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 preparing to sell a rural property that has been part of your life for years—or even decades—you deserve the guidance of Capstone’s proven expertise. Our team brings a deep understanding of how the rural market moves, the most strategic ways to position your property to discerning buyers, and the steady, rational advice you need throughout what can often be an emotional process.

For those looking to purchase a rural property, knowledge is paramount.

Each member of our team is not only a highly skilled real estate professional but also a trusted local specialist, dedicated to guiding you with precision from first step to final signature.

Rural real estate is unlike any other market, and in today’s ever-evolving landscape, the difference between a good outcome and an exceptional one comes down to expertise. With Capstone, you can expect elevated service, tailored strategy, and results that align with your vision.

Our Competence Is Your Compass 

You can feel confident knowing you’re supported by the team with the deepest knowledge of country properties, landscapes, and communities across Guelph and Wellington County.

We’ll help you navigate the distinctive aspects of rural real estate, including:

  • Water systems: Evaluating wells, water pressure, septic systems, and ensuring water quality through proper testing.

  • Heating systems: Identifying whether a home operates on oil, electric, or geothermal heating.

  • Property zoning: Understanding current and future development projects that may influence your land or lifestyle.

  • Community character: Gaining insight into the unique culture of rural neighbourhoods, so you can select the community that truly suits your family.

  • Schools & amenities: Assessing school zones, transportation routes, and access to essentials such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and hospitals.

Our unparalleled regional expertise is exactly why we have sold 175 rural properties. Buyers gain foresight into future developments that could shape their enjoyment of a property, while sellers are equipped to anticipate external factors that may influence value. We’ll craft a strategy to ensure your property continues to captivate the right audience. With an exclusive email database of over 10,000 engaged contacts, we market directly to qualified buyers to deliver the best results for you.

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.
