Ottawa: Top 4 real estate YouTube channels for planning your next move
Four distinct professional voices make room for buying-process education, neighbourhood discovery, suburb comparisons and the everyday shape of a move.
A local publishing perspective
A home tour can introduce an address. A useful real estate channel can also explain the decisions around it: how a purchase takes shape, which neighbourhoods belong on a shortlist and how daily life might work after the move. For Ottawa, those are different editorial jobs. A forms explainer and a suburb comparison can both be valuable without competing to tell exactly the same story.
Our 2026 Top 4 brings together four distinct practices with complementary video subjects and connected professional resources. Nick Fundytus leads with a structured buying-process library; Peter Twolan adds a city-wide relocation frame; Candice Trzmiel brings a household-and-suburb focus; Rebecca Liu connects city fit with a written relocation trail. The order reflects our editorial assessment of those resources, rather than a follower, engagement or sales leaderboard. Each channel has a clear reason to be included.
01 · Nick Fundytus — Give the buying process a beginning, middle and end
Royal LePage Performance Realty · @nick.fundytus
Fundytus opens our selection because his video resources give the home-buying process a clear structure. His professional video hub separates market updates, Coffee with Karim, forms explained and the homebuyer process. That organisation matters: a household can begin with the mechanics of a purchase instead of trying to assemble an education from unrelated property clips. The linked channel adds a longer conversation through the Realtor in Your Pocket series, with published subjects including a first-time homebuyer team and standing out as a tenant. Ontario forms also have their own visible place in the collection. Our editorial preference is for that navigable range: introductory preparation, individual documents and a longer discussion each have a distinct route in. It makes this the strongest first stop in our four-channel selection for a reader who wants to understand the transaction before concentrating on a particular neighbourhood. Fundytus practises with Royal LePage Performance Realty. Start with the homebuyer collection, then use the forms library alongside the current documents and advice supplied for your own transaction. The attraction is a reusable learning path, with a professional site that helps a viewer find the appropriate strand again. Explore the channel · Professional resources.
02 · Peter Twolan — Make the map feel like a set of real choices
eXp Realty Brokerage · @living_inottawa
Twolan's Living in Ottawa channel is our pick for turning a broad relocation idea into a more organised view of the city. The professional site gives its relocation video series a prominent position, while the channel groups introductory material in a dedicated moving-to-Ottawa collection. Published titles address choosing where to live, the experience of living in the city and relocation across different budgets. The wider professional resources identify places such as Hintonburg, the Glebe, Westboro and Kanata, giving a prospective newcomer specific starting points rather than treating Ottawa as a single housing product. We value the connection between that neighbourhood framework and the surrounding local publishing. His Instagram material includes architecture in Carleton Place, an Almonte outing and Ottawa event roundups; those are clearly named regional settings rather than interchangeable downtown scenes. Twolan is a broker with eXp Realty Brokerage. This channel fits the reader whose next useful step is an area shortlist: inner-city neighbourhoods, western communities and the broader regional lifestyle can be kept in view without erasing their differences. The editorial appeal is geographical continuity across a professional site, video collection and local social account. Use the named area as the anchor when moving from a video subject to an actual search. Explore the channel · Professional resources.
03 · Candice Trzmiel — Relocation with a recognisable household brief
Royal LePage Team Realty · YouTube: @ottawaexpert
Trzmiel's Your Ottawa Expert channel earns its place for a relocation catalogue with a recognisable household focus. The channel separates neighbourhood explanations from broader living-in-Ottawa subjects. Its published neighbourhood titles include Barrhaven, Manotick, Stittsville, Kanata and Orléans, alongside wider suburb comparisons. A reader can therefore move between a general relocation overview and a named community without losing the thread. The everyday-life strand broadens that brief with winter, groceries and life-with-children subjects. Those are relevant editorial choices because settling into a city involves ordinary routines as well as selecting a property. We particularly like the clarity of the channel's intended reader: someone considering a move who needs a local framework before committing to an area. Trzmiel identifies Royal LePage Team Realty in the channel description, consistent with her professional biography. Her current channel is the destination credited in this edition. The strongest starting route is the neighbourhood collection, followed by the wider living-in-Ottawa material that matches the household's circumstances. This is a recommendation of the published subject mix and organisation; the individual videos retain their own dates, perspectives and context. It adds a useful family-and-suburb emphasis beside Fundytus's process structure and Twolan's city-wide relocation frame. Explore the channel · Professional resources.
04 · Rebecca Liu — Connect the city choice to everyday household life
eXp Realty of Canada, Inc. Brokerage · @ottawarealtor_rebeccalynnliu
Liu closes the list with a particularly direct connection between video and a written relocation resource. Her professional article about Ottawa's reputation embeds the corresponding video and links onward to neighbourhood and moving-to-Ottawa material. That gives the reader a connected route through the subject rather than a single isolated opinion about the city. A separate 2026 cost-of-living article puts her own family-of-four experience into the discussion. We treat that as a named household perspective, not a standard budget that every newcomer can expect to reproduce. This combination earns the channel its distinct place here: it addresses the fit between a city, a home search and the life around both. The current professional site identifies eXp Realty of Canada, Inc. Brokerage, and the linked Instagram identity matches Rebecca Liu's Ottawa practice. Begin with the city-fit article and its embedded video, then move into the linked neighbourhood and relocation subjects. The written companion is especially useful when a reader wants a destination to revisit after browsing a channel. It gives this edition a practical final lens: beyond choosing an address, a move also has to make sense in the household's daily routine. Explore the channel · Professional resources.
Choose the place and subject that fit your move
Build a small viewing list around the decision in front of you. Transaction preparation fits Fundytus’s organised resource hub. Choosing an area fits Twolan’s relocation collection. Comparing suburbs and everyday family routines fits Trzmiel’s catalogue. Considering the life around the move fits Liu’s connected articles and videos. There is room for more than one of these perspectives in the same home search.
Keep the geography attached to the subject. Kanata, Barrhaven, Manotick and Orléans are distinct starting points within Ottawa; nearby Carleton Place and Almonte retain their own identities. Keep dates attached as well: a neighbourhood introduction may stay useful while the market figures, asking prices or transaction documents mentioned in a video change. Recognition here concerns the professional publishing described in this edition. Publication ownership and material relationships are explained in our relationship disclosure.
