Get To Know Dean & Jenny

We don't just sell the dream. We made the move ourselves.

We traded 25 years of Toronto corporate life for a cottage on Balsam Lake.
Not a vacation property, a whole life.

And for the last 10 years we have helped families, retirees, and city escapees find their place in this region for years. We know these lakes, these towns, these roads. And we know what it feels like to wonder if making this kind of change is actually possible.

It is. Let's talk.

Get To Know Dean & Jenny
Why Our Clients Like Working With Us

Knowledgeable, professional, kind and hardworking – that’s what you get when you work with Jennifer and Dean! They were incredible partners throughout all the stages of purchasing a cottage for first time cottage buyers. They took the time to educate us, were great consultants when looking at options and consistently went out of their way once we actually purchased a property to ensure we were set up for success. They truly care about their clients and the industry. If you’re considering buying or selling a property – you need to work with this team.

- Jacqueline McGann

Dean Michel has been a fantastic agent! He and his partner Jennifer have been working with us for months as we made the big decision to move from the city to a Lakefront property. They have been patient and consultative every step of the way. We are so pleased with our relationship and the outcome and cannot wait to become permanent residents of the Kawarthas area.

- Lauraleigh Cairns

What can you say about the people who helped make your dreams become a reality? Dean and Jenny worked with us for roughly a year to educate and ready us for our retirement home in cottage country. Step by step, we worked through a process with them. They got to know and understand our needs, and in time, found us the perfect home. Truly professional, knowledgeable, honest, caring, hard-working and fun agents. Quick to respond, quick to calm, quick to reassure. We truly had a wonderful experience in an otherwise overwhelmingly crazy time! We came away from this having felt like we made life-long friends. You won’t be disappointed in hiring this expert team to help you find your perfect Kawartha home.

Kawartha Lakes

Just 90 minutes northeast of Toronto. A completely different life.

The Kawartha Lakes is where charm, calm, and community meet — served with a side of really good tomatoes. (No seriously. They're unreal.)

Every town here has its own vibe. Some are artsy, some are sleepy, and some have butter tarts that might actually change your life.

You can hike in the morning, hit the theatre at night, and still be home in time to eat something grown five minutes down the road.

With over 250 lakes and rivers to explore, the hardest part isn’t finding something to do—it’s choosing which lake view you want to wake up to.

So go ahead. Swipe through our communities below.

One of them just might feel like home.

Not sure if this is right for you? That's exactly where to start. No pressure, no scripts. Just an honest conversation about what you're looking for and whether the Kawarthas might be it. We respond fast — usually within the hour.
