I was referred to Lee by one of his previous clients, and honestly, it was the best decision I could have made. When I started searching for a home, I wasn't expecting to find anything ideal anytime soon. But incredibly, we found our dream home very early in the process—and I'll admit, at first I thought it was too good to be true. I genuinely didn't believe we'd actually be able to land it.
Lee made it happen. From start to finish, he was professional, efficient, and truly dedicated. What I appreciated most was his honesty—he'd tell us straight if something wasn't right.
There's been no wasted time with him. Our timelines were short but he delivered a remarkably quick turnaround on every single step. Fast forward a little while after moving in, and I can confirm: the home is everything we hoped for and more. We're thrilled with where we are living.
I was told that he is a genuine expert in his field and to listen to his advice and they were right, I highly recommend him.
Another great experience working with Cara. Our daughter and son-in-law are next on the list to make it the 4th time our family has used Cara and the team for a real estate transaction since we moved to Nova Scotia. Each experience has been fantastic.
Hard to put into words to explain what a relief it was to have Lee as our realtor. We were coming out of province and he went above and beyond all expectations to make sure our home purchase went as smoothly as possible. We certainly had some hiccups along the way, and thanks to Lee and his team, everything proceeded as planned. Thank you so much for your expertise, it made all the difference in getting our family back east and closer to home.
My extend my heartfelt thanks to Lee Coley & Cara Todd, the Ideal Home Team at Century 21. From the first meeting when Lee said, "We do our homework" in analyzing the market to set a listing price, to when he returned to present his comprehensive findings with several logical comparables, I knew I had found my realty team. Together we navigated everything, working as a team. I especially appreciated Cara's expertise as we collaborated on staging, using a combination of my own furniture selections together with her items & good ideas. Everything came together extremely well, & we had some fun in the process too as I said good-bye to my former home. In my view, their expertise together with their patience make them a rare find in today's real estate market, & I refer to as my "dream team" of realtors. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wants to sell their property. They ably supported me every step of the way & I am so grateful. Thanks again Lee & Cara -- you are simply THE BEST!
Cara and Lee were amazing. I was on a massive time crunch for purchasing a new home (my first one!) and they were able to get it done. Good communication throughout- I was always able to call/text and get an answer right away. They both also have a great sense of humour which helped put some ease on a very stressful time.
Lee and his team are so detail oriented, efficient AND absolutely lovely people. They have a solution to every possible problem and get things done promptly and with no stress. I have purchased and sold with their help and both experiences were flawless. Thanks so much for all your help, guidance and kindness.
Lee Coley and The Ideal Home Team were nothing short of amazing. We first met Lee when we arrived in Nova Scotia from BC and he kindly spent a weekend driving us around the greater Halifax area, sharing his knowledge of all the communities and types of homes available. We really had no clue where we wanted to buy so being able to have this time with Lee was so valuable. Due to waiting for our previous home to sell, buying a home in Nova Scotia took longer than anticipated, but Lee stayed in touch and on more than one occasion had to give me some pep talks, during a very stressful year. I often joke that realtors also have to act as counsellors! I don't think we could have found a better person to show us houses, pointing out so many things that we would have no knowledge of, there was never any pressure just a real sense that he cared and wanted to find the best home, at the best price for us. Which he did! We also had the pleasure of meeting Gary through the final stages and am so thankful to Lee, Gary and the Ideal Home Team for everything they did to help us find our perfect home. I recommend them unreservedly if you are looking to sell or buy a new home.
This is the second home that Lee has sold for us. That’s says everything for us, we’ve had 2 great selling experiences. Professionalism, honesty, integrity, and all reflecting his great his great personality and qualities. We felt like we really mattered and not just a numbered client. We would certainly recommend him and his team to guide you through what can be a challenging and stressful process. Thanks for all .Maggie and Louie .
