About Shane MacPherson – Greater Moncton Realtor

I got into real estate because I had terrible realtors.

Seriously. Before I got my license in 2011, I spent years in IT consulting watching deals go sideways, clients get blindsided, and realtors disappear the moment the commission was deposited. I figured if I was going to trust someone with the biggest financial decision of my life, that person better actually know what they're doing.

So I became that person instead.

Fifteen years later I'm still at it, not because I fell into real estate and stuck around, but because I genuinely love helping people connect the dots between what they're envisioning and what's actually possible with the right plan and the right timing. That part never gets old.

What my clients say about me most often:

"Thank you for being so blunt."

"I learned so much."

"I love how thorough you are."

I'll be honest, those are the three things I'm most proud of hearing. Not "you got us the highest price" or "you moved fast." Those matter too. But if you leave the process feeling like you actually understand what happened and why, I've done my job.

What I actually do differently

I work across Greater Moncton and surrounding communities including Moncton, Dieppe, Riverview, Shediac, Irishtown, Salisbury, Memramcook, Cocagne, Notre Dame, Berry Mills, and Lower Coverdale. Residential homes, rural properties, waterfront, land, new construction, first time buyers, relocations, estate sales. I've done it all and I know this market the way you only can after fifteen years of real deals in real neighbourhoods.

My background is in business consulting and information technology. That means I approach real estate analytically. I look at data, I ask the questions others skip, and I explain things in plain language without the smoke and mirrors.

If a home isn't right for you, I'll tell you. If the price is wrong, I'll tell you that too. If the land you're falling in love with has issues that could cost you down the road, you're going to hear about it before you sign anything.

Some clients find that refreshing. Occasionally someone finds it a bit much. Either way, you'll always know where you stand.

A word about land and rural properties

This deserves its own section because most realtors don't talk about it honestly.

Rural land and acreage is the most volatile product in real estate. It's also the easiest way to get into serious trouble if you're working with someone who doesn't know what they're looking at. Service New Brunswick data isn't always accurate. Boundaries, easements, rights of way, wetlands, well and septic requirements, zoning restrictions, these things matter enormously and they're not always obvious from a listing sheet.

I review PID reports, GeoNB mapping, deed histories, and topographic data on every rural and land transaction I'm involved in. I work closely with real estate lawyers and the Department of Environment to make sure my clients understand exactly what they're buying before they're committed to buying it.

If you're looking at rural land or acreage near Moncton, this is not the place to cut corners.

First time buyers and newcomers to New Brunswick

This is where I spend a lot of my time and honestly it's some of the most rewarding work I do.

Buying your first home is overwhelming. There's financing, inspections, negotiations, closing costs, legal requirements, and about a hundred decisions that nobody warned you about. My job is to slow it down, explain each step clearly, and make sure you're never making a decision you don't fully understand.

If you're relocating from Ontario, Alberta, or somewhere outside Canada entirely, add another layer of complexity. Different market conditions, different legal requirements, different expectations about what your money gets you. I've helped dozens of families make that transition and I know the questions you're going to have before you ask them.

One client called me the night they started their search and we talked for hours. By the end of it they knew I was the right fit. That's usually how it works.

No question is too small. No concern is too basic. This is a big deal and you deserve someone who treats it that way.

The honest version of what working with me looks like

I'm going to tell you what I think. Sometimes that means telling you the house you love has problems you haven't noticed yet. Sometimes it means telling you the neighbourhood isn't what you're picturing. Occasionally it means looking at a property, taking a breath, and saying something along the lines of "this one's not for you, let's keep looking."

It’s not just about talking clients out of the wrong house. Sometimes it’s dropping everything to make sure they don’t miss the right one. I’ve delayed family plans on Easter weekend to make sure a client didn’t miss the right house. That’s just how this works.

That kind of honesty is either exactly what you're looking for or it's not your style. Both are fine. But if you want someone who'll give you the full picture and help you make a decision you'll still feel good about five years from now, we should probably talk.
