Jesse MacLean

PRINCIPAL LAWYER & PRACTICE LEAD

Jesse MacLean

From High Volume Practice to Title & Deed Leadership

“In real estate, responsiveness and clear communication are just as important as the legal paperwork.” – Jesse MacLean

Before joining Title & Deed, Jesse led one of central Nova Scotia’s busiest real estate practices, managing a large team of seasoned paralegals. His depth of procedural knowledge and proactive problem solving — from title defects and zoning hurdles to unexpected deal changes — keeps transactions moving without unnecessary delays.

What Gives Clients Confidence

  • Residential & commercial depth: counsel on purchases, sales, refinances, and private/commercial financing; 4,000+ transactions.

  • Negotiation that protects relationships: interest-based bargaining to resolve adjustments, deficiencies, and timing pressure without derailing the deal.

  • Coordination at scale: tight lender and stakeholder coordination to keep multi-party files moving

Why This Matters for Realtors & Developers

  • Speed & predictability: 4,000+ transactions managed end-to-end; steady closing cadence, minimal surprises.

  • Commercially sensible negotiation: clear, interest-based approach on price adjustments, holdbacks, remedies, and closing-date pressures.

  • Developer & builder support: practical handling of new-build agreements, staged/unit releases, and lender timelines.

  • Transparent scope & pricing: flat-fee clarity for standard residential; upfront scoping for commercial and non-standard work.

Community & Purpose

Rooted in Pictou County, Jesse is deeply connected to the communities he serves. He regularly volunteers at Our Lady of Lourdes in Stellarton and participates in local events, reflecting Title & Deed’s commitment to community engagement.

Great experience on a complex condo purchase… handled two deed registrations, secured a credit, kept communication clear — fees were very reasonable.
