Adrian and his family have vacationed in Muskoka for over 40 years. As his kids grew older, they expressed their desire to have a cottage of their own, especially with grandchildren on the way. Rather than renting or going to a village as they have in the past, they finally decided to take the plunge and buy a cottage to call their own.
After vacationing in Muskoka for years, there was no doubt in their minds that this was the place they wanted to buy their second home. "We wanted to find something we loved at a price we were willing to pay. We interviewed a couple of other realtors, but no one really stood out to us. Our friend, who is a broker over in Toronto, ended up recommending Heather," Adrian…

Despite homes being covered in snow and icy roads galore, winter is a great time to sell your home! Or is it? Just like with any season, there are pros and cons to selling your home. If you’ve been contemplating whether you should list your home now or wait until the snow melts away, we made a list of everything you should take into consideration.

So, you’ve been thinking about putting your home on the market... but the timing never seems right. I get it, life moves fast! It’s already the beginning of November and the holidays will be here before you know it. Entertaining guests, travelling, and spending time with family during this season is stressful enough that you can't even fathom the thought of potential buyers walking all through your home, dealing with inspections and navigating.
So what do you do? Should you wait another few months after the holidays to list your home? No.
In fact, according to the Ontario Collective, the average number of days on market is 47 days. That means the longer you put off listing your home, the longer the sale will take to wrap up after the holidays.

The decision to sell your home isn’t an easy one. In fact, research has ranked selling a home as second to relationship breakups for the most stressful experience in a person’s life. The same survey said people are more stressed out about selling their home than planning a wedding, getting fired or even becoming a parent.

Lucille and her family have vacationed in Muskoka over the past few years. Her cousin had a cottage that they'd often visit in the summertime with their kids. They'd often stay at one of their favorite resorts, the JW Marriott Muskoka.
Eventually, they reached a point in their life where they could afford to have a second home of their home. The timing finally felt right.
The first place that came to mind? Muskoka.
"There were a couple of properties we wanted to see, so we ended up contacting the listing agents of those properties. We weren't impressed with any of them. After calling Heather, we felt comfortable right off the bat.
When we first met her in person and…
