What My Clients Say

Client experiences

Andrea Mendes is very professional and has a very good attention to details, especially when it came to the listing and offer. Photography was beautiful and she was very helpful in helping me purge what needed to be purged and just overall getting my house ready for the market.

As first time home buyers, Andrea Mendes took the time with us to make sure we found our first home. She was very knowledgeable about the area as well as with real estate in general. It was a pleasure and we were completely satisfied with the whole experience. Her approach is down to earth and made the experience seamless, especially during a crazy housing market. Thanks for all your hard work!

Andrea is very well versed in her job and answered any/all questions in a professional manner – was always available when contacting her and always had the answer – she is highly recommended in so many ways! If I could give more than a 5 star rating I most certainly would. A job well done! Thanks again, Andrea for everything you did for our family.

A brief overview of Collingwood

Collingwood is roughly a 2 hour drive from Toronto is a well known destination for those looking to flee the city for some time spent closer to nature. Hiking, skiing/snowboarding, water activities and the photogenic Collingwood Terminals are the main attractions. Not to mention the quaint small town charm with unique shops and restaurants. 

Residents of Collingwood enjoy various grocery store options, specialty food shops and big box retailers that are also found in the city, just not as many.

Collingwood also has a hospital and medical building, thriving schools, recreation facilities and senior homes.

If you like soft sandy beaches like myself, Wasaga Beach - the world's longest freshwater beach, is just 20 minutes away from Collingwood.

It doesn’t have an IKEA or Costco (yet) but we call those rare weekend runs up here.

Things that are special to me

Family

Family

Not everyone has family living in town. Mine is just 1.5 hours away which is not bad considering it’s usually traffic-free.

Food plate with sardines and potatoes

Food

I’m a true carbs lover and all things Portuguese cuisine. A good bowl of pho always hits the spot as well.

Hiking at Blue Mountain, Ontario

Hiking

Being only minutes away from trails, it’s a great way to stay active, take work breaks, or go hiking with friends and family when they come visit.

Travelling in Portugal

Travelling

Save the money. Plan the trip. You only live once. Pearson's only 1:40 minutes away, traffic-free. Or take the Simcoe county airport shuttle.
