The house you want probably isn’t online yet.
I sell twenty to thirty homes a year across Muskoka, and a good number of them change hands before a sign ever goes up. Thursday mornings I send the list of what is coming.

The Thursday List
Coming-soon homes, a week before the portals get them.
Every Thursday at 7am: what is quietly coming to market, what actually sold and for how much, and one honest note on where prices are going. Written by me, not by a marketing company.

How a sale actually goes
No mystery, no jargon, and no pressure to sign anything on the first visit.
- 01
We walk the house
Before anything is listed I see it in person, in daylight, and tell you honestly what a buyer will notice first.
- 02
We price it on evidence
You get the comparable sales I used, with the ones that hurt included, not just the flattering three.
- 03
We photograph it properly
A real photographer, a weekday morning, and a floor plan. This is where most listings quietly lose money.
- 04
We go to market
Portals, my list, and the twenty agents who actually sell in this area and answer their phones.
“She told us not to list in November and to spend the winter fixing the deck instead. It cost her a commission that year and made us about forty thousand dollars.”

Marguerite Hollis
I have lived on this lake since I was nine and sold real estate here since 2009. I work with about thirty families a year, which is deliberately fewer than I could, because I would rather answer the phone myself.
If you are thinking about selling next spring, the useful conversation happens now, not in April. That conversation is free and it does not obligate you to anything.

Start with Thursday’s list.
Most people read it for a season or two before they ever call me. That is exactly how it is meant to work.
