Let's make one thing clear. 5 Stars sre no where near enough to actually rate Don and his team. Even as returning customers we were blown away by the quality, efficiency, professionalism, attentiveness and so many other factors of Don' services. Buying and selling houses are some of the most stressful times in life but Don manages to make it as smooth as anyone can expect. Were are so very grateful to have had the chance of finding this gem that Don and his team are! Very highly recommended. He is our choice when the time comes to sell and move again! - Steve

Don was recommended to us, and we had a great experience. He was easy to communicate with and a great advocate, especially as a first time home buyer. We always felt well-informed. He was honest, straightforward, and helped to guide us through the process. Buying a home is overwhelming, and he and his team made it a lot more manageable. We are very thankful for their help and would happily recommend them to others. - Grace Hudd

Amazing service, good at communicating and very down to earth! I would highly recommend using him because you’ll have ongoing support! He always goes above and beyond. He helped us through all the hurdles, large and small - Caroline Dixon

We really appreciated Don and Jamie’s help in getting us setup in our new house in Halifax. They both outlined everything clearly and acted very professionally throughout the entire process. We had our four year old child with us when we were up for our house hunting trip and Don and Jamie able to work with all of us, They made the experience fun for our son too. He felt very involved in the decision-making process (he was the final arbiter of the “pancake test”…whether or not you could imagine yourself eating pancakes in this kitchen on a weekend morning). Having an additional set of parental eyes (watching out for our four year old) enabled his us to actually evaluate properties. Don and Jamie added much more value than just being another set of eyes. In negotiating prices and which large items that would/would not be left in the home, they were tireless in looking out for our the best interests. Don in particular was frank and honest about what would be possible regarding how we wanted to use our property. For example, I was not aware of Halifax-specific regulations on the use of property as an Air BnB. Another realtor could’ve let me continue believing that some of my ideas would work when they wouldn’t. - Norm Normand

Very professional and dedicated to helping people finding what they need along with top notch marketing and negotiation skills are top notch He always provides checks ins to keep you updated. - Jack Cameron

Don was a pleasure to work with and he made our entire first time buying experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. We told him about a house we were interested in when we met him and he had a viewing set up for us the following day. He was very knowledgeable about the areas all around Halifax and all of the critical and practical components of the house, as well as giving us answers to questions we didn’t even know we should be asking. He was constantly diligent and efficient and we truly felt like he was on our side and backing us up through the whole process. I would highly recommend Don to anyone! - Kyle Gallant

Don was a joy to work with start to finish. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, great communicator and happy to go the extra mile to please and get results. Got me exactly what I was looking for, and I was doing this remotely from Spain which I’d assumed would be challenging. Don made it easy. Absolutely wonderful. I’d enlist him again in a second. Highest recommendation. Thank you Don - Scott

Working with Don was an incredible experience. His expert advice gave us confidence in a stressful process. He was a master negotiator who clearly had our best interests at heart. We felt supported every step of the way and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a seamless, professional experience. - Alessio Agnello

Don was excellent at his work. Efficient, approachable, available for any queries. Mitigated all situations before becoming a problem. His entire team made the purchase a very positive and enjoyable experience. We always felt looked after and protected. I highly recommend Don and his team for any purchase or sale. Thanks guys! - SALVATORE AGNELLO

Don was absolutely fantastic to work with! He was incredibly speedy with every response and always provided insightful, thoughtful guidance throughout the entire process. His knowledge and professionalism really stood out. On top of that, his team was a huge plus... organized, supportive, and just as responsive. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly delivers, Don is the one! - Dan LeGrow

Don and Jamie sold the home we bought in Enfield, NS, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They were professional, transparent, and genuinely great to work with. After closing, an HVAC issue came up, and Don stepped in and paid out of pocket to make it right — that says everything about the kind of people they are. Amazing team. If you’re buying or selling in Halifax or East Hants, they’re the ones to call. - Jenna belony

