Laura and Derek were an amazing duo who successfully sold my cottage in a flat market. They went above and beyond to make the sale and helped me get the cottage ready. Their dedication and professionalism was paramount to the final sale. Thank you.

We reached out to Laura and Derek to sell our cottage in Gravenhurst. From the moment we met, I knew we were in good hands. Laura was knowledgeable and efficient. She did a wonderful job with staging and the end result was a beautiful MLS listing. She was always available to talk and the odd time when she was busy, Derek was there to help in any way he could. After potential buyer visits, Laura was always quick to receive and relay feedback and so helpful when it came time to make a decision to accept an offer. Without hesitation,
I would highly recommend Laura and Derek for any real estate sale or purchase.

Laura and Derek are 5 star professionals. Very detailed and they have supported us in our house sale every step of the way.

Buying or selling a cottage can be incredibly daunting especially if your cottage is in Canada and you are from the United States, as our family is.
Having agents who are an energetic, informed and most especially "on your side" makes all the difference. Laura and Derek Stevens have been friends of our family for many years. So when we were seeking to sell our cottage of course we contacted them. We knew them as warm and generous friends and it's wonderful to see how their warmth extends and supports their incredible competence and knowledge as professionals.
Laura and Derek are incredibly knowledgeable about the cottage market in general and had incredible insight into the psychologies involved and how best to showcase our cottage.
They live in the area and are a vital part of the community as well. They don't just sell there, they live there. They know the shop owners, florists, restaurant owners by name. It's clear this is not just a "market area" but a community of which they play an active and involved part.
We put ourselves entirely in Laura and Derek's hands and they helped walk us through every step to the happy sale.
It can be scary to put yourself into a competitive and confusing real estate market but if you are looking for a warm, energetic, savvy agency who values community and has great knowledge and integrity, look no further than Laura and Derek Stevens.

We were so fortunate to have found Derek (and Laura) and can’t speak highly enough of our experience with them. Derek’s knowledge, guidance, patience, honesty and hard work lead us to finding our beautiful new home. Derek made a stressful search enjoyable, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him. Their service, start to finish was top-notch. We highly recommend Derek and Laura to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home.

Laura & Derek helped us navigate through the process of listing and selling our home with the utmost patience. They know the local market conditions well, and we took their advice on the timing of our listing and what was needed to maximize our sale potential. We got full asking price and sold within three weeks. They were always available to show us other homes that were listed,, which was invaluable in our research and decision of where we ultimately chose to move to. We would highly recommend them.

We were looking for a couple of years for a cottage dealing with other agent so we kind of gave up till we saw an ad of Laura’s for a cottage and before we knew it she was already interested in helping us find a place of our own . We know she went out of her way to help above n beyond , we highly recommend her services thanks to her we did find a lovely place and are totally enjoying it.

Laura and Derek were absolutely 100% top notch! We were thrilled, not only with the price we got (over asking), but in the speed with which it sold. 5 days on the market!!! We couldn't be happier.

Excellent experience with Laura and Derek as my realtors. They went above and beyond on so many levels. No pressure. Worked diligently and in the end got me full ask in a downward market. Wholeheartedly recommend them!
Carmela Roberts
A big thank you to Laura and Derek for their knowledge of the area they represent, for their patience with our many questions, for their thoughts of a particular location ensuring it matches our requirements and for their ongoing support through the closing process.
Being first time cottage owners, the experience Laura and Derek brought to our journey was invaluable. From the beginning of our search to the many site visits and finally through the closing process!
My husband and I are so happy with our experience with Laura and Derek and would recommend them to anyone in search of cottage real estate!
Earle Gotfrit
Wendy and I were extremely fortunate to have been introduced to Laura and Derek - as we were "rookie cottagers", their knowledge, experience and patience was invaluable to us. Not only were they constantly supportive through the property search and purchase, they rose above and beyond our expectations with their post-closing support. In our opinion, they were truly the right choice for our cottage real estate needs.
Chris Kelly
Thank you Laura and Derek. A great team to work with. Such a positive purchasing journey and experience for Kirsty and I. Patient, Thorough, Prompt are the words that come to mind when I think of the work we did together. :)
Jeff OBrien
Cottage buying can be a daunting and stressful task. Laura really took the time to get to know us, understand our must haves, and tailored the property search accordingly. Laura was super patient and extremely prepared and knowledgeable when reviewing and/or discussing properties. Laura was very helpful from initial meeting right through to closing and beyond. We could not have done it without Laura's help and would absolutely recommend Laura for those looking for a cottage in the Muskoka area.

