Ferenc Roos - The Dutch Realtor

09/11/2026

I’m Dutch, and I’m proudly Jewish. Both are part of my story.

At a time when being openly Jewish doesn’t always feel as uncomplicated as it should, I choose to embrace that part of who I am with even more pride.

שנה טובה ומתוקה

A sweet and peaceful new year.

You renovated your kitchen?

Obviously I want to hear all about it.

What did you change? Did you do it yourself? And, most importantly…

We’re not nosy. We’re financially aware.

So I thought I’d share some of those perfectly normal Dutch questions that might make a Canadian wonder, “Did they really just ask me that?”

Starting with a classic.

Because admiring your house is nice, but we also need to know what it costs to heat.

We’re not cheap. We’re financially aware.

Yesterday was one of those days that reminds you just how special Nova Scotia can be.

Kayaking around LaHave, with barely a ripple on the water, sunshine overhead and a few curious seals popping up to see what we were doing.

No big adventure. No grand plan. Just a beautiful summer day on the water and Nova Scotia showing off a little.

Hard to beat this.

And this one?

I think we’re calling the electrician.
