You're Not Just Selling the Home. You're Selling the View.

Waterfront buyers are emotional. They are buying the sunset, the dock lifestyle, and the escape from the city. To get the highest price, your marketing must capture that emotion. 

I partner with Elevated Photos to provide cinema-quality drone video and twilight photography on a beautifully showcased listing webpage that truly stands out and attracts buyers.

Selling a waterfront property is unlike selling any other type of real estate. The value isn't just in the square footage of the structure. The shoreline type, the water depth, the privacy, and the regulatory status of the land also need consideration.

From the soft sandy beaches of Wasaga Beach and Tiny, to the shores of Collingwood and Blue Mountain, I create a well-thought marketing strategy that highlights the unique lifestyle your property offers. No exceptions.

The "Elevated" Marketing Standard

Most agents hire a photographer. I bring a production team to your listing. As detailed in my Real Estate Marketing services, I partner with Elevated Photos (my husband's company and Collingwood’s premier real estate media team) to ensure your property is showcased perfectly. And the video – just wait 'til you see it. 😉

Aerial Photos & Drone Video

We don't just show the home, we fly out over the water to show the shoreline, the area, and the proximity to landmarks like the Collingwood Terminals, Beach 1 or the Niagara Escarpment.

Twilight & Lifestyle Photography

Waterfront homes come alive at sunset. We capture your home during the "golden hour" to showcase the evening ambience. This helps buyers imagine themselves relaxing on the deck.

Floor Plans + 3D Tour

We use detailed floor plans and 3D tours (iGUIDE) to show exactly which rooms capture the water views, helping remote buyers visualize the layout before they arrive. 

Valuation: Beyond the Comparables

Pricing waterfront is an art backed by data.

  1. The Shoreline Factor Not all frontage is equal. We assess the value difference between "sandy beach" (premium in Wasaga) vs. "deep water capability" (premium for boaters in Collingwood/Thornbury).

  2. Regulatory Clearance We proactively address potential buyer concerns regarding Conservation Authority regulations and Shore Road Allowances. By having answers ready regarding dock permits and erosion control, we remove barriers to the sale, ensuring offers don't fall apart during due diligence.

  3. The Toronto Connection Collingwood is a primary destination for GTA buyers looking to "flee the city". I market your property directly to high-net-worth individuals in the city who are seeking a four-season retreat within a 2-hour drive.

Frequently Asked Questions (Seller FAQ)

When is the best time to list a waterfront home?

Conventionally, spring is ideal so buyers can enjoy the summer. However, in Southern Georgian Bay, the fall market is active for buyers looking to secure a ski chalet/waterfront hybrid for the winter season. We tailor the launch date to your specific property type.

Do I need to stage my cottage?

Yes, but "lifestyle staging" is key. We want to de-clutter personal items while leaving the "lifestyle" elements—like Muskoka chairs on the dock or a kayak on the rack—that help buyers picture themselves living there.

What if my property is 3-season only?

We position 3-season cottages specifically to "summer retreat" buyers, highlighting the lower carrying costs and rustic charm, while clearly disclosing insulation status to manage expectations upfront.

Photography was beautiful

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.
