Welcome

I have been involved with cottage life for most of my life. I can remember as a young lad, traveling up Highway 11 to Burk's Falls, with Horn Lake our ultimate destination. That trip, then, took about 5 hours from Toronto, as Highway 11 was a two-lane highway all the way.

In 1973, I bought my first piece of property on Clear Lake near Restoule, for $3,000. In 1978, construction started on this property and by 1981, had finished this Viceroy-style, 3 bedroom cottage. I sold it in 1983 and Lakeshore Developments was born!

Between 1988 and 1994, I went on to build 11 different cottages in Ontario's north from Parry Sound to Bancroft.

As lot prices remained high from 1994 on, it became more difficult to meet any margin requirements in building new cottages. Lumber prices soared along with buyer's expectations. However, it became very difficult to supply the demands, for the prices consumers wanted to pay.

In 1998, I purchased a 1200 sq. ft. lakefront cottage on Ahmic Lake near Parry Sound. In 2000, I purchased a 2300 sq. ft. home on Pickerel Lake near Burk's Falls. These recreational properties were offered for rent and have been a huge success in providing Ontario families with great vacations. In 2002, a third cottage was added to the inventory.

In 2001, I received my license to sell real estate in the province of Ontario and registered with the Muskoka Board selling out of the head office in Huntsville, Ontario. Recently, I transferred to the Burlington/Hamilton Real Estate Board.

I look forward to meeting with you to discuss any opportunities that interest you.
