With over eight years of sales experience and a background in real estate, digital marketing, and property management, I bring a strategic, results-driven approach to selling homes in New Brunswick.
I became a licensed Realtor in 2021, after working as a leasing agent for Midtown PM and Ontask Properties (2020-2023), managing properties across the province—including the Acadian Peninsula, Bathurst, Cocagne, Bouctouche, Shediac, Haute-Aboujagane, Dieppe, Moncton, and Sackville. My hands-on experience in these diverse markets gives me an in-depth understanding of local property values, investment opportunities, and buyer trends.
Beyond real estate sales, I am also an investor and entrepreneur. I purchased my first home at just 20 years old and my first investment property at 24 with the help of a partner. In 2024, I acquired my first mixed-use commercial property (six units), and by 2025, I completed my first demolition and full renovation, converting a space into a profitable rental unit. This firsthand experience in flipping, rental management, and real estate investment allows me to provide expert guidance to homeowners looking to maximize their property’s value before selling.
With seven years of experience in digital marketing and website design, I ensure that my clients' properties receive maximum exposure through cutting-edge marketing techniques. I hold a UdeM Digital Marketing Certification (2020) and Knowledge Society Social Media Marketing Certification (2019), giving me a competitive edge in showcasing homes effectively.
A proud CCNB graduate (2020) and a bilingual professional, I am committed to helping sellers achieve top dollar for their properties while providing a seamless, stress-free experience. Whether you’re selling a home, an investment property, or a commercial space, I have the knowledge, experience, and marketing expertise to get it sold—fast and for the best price.
WHY WORK WITH A REALTOR :
Selling your home is a major financial decision, and having the right professional by your side can make all the difference. Here’s why working with a REALTOR® can help you achieve the best results:
One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is overpricing or underpricing their home. A REALTOR® has access to real-time market data and comparative market analysis (CMA) to determine the right price—ensuring your home sells quickly and for the highest possible price.
Selling a home isn’t just about listing it online; it’s about reaching the right buyers. A REALTOR® uses:
✔ High-quality professional photography & videography
✔ Targeted online & social media marketing
✔ MLS (Multiple Listing Service) to get your home in front of thousands of agents & buyers
✔ Open houses & private showings
When offers come in, you need someone who knows how to negotiate effectively. A REALTOR® will:
✔ Analyze offers to ensure they meet your financial goals
✔ Negotiate price & terms to maximize your profit
✔ Protect your interests by identifying hidden contingencies that could cost you money
Selling a home involves contracts, disclosure requirements, and legal documents that must be completed correctly. A REALTOR® ensures:
✔ All paperwork is accurate & legally compliant
✔ You understand your rights & responsibilities
✔ The process is smooth and stress-free
From answering buyer inquiries to coordinating showings and handling negotiations, selling a home is time-consuming. A REALTOR® takes care of the details so you can focus on what matters most.
Many serious buyers work with buyer’s agents, meaning your home has a better chance of being seen by pre-approved, motivated buyers when listed with a REALTOR®.
A REALTOR® connects you with:
✔ Trusted home inspectors
✔ Professional stagers & photographers
✔ Mortgage brokers & lawyers
✔ Contractors for pre-sale improvements
Studies show that homes sold with a REALTOR® typically sell for more money and in less time compared to those sold by owner.
From the initial listing to closing day, a REALTOR® provides expert advice and ensures you get the best outcome possible.
My name is Samuel Theriault, your local REALTOR® and the founder of HomesForSaleMoncton.ca. With years of experience in real estate, digital marketing, and property management, I know that selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. That’s why I want to share honest, transparent advice that many agents don’t.
🚫 "You need a Realtor to sell your home—otherwise, it’s impossible."
✅ Not true! You can sell your home on your own, but it requires significant time, effort, and market knowledge. That’s why many homeowners still choose an experienced agent to handle the heavy lifting.
🚫 "Selling without an agent won’t save you money—buyers will just offer you less."
✅ While some buyers may try to negotiate, you’re under no obligation to accept a low offer. However, working with an agent helps ensure your home is priced strategically, marketed effectively, and attracts qualified buyers willing to pay top dollar.
