Emma helped my wife and I find our dream home in Georgian Bluffs! We truly appreciate her dedication in providing the best advice and customer service. Emma is an amazing realtor and I am happy to recommend her to my friends and family.

Emma Baker and her team did a great job. The sale took place while we were overseas during the Christmas holidays but they were able to handle all the details very smoothly and professionally. There were a few hiccups just 2 weeks prior to closing and once again they were able to navigate the situation professionally. I would happy recommend.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Emma and her team at Sotherbys. It was my first sale and I felt like a bumbling idiot. Emma made it super easy for me. She was so patient; explaining every step and what to expect. At times things got a little stressful but she managed every little hurdle graceful and confident. She was accessible at all times, incl during her vacation. Emma has gained so much industry knowledge over her years as a realtor and was my source, my guide and our success. We ended up with a very satisfying deal, which included the fulfillment of my father in law's dying wish.
Emma, thank you for your professionalism, your grit, your reliability, your wisdom, and your laughter! It made a world of a difference.
Congratulations as well to Holly. Well done, Holly!!!
With gratitude,
Silke and Family

Sherry Rioux
I have had my fair share of experience with Realtors as a custom home builder and past home purchases. Sadly, most of my experiences have not been great, feeling like just another self serving number in the Rolodex.
When it came time to buy our family's dream home, we didn't envy anyone taking on the task. My husband and I had very different checklists and a niche search for the area, and the expectations were extremely high. In addition, I was 4 months postpartum, and we were back and forth from Oakville to Muskoka without planted roots. Imagine...
Sherry spent TWO years touring us around homes. We made two offers on two different homes that were both negotiated and accepted on our terms, based on Sherry's extreme ability
to negotiate, but upon inspections, we decided to walk away with nothing but extreme support from Sherry and her team.
Two + years in the making, and at minimum 150+ hours of Sherry's time spent, we decided to go and see the dream home that was WELL out of our price range. Sherry encouraged us to take the slight chance that we could negotiate the purchase if we fell in love. Well, we fell in love, and after a lot of back and forth, Sherry called to tell us that she had gotten the deal done. (insert tears).
The level of care, guidance, due diligence, marriage counseling, life coaching, and, above all, knowledge was nothing short of amazing.
Sherry has become our forever Agent and a friend. Thank you Sherry and the entire team. Thank you. Thank you.

Sherry completely understood the challenges that I was facing, the shifting market and what the market was in the areas I was looking. She presented all of the information and negotiated the best deal she could! But it didn't stop there.. Sherry put me in touch with the right people to make sure everything went smoothly. Great communication and very supportive. Thanks Sherry.

Craig Davies of the Rioux Baker team offered our family a superb service. We were unfamiliar with the Blue Mountains area and Craig was very knowledgeable and helped us find exactly what we wanted. Craig was patient throughout the process and we couldn’t have done it without him. We would highly recommend Craig for any Grey county & surrounds purchase.

Craig was recommended to us by friends as a thoughtful and attentive agent who is knowledgeable of the area and provides a personal approach to finding a new home. We found Craig to be all this and more. He was very professional and considerate of our needs and wants. We didn't feel any pressure to rush. Craig kept us up to date on real estate activity and we felt informed as to the trends in the local market. When it came to negotiations with The other agent Craig was fair, honest and tough. If things get complicated, as they sometimes did, we had full confidence in Craig to navigate the situation and provide us with the best possible result. We would strongly recommend Craig to anyone looking to buy or sell their house in the Collingwood area.

I wish to give a shout out to my realtor, Emma Baker. I have used other realtors before, as I have been buying and selling homes over the last 35 years. She stands out among all of the realtors I have used. She was always easy to reach; connected me with the necessary trades people I needed and made my search, buying and move easy and fun! Considering that I was relocating from Aurora to Wasaga Beach, she was always present when I could not be there. There was always a smile on her face and she had a positive, cheery disposition every time we met or connected.

I have had a wonderful experience working with Jacki Binnie over the years. She has helped me secure lovely rental properties in the Collingwood area. She is approachable, knowledgable and quick to respond to emails/texts. She is also very professional, helpful and patient! I can be very indecisive, but Jacki has made my rental hunt experience enjoyable over the years. I look forward to working with her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking to rent/buy/sell in the Collingwood area.

