Justin Edwards

“…As our 5 year old said just the other day, “Justin is a great cottage-finder.” He certainly made an impression!..”

My day begins with waking up to the fresh Muskoka air and realizing how lucky I am to call one of the most beautiful places in the world, home. I was born and raised in Bala on the Moon River. Spending summers on the water and winters on the ice gives me a true appreciation for this great area year-round. Being a local allows me to provide my clients an unparalleled perspective on cottaging in Muskoka, knowing the ins and outs of the lakes, roads, services and different areas throughout the district. Calling Moon River my home makes it even more enjoyable to list and sell properties on the Moon. Touring clients by boat is a truly unique buying experience and always a favourite of mine. My expertise only begins at the Moon and expands throughout the entire District of Muskoka, selling properties from my backyard through Parry Sound, Huntsville, Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Port Carling, and all of the beautiful lakes in between. Whether you’re selling or buying, I can offer you great insight on market considerations, local knowledge and a wide array of marketing techniques. I specialize in waterfront properties and treat each client with the same respect, dedication and service, no matter the size of the property or price tag. Too often I see buyers and sellers get lost in the mix with the extremely high number of realtors and high prices in Muskoka. I strive to ensure all of my clients are professionally represented and have my full attention throughout the entire buying or selling process. Whether selling or buying, I will always ensure that it is a rewarding and enjoyable experience, and most importantly that your interests are properly and professionally represented through what very well could be one of the largest transactions and decisions of your life.

My background begins at the University of Ottawa, where I specialized in marketing and hold an Honours Bachelor of Commerce. It continues with many international experiences including a business exchange to Hong Kong, China, which helped shape the business professional I am today through broadening my horizons in international practices and developing my business aptitude in the ability to adapt to unique and challenging situations. Following university, I began my real estate career in Ottawa with one of the largest international commercial real estate brokerages in Canada. Here I learned firsthand how to prospect, build and maintain relationships and successfully complete substantial real estate transactions with many local and international companies.

Moving home to Bala was a great choice both personally and professionally and allowed me to continue the business that my grandfather began over 60 years ago. Now in my 15th year in real estate, our office is able to provide our clients with over 90 years of combined experience and a long legacy of well-respected, successful real estate transactions. Our office remains in the same prominent location in Bala as when it first opened its doors in 1963. After running a successful independent brokerage for decades, our office decided to join one of the largest real estate brands in Canada. From there we shifted into the boutique luxury market. As we continue to adapt to the changing real estate landscape and with the desire to provide the highest level of service to our clients, I am thrilled now to have spearheaded the transition to Sotheby’s International Realty Canada.

I have too often felt that something is missing in residential real estate throughout Canada. There is a level of sophistication and professionalism that should be expected with real estate, and this is too often overlooked. This is what drove my desire to join Sotheby’s International Realty, Canada - a brand that truly understands business and provides unparalleled expertise around the globe.
