Sell Your Cottage in Ontario Fast!

Share your cottage's location, lake, and condition, and we'll make a fair cash offer within 24 hours. We buy seasonal or year-round, waterfront or inland, as-is - no repairs, staging, or open houses, just one scheduled visit. Accept, and you can close in as little as 7 days on the date you choose.

Off-season sales are routine for us. Because we pay cash and don't depend on a spring listing crowd, we buy cottages in January just as readily as July. A snow-covered dock or a closed-up cabin won't lower our interest, since we buy as-is. Send photos and the lake name, and you'll have a cash offer within 24 hours.

We buy island and water-access-only cottages that many agents and mortgage lenders shy away from. A seasonal road, a boat-only approach, or a private lane the township doesn't plow won't stop our offer. Because we buy for cash with no financing conditions, the access issues that scare off conventional buyers aren't a problem for us.

A failing septic or an unproven well often derails a conventional cottage sale, because the buyer's lender and insurer want proof the system passes inspection and the water is safe to drink. We don't require either. We buy as-is and take care of septic, wells, and shoreline work after closing, so a tank near the end of its life won't cost you the sale.

Shoreline problems rarely faze us, whether it's erosion, a leaning boathouse, a crib dock that needs repair, or a structure at the water's edge without a permit. Waterfront rules and conservation authority approvals can stall a retail sale for months while a buyer's lawyer sorts them out. We factor the shoreline into our cash offer and take the property as-is, so you can sell a waterfront property in Ontario without fixing the water's edge first.

When siblings or several heirs share a cottage, we make one cash offer everyone can weigh together, which often settles disagreements about price or upkeep faster than a listing would. We're used to estates: the executor will need to clear probate and the Estate Administration Tax, and we can wait for that while you pick the closing date. Selling an inherited cottage this way avoids a drawn-out family listing.

A cottage that isn't your principal residence is usually taxed on its capital gain when you sell. Currently 50% of the gain is included in your income, though you should confirm the current rate and any principal-residence election with an accountant. The tax is based on your adjusted cost base, not on our cash offer, so improvements you've paid for over the years can lower what you owe.

We buy cottages across Ontario's cottage country: Muskoka (Lake Muskoka, Rosseau, and Joseph), the Kawartha Lakes (Pigeon, Sturgeon, and Balsam), Haliburton, Georgian Bay, and the Bruce Peninsula near Tobermory. Whether you want to sell a cottage in Muskoka or the Kawartha Lakes, on a busy lake or a quiet back bay, we know the local waterfront values and can make an informed cash offer.

Most cottage closings run 7 to 15 days once you accept, and you can choose a later date if you'd rather sell after the season. Leave the old furniture, the boat, the dock hardware, and whatever's in the shed, because we buy fully as-is and clear it out ourselves. One scheduled walkthrough is all we need before closing, and there are no open houses.
