Meet Steve Sicard

Local Experience, Personal Service and Guidance Built Around You

I’m Steve Sicard, an Orléans REALTOR® and Seniors Real Estate Specialist® with RE/MAX Hallmark Realty Group. Since 2007, I have helped people buy and sell homes throughout Orléans and Ottawa with clear advice, personal service and a plan shaped around what matters most to them.

My work is about more than completing a transaction. It is about understanding why you are moving, what your family needs and how your home can better support the life you want to live.

Steve Sicard: REALTOR® | SRES® | Orleans-Ottawa

My Approach

I believe good real estate guidance begins with listening.

Before recommending a strategy, I take the time to understand:

  • Why you are considering a move
  • What is working—and not working—in your current home
  • Who is involved in the decision
  • Your budget and financial priorities
  • Your preferred timing
  • The space, location and lifestyle features that matter most
  • Any work, school, family or accessibility considerations
  • What you want life to feel like after the move

I will explain the market and process in straightforward language, help you anticipate the important decisions and keep you informed throughout the transaction.

You remain in control. My role is to provide the information, advice, organization and advocacy you need to move forward with confidence.

Helping Families Buy and Sell Since 2007

Real estate transactions involve many moving parts: market conditions, pricing, financing, property condition, legal documents, deadlines, negotiations and coordination with other professionals.

Experience helps bring those parts together.

When you are buying, I help you develop practical criteria, monitor opportunities, evaluate homes carefully and prepare an offer strategy based on the property and current market. When you are selling, I help you decide how to prepare, establish a pricing and marketing strategy, present the home professionally and manage the process through closing.

Depending on your needs, my support may include:

  • A personalized buying or selling plan
  • Current Orléans and Ottawa market information
  • Property searches and neighbourhood comparisons
  • Pricing and market analysis
  • Advice on repairs and improvements
  • Pre-listing home inspection
  • Professional staging consultation
  • Professional photography, video and floor plans
  • MLS® and digital marketing
  • Showing and feedback coordination
  • Offer review and negotiation
  • Electronic documents and signatures
  • Transaction coordination through closing
  • Connections with appropriate local professionals

Why I Serve Orléans and Area

Orléans is more than a market I work in. It is the community where I live, build relationships and stay involved.

The area offers a diverse mix of neighbourhoods, homes and lifestyles. A family may be looking for more space and nearby schools. A professional may need a practical commute and a home office. Someone arriving from another city may want help understanding how established communities compare with newer development. A longtime homeowner may be preparing to sell and wants advice grounded in what buyers are responding to locally.

Those needs cannot be served well by treating every property or neighbourhood as interchangeable. Local guidance means understanding the housing stock, nearby amenities, current competition and the less obvious details that can affect how well a home fits.

My goal is to help you connect those local realities to your priorities so you can make a confident decision.

Connected to the Community

I believe local business is built through participation, service and genuine relationships.

My community involvement has included supporting the Orléans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre, membership in the Orléans Chamber of Commerce, service on the Board of Directors for the Ottawa Chapter of CARP and participation in the Ottawa Visitability Task Force.

I also visit Willowbend Retirement Community every two weeks with my dog, Douggy. He enjoys the attention, and I enjoy the conversations and connections that grow from seeing people regularly.

These experiences keep me connected to the people, organizations and different stages of life that make up our community.

A Little More About Me

When I’m not working, you may find me reading, cycling, hiking, walking Douggy, building LEGO® or listening to classic rock.

I’m also an avid hockey fan. I’m originally from Montreal, so: Go Habs Go!

Seniors Real Estate Specialist®

My experience helping with my mother’s affairs gave me personal insight into how housing, family, finances and future care needs can become connected. It led me to earn the Seniors Real Estate Specialist® designation and develop a dedicated resource for seniors and their families.

Let’s Talk About Your Plans

You do not need to have everything figured out before contacting me. Our first conversation can simply be a chance to discuss what you are considering, ask questions and decide whether working together feels like the right fit.

There is no obligation and no pressure to make an immediate decision.