🚫 "The paperwork is overwhelming—you won’t be able to handle it alone."
✅ The legal and financial aspects of selling a home can be complex, but they can be managed with careful attention—or with the help of a real estate attorney. However, a Realtor takes care of the entire process for you, reducing stress and minimizing risk.
With my background in real estate sales, digital marketing, and property management, I bring a unique approach to maximizing your home’s exposure and ensuring you sell for the best possible price. I have managed properties and transactions across New Brunswick, including:
🏡 Acadian Peninsula | Bathurst | Cocagne | Bouctouche | Shediac | Haute-Aboujagane | Dieppe | Moncton | Sackville
I also have personal investor experience—I bought my first home at 20, my first investment property at 24, and recently completed my first demo and renovation project into a rental unit. This means I understand how to maximize a property’s value—and I can help you do the same before listing.
Selling a home involves more than just listing it—it requires:
✔ Accurate pricing strategies
✔ Expert negotiation skills
✔ Professional marketing & staging
✔ Understanding buyer financing & legal requirements
Most buyers work with an agent because it’s free for them, meaning if you’re selling, you may still want to consider offering a commission to the buyer’s agent to attract more qualified buyers.
THE HOME SELLING PROCESS :
Understand the Local Market
Research recent sales : Look at recent sales in your area to understand how much similar homes to yours are selling for. This will help you set a competitive price.
Local market trends : Be aware of trends in the local market, such as seasonal fluctuations or shifts in buyer preferences.
Get a Free CMA : A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a report used to estimate the value of a property. It compares the property in question to similar homes that have recently sold, are currently on the market, or were on the market but did not sell. The CMA helps sellers and buyers understand market trends, set competitive prices, and make informed decisions
Enhance Curb Appeal
Landscaping : Invest in landscaping to make a great first impression. Simple touches like trimming bushes, planting flowers, and keeping the lawn well-maintained can make a big difference.
Exterior Maintenance : Ensure that the exterior of your home is clean and well-maintained. Consider painting or power washing if needed.
Stage Your Home
Declutter and Depersonalize : Remove personal items and clutter to help buyers envision themselves in the space.
Furniture Arrangement : Arrange furniture to highlight the home’s best features and make rooms appear larger and more inviting
Use Lighting Effectively : Open curtains and blinds to let in natural light, making rooms feel bright and airy
Combine overhead lighting with lamps and accent lights to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Invest in repairs or upgrades
Minor repairs : Fix any minor issues like leaky faucets, broken tiles, or squeaky doors. Small repairs can prevent buyers from feeling like they need to negotiate a lower price.
Smart upgrades : Consider cost-effective upgrades that can increase the home’s value, such as new fixtures, updated hardware, or modernizing the kitchen or bathroom.
Professional photography and virtual tours
High quality photos : Invest in professional photography to ensure your home looks its best online. High-quality photos can attract more buyers and create a stronger first impression.
Virtual tour : Offering virtual tours can make your listing stand out and attract remote buyers
Drone videos and photos: Your property is important! Professional drone shots do a great job to show landscape.
Work with a local Realtor
Local expertise : Choose a real estate agent who is familiar with the Greater Moncton area. They will have insights into local market conditions and buyer preferences
Marketing strategies : A skilled agent can help with targeted marketing strategies to reach potential buyers effectively.
Wide exposure : Realtors use multiple platforms, including MLS (Multiple Listing Service), social media, and their professional networks, to market your property effectively
Handling offers and negotiations : They manage and evaluate offers, handle counteroffers, and navigate through complex negotiations to get you the most favorable deal.
Highlight Special Features
Special features : If your home has unique features like a finished basement, home office, pool or energy-efficient upgrades, make sure to highlight these in your listing.
Price strategically
Competitive pricing : Set a competitive price based on market research and your agent’s advice. Pricing too high can deter buyers, while pricing too low might leave money on the table.
Below market value : In some cases, pricing slightly below market value can create a bidding war, driving the final sale price higher.
Understanding Closing costs :

Example: On a $400,000 sale, 5% commission = $20,000 (plus HST).
