“Putting the real in Realtor®…because people matter!”

Devon Babineau is an accomplished business woman with 25+ years in Marketing, Sales, Analytics and Negotiation with two major companies in Atlantic Canada. In her early 30’s, Devon became fascinated with home renovations and after countless hours of watching HGTV, she gained the courage to renovate her own home and started by enrolling in an Interior Design program through the Sheffield School of Interior Design in New York City. Devon also read many renovation “how-to” books and thus learned how to install hardwood flooring and tile, remove and repair walls, remodel kitchens and bathrooms along with how to install drain tile for exterior patios and landscaping projects.

At the end of her corporate career, Devon and her son purchased their first home to renovate and to resell (flip) and to ensure they understood the housing market, Devon obtained her Realtor’s® license. This venture quickly turned into a successful renovation company (The Reno Team Inc. which her son still operates today) and an award winning Real Estate career.

Devon is still flipping houses today (checkout www.facebook.com/renovate2sell for past and current projects) and is setting the pace in local real estate by creating a strong legacy of satisfied clients. Her client-centric approach combined with her extensive knowledge of marketing, local real estate trends, construction and renovation allows her to help those who purchase or sell their home maximize and realize profit.
