ROYAL LEPAGE ATLANTIC COMING TO ANNAPOLIS VALLEY

Atlantic Canada’s leading real estate company acquires offices in Kentville & Kingston, marking the company’s ninth & tenth brokerage location.

HALIFAX– Royal LePage Atlantic is proud to announce the acquisition of its ninth and tenth office locations in Kingston and Kentville. With office locations throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and more than 250 sales associates, Royal LePage Atlantic has already firmly established itself as Atlantic Canada’s largest real estate brokerage. Yet, what has made this company truly successful is it’s ongoing commitment to Going Beyond for its clients and continually expanding its scope of customer service. That’s why everyone in the company is extremely excited about adding these new offices to the family.

Previously known as Royal LePage Cynthia Black Realty, the latest Royal LePage Atlantic offices bring the company into the heart of the Annapolis Valley. It’s a prospect everyone in the company is excited about. “We’ve always done a lot of business here in the valley, but now we are able to have offices located right in Kingston and Kentville to better serve the wonderful people of this community,” President Ralph Stephen says. “Not only that, but we were able to partner with a great real estate mind—someone who we know can help us continue our push toward the future of the company.”

Cynthia Black, who opened her Royal LePage office in 1995, will stay on board as the offices’ broker and manager. Her experience in the industry and in-depth knowledge of the Annapolis Valley home market are distinct advantages to Royal LePage Atlantic and its customers. Her focus will be on training the agents within her office to uphold the deep-rooted traditions and sterling reputation of Atlantic Canada’s leading real estate brokerage.

“I couldn’t be more excited about being a part of the Royal LePage Atlantic family,” Cynthia says. “They have a strong vision for the future of the industry here and the company culture is unmatched. This can only mean great things for everyone in our offices and every client that comes through our doors.”
