    We had such a great experience working with The Reality Group! Megan helped us sell our home and Ashley helped us find and buy our new one — both were absolutely amazing to work with. They were super friendly, patient, and always quick to answer our questions or offer advice. The whole process felt so smooth and stress-free thanks to them.

    Lauren was also such a huge help behind the scenes, keeping everything organized and making communication so easy throughout the process. And a special shoutout to Sarah, who did an incredible job staging our home — it looked stunning and definitely helped us attract buyers quickly.

    We’re so happy with how everything turned out and couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through selling and buying. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, down-to-earth agents who genuinely care!

    We had the pleasure of working with Mirna to sell our home. She also helped us with the purchase of our new home. We had an incredible experience with her. Communication was great and she was so helpful throughout the whole process. She made a stressful experience very easy for us. Highly recommend!

    PLEASE STOP!!! BECAUSE YOU HAVE FOUND THE ONE!!!

    A few months ago, we stumbled upon a home. We were not really planning to buy or sell, we were simply browsing online to get ideas for the future and decided to take a tour of this home on a free Saturday afternoon for fun. We were paired with realtor Noelle Gordon.

    She showed us the home and we were in love. We let her know we were interested. Noelle said she will take care of it and we left thinking we would hear from her in a week or so.

    Let me tell you.. Noelle already had spoken to the owner, discussed the issues with this home and negotiated it all. By 5pm, we had signed a conditional offer. I know, sounds like a movie. We could not believe this all happened within a few hours, how she negotiated and brought down the price.

    We were overjoyed, yet I felt quite anxious regarding selling our existing house which felt quite sudden as this was not at all in our plans. We were scratching our heads, we did not know a thing about selling and did not know what to do.

    Right away, Noelle took the lead and set up an appointment with us the same week to discuss and prepare our existing house. She came along with the stager and the owner, Megan Stagg.

    I was worried about this meeting but these ladies made it feel like a breeze. Noelle made sure I understood everything, and reassured me that she will take care of everything. Megan also echoed her words. I felt so at ease with them, it felt like we were friends.

    Keep reading

    Within the week, the existing house was getting prepared to be put up on the market. This team did everything - staging, taking photos, recording videos, reaching out to clients and other realtors, an endless amount of paperwork.

    Our existing house went up on sale, we had showings Friday/Saturday and the house was sold with a bidding war within a day! Noelle was there for all the showings and was available to answer any questions to the clients as well as provide us with all the updates.

    I could not believe how Noelle remained so available to make sure the deal goes through even though it was on a Saturday late night. It truly showed that she put her clients first and foremost.

    Through out the whole process, Noelle was there for us. Any worries? She took it away. Any problems? She solved it. She is kind, patient, caring and extremely knowledgeable.

    I know this review is long but it is needed and I still feel that my words may not be enough to show how unreal this company really is. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would.

    Go with the Reality Group! Go with Noelle Gordon! I promise you that you will be taken care of and you will be in the best hands possible. They will go above and beyond for you. I am truly grateful to have had them do it all for us. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much.

    I recently purchased my first home with Megan’s help, and I am very pleased with the service she provided. Megan distinguishes herself as a realtor through her friendliness, positive energy, and consistent availability—whether for showings or for promptly responding to emails and texts at any time of day or week. Her generosity in sharing guidance and expertise throughout the process was invaluable.

    Megan also brought extensive renovation experience to the table, which she kindly shared to help me make a well-informed investment decision. I greatly appreciated that insight.

    Overall, I would highly recommend Megan as a realtor.

    We worked with Mirna and her team at the Reality group.

    Mirna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made selling my home incredibly easy with her professionalism, clear communication, and expert advice. Her strategy, staging tips, and market knowledge helped my home sell quickly and at a great price. I felt supported and informed every step of the way. If you're selling or buying, I can't recommend Mirna and the Reality Group team enough!

    Megan is an amazing realtor! We bought our first house with her help. She answered all our questions very quickly and was available for house showings very promptly. We felt very supported throughout the whole process. She has extensive knowledge of the Ottawa market and the home-buying process.

    She is also very professional, friendly and kind! We feel very lucky to have bought our first house with her - it was a lot of fun to work with her and we’re really grateful for all of the work she put in!

    We used Megan for both the sale of our condo and purchase of our new house. Megan was able to provide helpful tips for decluttering, stage and photograph well so our condo presented its best, and listed across multiple locations so we got the exposure we needed to sell quickly.

    She has a good eye for issues with houses we went to see and was able to communicate with the selling agents to get us the house we wanted under asking. Super impressed with the thoroughness of the team, communication is top notch!

    Working with Megan and her team at The Reality Group has been a flawless experience. Megan is not only professional, attentive, and knowledgeable about the local market, but also exceptionally friendly, approachable, and deeply dedicated to her clients.

    She took the time to truly understand our needs and went above and beyond, often working late hours and being available whenever we needed her, to ensure that we bought and sold with confidence. Communication was always prompt and clear, and Megan always made us feel like we were her top priority.

    We had such an amazing experience working with Megan and her team to both buy and sell our place. She went so far above and beyond for us. When we were buying, we hit a few trickier negotiations, but Megan guided us through it all smoothly and got us across the finish line.

    We felt so reassured knowing we had her in our corner. Then when we put our house up for sale, we got so much interest that it sold before we even had to host an open house (which is insane considering the current market). Couldn't recommend her more!

    Working with Mya Mahmoud over the past 6 months has been such an incredible experience from start to finish. From December all the way through May, she was consistently patient, attentive, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping us find the right home.

