More Than Just Realtors
Selling Your Home Should Feel Empowering — Not Stressful.
Most real estate agents will tell you they work with military clients. We’ll tell you something different — we are that client.
Don served 13 years as an Infantry Officer with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, completing multiple inter-provincial postings across Canada. He’s bought and sold real estate through the military relocation process from the other side of the table — as the member navigating tight timelines, IRP directives, and the pressure of finding a home before the HHT ends.
Jamie is a military spouse who has moved across the country, planting roots in unfamiliar places more than once. She knows what it feels like to be far from home, searching for a neighbourhood that will actually feel like one — with schools, community, and everything that matters when you’re raising a family.
Together, we bring something no amount of real estate experience alone can replicate — a genuine understanding of what you’re going through, and exactly what it takes to make it work.
Why Work With Us
We Work Where
You’re Selling
Getting posted involves more than just finding a house. There’s a specific process — IRP directives, posting messages, HHT timelines, and relocation funding through BGRS/SIRVA — and navigating it efficiently makes a real difference in your outcome.
We stay current on the latest CANFORGENS, IRP policies, and relocation directives so you don’t have to explain your situation from scratch. We know what your posting message means, what your entitlements cover, and how to structure your HHT to make the most of every day you’re here.
We’ve helped over 100 military clients successfully purchase or sell in the Halifax area — and the reviews speak for themselves.
House Hunting Trips
Your HHT Window Is Short. We Make Every Day Count.
Your HHT window is short and the stakes are high. When you book your House Hunting Trip with The McCooeye Group, we block off our schedule entirely for you — no double bookings, no splitting our attention between clients.
Before you arrive, we’ll have already done the work. We research properties that match your criteria, map out efficient showing routes, and make sure you’re seeing the right homes in the right areas — so you’re not wasting a single day of your trip.
Our goal is to have you under contract with enough time remaining to complete inspections before you return to your place of origin.
Here’s how to set yourself up for success:
1. Reach Out Early: The moment your posting message comes through, contact us. The earlier we connect, the better we can prepare for your arrival and the more options we’ll have ready when you land.
2. Get Familiar with the Market: Before your trip, we recommend setting up an account at viewpoint.ca — a Nova Scotia real estate platform where you can see historical transaction data, what homes are listing and selling for, and get a realistic sense of the market before you arrive.
3. Reserve Your HHT: Once your HHT dates are approved by your chain of command, reach out and lock us in. We’ll confirm availability, start preparing your property shortlist, and make sure everything is ready to go the day you arrive.
Getting Posted Out?
We’ll Get You Top Dollar Before You Go.
If you’re being posted out of Halifax, we’re ready to help you list your property, price it strategically, and get it sold — on your timeline. We understand the urgency that comes with a posting message and we’ll work around your schedule to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Selling under a military timeline doesn’t mean settling for less. We know how to move quickly without leaving money on the table — pricing your home accurately from day one, marketing it aggressively, and negotiating firmly when offers come in. We’ve helped many members sell successfully before their posting date, and we can coordinate remotely if you’ve already departed. Whether you need to be sold in three weeks or three months, we’ll build a plan that works.