Selling your home and moving across the country is never an easy feet but when you have a great realtor it takes alot of the pressure off! Don and Jamie sold our home in a very rapidly changing market of 2025 (in Enfield). They were able to help us make quick decisions to help stay ahead of the market trends to get our very unique home sold. Don and Jamie saw what we loved about our property and saw how it would appeal to others. During the process we relocated out of province, Don and Jamie were so great with understanding this transition and time difference, jumping on calls or by message at all hours. They also were on the ball with helping us coordinate services we might need (lawn / snow removal). Don has a great network of really incredible people for any possible need that may arise when selling your home. Don and Jamie were such a pleasure to work with, I could not recommend them enough. If our journey ever takes us back to Nova Scotia they will be one of our first calls! - Lauren Nolan

Don and Jamie are truly a dream team. I was living alone while my husband was away training with the RCMP, which made the process of selling our home feel daunting and stressful. On top of that, we were preparing to move out of the province, so it was already a high-stress time for us. Don’s previous experience with relocating was incredibly comforting and encouraging, and it was very much appreciated. From his very first visit, Don was well prepared with thorough market research. He made sure the entire process was seamless, focusing on fewer showings and more serious buyers. As someone living alone, I wasn’t comfortable with a high volume of showings, and he completely understood and respected that. We’ve since referred family to Don because he truly treats you like a friend. This isn’t just his job — it’s his community. We plan to relocate back to Nova Scotia in the next few years, and we look forward to working with him again when the time comes - Abby Jollymore

Don was a referral through my business coaching network, and I can’t say enough how pleased I was to connect with him and his team. Don was amazing with my sister as she sold her home for the first time. He helped her get everything ready, guided her through the process, and gave her so much confidence along the way. She’ll definitely work with him again, and I’ll happily recommend him to others too! Five stars is not enough!!! - Claire Burden

If you are looking for the best agent to find your perfect home in Nova Scotia, look no further. No matter how difficult your wish is to find the home you want, Don's knowledge, attention to details, and listening to and giving great advices are just a few qualities of his professionalism. His team from real estate lawyer to mortgage broker to home inspector, Don and his wife Jamie, work tirelessly, even after hours if needed, to help you find a home of your wish. They deserve 10 stars out of 5! I highly recommend him and his team. - Edith Reese

Don helped us to find our dream home when the world seemed to be going crazy. He was helpful, quick to respond and always went above-and-beyond for us. So grateful to have him in our corner as we navigated buying from another province. When we were ready to buy more real estate recently, Don was the first person we called. We highly recommend him and his hard-working team. - Liana Field

We reached out to Don as first-time homebuyers with an interest in a specific property (we weren’t on the market, but found this opportunity we didn’t want to let pass us by). Don rapidly responded to us, and our endless questions. As first-time homebuyers his communication skills were very helpful. He was willing to take his time and walk us through each step of the process. We do better with more information, and he made the time to explain everything. He managed our expectations very clearly and the things he described in our initial discussions were exactly what happened on home inspection, offer, legal review and closing. Having such clarity really helped us in the process. Don basically never stops – he just goes and goes and goes (in your best interest). He made himself available and never made us feel like we were anything but valued clients. He gave guidance, but never felt like he was imposing – he gave suggestions and strategies, but it was clear the decisions were ours to make and we were free to pursue whatever option suited us best. His negotiation strategies with the selling party were very effective, his ability to work with other agents, and his understanding of what is reasonable meant he could represent our interests, but also ensure everyone would be satisfied with the deal. He also didn’t over-stretch his area of expertise or responsibilities as a real estate agent, but helped us shape questions for the other parties involved in the process. When something needed to be a ‘lawyer-question’ or ‘bank-question’ he helped prepare us to get the information we needed. Don also brings a network of regular contacts that he trusts in the industry, and we were happy with the services they offered. We are so grateful to have had the chance to work with Don on such a significant life decision and will recommend Don to our friends and family. - Mark Sweeney

