“In 2010, I was fortunate to meet Bruce Johnson of RE/MAX By the Bay. I owned my own home in Calgary, AB at that time but I was planning a move to Wasaga Beach, Ontario. Bruce not only found the ‘right’ home for me but he also did all the necessary legal paperwork for me as I could not take possession for several days after the closing date. My move was very uncomplicated because of Bruce’s expertise in real estate and his ongoing willingness to assist me in any way I required.And then in 2023, after over 12 years of living in that home and enjoying it, I realized the need to move to a retirement home. There was never any doubt in my mind that I would contact Bruce Johnson once again. To my surprise I discovered that I got ‘two for one’ service when selling my home. Bruce’s wife Mary does the staging of the homes that he lists and I could not have done the downsizing without her. With Mary’s advice and assistance and Bruce’s knowledge of the real estate trends and markets, I listed my home at a price that we both agreed on and it sold within a perfect timeframe, allowing for a smooth transition to my next home, closer to family.I like the fact that they donate a portion of every listing or sale that Bruce makes to SickKid’s Hospital in Toronto as it is such a worthy cause.”Gayle Peacock, August 2023
Gayle’s previous review, 13 years earlier as a homebuyer: “Life, being life, sometimes it gives us lemons and sometimes it gives us chocolate… As much as I enjoy lemonade, I love chocolate. Life gave me the gift of chocolate when I walked into the RE/MAX office in Wasaga Beach and met Bruce Johnson. I had just listed my home of 20 years in Calgary with the intentions of moving to Wasaga Beach to be closer to my family. Bruce took me to several places that were for rent and when I realized that I preferred to purchase, he began to show me various areas of the town. I quickly decided that I liked the Wasaga Meadows area and we went to see three listings in that complex. I liked them all but I still had my home for sale in Calgary. After I returned home, Bruce kept in touch with me and advised me when the homes I had viewed were sold and also what homes had just been listed. Just as my home sold, he sent word that one in Meadow Lane was available and it was in the area that I liked. Since I was unable to come to see it, Bruce took the time to go to this home and video it for me. It was like being here and viewing it myself. I put an offer in on it and it was accepted. As I was not arriving in Wasaga until after the closing date, Bruce arranged to have the inspection, walk through and all utilities changed to my name for me. Bruce made my move at this end so easy for me (if only he had come out and helped me pack up in Calgary!). Since moving here, I have found the neighbours and everyone I have met to be friendly and welcoming and I know that I am going to enjoy living in Wasaga Beach. Thank you Bruce and Mary for bringing your girls to visit and for your assistance and advice. And thanks too for literally bringing the gift of “chocolate” that evening…!”
