About Jon Hoskin
Born in Dartmouth. Built for This Market.
12+ years in accounting, finance, and tax. A landlord. A business owner. A Dartmouth kid who never left. This isn't just a career — it's home.
Background
More Than a REALTOR®
Born and raised in Dartmouth — the City of Lakes — Jon Hoskin is as connected to Halifax Regional Municipality as anyone you'll find in real estate. He didn't just move here; he grew up here, built his career here, and has invested here.
With over 12 years of experience in accounting, tax, and finance, Jon brings a depth of knowledge to real estate that most agents simply don't have. He's worked as a multi-residential and commercial landlord, giving him firsthand insight into what makes an income property perform. He spent years working with the Property Valuation Services Corporation (PVSC) — the local property tax authority — which means he understands how properties are assessed, where values are headed, and how to spot opportunity before the market does.
Jon holds a Bachelor of Commerce and is a designated Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR). He's also the owner of a bookkeeping and accounting company, which means he can walk clients through the financial complexities of buying, selling, or investing in real estate with a clarity that goes well beyond what a typical agent can offer.
Whether you're buying your first home, selling a long-held property, or building a rental portfolio in HRM — Jon brings a strategic, client-focused mindset and the financial literacy to back it up.
