At The Pike Group, we believe that the essence of our journey lies in passion and dedication. My story began in 2010 when, against all odds, I embarked on a new career in the real estate industry at the age of 40. The decision to start anew in a city where I knew only a handful of people may have seemed crazy to some, but for me, it was the leap of faith that led to a remarkable journey.
From the moment I stepped into the world of real estate, I knew I had found my true calling. My mantra became "Stay Humble. Hustle Hard." This motto was not just words but the foundation of my work ethic. I understood that success in real estate required unwavering commitment and a relentless drive to excel.
Over the years, I have achieved numerous milestones that have set me apart from other real estate agents. Let's take a closer look at some of these significant achievements:
In 2012, we took a significant step by launching our Facebook business page and blog. This move was more than just establishing an online presence; it was about providing valuable content to homebuyers and sellers. My continuous blogging on topics relevant to our audience quickly propelled us to the top ranks among agents in Halifax.
The year 2014 marked a pivotal moment for us. I not only witnessed the evolution of The Pike Group but also spearheaded a change in the marketing landscape of Halifax. I introduced walk-through videos for our sellers, a practice that has since become the norm for most agents in the city. This innovative approach not only showcased our dedication to staying ahead but also provided our clients with a distinct advantage in the market.
As we continued to grow, our reach expanded beyond borders. While speaking to an audience of 6,000 agents internationally about the merits of social media advertising, I had the honor of being introduced to the head of Facebook Messenger in California. This encounter led to us becoming the first agents in the world to integrate Messenger on our website. It was a testament to our commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements in the real estate industry.
In 2018 and 2019, we harnessed the power of Artificial Intelligence not only for branding but also to maximize social exposure for our sellers' listings. This forward-thinking approach allowed us to stand out and provide our clients with an unparalleled level of service.
Our journey has been punctuated by awards and recognition that highlight our dedication and expertise. From being named Atlantic Canada's Top Team to ranking in the top 1% nationally within Royal LePage Canada, we have consistently delivered exceptional results. Since 2014, we have maintained our position as one of Metro's Top 3 ranking agents and have been featured in Top Agent Magazine.
The question you may be asking is, "Why should I choose The Pike Group to sell or buy my home?" The answer is simple yet profound.
For us, being a one-hit wonder is the last thing we aspire to be. When you purchase a home through us, our goal goes beyond providing excellent service – that's a given. We want your home to be MARKETABLE when the time comes for you to sell. Life is unpredictable, and we want your dream house to be a reputable and easy sell if and when the time comes. We thrive on competition and are extremely competitive when it comes to selling your home. Our aim is to ensure you receive the most exposure and the most creative marketing, translating to TOP DOLLAR and SHORTER LISTING TIME.
In conclusion, The Pike Group isn't just a real estate team; it's a commitment to excellence, a journey of passion, and a relentless pursuit of innovation. We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your real estate goals. Let's GET'ER DONE!
Of all the crazy things I could do, I launched a new career at the age of 40 in a city that I only knew a handful of people. What was I thinking?
Reminiscing of the day I joined real estate in July 2010, I knew this was going to be the career for me. Work hard. Hustle. Grind. Verbs and Adjectives, that were very familiar to me over the years in anything I set out to do. Real Estate was going to be no different.
Over the span of my career, I was able to set and meet several milestones that would place me apart from most agents.
Who would have thought I would find the love of my life in my late 40s. Ben and I have been together since late 2017. If there was ever a man who not only challenged me to grow, inspires me to be everything I can while making me laugh, it is certainly this guy.
We moved to West Bedford in 2021 with our 2 puppies Daisy and Buttons. You can find us hanging out in the kitchen entertaining our neighbours or out back enjoying the yard.
We have won several accolades over the years, from Atlantic Canada’s Top Team to Nationally ranking at 1% within Royal LePage Canada. Since 2014 I have been one of Metro’s TOP 3 ranking agents.
2012 was the launching of Facebook Business. By continuous blogging and growth of sphere I quickly shot up the ranks within the agents of Halifax.
In 2014, not only did The Pike Group evolve, we were the first agents to change the course of marketing for Halifax. We began the introduction of walk thru videos for our sellers. Which as you can attest, is the norm for most agents here in the city.
Fast forward to 2017 while speaking internationally to 6000 agents the merits of social media advertising, I found myself being introduced to the head of Facebook Messenger in California who granted us the use of Messenger on our website. We were the first agents EVER in the world to have this application. It truly was an honor.
