Welcome May! I so enjoy bringing you stories, helping you with meal plans and highlighting all we have to offer here on the South Shore. The support of these Simple Local Life sponsors over the past month, allows me to dedicate the time required to continue with this work and the blog. I would encourage you to check out their pages and offerings and consider showing them your support as well!

Susanne Schwalbach, Realtor, Tradewinds Realty Inc.

Susanne Schwalbach believes that home is where you make it. After living in various parts of the province over the last 6 years, Susanne knew she wanted to settle here on the South Shore and help others do the same. Susanne loves Mahone Bay and describes it “like a neighborhood in your favorite city, where no one cares if the rest of the city is there or not”. When she meets people she likes, she’s always trying to sell them a place in Mahone Bay. I love it! 🙂

If you are thinking of selling a home, Susanne can help expose your home to a local and International audience through her marketing in Canada as well as Europe.
