally or you’re looking to move to the Greater Halifax Area from another city or province, call her! You’ll be in the best hands you can imagine. Thank you Brehannah for now helping us through two transactions over the past 9 months and for helping us to make our dream a reality! - Jeremy Jones-Juliá

Brehannah has made my first time home buying experience a fun one. She put in the hard work and it totally paid off. I only needed 1 viewing to know that this was the place for me and she made sure she did everything in her power to get this transaction to the finish line. As a first time home buyer I had so many questions and she explained so clearly and carefully that I was able to understand. If anyone is buying property you will be so happy to choose Brehannah as your agent! - Morgan

We would recommend her highly as an agent. - Marcos and Armgard ZENTILLI

Brehannah assisted us with the sale of our home and purchasing our next. She guided us through every step of the way through a challenging market. Her communication was consistently reliable and she had numerous recommendations from staging to home inspectors.

Brehannah was very responsive and offered great advice throughout the process. She made herself available anytime we needed with our tricky schedules. We would highly recommend Brehannah for buying or sellingz - Heath Lane

The most overwhelming part of preparing to sell our home was choosing a realtor because we were looking for a lot of boxes to be checked. We did a ton of research and interviewed several agents; however from the initial meeting we had with Brehannah we knew she was the one. She is confident, professional, knowledgeable and has a very calm demeanour which is so helpful in dealing with the emotions that come with selling a home. We would gladly recommend Bre and will most definitely use her services again in the future. - Amanda & John Grandy

As soon as we spoke with Brehannah about taking on the sale of our vacant lot she quickly had her photographer go out to the property and take both photos and a drone video that she used to put together a great marketing package. Brehannah really listened to understand our personal situation and the importance of selling our property after some surprising life changes and she ensured that it was advertised in multiple places both within and outside of Nova Scotia. She was able to quickly find an interested buyer and helped us to navigate a deal with a few different complexities, which led to a successful close that we are extremely thankful for. We’re now continuing to work with Brehannah on the search for a new home and we’re extremely happy with her knowledge, responsiveness, straightforward opinions and just overall care for our situation as her clients. We would highly recommend Brehannah to anyone looking to buy or sell in the HRM or surrounding areas! - Jeremy Jones

Brehannah was so wonderful to work with! She was always quick to respond, and helped us with all the details since we knew very little as first time buyers. - Alanna

Brehannah was an amazing agent that I would recommend to anyone selling a property.

Thank you Brehannah, your help was very much appreciated and it was a pleasure working with you!!! - Peter

Always answered questions in a timely manner when asked and provided viewer feedback which I appreciated. Was able to find a buyer in a relatively short period of time! - Brittany

Brehannah was my realtor through selling my first home and buying a new one, and she was just incredible. She did an excellent job advising us on what to do to get the house ready and when it came time for staging and photos, she made the house look it’s absolute best. We had an offer within a week and while many complications arose with selling my house, she handled it in stride and guided us through the transaction with an incredibly calm and professional attitude. She was very patient with us as we sifted through what seemed like endless listings looking for our new home, and understood that we were going to be picky. She was never pushy and while she was always quick to point out great features of a home we were viewing, she was just as quick to pick up on things you want to avoid. And when we settled on the right place, she was great with walking us through the nerve wracking process of putting in an offer on a house where we knew multiple offers would be made. Both properties closed and when it was all done I could tell Brehannah was genuinely happy for us and cared that we got what we wanted. I would, and will, recommend Brehannah to anyone looking for realtor services. - Christian Weagle

Brehannah is a personable, knowledgeable, and professional real estate agent. Having limited time with a young and busy family, she made the process of selling our rental home an enjoyable and easy experience. We would recommend Brehannah to others. - Krista Starrett

We chose Brehannah as our relator because of her many years of experience and her familiarity with the areas we were interested in as she also grew up nearby! She showed us 15+ houses and helped us write offers on several with the price we were comfortable with. If she was ever unavailable, her associate Megan was able to fill in who was also a pleasure to work with! Brehannah had many great contacts for everything from the inspection to lawyers. She made sure to advocate for our best interests when it came to the closing and even gave us a beautiful housewarming basket! Thanks again for everything!! - Nicole

Brehannah was wonderful to work with in selling our house. She was professional and very knowledgeable about the process. She was responsive and a good communicator, as well as helpful in providing any additional resources needed to help complete the transaction (e.g., staging services, etc.). We would recommend Brehannah's services to others and look forward to working together again. - Christine O

Brehannah was fantastic to deal with both selling our home and buying a new construction home. She responded very quickly to our initial contact request and was quick with any questions or concerns we had throughout the process. Her approach is very stress free for the client, in fact it was almost stressful not having problems thrown at us, as they were expected from my dealings with previous Realtors. Her extensive knowledge of the industry showed with the staging of our house that got it sold fast in a market that was cooling. We sold in 11 days when other similar homes on the same street are still on the market 50+ days after listing. Her good advice was a huge help buying new construction and she went above and beyond from what we expected when the builder was pushing us to break contracts at 11pm the day before the scheduled closing. If anyone is looking for a Realtor who has great communication skills, excellent marketing plans with killer photography, patience and someone who will fight for their clients best interests Brehannah is the only Realtor to call. - Greg

Brehannah made buy our home an amazing experience. She was professional, responsive and lovely to work with. She answered our many questions as first time home buyers and ensured we knew everything we needed to. I highly recommend her. - Riley

Brehannah was incredible to work with. This was our first home purchase, and she made us feel so at ease throughout the process. She was a huge help in navigating the real estate world and gave us advice at every step. We knew we wanted out of the rental market and had an idea of price, but Bre was instrumental in helping us narrow down neighbourhoods and things we should look for in a home. With the market being so competitive she was a huge help in preparing competitive offers. She made an experience that could have been very stressful into something exciting. Brehannah took lots of care to make sure we were conformable and understood all the legal aspects of buying a home which was very appreciated. Could not recommend her more highly! - Brianna and Joshua

Bre was always there when we had questions and made our home sale simple. She was very knowledgeable and helpful as well as pleasant at all times. I would recommend her to anyone who is ready to sell. 🤗 - Dennis and Nadine Garrison

y partner and I were required to relocate to Halifax from Vancouver with little notice and needed to find a new place to live in just a matter of weeks. Being completely unfamiliar with the Halifax market and desired areas of where to live, we were unsure of whether to buy right away before moving, or start off renting before beginning our search. During our first meeting with Bre, she was able to quickly bring us up to speed on the current real estate market that we were about to enter and identified a few neighbourhoods that we might be interested in laying down roots. With a 4 hour time zone difference between Vancouver and Halifax, Bre was always responsive in her messages and was able to answer all of our questions in a timely manner. Unable to travel to Halifax during our search, Bre did an excellent job in showing us all the properties we were considering virtually, while providing honest and direct input on whether the home was a good fit for us. After just a handful of showings, Bre was able to identify and present our perfect ‘forever home’ which we ended up successfully purchasing with her help. If you are in a similar situation as us, don’t think twice about working with Bre as we definitely couldn't have done it without her! - Chris & Joel - Chris Kobylka-Pang