2018 through to 2019 allowed us the opportunity to engage with Artificial Intelligence not only for branding purposes but to get maximum social exposure for our seller’s listings.
I am a native Newfoundlander who is the only child of Martha and Joe. My background is very humbling. My Mother worked at our local fishplant and my Father at the shipyard. If I was to learn anything as a child, it was to: Work hard. Stay Focused. Be happy and above all, it was to believe in yourself.
In 1988, I left the Rock in pursuit of becoming a police officer. The Ontario lights were calling. It was in Ontario that I decided to pursue university then college. Once graduating from Law and Security, I worked in group homes learning conflict crisis resolution. It was during this time, I realized I did not have the courage to pursue a career in law enforcement.
Fast forward 20 years, to a move that would find me living back in Atlantic Canada where I began my real estate career.
I am a firm believer in who we were yesterday, makes us who we are today. I have overcome many challenges and climbed many mountains to be where I am no. No regrets, only a sense of gratitude and appreciation.
For those of you who know me, appreciate that I am overly competitive and love to win. However, I will tell you my biggest win in real estate is time spent with my family; one thing I have never taken for granted.
Writing a bio is so difficult. How does one sum up in a hundred words or so the perfect ones to attract a client? UGG. As you see, I suck….. but that is just at writing and not selling your home….. I am a rockstar, just ask Mom.Writing a bio is so difficult. How does one sum up in a hundred words or so the perfect ones to attract a client? UGG.

Holly Hornibrook
We saw that Sandra had five star reviews and we wondered what would set apart one agent from the rest but after having Sandra as our agent it was really obvious why she had 5 stars! She knew the market, knew the right price and called it right from the start, she sent us weekly videos with the stats on our home about what kind of buyers were out there, her team did an amazing job marketing our home and found the perfect buyer in an uncertain market quickly. Her and her team were really responsive to requests. We felt heard and best of all sold our home for a good price. Oh we loved her stagers ideas too! Thanks Sandra!
Kirsten Fraser
Sandra conducts herself professionally and is committed to providing a complete and honest service as a realtor. She will provide you with the attention you require to either sell or buy your property! Qualities that rank Sandra as one of the top agents in a very competitive sales industry. She's always on her "game"!
Rocksteady
Sandra was an absolute professional from start to finish. Her communication with me was exemplary and her process amazing. Real estate can be both amazing and stressful, Sandra made it a lot more amazing than stressful. You want your home sold the right way or you want to by one like that, Sandra is the only call you need to make.
Sean McKenna
Sandra and her team are the best. A hurricane couldn’t stop her from selling my house.
Seriously though Sandra is amazing she is what you want from a realtor. She kept us well informed, and she is so personable and easy to talk to it was an incredibly easy process.
Big thanks to the Pike group.
Will Pay
Sandra was a terrific agent. She listened closely to my family's needs and found us a home that wasn't even listed. She also connected us with key trades to do some cosmetic changes and make it our home. Finally, she helped us to manage effectively a challenging seller--grateful for her work!
Jennifer Andrews
A top notch led team who make things happen. Sandra listened to my expectations and then discussed with me as to how she and her team could help best achieve them. Sandra laid out a path forward and kept me informed as it was followed. If something needed to be done, she always explained the reasoning for it.
Harry Brow
I was seeking a realtor to sell my father's house in Nova Scotia and I was living in the Calgary area at this time. I spoke to a realtor in Calgary who recommended Sandra Pike and I never looked back. My initial contact was positive and I was impressed by her professionalism, courtesy and her knowledge of the market. Sandra and her team worked very hard to get the best results. I was updated regularly and Sandra always displayed excellent listening skills with a high level of integrity. I would recommend Sandra Pike and her team.
scott cuzner
Moving to Nova Scotia was very exciting but also an overwhelming endeavour! Sandra was so wonderful in guiding me to purchase my new home. With the competition so keen and the shortage of inventory, I’m certain that her extensive experience and wonderful connections in the industry was invaluable in helping me purchase the home of my dreams. I consider Sandra not just my real estate agent but also my friend who will go above and beyond to help you feel at home here in the HRM. A huge thank you Sandra!!
Joanne Clarke
Sandra and her team exceeded our expectations. They were always available to answer questions and kept us in the loop every step of the process. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us through any changes or adjustments we requested. After only a few weeks, many phones calls, and even more emails, Sandra had us a buyer. Choosing Sandra and her team was the right choice, no question.
James Slaunwhite
Sandra and her team are friendly, efficient and negotiated a higher price than I expected for my condo. The virtual tour was amazing. I received clear details on process and helpful hints to make the transaction as smooth as possible. I highly recommend working with The Pike Group for the sale or purchase of your home.
