Allow me to be a personal concierge to help you browse the Haliburton and Muskoka markets. In addition to flexible scheduling, I know the right questions to ask about rural and waterfront properties that will help educate you on the lakes, structure, mechanical systems and site particulars that elude the inexperienced sales representative. Does the water level fluctuate? What zoning bylaws should I be aware of? How old is the septic? Are there any rights aways? You need to know the right type of questions to ask.

"Pro-Active Professionalism"

"Ryan Merritt is a consummate professional who prides himself and his accomplishments by customer satisfaction. Always upbeat and positive, Ryan was available and responsive to us whenever we had a concern or just a basic set of questions. Not only did we retain Ryan to sell our present home, but results were such (sold on the 4th showing well above evaluation) that we also retained his services to find and purchase a new one. Marketing strategies included video aerials, signage, real-estate sites, magazines and strategic showcasing in a variety of local and surrounding area newspapers. Property closings and purchase agreements were processed quickly and efficiently and l’m happy to report that we are very content in our new, forever home. If you’re looking for a Real-Estate agent that will give you his supreme attention and energy, is very pro-active and transparent and totally approachable, then we highly recommend you retain Ryan Merritt as your agent."
