About Margaret Craig

I grew up in Halifax’s West End, so this city holds a special place in my heart. Compared to other parts of Canada, Halifax is a livable city with a low cost of living, short commutes, great public schools and safe communities.

I love being able to share my favourite restaurants, local shops, beaches, and tourist attractions with people putting down roots in this beautiful province.

​I started working in the real estate industry in 2013, when the market was struggling both locally and nationally. During this time, I worked with one of Halifax’s top REALTORS® and learned that selling homes involves much more than putting a sign on the lawn.

The invaluable strategy I learned to list, sell and market properties during a down-market has given my clients a competitive advantage now that the market is so competitive. ​​

During this time, I also gained the experience necessary to successfully match my clients with their dream home.

​​My clients have described me as knowledgeable, professional, patient, detailed, attentive and honest. I hold a Fellow of the Real Estate Industry (FRI) designation and a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from Saint Mary’s University.

When not working with clients, I can be found on adventures with my two dogs, volunteering with the SPCA and playing tourist in my own province. I love trying new restaurants and cafes or enjoying tastings at one of our local wineries or craft breweries. I look forward to connecting with you and helping you achieve your real estate goals.

Engel & Völkers is one of the world’s leading service companies specializing in the brokerage of premium residential property, commercial real estate, yachts and aircraft. Based in over 800 locations in total, Engel & Völkers offers both private and institutional clients a professionally tailored range of services. Consultancy, sales and leasing form the core competences of the staff of more than 12,000 people. The company currently operates in over 30 countries on five continents. Intensive training in its in-house real estate Academy and the high level of quality assurance governing its systematically structured service provision are key factors that account for the company’s success.

​My decision to join Engel & Völkers was driven by changes in the local real estate market. For the first time in years, Nova Scotia is experiencing positive immigration numbers and as a result the number of international buyers in our city and province is growing daily. Engel & Volkers’ EDGE (Extensive Domestic and Global Exposure) platform ensures listings appear on the most popular property search sites and provides access to unparalleled print marketing opportunities, as well as a host of other distinctive marketing measures. 

Advances in technology have changed how we sell homes and I am committed to staying on top of new trends to ensure that your property will reach potential buyers locally and around the world. Your home is where you have enjoyed or will enjoy making memories with friends and family. Buying or selling a home is not only a big financial decision, but an emotional one. It is important that you find a trusted advisor to guide you through the process.
My husband and I have used Margaret's services to purchase our current home in 2014 as well as a piece of land in 2019. For both purchases Margaret was the epitome of professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She was also very responsive, available and flexible.
​She addressed any concerns we had and answered our many questions, especially when it came to buying the land which was invaluable as it was our first time buying vacant land. She assisted us with finding houses/land for viewing, providing options for service providers (lawyers, home inspectors, radon test, etc.), giving "homework"/checklists to ensure we were where we needed to be in the process and so on. We're confident that we wouldn't have received better service anywhere else. Thanks for everything Margaret!