Tracey Beattie
It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Sandra Pike, there is no question that Sandra is a consummate real estate professional with proven results for her clients.
Every client I have referred to her has come to me with a glowing review of her knowledge and attention to each client’s individual requirements by building personal and lasting relationships.
Because of this we love referring our clients to Sandra, with her we know that they are in the safest and most competent hands.
Marnie Bennett
Really helpful, available and took the time to answer all my questions. We have used Sandra's services twice now and we highly recommend her for your home buying and selling needs.

Daniel R
I cannot say enough about Sandra and her team. From the moment we touched base with questions about listing our home to the moment we watched that SOLD sign, we felt the energy, dedication and enthusiasm and felt confident that we were in the right hands. Selling your home is a stressful and emotional process, Sandra made us feel at ease right away by being available, supportive and resourceful. Our home was marketed, staged and sold in 3 weeks. Each step of the way, we were kept informed and guided by her team which helped us relax. The fact that we laughed through the whole thing from start to finish is what really made our experience unforgettable. If you want the best experience, you get the best realtor and we certainly recommend the Pike Group. You won't regret it.
Elizabeth Roberts
Update to my previous review: Again I'm pleased to say that Sandra did an outstanding job as our Agent. She gave us excellent advice and her team did everything possible to help us prepare our home for market. In just a couple of days we had 9 offers, all over asking price, and we made a deal that was better than we had thought possible. I would highly recommend her and her team whether you are selling or buying - she is the best realtor I have ever worked with.
Used Sandra and her team when we moved to Halifax to buy here. So impressed with their dedication and professionalism that we are using them again to sell now that we are preparing to leave again.
Jennifer Gosse
Thanks to Sandra and The Pike Group for making our Home sale experience an absolute pleasure! Our Home sold in 3 days at a great price and even though selling your family home can be a very emotional experience, the service and communication from the Pike group during this whole process, made the experience so much LESS stressful.
Derrick Reyner
I was referred to Sandra from a neighbour. She sold my home exceptionally fast. There were approximately 16 high bids over asking price. It seems like I was sitting at my kitchen table with her one day talking about selling my home, the next it was sold. I am very overwhelmed over how fast my home sold. Loved the strategy of the early bird sign to get interest before the house sold. Loved all the pictures and the pamphlets she prepared. Sandra and her team are very professional.
Cathy White
As a military family being posted into Halifax, we we're also about to become first time home owners too. We were very overwhelmed at how to even begin the process to buying a first time home. We were provided with a refined search after pin-pointed the area we wanted to live. A list of homes we could look at while still in another province. Once we chose a few homes, we were given a virtual tour of the home. With only a short house-hunting trip, the virtual tours saved us a lot of time, so we could focus on the ones we were really interested in. During the house hunting, we were really well taken care of, and viewed and found the home we fell in love with, an ocean-view semi in Eastern Passage. We would have never been able to accomplish any of this without the help of Sandra and her team and we are grateful. I can assure you, Sandra is the best choice, especially for military families being posted in!
Karly Barker
My wife and I had the pleasure of dealing with Sandra's team to purchase our new home in Cole Harbour. They had a strong knowledge of the market and our needs in a home. We were living in Toronto at the time and the Pike group made sure the transition was easy- no simple task. They were professional and strong negotiators which made a large difference in the final purchase price. Yet, my family remembers the small things... tedious paperwork was completed for us, advance showings of the home were made available (as travelled home), a professional cleaning service for when we moved in and amazing follow ups over the past 3 years. Sandra and her team were a great choice for us.
Robert Gillis
Thought I would update my review - Sandra continues to support us and now she is my top agent to refer my friends and family to. The most impressive thing that I have found that stands out above all others - and yes there have been many - having bought or sold many houses prior to Sandra and her team, is her attention to detail, creativity and tenacity. Absolutely the best team out there!.
Sandra and her team were awesome in selling not one but 3 of my houses in the last 3 years. Great attention to detail, strong marketing made for quick sales, great prices, and solid communication and ease throughout the whole selling process. Will definitely be using the Pike team again!
Karen Fegarty
I had the pleasure of working with Sandra to sell my home in 2017. I was overwhelmed at the thought of selling a home and everything that would have to be done, in all honesty I didn't even know where to start. That was all for nothing. One call to Sandra and she took care of everything. She provided excellent feedback and guidance. She walked me through everything step by step. She was extremely responsive and made my home-selling experience a good one. I would call Sandra without hesitation if I ever sell a home again. I highly recommend Sandra!
