Relocating from Richmond Hill

From Richmond Hill to the hills and the Bay.

If the Oak Ridges Moraine trails are your favourite part of Richmond Hill, you'll love it here. The escarpment, the ski hills and Georgian Bay are all close to home, and so is a real small-town pace.

The drive

Under two hours north

From Richmond Hill, Collingwood is usually under two hours by car, depending on traffic. Most people head west to Highway 400, north to Barrie, then take Highway 26 west along the bay.

Richmond Hill movers often love Collingwood's family neighbourhoods, Blue Mountain and Craigleith for four-season living, and Creemore for small-village charm with more land around it.

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.

Room for the whole family

Bigger lots, quiet streets and space for the kids, the dog and everyone who comes to visit.

Richmond Hill to the Bay

Nature every day

Trails, beaches and the ski hills as part of an ordinary week, not a once-a-month escape.

How it works

Buying here while you still live in Richmond Hill

  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 Richmond Hill side

    A mortgage broker I trust will help with your buying power, and I can introduce you to a great agent in Richmond Hill 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.
