Darlene McGinnis - Broker - RE/MAX 🏡 Find your dream home in Ottawa!✨Taking the stress out of selling, one happy client at a time. The Ottawa area is a great place to live and work!

Originally from a tiny little town in Quebec, I’ve called Ottawa, with its varied cultures, food and traditions, home for 37 years now. Real estate is my passion; my diverse background working in insurance, security, marketing and even dolphin training, makes it is easy to see why more than 27 families trusted me in 2022 for help buying and selling. I’ve been a part of the REMAX Absolute Realty fa

mily for almost 5 years, and working in real estate for over 10 years. But it isn’t all about helping families find their next home. I love to give back by donating regularly to CHEO and the Heart Institute (in memory of my family) and collecting household items (sometimes purged items from clients) to donate to a local women's shelter and Matthew house who gives items to the less fortunate. Ottawa community events and the people in the community are an ongoing part of my life. I love meeting new people and helping them either find their dream home if they are a buyer and if they are a Seller I love taking away a lot of the stress that comes with selling your home. I will do everything that I can to get the job done and make my clients happy, going above and beyond real estate.

🏡 If I were buying a house in 2026, here’s what I’d want to know…

Not just the price, but the real monthly costs. Not just how it looks, but what’s been updated and what may need attention next. I’d want to understand the neighbourhood, the long-term value, and what many buyers overlook until it’s too late.

Buying a home is a big life decision. Having the right information makes all the difference.

Winter in the capital is anything but boring. Book a night at Le Petit Chef for an unforgettable dining experience, bundle up for a drive-through adventure at Parc Omega, sing along at the Michael Bublé concert, and of course, take in the magic of the Rideau Canal.

Cold days, unforgettable plans... Ottawa does winter weekends right.
