Background

About Ron Birmingham

Born and raised in the small town of Pasadena, Newfoundland, I learned the importance of building lasting relationships based on trust at a young age. Throughout my youth I was competitively involved in sports at the local, provincial and national levels. Those opportunities helped expose me to the values of teamwork, communication, respect, and discipline; life skills that I still draw on daily in my business and personal life. I moved to Halifax in 1995 to attend Dalhousie University, where I played varsity volleyball for the Tigers in 1995-96 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology in After going back to school in I completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Applied Information Technology and spent almost two years working for a large family owned insurance brokerage in the Greater Toronto Area. In 2002, I settled back in Halifax once again. I began my real estate career as an agent in 2003 and between 2003 and 2010 I helped hundreds of families establish their roots in Halifax. In 2010 I became a co-founder and partner in Keller Williams Select Realty, the first Canadian Keller Williams franchise east of Ontario, now one of the largest and most successful real estate companies in Atlantic Canada with more than 2500 sales associates and homes sold. In the fall of 2014, my wife Tina and I decided to move our family "home" to Newfoundland to pursue further career opportunities with Keller Williams. In 2016 I co-launched launched a satellite office of Keller Williams in St. John's, which became it's own franchise in July of 2017. Only 8 short years later, today has more than 100 associates and staff and rank #1 among all real estate brokerages in the province in both agent count and homes sold for 2024 and 2025. While no longer active in sales, today I have the extreme pleasure of being the Operating Principal for Keller Williams in Newfoundland, where I focus my efforts on working with agents to build their businesses and achieve their goals. If you've ever thought about a career in real estate, I would love to chat about how I can help no matter where you are located.
