The Morris Home Team understands that when you buy your home, you buy more than just a house. You also get a community, a place to raise your family, and a sense of well-being. For over 40 years, our strong commitment to successfully relocating families has made us a leader in the local real estate field. Rob Kearns and Patrick Morris, along with their Team of dedicated professionals, are honoured to have once again received the National Chairman’s Club Award, which recognizes the Top 1% of Royal LePage’s 19,000 realtors across Canada. Like many in the community, we know first-hand the effects of dementia on our loved ones and are so very grateful for the help, understanding and compassion shown to us by The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County.
