RE/MAX Real Estate Agents Voted #1 Most Trusted in Canada
According to Canadian consumers, RE/MAX is the brand with the #1 Most Trusted Real Estate Agents in Canada*. The results of the 2022 BrandSpark® Canadian Trust Study are based on a survey of 7,857 Canadians – one of the largest studies of its kind – to gauge their honest opinions of what brands they trust most and why. BrandSpark analyzed brands in 64 different categories, spanning Finance & Insurance, Health & Fitness, Retail & Restaurants, Telecom & Home, Travel, and Apps & Websites.
“We’re honoured to be the real estate brand that is most trusted by Canadians,” says Christopher Alexander, Senior Vice President at RE/MAX Canada. “Behind every successful real estate transaction is a foundation built on trust.”
Adds Elton Ash, Executive Vice President at RE/MAX Canada, “The RE/MAX network prides itself on providing expertise and advice that’s in the best interests of the homebuyers and sellers we serve. It’s truly rewarding to know that RE/MAX is more trusted than any other brand of real estate in Canada, and we look forward to continuing to help buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals.”
Why Trust Matters, for Consumers and Brands Alike
According to BrandSpark, when consumers trust brands, they buy them more often and are willing to pay a premium. Brands can build trust by focusing on eight key trust drivers:
- quality
- fair prices
- recommendation
- innovation
- customer support
- values
- transparency, and
- heritage
“Trust is important because it builds loyalty and engagement between consumers and brands; everyone benefits when building trust is prioritized,” said Philip Scrutton, Vice-President of Shopper Insights at BrandSpark International. “The BrandSpark Canadian Shopper Study showed that 75 per cent of shoppers trust consumer-voted awards. Since the BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards are completely determined by consumers, they provide a consensus of trust, which allows consumers to shop smarter and encourages purchasing those brands that are most trusted.”

I have used REMAX Fairlane realty twice for help with selling and finding a house Nancy Messom was my realtor both times. I found that both Nancy and the realty office was professional and experienced. It was a very good experience for me and Nancy ensured that I was updated immediately and understood the problems I faced in both moves. All moves are stressful and hard. I never felt alone in the process and felt I could ask questions and for help when needed. I would certainly recommend Nancy and REMAX to those who ask me.

Debbie worked with my wife Kim and I to sell our property at Folly Lake in 2024. She met with us and we discussed the best pricing model and marketing strategy to maximize our return. She did a fantastic job representing us, created great marketing materials and introduced us to local recourses to help close the sale. We had to return home to Ontario following the listing and Debbie managed the unusual and challenging process to final closure while keeping us fully informed. We were very pleased with the result and Debbie's commitment to her role.

Debbie Elliott was amazing to work with! Buying and selling can be an overwhelming and stressful experience, Debbie kept us grounded and well informed throughout the whole process. Debbie also has some of the best local knowledge of historical real estate in the Colchester/Town of Truro - she is literally an encyclopedia of real estate trends over the years. When we first called her with an interest in a specific area, she helped guide us through potential options and in many ways, single-handedly manifested the opportunity to purchase the home we now own. I never felt like someone had our back in one of the most important purchases you will ever make in your life - as I did with Debbie. She's the first best decision you will make on your new home journey!

I chose Amy Crowell as my relator and I don’t have enough words to express how happy I am with that decision. She has helped me buy two homes and sell one, every single experience has been smooth, well-organized, and far less stressful than I expected. Amy is incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through every step of the process with confidence and clarity. Whether I was buying or selling, she made sure I understood everything and always had my best interests in mind. Her communication is outstanding. Quick, responsive, and reliable which made a huge difference, especially during time-sensitive moments. What really sets Amy apart is that her support doesn’t stop once the sale is done. She continued to be helpful even after closing, which shows how much she genuinely cares about her clients. If you’re looking for a realtor who is professional, responsive, and truly dedicated, I can’t recommend Amy enough. Thanks so much Amy, you’re the bees knees!! :)

From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to achieving the best possible outcome for us. Their expertise in the market, attention to detail, and clear communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Sharon and Joanne were always available to answer questions, provide honest advice, and guide us through every step with confidence and care. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, our home sold within a few days and for a result we were very happy with. We would not hesitate to recommend Sharon Corcoran and Joanne Bouley to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—they are a fantastic team and a pleasure to work with.

We were in the market and on a short timeline. We had seen this house we really wanted and Joanne arranged a viewing. The first thing identified by Joanne was an issue with the septic system as we were viewing it. Her experience saved us from potentially a very expensive problem. Without her knowledge we likely would have bought this house with potentially big problems. In the end we walked away with a house better suited for our needs. Joanne and her colleagues worked diligently to help us find a home. I highly recommend recommend them.

Dylan and I originally connected in 2023 when I was house hunting. Then life took me elsewhere, and when it was time to come back to Nova Scotia, Dylan was there and ready to help me find the perfect home. Since I began searching in the spring, he has been very quick to answer my questions, find out additional information about houses I was interested in and was always honest with me about the good, bad and possibly scary things about every house. He gave up valuable weekend time for viewings, organizing the purchase of my home and answering even more of my questions. He has many connections for contractors and lawyers in the area, which was a plus for me as I've been away for some time. I also want to add that he made sure the fixer-upper that I found would not be too overwhelming or beyond my capabilities. It's clear from day one that this isn't just a job for him; Dylan is very passionate about making sure his clients are informed, happy, and supported every step of the way! I would recommend him to anyone.

Chris helped my fiancé, my son, and I find our perfect forever home! We were moving from out of province and couldn’t find the time to fly in to view the homes, so Chris went above and beyond and did personal video walk-throughs, showing us every nook and cranny of multiple homes, helping us to find the perfect one. He was also very quick in responding to every question we had. I would highly recommend Chris as he was very thorough, consistent and professional.

We were so fortunate to have Joanne guide us through the purchase of our first home this year. She is warm, friendly, and incredibly responsive, exactly what you need as a first-time buyer with a million questions! She never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed, always taking the time to explain the process and teach us along the way. Joanne helped us understand what to look for, what a fair price looked like, and what fit our lifestyle and budget. Her knowledge of the market gave us the confidence to make decisions without second-guessing ourselves. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we can't recommend Joanne enough.

I’ve worked with Joanne for the past six years, and in that time she’s helped me buy and sell dozens of properties. At this point, she’s not just a realtor, she’s a key part of my team. She understands the market, moves quickly, and consistently delivers. Whether it’s sourcing deals, navigating negotiations, or getting properties sold efficiently, she knows exactly what she’s doing. In real estate, having the right people around you matters, and there’s no one better locally to have on your side. If you’re serious about buying or selling, Joanne and her team is the one you want.

I have used ReMax Fairlane Realty, specifically Alan Johnson, (AJ), to sell one house and purchase two more in both Pictou and Colchester Counties. AJ was effective in all three deals. Whenever I needed to connect with people or contractors to help complete work or requirements, he was able to provide suggestions and even assisted setting up inspections. AJ was open to my ideas to help sell my home and also supportive with paperwork. I would highly recommend Alan Johnson for all your real estate needs.
