Areas I serve
Kanata real estate
Kanata is a large community in Ottawa's west end, known for its planned neighbourhoods and its technology parks. I help buyers and sellers here.
Living in Kanata
Kanata is a former city in the west end of the City of Ottawa, about 22 km west of downtown along Highway 417, just beyond the Greenbelt. It was built up from the 1960s as a planned community, became a city in 1978 and joined the new City of Ottawa in 2001.
The area is divided into neighbourhoods that each have their own character, including Beaverbrook, Glen Cairn, Bridlewood, Katimavik-Hazeldean, Kanata Lakes and Morgan's Grant. Beaverbrook is the oldest, with mature trees and homes from the 1960s and 1970s, while the north and south ends have grown with newer subdivisions.
Kanata is home to the Kanata North Business Park and many of Ottawa's technology employers, which is one reason so many people choose to live nearby. The Canadian Tire Centre, home of the Ottawa Senators, is in Kanata, and the community has plenty of shopping, parks, trails and recreation facilities.
Stittsville is right next door to the southwest, and many buyers look at both.
Buying a home in Kanata
Kanata offers everything from condos and townhouses to large detached homes, in neighbourhoods built over several decades. I help you compare areas on what matters to you, such as distance to work, schools, lot size and the age of the home, and I show you recent comparable sales before you offer.
If you are looking at a new build in Kanata or Stittsville, I can show you different builders and what is available. Read about the new-build HST credit before you sign.
Selling your home in Kanata
Kanata neighbourhoods each have their own buyers and their own price range. My written market analysis compares your home with the most relevant recent sales and the current listings nearby, so your price fits your street and your timing.
I plan professional photos, MLS® exposure and showings with you, and give you feedback after every showing.
Getting around
Highway 417 runs through Kanata toward central Ottawa, and March Road leads north through the business park. OC Transpo buses and the West Transitway serve the area.
Who I help in Kanata
I help first-time buyers, families moving up, people relocating for work and owners selling to downsize or move.
Questions about Kanata
What is the difference between Kanata and Stittsville?
They are next to each other in Ottawa's west end. Kanata is larger and includes the business parks, while Stittsville has its own main street and many newer neighbourhoods. I can show you sales from both so you can compare.
Do you help buyers relocating to Kanata for work?
Yes. I help you narrow down neighbourhoods, plan viewings around your schedule and understand recent sales before you offer.
Should I look at new builds in Kanata?
It can be worth it. I can show you different builders and what is available, and explain how the new-build HST credit may apply. Your lawyer and accountant confirm the details.
How do I find out what my Kanata home is worth?

Real reviews from my Google Business Profile, quoted word for word.
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! )

Paul is the best man to find you a new home! He'll do it quick and stress free, not pushy at all into buying a home. Out of all the Agents I have met buying multiple homes, he's definitely number #1. Really cares about finding your dream home that matches your need and comfort. He also loves his job which makes it enjoyable for everyone. He treats you like family and is always honest and humble with his recommendations. My experience was absolutely amazing and I will call him on my next purchase for sure. I highly recommend him. Thanks again for everything!
