Relocating to Ottawa?
Moving to Ottawa as part of a military, RCMP, government or corporate transfer? As Canada’s capital, Ottawa is a relocation magnet, especially for members of the Canadian Forces and federal and technology-sector employees. Because so many families are moving here, having access to reliable Ottawa neighbourhood property search tools and area information makes the difference between a stressful move and a smart one.
We are here to help. We have a tremendous amount of experience with these types of moves and have personally assisted well over a thousand clients just like you relocate to Ottawa. We are Registered Relocation Specialists and Accredited Buyer Representatives, and we are registered with Brookfield Global Relocation Services and many other corporate relocation companies. We not only understand the process and the paperwork involved, we also understand the issues that matter to families in transition, and we are dedicated to making your move to or from Ottawa as stress free as possible.

Schools and enrollment
If you are moving with children, schools are often the deciding factor in choosing a neighbourhood, since where you live determines which schools your children can attend and registration can vary from one area to the next. Our Ottawa schools page is a useful starting point, and we are happy to help you line up school catchments with the neighbourhoods on your shortlist before you commit to an area.

We coordinate around your timeline, whether you are house-hunting on a short trip or buying before you arrive.
