Rob is an incredible person to work with. For eight years, Rob had the patience to show us properties to help us find our dream overnight camp location. We would drive for hours each fall. He never said no after all those years of visits; he just kept showing us properties until we found the perfect spot to build our dream. I thought he would give up on us, but he never did. When he found us our dream location, Rob treated us like family. 

 Rob is someone I trust and will fight to get you a fair deal and does it all with a smile.  I can’t say enough amazing things about Rob, except that even after we bought the camp, he still checks in on me and my business. He is a gem that I consider lucky to have in my life.

Buying

Our Customized Buying Services!

I take the buying process as seriously as my buyers do. Therefore, I offer nothing but the highest quality of service to my clients. When you decide to purchase your camp, resort, campground or B&B, make sure you hire someone whom you can trust and someone who wants to earn your business. Buying your future business is one of the most important purchases you will make, so make sure you have the right agent who can provide you with the experience and the service you deserve.

When you understand current market conditions, you are better able to position yourself as a Buyer. It helps to know if you are in a Seller’s, Buyer’s or Balanced market when thinking about what you can realistically afford and whether the Seller’s price is reflective of current market conditions. In a Buyer’s market, there is a lot more product available and Buyers have plenty of choices and room to negotiate. In a Seller’s market, there are fewer products available and more Buyer competition, forcing you to make quicker decisions and raise prices.

Here are some of the steps I will take to find the business that meets your requirements:

1. Determine Your Wants and Needs

This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions, I will establish what you are looking for. My goal is to not waste your time by looking at properties that are not in your price range or businesses that don’t meet your needs. Throughout the buying process, I will maintain your confidentiality and represent your best interests.

2. Help You Get Pre-Qualified

This step will show you how much you can afford.  This is accomplished by speaking with you about current cash on hand, private vs financial institutional funding and establishing what payments you will be comfortable with.

3. Property Shopping

We will use every available method to locate a property that matches your search parameters.  This will include properties listed with our office, offered through other real estate companies, as well as unlisted properties.  We will disclose all known facts about the property that are likely to affect your decision. When we find the business that meets your criteria, I will assist you in writing an offer and act as a liaison between you and the seller.

I have known Rob Heming for 40+ years.  First, as a greatly respected colleague in the camping and outdoor education community in Canada thanks to his inspiring and visionary work with the YMCA and Bark Lake Leadership Centre. More recently, Rob has been the “go to” for camping professionals across the country for real estate assessments and transactions.  Rob has been a remarkable support to our work in recent years at Wenonah and I am deeply grateful for his conscientious, thoughtful, thorough and proactive support and advocacy.

Selling

Selling a property or business you have put so much of yourself into is one of the most difficult things most of us will do. The selling process can be very complex and time-consuming; however, with the aid of my services, be certain that you will come away completely satisfied and hopefully as stress-free as possible.

One of our main responsibilities is to arrive at an accurate estimate of the value of your property or business. I ensure a detailed evaluation and analysis of every part of the property or business. Our work doesn’t stop there, as we will fully investigate the real estate market and compare your property with similar listings and sales to make sure that you receive the highest amount you deserve for your camp, resort, B&B or recreational property.

We will follow a step-by-step marketing program that will provide you with service that is professional and courteous. In the end, you will be sure that the price you set reflects the true value of your property and business under current market conditions . . . rest assured that you will be completely satisfied with your selling price once we have completed the proper research and evaluation.

We have had the pleasure to work with Rob Heming for close to 20 years. In addition to his overall knowledge of the real estate market in cottage county, he is truly the definitive expert in the purchase and sale of camp properties. He was instrumental and indispensable in helping us to purchase our camp and has continued to help and support us in other real estate ventures over the years. Rob is thorough, honest, reliable, professional and knowledgeable and we would not consider working with anyone else for our real estate needs.
