“We were very happy with Fionna’s objective and honest advice when hunting for our home. She was a pleasure to work with. Fionna is very dependable and her extensive knowledge of the real estate market was instrumental in finding the perfect house for our family.”

Chris

“Taking time out from patting myself on the back for choosing you as my agent to let you know how much I appreciate all you did over the past month. From start to finish of the emotionally and financially complex process known as ‘Selling a House’, you handled everything with expertise, coordination and best of all, understanding and humour. The fact that my home never looked better thanks to your wise suggestions, combined with your experience and expert pricing, created the best possible scenario to attract appropriate buyers—and get the best results! I couldn’t be happier—thank you for all your efforts on my behalf…”

Charlene

“The purchase of our Port Hope home was somewhat unexpected. While we had talked about leaving Toronto, it was meant to be at ‘some point’ in the future. Out one day for a country drive, we fell in love with a historic property with Fionna as the listing agent. Her professionalism was clear right away as we were without an agent and she recommended an independent local expert to provide an objective point of view. Once we had untaken our due diligence, not only did Fionna facilitate both sides of the transaction, she also made sure we understood what we could expect moving from the city. She introduced us to the amenities and services that Port Hope had to offer, as well as many of the people who today we count as dear friends. It made for a very soft landing.

Later, when we met her daughter Joanna, we could see that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, as she too had a wonderful welcoming ease combined with real estate expertise. They are a fabulous team!”

Paula Roberts

“We can’t thank you enough for all the help you gave us in selling our home last Fall. Right from the very beginning, from the time you assessed the value of our property, to the ultimate sale of it, your professionalism was front and centre. The feature brochures you prepared were top-notch and the online photos on the internet were also first-rate. We are very happy that you secured such a delightful couple to purchase our home. We have been very active in introducing them to some of our friends in the village, so we hope they are pleased with their decision to move to Millbrook and experience the wonderful warmth of our community.”

Lyell & Jean

“Fionna made my challenge to sell that much easier by taking the stress out of it. She organized the decluttering and packing with professionals before it went on the market.  Having a large and very unique country property required someone who had experience in both the local market and equally as important the Toronto market. Her experience in both markets and her connections paid off handsomely.  I would recommend Fionna for her organizational strength marketing and negotiation skills. She was everything a seller could ask for. ”

George

“I would like to thank you for the work you did in helping us sell our house and in helping us find our new home. It was clear that you knew the market and that you were able to guide us through the lengthy process to our beneficial end. We appreciated your honesty and integrity as we worked through our options. As well, it was evident that you had good working relationships with the other agents from the various companies that were encountered. Thanks again, very much appreciated.”

Lou

“ Buying & selling real estate is usually fraught with challenges. Fionna’s knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail made working with her for both our home purchase and condo sale last summer a very simple process. She immediately found the home we had been looking for and we sold the condo in a matter of days, over asking with multiple offers. Fionna always keeps her client’s best interests in sharp focus. She is is highly ethical, honest & a just a delight to have in your corner. There is a positive, calm ease to the way Fionna conducts herself and we felt confident throughout the entire process. She is now the only realtor we recommend to family & friends.”

June, Walter & Lucie

“I have known Fionna for 18 years. She has helped me sell two houses, purchase three, and rent another. Fionna’s market knowledge and candid advice have always served me well, and I am pleased to recommend her services.”

The beautiful “rolling hills” of Northumberland.

Fionna Barrington Northumberland County Real Estate

Northumberland County is one of the most beautiful counties in Ontario and is often forgotten by tourists or potential residents. Frequently, people thinking of moving to the east of Toronto skip over us and opt for Prince Edward County (the Bay of Quinte area) without giving Northumberland serious consideration. This is often a mistake as Northumberland has many features not offered anywhere else.

Port Hope – Founded around the time of the American Revolution, the town has grown in fits and starts over the years. Once a thriving port, it was fiercely competitive with Cobourg, vying for traffic on railroads leading to Peterborough and the rest of Canada.
