Sell with Strategy. Move with Confidence.
When you’re selling your home, you’re not just parting with a property you’re closing one chapter and opening another. It’s a personal move, a financial move, and sometimes, a deeply emotional one. My job is to guide you through that process with clarity, honesty, and results that truly move you forward.
I’m Rainer Bruchhaeuser, a lifelong Ottawa resident, REALTOR®, and former award-winning carpenter. I don’t just know this market I know what makes a home stand out, what buyers look for, and what gets you the strongest possible return.
Have Questions Right Now?
What Selling With Me Looks Like
Clear, Honest Advice
I’ll walk through your home with you and give straight-up advice on what to fix, what to forget, and what will truly boost your value. No fluff. No pressure.
Strategic Pricing
I use current market data, comparable homes, and buyer behavior to price your home to win without leaving money on the table.
Professional Marketing
Your listing gets full exposure with professional photography, targeted online ads, compelling descriptions, and promotion through my local network.
Skilled Negotiation
When offers come in, I go to bat for you. From counteroffers to conditions, I protect your interests and keep the deal on track.
Should I Renovate Before Selling?
Maybe. Maybe not. This is where my background really pays off.
As a licensed carpenter for over a decade, I can spot what’s worth doing and what’s not before you spend a dime. I help sellers avoid over-improving or overlooking small upgrades that can make a major impact.
Sometimes a coat of paint is enough. Sometimes you don’t need to touch a thing.
Local Knowledge. Real Results.
I’ve helped clients sell homes across Ottawa urban semis, suburban family homes, country properties, and income units. I know what’s selling where, who’s buying it, and what they’ll pay for it.
Selling in Westboro? Buyers expect designer finishes and move-in ready
Glebe or Old Ottawa South? Heritage charm is a premium—but so is smart layout
Barrhaven or Orleans? Young families are looking for turn-key, light, and space
Kanata or Stittsville? Curb appeal and commuter access are king
