Relocating from Oakville

From Oakville to life on Georgian Bay.

You already know what it's like to live near the water. Here, you get Georgian Bay, sailing harbours and real four-season living, with a little more room and a slower pace.

The drive

About two hours north

From Oakville, Collingwood is about two hours by car, depending on traffic. Many people take Highway 407 to Highway 10 and head north through Orangeville, or take the 400 through Barrie when traffic allows.

Oakville movers often look at Collingwood's waterfront and established neighbourhoods, Thornbury for its harbour and charm, and Meaford for more space and big sunsets.

I've lived in Collingwood since 2009 and have been a REALTOR® here since 2012. I'll help you figure out which town fits the way you want to live, then find the home that fits it.

What Oakville clients usually tell me

Oakville to the Bay

Still near the water

Collingwood's harbour, Thornbury's marina and Meaford's waterfront keep the lake in your everyday life.

Oakville to the Bay

A great place for family

Family neighbourhoods, schools close to home and plenty to do outside, from the beach to the hill.

Oakville to the Bay

Room to slow down

A bigger lot, a quieter street, or a home ready for downsizing without giving up a lively downtown.

How it works

Buying here while you still live in Oakville

  1. Start with a call

    Your timing, your budget and the life you're picturing. We'll make a plan together.

  2. Sort out the Oakville side

    A mortgage broker I trust will help with your buying power, and I can introduce you to a great agent in Oakville if you're selling.

  3. Search from home

    New listings as they come up, video walk-throughs and honest notes on what the photos don't show.

  4. Come up for a weekend

    I'll plan a route of homes and neighbourhoods, plus a few of my favourite local spots.

  5. Offer to keys

    Offers, inspections and closing dates handled from wherever you are, with plain answers along the way.