    What stood out the most was how much she genuinely cared. She paid attention to every little detail, always made sure our best interests came first, and never once made us feel rushed or overlooked throughout the process. Whether it was scheduling viewings, answering endless questions, advocating for us, or guiding us through important decisions, she handled everything with professionalism, honesty, and so much care.

    Finding the right home can be stressful and overwhelming, but she made the entire experience feel smooth, supported, and exciting. We always felt like we had someone in our corner fighting for us every step of the way.

    I truly cannot recommend her enough. If you’re looking for a realtor who is hardworking, trustworthy, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about her clients, she is absolutely the person you want by your side.

Ottawa real estate

What our Ottawa real estate agents do for you

Our real estate agents in Ottawa and the GTA help you buy, sell, invest and lease. You work with one dedicated agent, with the whole team behind them: in-house staging and design, premium photography and video with Ground2Air Media, and support staff who keep the appointments and paperwork moving.

Megan Stagg leads our Ottawa team and Ashley Sala leads our team in Toronto and the GTA. Meet the team.

  • Buying a house in Ottawa

    A search built around your priorities, preferred areas and timeline, including off-market and pre-market homes when they are available.

  • Selling your house in Ottawa

    A pricing and launch plan from comparable sales, then preparation, staging, photography and video before your home goes live on the MLS® System.

  • A home evaluation

    A comparative market analysis from one of our agents: what similar homes nearby have sold for, set against your home’s features and condition. It is not an appraisal.

  • Home staging and Seller Concierge

    Staging, styling and interior design in-house through Centre-Staged, with trusted contractors, painters and cleaners for the work before you list.

  • Investment property

    Buying a rental or a home with a second unit, or selling one, weighed against what you need the property to do.

  • Rentals and leasing

    Residential and commercial leasing, with a dedicated agent who guides you to a signed lease.

  • Commercial real estate

    Buying, selling or leasing commercial property in Ottawa or the GTA.

Choosing an agent

How to choose a real estate agent in Ottawa

Interview more than one agent, and ask each of them the same questions. Here are five worth asking, with our answers.

  1. 01 / Which brokerage are you with?

    Every agent on our team works through eXp Realty, Brokerage. In Ontario, agents on a team trade on behalf of the brokerage that employs them, so the brokerage’s name should appear wherever the team advertises.

  2. 02 / Who will I deal with day to day?

    One dedicated agent, backed by the whole team. Our administrative and Inside Sales Agent support helps manage details, respond to inquiries and follow up with prospective buyers throughout the selling process.

  3. 03 / How will you price my home?

    With a comparative market analysis: recent sales of similar homes near you, the homes buyers can choose from today, and your home’s size, layout, condition and updates.

  4. 04 / How will buyers find my home?

    On the MLS® System, across our social channels and through our client database and network. The Reality Group and Northern Alliance have a combined Instagram following of 54,000+ and growing, and Ground2Air Media provides premium photography and video.

  5. 05 / Do you know my part of the city?

    Megan Stagg and Mya Mahmoud were born and raised in Ottawa, and Mirna Botros and Noellee Gordon have called it home since the age of seven. Mirna has a particular expertise in Ottawa’s west end, and Sylvia Kachouh has experience in Orléans, Nepean, Barrhaven, Gloucester and Rockland. Read each story on our team page.

Good questions. Clear answers.

Before your next move.

Who is the best REALTOR® in Ottawa?

Neither RECO, which registers Ontario’s real estate agents, nor the Ottawa Real Estate Board publishes a ranking of agents. So the best agent for you is the one who knows your part of the city, prices your home from recent sales nearby and answers when you call.

What we can show you: our clients rate The Reality Group 5.0 on Google (read on 2026-10-13), Megan Stagg is an eXp ICON agent (August 2025 and July 2026), and every agent on our team works through eXp Realty, Brokerage. Read our client reviews and meet our Ottawa real estate agents.

How do I find the best real estate agent in my area?

Shortlist three or four agents who work in your neighbourhood, and check each one on RECO’s public register to confirm they are registered in Ontario. Then ask every one of them the same questions: which brokerage they are with, who you will deal with day to day, how they will price your home and how buyers will find it.

Read their Google reviews for moves like yours. Each of our Ottawa neighbourhood pages names the agent on our team for that area.

Do you work in both Ottawa and the GTA?

Yes. Megan Stagg leads our Ottawa team and Ashley Sala leads our team in Toronto and the GTA. Both help clients buy, sell and invest, with the whole team’s marketing and support behind them. Meet the team.

Can you help prepare my home for sale?

Yes. Our seller concierge covers in-house staging, styling and interior design, help coordinating contractors, painters and cleaners, and premium photography and video with Ground2Air Media. See the seller concierge services.

I’m buying and selling. Where do I start?

Start with one conversation about both moves. We look at your timeline, a comparative market analysis of your home and what you want next, then plan the order of the sale and the purchase with you. Book a consultation.

Can I start exploring before I’m ready to move?

Yes. Explore the neighbourhoods above, search homes on our page about buying a house in Ottawa, or ask for a comparative market analysis of your home, and talk to us whenever you are ready.

Which Ottawa neighbourhoods do you serve?

Ottawa and the surrounding areas, from Manotick, Barrhaven and Kanata to Orléans, Westboro and the Glebe. Explore the communities above or our guide to Ottawa homes for sale by neighbourhood, and each agent’s bio on our team page names the areas they know.

Do you help with leasing, investment or commercial real estate in Ottawa?

Yes. We help with residential and commercial leasing, with buying or selling an investment property, and with buying, selling or leasing commercial property in Ottawa or the GTA.

Where is your office?

At 75D Colonnade Road North, Nepean, ON K2E 0A8. RStudio, our creative studio and event space, is inside the same office, and clients can meet their agent in our boardroom. Contact The Reality Group.
