Full-Service For Less.
We are a cloud brokerage. We've moved away from the traditional brick and mortar model. Overhead reduction, coupled with technology, from Internet and social media marketing, to digital contract signing, has significantly reduced the costs associated with selling and marketing real estate. Cost reductions play a huge role in how we are able to offer world-class real estate services for less than our competition. And we do it all without sacrificing the service you expect and deserve.
Experienced and Accessible.
Our small team at Equity One has completed close to 1,000 transactions since 2008. With that experience comes the confidence to handle any situation or scenario that may arise during the sale of your home.
Our clients can contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Call us, email us, text us, fax us, dispatch a messenger pigeon. We are committed to being accessible to you when you need us.
Honesty. Integrity. Loyalty.
Three words that form the hallmark of our business. We never forget who we work for, and where our allegiances lie.
We promise to always shoot straight, even if what we have to tell you isn't favorable. We will never use pressure, mind games, or scare tactics to influence your home buying or selling decision. Rather, we focus on providing you with information and data, coupled with experience and advice to help you make informed decisions when it comes to what will likely be your biggest financial transaction.
Stunning Photos & Virtual Tours.
We provide exceptional photography, and a 3D immersive virtual tour for each and every listing. And your property address gets its own web address. We want your property to remain solely in focus when we market your property online, free from the distraction of other similar homes.
But we won't limit ourselves to photos and virtual tours. Drone, custom sign printing, video - anything it takes to showcase your home in the best possible light is included in our service, at no additional cost.
Marketing Prowess.
We list your home just about everywhere. Starting with the MLS® System and REALTOR.ca, we syndicate your listing to over 30 major real estate websites. In fact, your listing will appear on the websites of the largest real estate brands in Canada. We also invest heavily in social media advertising, both in building brand awareness and in the promotion of our clients real estate listings.
Real estate is one of the few industries where small boutique brokerages compete on equal footing with larger franchise systems, given the collaborative nature of the MLS® System.
Only Our Fee Is Discounted.
Lower fees? Yes. Cheaper? No.
Discount brokerages are often viewed as offering inferior service, largely as a result of the unbundling of services in order to slash fees. Unlike some discount brokerages, we never cut corners to offer lower commission. We are a full service brokerage offering personalized service at a lower commission rate, and are highly respected amongst other brokerages and REALTORS® where we serve. We charge home sellers 1% listing commission, and give home buyers 25% of the commission we earn when they hire us as their buyer representation.
Supporting Our Community.
Whether hosting neighbourhood E-waste recycling days in partnership with Habitat for Humanity and the City of Ottawa, raising funds and goods for the Ottawa Food Bank, or donating Ottawa Senator tickets to deserving individuals and organizations, we understand the importance of giving back to the city we call home.

From the excellent pictures that …Trevor and Joanne have been absolutely perfect realtors from listing to closing. They have gone above and beyond to ensure that everything has gone smoothly. From the excellent pictures that perfectly displayed our home (which they do professionally in house) to shoveling away ice for us to ensure proper drainage of snow melt, as we had already moved across the country, we could not have asked for better service! Thank you both so much for ensuring that the biggest transaction of our lives went off without a hitch![read more]

They are very respectful and responsive to their clients’ needs and provide excellent advice without being pushy. I really appreciated that. They made me feel like I was their most important client.They are quick to re-evaluate “the plan” should circumstances dictate in order to get or give you the best price possible. That flexibility and attentiveness to your neighbourhood market is key.The morning of my only day of showings we had a big snowfall and Joanne even brought over her little snowblower to do my walkway! I could not have asked for better support and assistance through the stresses of buying and selling.Equity One’s business model of giving cash back on a purchase and charging low commission on a sale were the icing on the cake! I was referred to this team by a friend and reached out to them because of the low commission. I was not disappointed! They provide 110% service and charge less for it. My home ultimately sold in less than a day, for well above asking.[read more]

They are open to conversation and made themselves available when needed. This line of work is difficult on a person/family. I valued their presence and guidance during the entire process. We used them for a second and we will on our next home. Hopefully not soon. What I loved, is the ability to be open and frank with one another because buying a home is such a complex ordeal that you need someone by your side. This is them.[read more]

He’s by no mean a house inspector but his advice on some things i wouldn’t haven’t noticed was well appreciated.He was great,laid-back, no-pressure type of agent that gave us great independence but also amazing advice when it came to putting our offer in. Extra bonus was that he gives you “cash-back” instead of a gift which paid for our new dinning room table! Again, great to be able to pick your “thank you gift”, but honestly that’s secondary to how great of a service we received.We will use Trevor and his team again when/if we have to sell our property (but hopefully not cause we love it!!)[read more]