Don and his team were fantastic! Any question we had at any time of day he had an answer for, or a way to find out. Being a real estate novice was a non issue with Don navigating us. 10/10 recommend, zero regrets or loose ends. - Alyssa

As first time home buyers, we had no idea what to expect. Don guided us through the purchase of the house seamlessly. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and personable. I highly recommend him. - Alicia Jubis

Don & Jamie are very knowledgeable as well as very easy and pleasant to deal with. It was a pleasure having them work for us and I would definitely recommend them. - Darren Burgess

Don and Jamie did an excellent job selling my property. Very professional, reliable, and always kept me informed throughout the process. Highly recommend! Great experience working with them! They made selling my home easy and stress-free. Fantastic communication and results - Alex

“Don and Jamie are extremely professional and provided great guidance through the sale of my house. They made selling my house as seamless as it could have been, and I will continue to work with both of them for years to come. Wish I could write 6/5. Great team!!” - Scott MacFarlane

I'm leaving the province for a new job and Needed it done in a short period of time. Don got it done. I'm very happy and on my way on time. - Jody

We can’t recommend Don and Jamie enough! After being in the market for almost 2 years with no luck, they helped us find and purchase our dream home in just 2 months. From start to finish, the process felt effortless thanks to their professionalism, guidance, and dedication. Both my fiancée and I were blown away by how personal they made the experience. They truly treated us like family—always attentive, patient, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. One standout moment was with an issue regarding our fence. It had been damaged during repairs before closing, and I wasn’t able to get a repair quote until weeks later. To our surprise, Don and Jamie managed to have the fence repaired by the closing date itself. We still don’t know how they pulled it off, but it speaks volumes about how committed they are to their clients. If you’re looking for realtors who are detail-oriented, compassionate, and truly invested in helping you, Don and Jamie are the ones you want by your side. We are beyond impressed with their service and would 100% recommend them to anyone buying or selling. - Kody Newhook

Our family had a wonderful experience working with Don during the sell of our home . His knowledge and professionalism showed throughout the whole experience.we would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to others. - Michelle Murphy

I highly recommend The McCooeye Group, for anyone looking to buy a home in Halifax and East Hants. They were incredibly receptive to my budget and preferences—never once did I feel pressured or dismissed. Instead, they provided thoughtful advice both on our initial offer and the counteroffers that followed. What really stood out was how quickly they sent new listings that fit exactly what I was looking for, and proactively arranged walkthroughs to ensure I had the best chance of securing my new home. Their attunement to my needs and their efficiency made the entire process feel seamless. Thank you, Don and team, for your exceptional service. I’ll absolutely turn to you again when the time comes! - Michael

Don goes above and beyond for his clients. We bought in 2021 and now consider him a friend. We bought outside of his normal area with no issue. He was willing to travel to find us the right home. And we got the perfect one for our family! - Barbie R.

Don has great communication skills and was very knowledgeable and professional. He and Jamie work hard to make the selling process as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend Don McCooeye. - Lynne LeGrow

Wow! Don and Jamie are truly the best! We don't know how to tell you are amazing they are. We bought and sold with them and I can say they are available, they know what they are doing, they understand the market and really work for their client. They helped, guided and supported us through finding our house in 2022 and selling our home in 2025. They know how a military posting can be stressfull and they were so good to simplify the process and what we had to do as buyers and sellers. They kept tight control of the purchase/selling processes. Don also gave us contacts and advice about Nova Scotia as we came from another province. Thank you Don and Jamie, you are the best! - Magalie

What a dream team to work with! Military moves are complicated and stressful but Don and Jamie were very thoughtful and strategic with all aspects of our house search and successfully helped us buy a place within a couple of days! They were receptive to our needs yet able to suggest a pivot when needed. Don's expertise on the market (AND on the houses themselves) were so vital. We've worked with many realtors across Canada but Don and Jamie are by far THE best - competent and strategic yet super caring and lovely. They're such a pleasure to work with - we highly recommend them! - Tim Chi Lee
