Real estate is our full-time career, so we’re always up to date on market trends and what’s actually happening on the ground in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. We want to pass that knowledge along to you, so you move through this process as a well-informed buyer. We want our clients to go in with clarity and confidence.

A market that changes daily needs a REALTOR® who’s paying attention.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Every home search looks a little different, but these four steps are where every one of our clients begins their journey.

Here’s Where We Start

Step 1: Get pre-approved for a mortgage to understand your budget before beginning your home search.
Step 2: Meet for a buyer consultation to discuss your goals, needs, priorities, and the home buying process.
Step 3: Choose your REALTOR®, review the Buyer Representation Agreement, and receive guidance and representation throughout your purchase.
Step 4: Begin your home search with showings, property insights, and guidance to find homes that fit your needs and budget.

Three reasons buyers choose us

  1. We represent you and your best interests, ALWAYS. Our focus is on making sure you get the right home that actually fits your life.

  2. We're experienced REALTORS who are up to date on the local real estate market; and this means you will have the knowledge to make well-informed decisions with confidence.

  3. We’re skilled negotiators who will go the extra mile when advocating on your behalf to ensure you get the best terms in your agreement when purchasing a home.

I can’t express enough the excellence of this team. Buying a house and changing cities in this unsteady market we thought would be challenging enough but Cathy put her whole self into our needs and made our purchase smooth and satisfying. From the moment we met her we felt very comfortable with her personality and her extensive knowledge of the real estate market. We also felt grateful for her advice she had for us with a very complicated sale of our home. I believe going above and beyond is the norm for Cathy and this team.
