Hammond real estate
Hammond is a small rural community in Clarence-Rockland. If you want space, quiet and a short drive to Rockland, I can help you buy or sell here.
Living in Hammond
Hammond is one of the communities within the City of Clarence-Rockland, in the rural part of the city south of Rockland. It is a small, quiet place surrounded by farmland and countryside, with a mostly French-speaking community and neighbours who know each other.
Most of the homes here are detached houses on larger lots, with some rural properties that include more land or outbuildings. People who move to Hammond tend to want room to spread out: a big yard, a garden, a garage or a workshop, and a calmer street than they would find in town.
Day to day, residents rely on Rockland and the nearby villages for groceries, schools and services. That short drive is part of the trade for more space and more privacy.
Buying a home in Hammond
Rural buying has its own checklist. Many properties use a private well and septic system, so water quality and quantity tests and a septic inspection are often part of the offer. We also look at the condition of the roof, foundation and heating system, the age of the well and septic, internet options and any zoning questions for outbuildings or future plans.
Listings in Hammond are limited, which means good homes can attract attention quickly. I set up alerts, share recent comparable sales from Hammond and nearby rural areas, and help you act with confidence when the right home comes up.
Selling your home in Hammond
Pricing a rural home takes care. Lot size, outbuildings, updates and services all affect value, and there may be only a few recent sales to compare with. My written market analysis explains which sales I used and how your home compares, so you can make a decision you are comfortable with.
I market Hammond homes to local buyers and to people in Orléans and Ottawa looking for more land. Good photos matter a lot for rural homes, so we plan them carefully, along with the showing schedule and the details buyers will ask about.
Getting around
You will want a car in Hammond. Local roads lead to Rockland and to Bourget, and from there to Highway 174, County Road 17 and Highway 417. How long your commute takes depends on your route, the weather and the time of day, so it is worth driving it at rush hour before you buy.
Who I help in Hammond
I help buyers looking for land and privacy, families leaving the city for more room, and long-time owners selling a rural property. I am based in Rockland, close by.
Questions about Hammond
What does a well and septic inspection involve?
For a well, a lab tests the water for bacteria and other concerns, and an inspector can check the flow and the equipment. For septic, a specialist inspects the tank and bed. I help you schedule these during your conditional period so you can buy with confidence.
Is Hammond part of Clarence-Rockland?
Yes. Hammond is one of the communities in the City of Clarence-Rockland, together with Rockland, Clarence Creek, Bourget, Clarence, Cheney and Saint-Pascal-Baylon.
How do you price a rural home in Hammond?
I look at the most comparable recent sales, then adjust for lot size, outbuildings, services, updates and condition. When there are only a few close matches, I widen the search to similar rural areas nearby and explain every adjustment in writing.
Can I get internet service in Hammond?
Options vary by address. Before you firm up an offer, we check which providers serve that property so there are no surprises after you move in.

What my clients say
Real reviews from my Google Business Profile, quoted word for word.
I’m convinced this is the best real estate agent in Ottawa!! Paul is not only gonna find you a home but he will become your friend as well. He’s so honest, determined, positive and willing to go above and beyond for his customers. He’s also always available and always picks up his phone. After finding his flyer on our door one day, we gave him a call then hired him to sell our house and find us a new one. The process was so flawless and stress free we couldn’t have asked for better. I’m 100% hiring him again next time i wanna move. I can’t recommend him enough!!

As first time home buyers we are so fortunate to have been paired with Paul, his sound guidance, responsiveness and expertise helped us land the home of our dreams in a difficult market. We would have sat and waited too long to put in an offer had we not followed his advice. We had a lot of unknowns and each time one popped up Paul found answers SUPER quickly- even our insurance agent was impressed by his responsiveness. He did an amazing job helping us source reliable experts for the many inspections we had and was very impressive doing so on a short time frame. We are so grateful for all of Paul’s hard work, dedication, and negotiation skills. You can tell he's a people's person who loves what he does and is energized by the joy of helping people. Would recommend and would trust Paul again :) (He additionally got us some house warming gifts- included baby chickens! )
