Richard Payne, Realtor®️ - Halifax Homes and Lifestyles

Buying a house for the first time is super scary! Richard was amazing at taking the reins on all the hard stuff and making sure the house was in the best condition for us. He was with us through every process and made us feel comfortable. Richard is also extremely knowledgeable about the real estate business which made us feel confident about our purchase. I recommend Richard for any future real estate endeavours!

We really appreciated Richard's straight-talking approach during our recent purchase; his technical and market knowledge is excellent and he was always ready to talk when we needed. A pleasure to work with.

If you are looking to purchase a home in Halifax, I would highly recommend that you contact Richard at Halifax Home and Lifestyles. My husband and I were relocating to Halifax from outside of Canada. Richard and his staff helped us find a home we love. Due to Richard’s hard work and organization, the entire process was much easier than anticipated. Richard connected us with all the right people (lawyer, insurance, etc.), clearly laid out every step of the process, and even recorded customized walk-through videos of homes we wanted to see. He was readily available to talk via email/text/skype and quick to respond when we had questions. Richard was very knowledgeable about the different neighbourhoods and homes in Halifax, and he took care of many in-person tasks since we were living outside of the country during the purchase of our home. He has continued to provide assistance even after closing. Thanks Richard!

Great experience with Richard selling our home! He covered every detail of the process. Would highly recommend him to anyone with any real estate needs, he is very knowledgeable and professional.

My experience with with Richard exceeded my expectations and I was more than satisfied with his and his teams services - I recommend 100% ! At our first meeting Richard put me at ease due to his genuine smile and and very pleasant personality. He and his team were very efficient in setting up several condo viewings to ensure I had a snap shot view of the availability to include explaining the neighborhoods and methodology for cost comparison. Time was of the essence as I was making the purchase while still residing in British Columbia and was in Halifax for only a few days visiting family. We were successfully able to find a condo within 48 hours to meet all of my wish list requirements and the offer was accepted by the seller and agent on same day of submission - all due to Richard knowing his business so very well ! He and his team continued to support me during the purchase to recommend a reliable real estate lawyer and property insurance agent. Once the deal was closed Richard continued to assist by sending my condo keys by prepaid courier service across the country. He personally made arrangements with my new condo management and met my moving team upon arrival to ensure my household effects were safely put inside the unit. End result is that I arrived all my items were inside and ready for unpacking ! Moving can be a stressful experience but much less so when you have a professional partner like Richard to take care of the property purchase and other related details ! Richard is the model all agents in the real estate industry should use to measure their success
