We hired Rob to sell our Dartmouth rental property and honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. From our first meeting he listened carefully to our priorities, gave thoughtful market advice, and created a marketing plan that felt tailored to our situation.

Most importantly is we dealt with him, not an admin or someone from his team. We knew he was our point of contact and was available when we needed.

If I had more houses to sell, I should go with Rob any time, not to forget Peter, his adorably wire-haired four-legged partner: Rob, having stood by constructively over a difficult time of big moving changes, is not only a personable Realtor, his know-how and humanity has made him a friend for life.

Robbie sold me into my place 10 years ago and he was a rock star then. He has kept in touch, answered so many questions for me over the years and is now walking me through the process of selling. He has been getting and keeping me organized to sell, giving advice on what to clear out and is going to help me do a little staging for the sale. This has been an on going thing for the last couple of years, Robbie is patient, organized and a great communicator. In my humble opinion he is the best realtor in Halifax, he will keep you grounded, laughing and moving forward. - James S

Rob picked up where our last realtor left off. We were starting to feel a little hopeless at finding a house that fit our wants and needs in our budget. After a long talk about our goals and lifestyle Rob swung us around and help us explore an area we had not previously considered and one afternoon he sent us a message with an address saying - check this place out. Later that day we were walking through the house and around the property and we felt what he said we would when we found "the one". Everything moved so fast from there but Rob handled it all and kept us up to date and calm through the whole thing. We LOVE our house and Rob is the BEST realtor in Nova Scotia! He has even checked in on us a few times since we moved in. - Ryan Mongomery

Rob was great! He was always available whenever we had questions or needed advice, which made the entire process feel easy and stress-free.

If you’re looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and fun agent to work with, who truly has your best interests at heart, we highly recommend him. - Amanda B

If you are looking for a realtor in or around Halifax then Rob is your guy. I live about 2 hours outside of the city and am not overly familar with areas outside of the DT core. When I was looking for a lot of land he directed me to different areas until I decided on the lawrencetown beach area. He knew what I was looking for and found me the perfect lot of land. Unfortnately life led me in a different direction after buying and needed to sell again a couple years later. Worried I would loose money with selling he convinced me to try an I made money! Very happy with the outcome and his over all service. He is a very good communicator and has a lot of area knowledge. would recommend to everyone I like. - JG

His regular follow-ups made everything feel organized and stress-free. Looking forward to the next time. - Linda M

He was always very prompt to reply and available to look at places when they came available. Knew a lot about houses and neighbourhoods which was helpful. Was not scared to crawl into scary parts of houses - spiders! We liked looking at houses with him. - R Patterson

Professional, prompt, organized and meticulous. Rob took our keys and sold our home within days of list and for a price that we were more than happy with. He set expectations and exceeded them, kept us updated on everything and helped us remove some things prior to closing. All around a very great experience. - Paul Carroll

SOLD! Being away and selling a home that is vacant is stressful. Unless you have Rob in your corner. He checked on the house before and after showings, sent me frequent updates on what was happening and worked his butt off to sell my place. Whenever someone I know needs a realtor I am pushing Rob in there direction!! - Beck Lawlor

Finding a good house in our price range was not easy. We saw lots, offered and lost on a few (others went over our budget) and one we lost on inspection things. Rob and his team never gave up, kept us very motivated and suggested houses (like one we got) that we never had on our radar. He was very patient with questions, always, always replied fast to out calls and texts and was very knowledgable about houses. Pointing out flaws and items that would need doing etc. We enjoyed working with him a lot and have already referered him to friends. - Ray Tavell

Rob was an incredible agent to work with. From start to finish, his patience and calm approach made the entire process so much easier.

Highly recommend Rob to anyone looking to sell their home. - Kathy Ermossa

We had the pleasure of working with Rob to purchase a condo for our mother, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Rob was attentive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. He took the time to understand our family’s needs and made the process feel smooth and stress-free. Rob guided us through every step, answered all our questions promptly, and made sure we felt confident in our decisions. What stood out most was his genuine care—not just about closing a deal, but about finding the right home for our mom. His professionalism, honesty, and dedication really set him apart. Thanks to Rob, we found the perfect place, and we’re so grateful for his hard work. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and supportive realtor. - Amanda Doyle

Rob is a fantastic real estate agent. He helped me purchase a home in Dartmouth in 2021 and with the sale of the home in Summer 2025. I was a first-time home buyer, with no family in the area to help, and Rob was amazing and so helpful, I really felt like he was looking out for my best interests. He helped with my at-a-distance sale (I was in Ontario) and ensured everything went smoothly, answering all of my questions. I highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a real estate agent! - Megan

Rob was amazing as always. My stress and anxiety levels run high but he was always able to bring me back to a bit of a relaxed state of mind. Helped that he always replied quick or called me back to listen to me rant. I always felt like he was on my side, looking out for my best interests. He handled just about everything that he could for me over and above what he probably has to do for most people. His patience was outstanding, I learned a lot about the selling process, could not do his job! I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!! - Mitch Proctor

Rob has been my realtor on my last 5 purchase and sales. Consistent and succesful every time. He is hard working, communicative, reasonable and always puts his client first. He is also very good at keeping me relaxed, not an easy task if you know me. I have referred him to family and will continue to do so, very nice guy and liked by all. - John Doggall

Rob showed me a lot of houses, we lost a few and were turned off my a lot. Persistence played off even when I was ready to throw in the towel more than once Rob kept me on track, always positive always saying lets give it a try. One of those tries finally paid off and hge found us the perfect home, in an area I did not think to explore. He is still, even after closing just a call away if I have questions. He is the best! - S.L

We had three days to find a home while we were visiting Halifax and Rob really hustled for us to find a place we love. He asssured us when we spoke before coming that he never had a client be homeless, he made us feel better like that the whole time. 5 out of 5 stars! - Denis

Rob was knowledgable, patient and always available. He pointed out the good and bad in every house we looked at, we never once felt pressured, always. felt like he was looking out for our best interests in making a smart buy in a home. We finally found a place we love and the whole process felt supported. We could not have asked for a better experience! - Ben & Alex

Rob came as a referal from friends who had used him previously and he lived up to their rave reviews, we liked him instantly and knew he was going to be "our guy". He is always on top of things and answered our many questions before we could ask at times. If you are selling a home you NEED to have Rob in your corner. He fought for us until the end! - Chris Wilton

Super duper realtor! It took a lot to get me ready to move. Many questions, many late night talk me off the cliff messages and phone calls and a lot of support from Rob during the entire process. He did everything he promised me he would do and more. If I needed a referal he always had "a person" and he got me a very good price for my little condo. He still keeps in touch too, very nice and genuine man. I have bought and sold man times in my life and I wish I had met Rob sooner. - Frank Kelly
