My passion for real estate began in Toronto as an early interest in architecture that quickly turned to property investment. That enthusiasm continued after transferring to Ottawa fifteen years ago; loving the quality of life here, the diversity of its people, its neighbourhoods and its easy access to the outdoors.
As a results-oriented individual, I possess excellent negotiation and marketing skills, and an unwavering commitment to my client's goals. Prior to real estate, I was the General Manager of a large trade show and event company. While my background in economics, design and prior experience as a mortgage broker are all valuable resources as a REALTOR(R).
If you are looking to find a house, townhome or condo in Ottawa, you've come to the right place. My website can help you get started to become an online house-hunting master and my Ottawa MLS(R) Home Finder can help you find the perfect home even easier! There are many different types of homes and properties to choose from in various Ottawa neighbourhoods including West Ottawa, Central Ottawa, East Ottawa, South Ottawa and the Suburbs.
When purchasing a home, you are faced with a multitude of decisions! The primary one is whether you are actually prepared to purchase a home. Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, and obtaining a mortgage loan can be a complex and tiring process. Although, once you have determined that you are ready to move forward with the required effort towards your home-purchasing goal, the rewards are unquestionable.
What can you afford to buy? My mortgage calculator can help you estimate payments and determine how much to spend on a home purchase. For most home buyers purchasing a house, townhome or condo in Ottawa usually means obtaining a mortgage or bank financing. You will find a useful mortgage calculator below that will give you the monthly payments that you could expect given your particular financing situation.

I have bought and sold homes on 12 occasions during my career and worked with many Real Estate agents.Jeff Birchmore is the best I have encountered. He knows the details of his profession, he is completely conversant with the rules and intricacies of condo purchase and sale as well as those of urban and rural properties. He explains the details of each step in the process so you are completely prepared for for all eventualities. He handles the inevitable twists and turns of the process with aplomb giving his clients a feeling of confidence throughout what is always a stressful experience. Finally

Working with Jeff was amazing beginning to end. He is professional, knowledgeable and very trustworthy. He was recommended to me by a friend who is a retired real estate agent that I trust and it made the whole process a breeze. After only one meeting, Jeff had a detailed action plan and we knew exactly what was ours to do room by room. He was easy to contact and was patient with our endless questions. He had details research of similar units recently sold in the areA with details. He priced the condo appropriately and we had several offers. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending

I hired Jeff to look after my recent condo sale at LeBreton Flats and was impressed from start to finish. Even before I had retained him, Jeff had done his homework and provided excellent, informed advice from our initial contact onward. He took the time to understand my parameters and priorities, and then developed a plan for achieving them. Jeff strikes the sweet spot between providing proactive guidance and advice, but leaving the client in the driver's seat. He is personable, friendly and positive, but always authentic and realistic. He told me not just what I wanted to hear, but what I needed

Jeff Birchmore is amazing, he is very knowledgeable professional and his attention for detail was exactly what we were looking for. The housing market was crazy but he manage to find us the perfect home within one week. He wasn't pushy or overwhelming but he ensure we had all the information that we needed to make a smart choice. We felt like we were a priority to him and he was always available to take our calls and respond to our text. If you want someone that knows the housing market, Jeff is your man. He also had snacks for us everyday. Thank you Jeff.

Jeff was referred to us by friends. We were so pleased with his services. Jeff is professional, attentive to his clients’ needs, available, patient and has a lot of experience that really made a huge difference in the selling of our house. From staging the house beautifully to regular open houses, excellent advice on price ( he certainly takes the time to do his research) and always ready to answer our questions, day or night. He never hesitated to put the necessary hours to help us meet our goal to sell our house at the best price possible as fast as possible. We strongly recommend him. He is

I recently worked with Jeff on the purchase of a home in Ottawa. Although my partner has purchased a home before, I was a first time home buyer. We were asking a lot of Jeff as we were looking for a new home in a centralized area, to sell my partner's home, and to help find a commercial property...all in a a short time frame. Jeff was consistent, genuine and efficient throughout the entire process. He listened to what we were looking for and never wasted our time with properties that didn't meet our needs. He learned what our taste was and provided us with tailored information based on what we

We used Jeff Birchmore to sell our condo and buy a house. Not only was he extremely professional, but also very honest and trustworthy. Jeff helped us prepare our condo for sale and was always willing to drop by when we had questions. He works with a wonderful stager and photographer who made our house look amazing. He gave us great tips to help get our house ready, and advertised it thoroughly. Our condo sold on its first day on the market thanks to his hard work! Jeff was also very helpful when we were looking for a house. He understood what we were looking for and was always ready to take us

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff as a first time home buyer.
I chose to work with Jeff after contacting half a dozen Realtors in the Ottawa area and I could not be happier with his service!
From the very first email, he was a consummate professional and his responses always contained a degree of detail I appreciated. He was responsive and flexible in accommodating my schedule as I was moving in from out of town.
I appreciated his advice and he simplified an intimidating process with his patient explanations and obvious experience.
I have already recommended Jeff to a number of friends

Jeff Birchmore helped us buy our new home and sell our old one quickly and seamlessly. There was, as normal, a quick timeline to get an offer in with competing offers, but we never felt rushed, and Jeff took the time with us to go through comparable homes with their upgrades to help make a great offer. On selling our home, he gave us a comprehensive staging list, and staged the home to sell, as it sold the first day it was on the market! I highly recommend Jeff for anyone's realtor needs as he is professional, approachable, and gave us reasonable expectations during the process.

We have had the pleasure in working with Jeff in renting and selling property. Jeff is truly the consummate professional - reliable, a strong communicator, attentive, acts with integrity and also goes above and beyond with respect to every detail of the process. This was extremely important to us as we do not live in Ottawa so it can be quite tough not being local and available to handle the process or even meet face to face. Jeff provided all details via email and calls when managing the posting of the property, dealing with interested parties and the outcome of each of those visits. He also arranged
