Glenn Rea

Hi, I'm Glenn Rea

I’ve been in real estate since 2013, but before that I worked in the restaurant industry for 25 years after studying theatre performance at York University. I worked as a server, bartender, and manager, eventually working for 16 years as GM of Lone Star Texas Grill (I love serving people and making them happy). Both restaurant life and the theatre world honed many skills required in real estate, including communication, time management, marketing, and attention to details.

Hi, I'm Glenn Rea

I’ve been in real estate since 2013, but before that I worked in the restaurant industry for 25 years after studying theatre performance at York University. I worked as a server, bartender, and manager, eventually working for 16 years as GM of Lone Star Texas Grill (I love serving people and making them happy). Both restaurant life and the theatre world honed many skills required in real estate, including communication, time management, marketing, and attention to details.

My favourite thing about working in real estate is helping people start their next chapter, and making them happy along the way. I’m rewarded by the opportunity to educate, protect and serve clients. I love being creative and marketing homes to help make them look their best so our sellers make the most money possible.

Our team is compassionate, empathetic, and really cares about each other and our clients.

Working in real estate is better as a part of Caldwell & Co. Everyone is super supportive, smart and fun! Many different skillsets and talents come together to compliment each other so everyone is successful.

Kingston Fun Fact: This city is in the top 10 list of cities in North America for the number of restaurants and bars per capita. The quality dining and entertainment available here is often one of the biggest surprises to people who move into our area!

In The Community

I’ve participated in the Kingston Waterfront Rotary Club for 12 years and counting, and serve as Awesome Kingston Trustee for the last 10 years and counting. I’m also a proud Community Theatre Alumni.

Outside Of Real Estate

I’ve been an active member in the Kingston community theatre world for decades as an actor, director, and playwright. There are many awesome theatre groups in the area, and I still choreograph stage combat for Domino Theatre shows annually. Thousand Island Playhouse and Theatre Kingston are also excellent professional companies putting on world class productions.

"Excellent experience moving to Kingston! It was a short-deadline, no-fail move and not really a buyer's market. Jake, Anne, Glenn & the of the team rallied to find exactly the house we wanted in Strathcona Park, in our tight timeframe."

"Glenn's calm, confident, and personal approach made us feel certain that we were in the best hands possible as we embarked on such a major life event. Selling our home of 30 years was a difficult choice. Glenn's patient, thoughtful, and supportive way certainly made the process easier than we might have thought it would be. From the very beginning we felt that Glenn had a current and broad understanding of real estate and legal applications to give us all the support we needed in making the challenging decisions of selling our home. Glenn always made us feel we could rely on him for a professional, considered opinion but never made us feel pressured to make one choice over another. Our unique situation required an understanding of many elements of the real estate process. Glenn made us feel confident that he had the knowledge, skills, and contacts to help us make all our decisions. We toured dozens of homes in our search for the perfect match. Glenn was always excited and supportive for every new visit as we checked off our list of requirements. We never felt pressured to make a decision or to close a deal. When we did find the right home Glenn was amazing during the process to come to just the right terms with the seller. In our opinion Glenn is the best Real Estate Agent in the business. Personal and professional. Confident but never pushy. Intelligent and knowledgeable with an amazing ability to communicate technical and complicated information in layperson's terms. We are proud and confident referring friends and family to Glenn."

"Home-ownership seemed like a far-fetched dream for us, and certainly would not have been possible without the expert advice, guidance, and support offered by Glenn Rea. He was professional, helpful, and detail-oriented from day one right through closing (and beyond). Not only were we extremely satisfied with his level of customer service, but he made the entire home-buying experience – dare I say it – easy! I would recommend him to anyone who may be considering purchasing or selling a house. A huge thank you from the both of us!"

"Working with Glenn Rea, the sale and purchase of my old and new homes was a fantastic experience. Glenn understood from the outset what my needs and limitations were and always kept those in the forefront of his mind when walking me through properties or presenting offers. I knew that my comfort, my happiness and my family’s best interests were always the driving factor in all his recommendations and suggestions. He took the time to listen, to explain, and to work hard to find the best there was to offer me on both my sale and purchase. He was very responsive to all my calls, emails and texts and always smiling and pleasant. I remember saying to him, “Just find me a place for sale on (new street) and we will be happy”. After patiently showing us places all over Kingston, we ended up buying on that exact spot! I would highly recommend Glenn and Royal LePage for your real estate needs. He made the whole event as comfortable as possible for me. I don’t ever want to move from my new home, because I am so happy here, but I know exactly who to call if I ever need to sell! Thank you so much for everything Glenn! I simply can never thank you enough for all you did for us!"

"Not only did Glenn Rea help us find a house in a great area when posted here from Nova Scotia, but he found us a vet and dog park for our puppy. Plus great restaurants to try. He was very informative on best areas for resale, location of potential noisy areas or issues with older homes, and was patient as we tried to determine if we wanted a newer home or fixer upper. He even gave us ideas of renos that would increase value in certain neighbourhoods. He also recommended local lawyers, insurance agents and basically was our "go to guy" for information we needed in our new city. He helped us become more familiar with the city of Kingston and we would highly recommend him to anyone who is buying s house in Kingston. Glenn is extremely patient and informative and goes beyond the purchase of the property."
