This site is dedicated to the Village, since over the years, more and more of my clients are shifting in their thinking and priorities about deciding where to buy a home. It is still certainly about location, but it’s much less about a particular city and more about lifestyle. Which areas will meet the needs of how I want to live my life?

Mississauga is a collection of villages; some which might suit your needs very well, and some which might not. I have built my business upon getting to know your exact needs and wants, and showing you what areas will meet your priorities. I don’t take lifestyle for granted; not any old neighbourhood will do.

For example, if you are looking for a stable family neighbourhood, where curb appeal, great schools, good sized lots and easy access to Toronto are important, there are wonderful areas in Mississauga such as Cawthra Park, Huron Park, Lorne Park (notice a pattern….) Sherwood Forest and Sheridan Homelands.

However, for these very same reasons, these areas have inched outside of many families’ budgets. No longer will my clients just pick a more affordable area of Mississauga, just because it’s Mississauga. More and more often they are choosing to move to areas in Oakville and Burlington that offer the lifestyle they are seeking.

Perhaps you need to have great highway access, prefer a newer built home, and land is not that important to you, as you are a busy person with little time for home maintenance. Areas such as Churchill Meadows, and certain areas of Central Erin Mills or East Credit might be ideal. More and more often, these same clients will also consider newer builds of Milton and Georgetown.

This is why the focus of the Village Guru is on Lifestyle; the Villages that give you the lifestyle you want, over any particular ownership to one city or another. I call myself a Guru because I not only know Mississauga inside and out, I also know other surrounding areas that can offer you the lifestyle you seek. I ensure that I understand everything that you are seeking in a home, and then I can pair you with your perfect Village.

Boundaries have shifted; it still all boils down to the golden rule of Real Estate: location, location, location, but this is no longer defined by the borders of a city. It’s about a Village, it’s about your lifestyle.
