This area is famous for its fabulous sunsets. Every Friday night in July and August you can hear the skirl of a bagpiper under the giant flag at the foot of High Street, a tradition which started in the late 1990’s. During the summer and early fall, the beaches are full of people who have come to see the colourful sunsets lighting up the sky over the lake. Southampton, a popular summer getaway, is close to Chantry Island, Port Elgin, Saugeen First Nation and Sauble Beach.

Client Stories

Larry’s service to us as out-of-town buyers was excellent. During the both the offer process and the closing for our cottage, we were far away from Southampton, but he made sure that everything went smoothly, including by using information technology to deal with the signing and exchange of documents. And his after-sales service has been tremendous, helping us out with referrals for various things (he knows a lot of good people in Southampton and the surrounding area), and even accepting deliveries for us at the cottage! I recommend him without hesitation.

If there was such a thing as a real estate artist, Larry would be it. His biggest attribute is his ability to conciliate what can be an anxious situation, for purchasing a home is big decision whether it’s an additional property or your very first. He’s not just there to adjudicate the sale of a house but rather safeguard his clients at each risk important step so much that piece of mind is really the endgame. When my wife and I were looking at purchasing an additional property for the first time, Larry’s experience and honesty was invaluable to us and quite frankly refreshing. He gave us the confidence we needed to make the next big step.

We expressed our needs and he listened intently while providing feedback and suggestions based on his extensive knowledge and experience selling and listing homes in and around the Saugeen Shores area.

On top of being eminently knowledgeable about the area and its real estate market, and professional at all times, he was available nearly at the drop of a hat to answer our questions and move forward with the purchase. I’ve already recommended him to others and will continue to do so. Thanks Larry!

We learned that he was very knowledgeable, honest and straight forward. Not only did we buy a cottage but we trust him to keep an eye on our place when needed. A great agent turned into a good friend.
