My Muskoka Cottages - Clarke Muskoka Realty

We brought on Doug Reid to help us purchase a cottage in Muskoka and was thoroughly impressed! Doug was an A+ broker right from the start! He took the time to really understand our family and our needs. He was not pushy in the sales process and sincerely wanted to do what was best for us. Being local, he was able to find a property that was available for sale before it was publicly listed giving us a timing advantage. When it was time to negotiate the purchase, he was strategic and thoughtful. We ended up with a dream property in Muskoka at the budget we had in mind! Finally - Doug didn't stop after the sale. He continued to provide great support even after the sale to ensure a smooth closing, negotiation with the seller for extra furniture, and an easy move-in. We would strongly recommend Doug Reid for all your Muskoka cottage needs!

Thanks to Doug’s expertise, intuition, and strong professional connections in the Muskoka area, we were able to win not one but two cottage bids in a fiercely competitive market. He held our hands every step of the way as we went from being non cottage owners to owning our forever dream cottage, as well as becoming investors. He later sold our investment at the perfect time, leaving us well positioned for the next deal. He always picks up when we call and consistently exceeds our expectations in terms of customer service. Not only does Doug know Real Estate, he is deeply immersed in the Muskoka lifestyle and has a wealth of helpful information to share as we settle into our new community. There is no one else we would hire or recommend!Jayda & David, Dundas ON

We have been clients of Bob and Marnie Clarke both through their Real Estate and Construction Company over the past 4 years. We have been very pleased with their commitment to the highest level of service, they are quick to respond to questions and we’ve been impressed with their entire team. We have found their knowledge of the Muskoka market and their marketing approach is best in its class. We’ve had an incredible client experience.

Ashley and the Clarke Muskoka Realty team were so helpful and supportive throughout the transaction. They are extremely knowledgeable about the area and connected us with numerous resources to help us realize our cottage living dreams! We couldn’t be happier with our cottage and look forward to creating many memories there!

We would like to thank Ashley for being professional, knowledgeable, patient and focused while working with us to find our beautiful cottage. She ticked all of our boxes and made the process seamless. Additionally, the Clarke team did an amazing marketing our old cottage. They managed to sell our cottage and help us purchase our new cottage all in one weekend. We highly recommend Ashley and the rest of the Clarke team to fulfil any of your cottage needs. They are beyond professional and knowledgeable in the Muskoka and surrounding areas.

Doug helped us with the purchase of our cottage in September 2022. He was very patient, knowledgable, friendly and professional as we worked with him for over a year till we finally found the cottage we wanted.We never felt pressured to buy. In fact, he helped steer us away from certain properties. He was good at noticing defects or repairs that were needed to the cottages we looked at.When we finally put in an offer, he had very good advice. We never felt like he was pressuring us to make a purchase or to raise our offer price beyond the limit we had set.We would gladly work with Doug again if we need a real estate agent sometime in the future.

The team at Clarke Muskoka Realty, especially Kelcie and John, were absolutely fantastic in helping us with our relocation from Nova Scotia to Ontario. They were there to help every step of the way. From many, many virtual tours, to setting us up with a lawyer to assist us and even after the purchase was completed they were there to help at any time. If we ever move again, we'll be using them again!

After a few years of renting in Muskoka we were referred to Bob Clarke and his team to assist us in searching for our own cottage. Bob and Marnie spent a lot of time with our family really getting to know us and with their expert knowledge found us a place we truly LOVE. If you want to work with an honest and understanding group, we highly recommend Bob Clarke Muskoka Realty.Chris and Jim

I would highly recommend Doug Reid for your next Real Estate endeavour! Buying a cottage was always a dream of mine but I never realized how much we needed to consider before making a purchase. We met Doug in the early days of our search and are so grateful to have him guide us throughout the process. He was thorough, reliable and honest - always identifying pros and cons and ensuring we were aware of all factors before making a decision. He was also very accommodating, willing to check out any listing of interest.

Searching for and buying real estate in Muskoka can be a difficult challenge, fortunately my husband and I came across Bob Clarke. He along with his wife Marnie make the process much simpler by knowing Muskoka like the back of their hands. We’ve used the Clarke Team on several deals and they honestly have made the entire buying and selling process seamless.
