Prepare to Succeed

You receive cottage/home preparation advice so your properties’s beauty and character shine through to your best possible advantage. Buyer search criteria trends are important, and change over time. With our help, you willl be on the cutting edge when it is time to show off your property.

As an objective third party, Buyers are inclined to take heed of our recommendations, increasing the probability of sale.

Importantly, buyers are pre-qualified (financially) before they are considered for a showing of your property, all but eliminating false hope.

We are trained and experienced professional negotiators, with third party status to act as a go-between for you, your Buyer and their Realtor. The results? Satisfaction with every transaction’s conclusion.

We concentrate on delivering the utmost attention and superior service to you and your transaction because our Licensed Personal Assistant handles the administrative support, details, and marketing strategies on our behalf.

Words of Appreciation

“Thank you for the memorable sales and closing experience of finding the cottage of our dreams. A perfect fit for our needs.”

I & E – Lake Muskoka cottage buyers

“Jim and Iris Gardiner were both amazing to deal with. A truly professional team. They shared a great deal of knowledge with us and really shed important light regarding potential Island Cottage ownership – all the pros and cons. Not only did they sell our existing cottage in 24 hours for much higher than our asking price they helped us find our new slice of paradise on Lake Muskoka in a very tight market. We are thrilled with our new cottage and love being on Eilean Gowan Island! We would highly recommend either Jim or Iris for any of your Real Estate needs!”

J & D – Sold on Echo Lake and bought on Lake Muskoka

Jim did me a favor 20 years ago and I wanted to return the favor – I approached him and Iris at the cottage show and, even though I already had a real estate agent, he recommended a cottage property that I purchased and enjoyed for those 20 years. I therefore, tracked him down and had him be our agent in selling that property. Our priority was to find new owners that would be friendly and fit in well with the neighbors and Jim and Iris found the perfect couple Jim and Iris made the entire sale most enjoyable. The experience was so smooth and enjoyable that the sellers, the buyers and the real estate agents all got together for supper the following summer at our old cottage!

K & L – Lake Muskoka

It is with great pleasure and appreciation for me to recommend the services of Jim Gardiner and the entire Gardiner Team. Jim’s awareness of community by-laws and market related activities extracted incremental value for us when we were finalizing the purchasing agreement.
