It's Your Move

Real estate is likely the largest financial asset you own, yet many decisions are made based on emotion rather than data. As a Real Estate Consultant in Collingwood, I bridge the gap between "salesperson" and "advisor."

Whether you are debating a major renovation, considering an investment property, or managing an estate, I provide the market education and analytical insight you need to move forward with confidence.

Collingwood Buyer's Agent

Advisory Services

I provide dedicated representation for homebuyers across Collingwood, Blue Mountain, and Wasaga Beach. My comprehensive service includes targeted property searches, detailed market insight, strategic offer negotiations, and complete support through closing to ensure you secure the right home at the right price.

Renovation ROI Analysis

Before you spend $50,000 on a new kitchen or a pool, you need to know if you will get that money back. I analyze current Collingwood and Blue Mountain sales data to determine which upgrades actually increase resale value in your specific neighbourhood, and which ones are just personal costs.

Market Timing & Feasibility

"Should I sell now or wait until spring?" "Is the market crashing or correcting?" I cut through the news headlines to show you hyper-local data—absorption rates, days on market, and inventory levels—so you can decide the best timing for your lifestyle and equity.

Investment Strategy Reviews

For those looking to build wealth, I offer guidance on real estate investing opportunities in Wasaga Beach and Southern Georgian Bay. This includes discussing potential rental income analysis, seasonal vs. annual leasing, and identifying areas with high appreciation potential.

Estate & Succession Planning

Inheriting a property can be overwhelming. I act as a neutral third-party consultant to families and executors, helping you determine the value of the estate, understand your options, and manage the logistics of preparing the home for the market.

Frequently Asked Questions (Consulting FAQ)

How is a Consultant different from a Sales Agent?

A sales agent focuses on the transaction (listing or buying). A consultant focuses on the strategy. You might hire me for consulting even if you aren't planning to sell for another year, just to ensure you are on the right track.

Do you charge for consulting?

An initial discovery call is always free. If the consulting leads to a transaction (e.g., listing your home), our planning sessions are included in my standard commission. For standalone advisory work (like an in-depth portfolio review with no sale intended), we can discuss a fee-for-service structure.

Can you help me if I'm buying a private sale?

Yes. If you have found a home For Sale By Owner (FSBO) and need someone to review the value, negotiate on your behalf, and handle the paperwork, I can step in as a consultant to ensure your interests are protected.

Our interests were well represented

Dealing with Andrea was a very positive experience. She was extremely professional, responsive, attentive and acted with integrity. The sale and purchase were well planned and executed. We felt like valued clients and our interests were well represented. We highly recommend Andrea Mendes!
