“Do you realize what you have here?” It’s a comment visitors frequently make to Antigonish business owner Valerie Chugg. And when your business is real estate, that kind of reaction makes the job a pleasure.

 
Valerie Chugg is the broker/owner of Prudential Highland Properties, an agency in downtown Antigonish that handles commercial, residential, ocean front and farm properties in Northeastern Nova Scotia. Chugg says while local people make up a large part of their walk-in business, they also have clients from around the world — Japan, China, Germany, United States, the United Kingdom and all over Europe.