Dana Jasper
This was the third realtor we have worked with. The entire process from preparing to list to the final sale was very swift, professional and without issue. The listing photos were high quality, included a video (with a drone) and a staging consult. Would use again. All the staff were great.
Claire McIntyre
Sandra helped me sell my first home which as a first time seller was quite an experience. Sandra met with me and clearly shared all of the steps required in the process, while providing excellent documentation and rationale for pricing, competitors etc. Sandra and her team worked with me through the sale process always providing feedback, updates and clear communication. The added touches of the videos, decor staging and updates were big helps! Thank you for everything!
Bridget Milne
Sandra Pike was recommended to me when I was struggling to sell our acreage in Fall River. From the day I called her - to the day she sold it for us, she was informative, professional, responsive and she worked harder than any realtor I've ever worked with. (I've bought and sold several homes in my lifetime). I would recommend Sandra and her team in a heartbeat, if you are buying or selling around the Halifax area. We've already contacted her to find our retirement property for us...:)
Joy Resch
Our family is in the Military and posting season can be very stressful. We were lucky enough to find Sandra as an agent. She committed herself to us for the week we had to find a house and things were still stressful, but we felt confident in her advice. We ended up in a location that was not even on our radar and are super happy we did. Thanks for helping us find a great home, we could not be happier.
Scott Hocquard
Sandra is an incredible realtor. We were moving from Toronto to the HRM and it took something like 4 trips before we found the place for us. Sandra was so determined to find us the perfect home. We lost one place but found something even better suited to us. Sandra never seemed fed up and never lost patience with us which was amazing. We now wake up to this beautiful view of the Bedford Basin each day (and I can enjoy yoga on the balcony). Since moving in we updated the kitchen to truly make it into OUR home. Can't thank Sandra enough.
Shari Burnard Ostrom
Sandra and her team are amazing at what they do! Working with her to buy our first home was smooth and effortless. She is exactly who you want negotiating on your behalf.Really helpful, available and took the time to answer all my questions. We have used Sandra's services twice now and we highly recommend her for your home buying and selling needs. You never have to wonder what she is doing or how things are going. She is always in touch with updates and communication. She is up front, on your side and will close that deal for you with your priorities being her top concern. You will only have regrets if you don't pick Sandra!
Andrea McAllister
I had to sell my home when I suddenly became confined to a wheelchair. Sandra handled every detail for me, including assistance with an interior decorator to make the house look better for sale, cleaners to help me after I moved, and any other detail I could not handle myself. She came straight to my home for any and all meetings knowing how difficult it was wise for me to get out. Sandra was very professional and obviously knew her trade. My house sold within 48 hours and I couldn’t have been happier! Carole
Carole Arsenault
Sandra was recommended by a realtor where I live in Ontario. Being out of province I was really worried about how a sale would work, especially during a pandemic. Sandra was fantastic to work with. She was responsive, gave me a clear sense of work that needed to be done, helped trades get access to the house when needed since I wasn’t there, and kept me updated as things progressed. She was spot on in predicting final sale price. Sandra is very knowledgeable and has a good grasp of the market and what helps to sell and is also lovely to interact with. I would definitely hire her again
JD Marcox

Morgen Cobb
We are moving from Ontario and needed a realtor in Halifax. Found Sandra and the rest is history. Sandra found us exactly the house we were looking for in the area we wanted. Sandra went above and beyond to find us the house and provided a virtual tour of the house that we could view from the comfort of our own home. Would recommend Sandra anytime. Thanks for everything Sandra!!!!!
John Thompson
Sandra and her team did a fantastic job. The house I was selling, was an estate sale. I am based in Asia, but that was never an issue. With Sandra's professionalism & great communication skills, I was never out of the loop. They took care of everything. My only input was to call my lawyer
to advise of a successful sale, and collect the money. I highly recommend Sandra & her team. 5 stars !!!Really helpful, available and took the time to answer all my questions. We have used Sandra's services twice now and we highly recommend her for your home buying and selling needs. You never have to wonder what she is doing or how things are going. She is always in touch with updates and communication. She is up front, on your side and will close that deal for you with your priorities being her top concern.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sandra to sell & purchase multiple properties over the years. She approaches every property with the same type of professionalism. Her marketing and can do attitude is second to none. I have recommended Sandra to multiple family members, friends and clients and all of them have had nothing but positive results and great things to say. If you are buying or selling a home in Nova Scotia I would recommend getting in touch with Sandra.