A wonderful experience at a stressful time! We dealt with Craig Davies and I honestly cannot think of enough great things to say about him and the purchase and sale of our home. Craig always went way beyond the call of duty and was available to help at every point in time that we needed him. I simply cannot put into words how much we appreciated working with Craig.

I worked with Craig Davies for years helping me with rental properties as well as purchasing a property in Collingwood. I have nothing but good things to say about him as a person as well as a real estate agent. He is professional, kind, respectful, knowledgeable, always available and readily responds to calls, texts and emails. I trust him implicitly and highly recommend him to find you any type of property you are looking for. He will be honest and help guide you to find exactly what you are looking for without pressure. He would never let you settle for something less than what you are looking for.

Our experience working with Sherri was excellent. She is so easy to work with and really spends time talking with you about what your needs are.
We spent some time visiting different homes and we never felt any pressure to buy.
Once we found our place Sherri and her colleague Craig were so helpful guiding us through the purchase process.
I would highly recommend working with Sherri and her team.

From the day we listed until final closing, our experience with Sherry was very comfortable and efficient. Any questions or concerns were dealt with quickly and emails and calls answered promptly.
Selling a beloved property can be daunting, but with Sherry in charge, worries melted away. My husband and I have no hesitation recommending Sherry as a listing agent.

I love my real estate agent. How often does someone say that? I reached out to Emma over 5 years ago when I became interested in the Collingwood and Blue Mountains area. Emma knowledgeably, patiently and enthusiastically showed me many many properties until we found the right one (pre-construction which just closed). I can't say enough about Emma - she knows the area SO well, she listens to the needs of her clients, she is reliable, trustworthy and genuine, and she is really wonderful to work with.
Honestly, she's the best real estate agent I have ever had!

We worked with Craig Davies, a very professional person with so much knowledge of the area. He assisted us with looking at rentals, new builds, old homes, condos and bungalows, he was so patient as we discerned what would suit us the best. As we approach our later years we were particular in our needs. Today we are so delighted as he guided us into the perfect place for our retirement years. Craig is so personable, he was willing to keep us informed as new listing came available and show us as many places we needed to consider. The fact that we wanted to see places from Wasaga Beach to Meaford didn't faze him; Craig Davies is an agent I recommend very very highly.
Curtis McDonnell
13:26 26 Apr 23
Our agent Craig Davies was excellent. He listened carefully to what we said, was responsive when we called and made himself available when we wanted to meet with him; and he answered our questions clearly and when he didn’t have an answer right away, he did the necessary research and got back to us quickly with the answer. He was always very customer focussed.

Sherry guided us through the process of purchasing our new home with the utmost professionalism. Her knowledge of the current market in the local area was paramount in assisting us in making our decision. The whole process from start to finish was flawless with Sherry's introspection and experience. Her sense of humour also eased any stress that is normal in such an unconventional real estate market. I would highly recommend Sherry for either the selling or buying process.

Emma's expertise in real estate and the hard work that she does for her clients has been second to none.

Keep up the great work, everyone!

I have worked with Emma Baker on a few occasions both selling and buying. Emma was very attentive to my needs and took the time to learn about my family and any needs that my two girls would require now and in the future. Emma is very knowledgeable about the area we were looking at and truly was looking in our best interest and created a relationship that allowed a true trust between my family and Emma. When looking for a place to reside I needed to rely on emma to find a place that would be suitable for my dog that has had both knees surgically repaired. Emma took the time to know my dog and what she means to me and found a perfect place without taking time to see places that would not work. While I was selling my place Emma explained to me everything I needed to know to make an educated decision. We reviewed all sales in the area explained comps and how that affects my sale and future offers! Just a pleasurable experience during a stressful time and leaving me confident I did the best thing on both selling and finding the correct place to live!

Sherry did a wonderful job for us selling our condo in Lighthouse Point Collingwood. She gave us needed feedback and got the job done in a few days at over asking. Sherry is warm and fun to work with but more importantly she is a true professional who really stays on her game. This was the best real estate experience we have ever had and we have sold and bought multiple houses. We were really fortunate to meet and work with Sherry. Do not hesitate to call her you will be very glad you did. SHERRY IS THE BEST!
