They worked tirelessly to sell my house

“They worked tirelessly to sell my house and were equally helpful and dedicated in the search for a new home. They have a breadth of knowledge of the market. It was an exciting and stressful time made much easier.”

- Emily F.

Navigating the rural market

If you’re selling a rural property that you’ve held for years, maybe decades, you’ll want the Capstone experts on your side to inform you about the different ways in which the rural market moves, the most strategic way to market your home to rural buyers, and to rationally guide you through what can be a very emotional process.

If you plan to buy a rural property, you need to be informed about all the factors that will affect your purchase and lifestyle in a rural community. This includes home systems, neighbourhood information, and municipal plans. Everyone on our team is a highly trained, skilled real estate professional and local community specialist that will educate you from the first to the last step.

Rural real estate is a unique market. We help you navigate the process, properties, and places for the best outcome.

Our Competence Is Your Compass 

You can rest assured you’re being supported by the team with the most knowledge of the surrounding country properties, landscapes, and communities in Guelph and Wellington County.

We’ll help you understand the unique aspects of rural real estate, including:

  • water sources (determining the cleanliness, water pressure, septic systems, how to test water sources, etc.)
  • heating systems (determining if the house uses oil, electric, or geothermal heating, as most rural properties don’t use natural gas)
  • property zoning (determining what development projects, if any, will be constructed near your property)
  • The distinct nature of the rural communities, so you can choose the place that fits your family best

Our exceptional regional knowledge is your market advantage, because we let you know about future plans that may impact the area and your enjoyment of the property before you buy. As a seller, you’ll understand what external forces may affect your listing, and we’ll help you strategize and ensure your property still attracts our target buyers.

Leading with empathy

We understand the emotion attached to your homestead. You’ve invested in it over the years, spent decades there, and raised a family there. As locals and rural real estate experts, we’ll help you transition comfortably, and with care.

Our agents also know that moving to the countryside comes with a different set of concerns for buyers than living urban. We understand this process can’t be rushed, and instead work at your pace so that you feel confident throughout each step.