I’m so happy to give this review of Laura and Derek Stevens. This summer we decided to finally take the plunge and purchase a cottage. This has been a 20 plus year dream. I did some searching online for a real estate agent to help us. I came across Laura’s site and I immediately felt drawn to Laura - maybe because of our shared work experience in healthcare. Laura and Derek were everything and more we hoped for! Both of them provided honest advice and gave us our options. They have a long history of being cottage owners and they are exceptionally knowledgeable!
When we found our cottage Laura was on it! She had our back and we knew it. Always quick to respond by email or text and working behind the scenes to ensure our best interests were being considered. We feel quite blessed that we met them and that they helped us find our cottage. Thank you Laura and Derek for everything!
If you are considering buying or selling in cottage country, look no further for a real estate agent to help. The dynamic duo of Laura and Derek will exceed your expectations!
Adam Wakefield
Laura Stevens represented us in the purchase of two properties (one recreational and one residential) in Parry Sound District. Throughout the process, Laura provided evidence-based advice and professional insight into market conditions and the real estate purchase process. Laura’s positive energy and enthusiastic participation in the purchase of our first home made the often overwhelming and intimidating process an exciting and rewarding experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura as a Real Estate Broker.
Robert Stewart
We had the pleasure of working with Laura for several months during one of the most insane, overheated cottage buying markets I have ever seen.
We covered hundreds of miles looking at cottage after cottage. She was always positive and made herself available at the drop of a hat.
It all worked out in the end, and we are more than happy with the cottage we found.
If you're looking for a good realtor, Laura's the one!
micheline cece
We had been looking for a cottage for a couple of years and saw an ad with Laura’s name and decided to ask her for her help as we had been unsuccessful with others and wouldn’t you know it she met with us almost immediately and ask what we’re looking for and right away went searching and found what we were looking for at our price range we were so happy that we gave her a call it was just meant to be , thanks Laura for listening to our needs and for working hard just for us 😃
Ann T
Laura was amazing, and we would ask her to represent us again without hesitation! She went above and beyond to help us obtain our property, and checked into the details that we hadn’t thought of. Extremely knowledgeable and personable, Laura will put your mind at ease!
Mary Kersnik
We can't say enough good things about Laura!!!
My husband and I are very fortunate to have met such a lovely person. Laura is a genuine, honest and warm person. Laura was most helpful in our search for a cottage. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Laura was able to guide us through the buying process with ease as well as help us transition to becoming new cottage owners. Laura was always there for us and still is.....just an email or phone call away. Even after our closing day, Laura has checked in on us many times and has helped with such things as "the cottage mechanics".....as we are new to the cottage life.
Not only was Laura our agent. She is now a friend. ❤️
We look forward to enjoying our first docktail together!
Gina Palmer
I would highly recommend Laura. Right from the on-start of our search for a waterfront cottage, she was very responsive and extremely helpful. Even with her busy schedule with the cottage Market being so hot, she was always very engaged in helping us find our gem. Her experience provided us with a wealth of excellent and useful information around cottages and cottage life. She continues to support us, even after we have closed the deal. 100% recommended!
Irene Poles
We recently purchased a property in Muskoka and Laura Stevens was our realtor. She listened to and understood our needs and helped guide us through the entire process. She was available when we needed her and we trusted her opinion completely. While at times it was frustrating at the speed of which properties were being snapped up, at no point did we ever feel overwhelmed or pressured. We truly felt that she was out for our best interests. The best part is we found a cottage that we absolutely adore and we look forward to many years of enjoying and exploring Muskoka with our family and friends. Thanks again Laura and we’ll have you over for ”docktails” this Spring.
Jennifer Norton
Working with Laura in finding our forever house was an excellent experience. Her expertise shone through as she showed us houses that met our “must have” list. She was always professional and lovely to deal with. In addition, Laura also sold my house. She highlighted my house in an interesting and unique manner that made the sale quick and seamless! Over all the entire selling/buying experience was very positive.
Chantal Saake
Laura is a fantastic real estate agent. We initially called her in 2018 to just ask general questions about purchasing a cottage. She was very patient, never pressured us and was always happy to help. She is extremely knowledgeable about cottages. She would always advise us on the pros and cons of each of the properties we were considering. She helped us to buy our dream cottage and we could not be happier with our purchase!!!
Sam Murdoch
Laura made searching for our first cottage personal and worry free. She was always available to answer our questions honestly and really invested in us. We certainly wouldn't think twice about asking Laura to help us in future property searches.
Thank you Laura for helping us to find our little perfect cottage,
Sam and Myriah
David Stevenson
Laura brings a warm touch to real estate, always willing to discuss details and go above and beyond to help you find your dream property. Once we settled into our new home, Laura continued to reach out to ensure we felt welcomed. Thank you Laura for bringing a personal touch to our experience!
Caroline Pattison
Laura was great to work with. Very flexible, personable and honest. I appreciate the time she took with us, not only when we were house hunting but also on move day when she met us at our new home to ensure all went well. I’d highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for waterfront property in Muskoka!
Craig Watson
Laura is a great real estate agent and served us well. She spent over 6 months finding our new water front home. She was very patient and came to understand our wants and needs as time went by. Always available to answer inquiries and very flexible to arrange showings. She is very knowledgeable about the Muskoka area and would go out of her way to inquire about property she was not familiar with. I would highly recommend working with her if you are looking for property in Muskoka or surrounding area.
Love our new purchase and wouldn’t have found it without Laura’s tenacity.
Thanks Laura!!
William Roberts
Working with Laura was a pleasure in so many ways. She was patient with me for many months looking all over Muskoka. Laura is very knowledgeable with every aspect of real estate throughout Muskoka. Very professional and organized. If I ever buy or sell she will be my first phone call.
Jennifer Golle
Laura was our realtor for a recent purchase in Parry Sound. Her professionalism and client care was second to none. Attention to every detail! We highly recommend her!
Tiffany & Patrick O'Neill
Laura is an amazing realtor! She put together great options for us to view and was so knowledgeable about the areas. Her insights were so valuable. She supported us through the entire process which was difficult because of certain hoops we needed to go through. We absolutely recommend Laura!!

Kerry Porter
Nancy MacSporran
Laura Stevens is THE best choice for a realtor in Muskoka. She is honest and thorough with a lot of integrity! She interviewed us to make sure we were the right fit! Laura made staging suggestions and even contributed articles of her own to give our cottage an appealing look.
Laura took care of water testing and got all the documents and inspections that you need to sell a rural property, in place before it was listed. Laura held one open house 4 days after the listing went on MLS and we had a bidding war! Laura successfully navigated us through the bidding war to help us get the ideal buyer and top dollar for our property. Laura has been a constant source of support throughout this process and her honesty and integrity has shone! I consider Laura an expert in real estate and am happy to now call her “friend”. Thank you SO much Laura for your professionalism and helping to make an emotional process such a positive experience!! Well done Laura Stevens!!
