I know cottage country – I live, work, and raise a family here. If you’re looking to sell your cottage, home, or property in the Muskoka-Parry Sound area, my honest approach and years of experience can help you.
Marketing is the key to getting your property sold, so how will I market your property?
The foundation of cottage real estate marketing rests on an excellent website with high traffic. Realistically, most people begin their cottage search at home on Google. My strong online presence and SEO optimization funnels potential buyers right to your listings.
The Cottage Life Show in Toronto draws over 30,000 people every spring and features more than 500 vendors. Our office has a booth featuring all our Muskoka and Parry Sound waterfront listings, displaying them to hundreds of potential buyers. With Over 1/3 of those attending planning to buy or build a cottage, it’s the perfect launch pad for our selling season.
Using targeted social media advertising helps to get your property seen by likely buyers. Folks getting directed to properties that fit their needs can help to bring serious potential buyers to your property.

She also has a network of professionals specializing in this unique market from lawyers, mortgage brokers, appraisers, etc.

Bonnie did an amazing job helping us sell our cottage in Nov 2020. On the same day the cottage was added onto MLS Bonnie was able to get us 5 offers! She was able to get us significantly over asking with the exact closing and conditions we were hoping for. She worked with the other agents to make sure everyone submitting an offer was going in with their highest amount. This was extremely rushed for Bonnie since the first offer came in at 5pm and expired at 10pm. She was able to get our cottage sold by 10pm and stayed up until 2am to make sure everything was finalized.
Bonnie’s attention to details, hard work and excellent communication has made selling very easy. We would highly recommend Bonnie for all your real estate needs.
We really are so happy with your amazing service and hard work. This has been the best experience so far with buying/ selling a cottage.
Thank you,
Melanie Smith
I have to concur. I believe you were able to very successfully use existing offers we had received and that momentum to increase the price to a level we were not expecting to reach. I also agree you have had the best communication skills of any realtor we have worked with as your response time to our inquiries has been fantastic.
I believe you will have no shortage of listings and buyers in the future when you are working on your own.

Thank you Bonnie for your hard work and dedication in helping us find our dream cottage. You are incredibly knowledgeable of the area and answered all of our questions with ease, even our fishing questions! We are so happy with our cottage and couldn't have asked for more.

Another sold by Bonnie!
We see her signs all over!
Bonnie always has a smile on her face when she sees you. We have bought and sold through Bonnie many times over the years. She always goes out of her way to help us no matter what the situation with a house. She always calls to let you know step by step with a house and to answer your questions, no matter what time it is.
Bonnie, you get the job done always, 100% you are a leader all the way.
Thank you once again Bonnie, this time for getting us into our retirement home.
Much Love,
Guy and Christine
As a single mother and a first time home buyer, I was leery of “pushy real estate agents”. I started working with Bonnie and quickly realized I found what I needed. She was a huge resource to me, explaining the current market, things to watch for, warning signs and what to expect in the offer/buying process all before I even found the right place. Bonnie actually listened to the things that were important to me, and helped sort out my must-haves by showing me lots of examples so I could figure things out. In the end she found me a great place that was everything I was looking for. I knew she was a busy lady because she has a lot of listings and clients, but she was always on it, always available, always willing to make it work.
Bonnie is very easy going, with a great attitude, lots of experienced, and her approach made it very clear she was focused on finding me the right place, and making sure I were comfortable throughout the process.She put me in contact with mortgage brokers, home inspectors and lawyers, I was amazed at how smoothly and how quickly everything came together. I expected the process to be very stressful, but in the end it was just exciting, ass he handled all the details. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bonnie to anyone who is buying a home. Thanks again Bonnie!

Bonnie will be sure to keep you focused on your real estate goals.
I stumbled upon her when I wanted a Muskoka property in the Huntsville area with fibre optics and town ploughed road access as a single homeowner and health professional working from home, who also wanted to accommodate her adult children.
I was easily distracted by various properties that were listed. She kept bringing me back to my price range and must haves. She did the research on each property making a visit on her own if I couldn’t make it. She negotiated visits and made decisions based on my bottom line and when we needed to move fast she had me prepared to make an offer and always anticipated what the outcome would be. Bonnie will take the time to ensure you know the pros and cons of each property and has an eye for solid builds. Since she is involved with her own building project in Muskoka, she has a clear understanding of the important considerations from the ground up.
Once she gets to know you and your bottom line, you can’t go wrong with Bonnie. She steered me away from one property that I really wanted to like, saying as she walked me out, ‘your heart is definitely not in this property—let’s go!’ And that sums up Bonnie’s no nonsense ‘don’t settle for what you don’t want’ approach. Bonnie is a responsible, reliable real estate agent who wants to find you a property that you will truly love.
