Areas I serve
Vars real estate
Vars is a small rural village in the east end of Ottawa, near Russell Township. I help buyers and sellers in Vars and the countryside around it.
Living in Vars
Vars is a compact rural community in the east end of the City of Ottawa, in Osgoode Ward. The area was first settled in the 1820s and 1830s around Bear Brook, and the village later grew around the railway station before being renamed Vars.
The village has a French-language elementary school, a church, Alcide Trudeau Park and a few local businesses. Most homes are on village streets or rural lots, and the surrounding area is farmland and countryside.
Vars sits between Navan and Russell Township, so Embrun and Russell are close for everyday shopping, and Orléans is a drive to the north.
Buying a home in Vars
Vars attracts buyers who want a quiet rural setting inside the City of Ottawa. Many properties use a private well and septic system, so we plan the right inspections and a water test. I also help you check internet options at the address before your offer is firm.
With few listings at any time, I set up alerts and share recent comparable sales from Vars and nearby rural areas.
Selling your home in Vars
Pricing a rural home takes care. My written market analysis compares your home with the best available sales in Vars, Navan, Russell Township and nearby rural areas, and explains every adjustment.
I market Vars homes to buyers searching the east end and Russell Township who want more space.
Getting around
Vars is close to Highway 417, which leads west into Ottawa and east toward Casselman and Montreal. Your drive depends on where you are going and when, so test it at rush hour.
Who I help in Vars
I help families moving out of the city, buyers looking for a rural property and long-time owners selling.

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!
