Relocating to PEI

In 2022, I made the choice to move "home" to PEI — relocating from the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. But this last move wasn't my first. For me, relocation has been a common practice since I was 8 years old.

I've relocated for my dad's work, for my own work, for my husband's work, for mental health reasons, for adventure, for family, for school. I've moved to the next province, across the country, across the border, across the ocean. I've been the one standing by while movers pack up a house, and I've been the one packing it myself.

So today, as your REALTOR®, I take these DECADES of relocation knowledge and put them to work for you.

❋ Network of Professionals

I have a network of professional advisors to help you through the process of getting situated. From inspectors to lawyers to who to reach out to at the school when you have questions - let us get you the answers you need to make sure you are ready for the upcoming move.

❋ Boots on the ground

Often times, you are not here for most of the process - so I am your eyes, ears and boots. I am attending to everything that you cannot. And I do not take that trust that you are putting in me lightly. 

❋ Community Building

PEI is a tight-knit community and it is important for you to feel like you have a community of people that you can connect with. There is a community of new comer’s to PEI on Facebook that support each other through every step of the relocation process. Check it out by clicking on the link below:

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes - in fact, I offered on my current home while living in NS. For buyers who are unable to be here for the buying process, I am your boots on the ground and island eyes for the entire process. From video/virtual walk throughs of the property, attending the inspection for you, and sharing my list of vetted professionals, I am able to ensure that you are getting the right house from afar.

  • Short answer - of course. The detailed answer is a bit more complex than a yes or no. It depends on a lot of factors and I know how to navigate the process.

  • It depends on your search, but once an offer is accepted, [your typical range, e.g. 30–60 days] to closing is common.

    Planning a move from away? Start the conversation a few months ahead so you have time to get pre-approved, learn the areas, and line up your dates.

  • This is a much more complex question that just rent or buy.

    What is your timeline? How long will you be on PEI for? Have you been to PEI before? Do you need to be in a specific community? What are you home goals? Those are just a couple of the questions that I will ask to help you make the right decision for you and your family.

  • It depends on what you want day to day: walkability, school, commute, or a bit more space. Should I Live in Charlottetown, Stratford, or Cornwall? walks through the differences, and I’m happy to talk it through with you.

  • Plan for it before you move. Family doctors aren’t easy to get right away, so knowing your options for walk-in clinics and virtual care ahead of time makes a big difference. Getting Medical Care in PEI covers what to set up in advance.

Relocation Reviews

  • Blue Door Properties is an amazing team that made our home search in PEI effortless. Because of Brooke and Amy's expertise and insight, we were 100% comfortable looking at homes remotely, and purchased our house sight-unseen. They gave us video and zoom tours of properties all over the island, and provided us with extremely thorough and honest assessments. We are happily living in a picturesque farmhouse on this fantastic island, and I would recommend Blue Door Properties to anybody else who wishes to make the same move.

  • Brooke and Amy were absolutely incredible during our cross-country move. In June 2025, my husband and I moved from Manitoba to PEI, and they made it a seamless experience buying a house. Before we'd even sold our MB home, they were having calls with us about what to expect in terms of PEI housing market, pricing, and the ins and outs of closing our sale. They went above and beyond recommending a lawyer, advising on how to find our closing fees, where to find insurance, etc. - all things that we've never had a realtor do on our behalf. When we arrived in PEI, Brooke blocked off a ton of her time to take us to different houses. She was honest about the pros and cons of each house, and took into account what we were looking for rather than just pushing for a sale. When we found a house we loved, she dropped everything to make sure it would be ours. She negotiated on our behalf to have a few additional updates thrown into the closing price, too - something she didn't have to do, but which we appreciated greatly. We felt very well taken care of by Brooke and Amy throughout the entire process. Not only were they awesome during the move/buying process, but they've also followed up multiple times since we moved in, just to see how we're liking the house and the island. They even sent us a cute little Christmas ornament. :) I would recommend Blue Door Properties to anyone looking to buy a house! These realtors will treat you fairly, make you feel welcome, and work hard to find out where you'll be happiest on the island. For two mainlanders heading to the island for the first time, they were exceptional to work with, highly communicative, and just generally delightful folks. We'll definitely be using them if we ever move again!

  • Brooke and Amy were absolutely incredible to work with. My wife and I were navigating an international move to Prince Edward Island on a tight timeline, and they handled every challenge with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. From coordinating logistics to answering our endless questions, they made what could have been a very stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable. They consistently went above and beyond, and it was clear that they truly care about their clients and their work. We felt supported every step of the way and are incredibly grateful that we had them guiding us through the process. If you are looking for a real estate team that is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly invested in helping you succeed, I cannot recommend Brooke and Amy highly enough.
