Start with a conversation.
Twenty minutes, on the phone or over coffee. Tell me what you're thinking about, whether that's selling a home you've been in for years or moving up from the city, and I'll tell you honestly what I'd do in your position. No pitch, no pressure, and a real answer within 24 hours.
Whichever way suits you. I answer all of them myself.
Call or text
If I'm at a showing I'll call you back the same day. A text with your name and what it's about is perfect if you'd rather I fit it around your schedule.
Best for anything with detail: a property you've seen, a question about the process, or if you'd like a home valuation and want to include the particulars.
Meet in person
I'm based in Barrie and happy to meet anywhere in the city or Simcoe County, at your home or a coffee shop, evenings and weekends included. My brokerage, eXp Realty, is registered at 4711 Yonge Street, Toronto.
Here's exactly what a first conversation looks like.
People put off calling a realtor because they expect a pitch. This isn't that.
You tell me what's going on
Maybe you're thinking about selling but not sure when. Maybe you've driven up from Toronto twice and everything is blurring together. Maybe you just want to know what your house would fetch. Whatever it is, that's where we start, and I'll mostly listen.
I give you a straight answer
On price, on timing, on whether the move makes sense yet. If the honest answer is "wait a year", I'll say that. If I'm not the right person for what you need, I'll tell you, and where I can I'll point you to someone who is.
You decide what happens after
Some people want a written valuation. Some want to see a few neighbourhoods. Some want to think for six months, which is completely fine. There's no follow-up sequence and nothing to unsubscribe from. You'll hear from me when you'd like to.
Most people who get in touch are in one of these situations.
You're thinking about selling, but not this month
This is the best time to talk, not the worst. A realistic number now lets you plan the timing, decide what's actually worth fixing, and work out what the next place could cost. Ask for a valuation and you'll have one in writing within a day.
You're moving to Barrie from the GTA
You need someone to explain the difference between Ardagh and Painswick, be honest about the commute on a Tuesday in February, and not rush you into the first house with a nice kitchen. I'd suggest a call, then a drive around a few areas before we look at a single listing. The relocation guide is a good place to start.
You're buying for the first time
Deposits, conditions, land transfer tax, what a status certificate is. Nobody explains it properly and it's a lot to take in. I'll walk you through all of it in plain language before you have to decide anything.
You have a question and nobody to ask
Whether it's about a home you've seen, an offer you're weighing, or something a builder told you that doesn't sound right. You don't need to be a client to ask. I'd rather you called than guessed.
Barrie, and the towns around it.
Send me a message.
Four short fields. Tell me what's on your mind and I'll reply personally, usually the same day. If it's easier to talk, call 647.646.0684.
