When you’re ready to make one of life’s biggest decisions—buying or selling a home in Halifax Regional Municipality to Colchester County and everywhere in between—you want a trusted realtor in your corner who truly understands the market, the process, and what matters most to you. That’s where Rob Lough, your experienced Halifax real estate agent and Broker/Owner of Century 21 Optimum Realty, makes all the difference.

A Foundation Built on Nearly Two Decades of Experience

As a dedicated Colchester County Realtor®️with nearly 20 years in Nova Scotia real estate, Rob brings something unique to the Halifax real estate market: a comprehensive understanding of properties that goes far beyond the typical realtor’s expertise. Before transitioning into real estate, Rob spent five years as a professional home inspector, giving him an insider’s perspective on what makes a house truly valuable—and what potential issues to watch for.

Now, Rob is excited to welcome his daughter Alexa Lough to the Century 21 Optimum Realty team, bringing fresh energy and a new generation perspective to the family business. Together, they combine decades of experience with innovative approaches to serve Halifax and Colchester County clients even better.

“My background in home inspection gives my clients a significant advantage when working with a Halifax real estate agent,” Rob explains. “I can spot things during property viewings that others might miss, helping buyers make informed decisions and sellers address concerns before they become deal-breakers.”

This unique combination of inspection expertise and real estate knowledge has helped countless families find their perfect homes in Halifax Regional Municipality and surrounding areas. With Alexa now joining the team, clients benefit from a dynamic father-daughter partnership that combines Rob’s extensive experience with Alexa’s fresh insights into modern home buying trends and technology-driven marketing approaches. Whether you’re a first-time buyer searching for a starter home in Dartmouth or looking to sell your family property in Truro, Rob’s dual expertise provides invaluable insights that typical realtors simply cannot offer.

His deep understanding of local schools, commute patterns, future development plans, and community amenities ensures you get insider knowledge that makes a real difference in your buying or selling decision.

More Than Just Real Estate Transactions

What sets Rob apart as your Halifax real estate agent is his commitment to treating every client like family. In an industry where transactions can feel impersonal, Rob focuses on building relationships and understanding what home truly means to each client.

“Real estate isn’t just about properties—it’s about people’s dreams, their futures, their families,” Rob shares. “I take that responsibility seriously, which is why I’m involved in every step of the process, from initial consultation to closing day and beyond.”

This people-first approach has resulted in numerous success stories across Halifax and Colchester County.
