🎄 Butter Tarts Make A Great Gift For A Senior In Our Community This Chirstmas!
Join us this Saturday, Nov. 22nd from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. at the WELLINGS OF CORUNNA CRAFT SHOW — we’ll be selling delicious holiday butter tarts, and we’d love your support!
❤️ Specialty tarts are $22 for 6 and $10 from every tart sale will go directly to Sarnia Blessings — a remarkable local charity that provides homemade meals to seniors, post-surgery clients, and people in recovery across Lambton County. Sarnia Blessings is now based at the Wellings of Corunna and is 100% volunteer-run, relying on donations and community support to keep their mission going.
🎁 Gift Option: You can choose to take the tarts home for yourself — or bless a senior in our community with them. We’ll wrap them beautifully, include a personalized Christmas card, and Sarnia Blessings will personally deliver the gift to someone who might truly appreciate a sweet treat and a little holiday cheer.
Let’s come together, share joy, and give back this Christmas. Hope to see you on Saturday! 💛

🎉 JUST SOLD! 🎉

A huge thank you and congratulations to our wonderful seller — and congratulations to the buyers and their realtors, Greg & Lynn Findlay from Exit Realty Community!

We were able to sell this home quickly, a great reminder that when a home is uniquely showcased to prospective buyers and priced right , it stands out — even in a market with over 600 homes for sale in Lambton County.

Our seller was ready to downsize, and we were thrilled to guide her through both the sale and helping her find the perfect next home. This is exactly what we love to do!

🏡 About the Home
This charming Lakeshore-area side split is the perfect example of the homes we’re proud to market — warm, inviting, and full of lifestyle appeal. Just steps from beaches, trails, and great schools, it offered bright living spaces, thoughtful updates, and a backyard oasis complete with an in-ground pool and total privacy.

If you’re thinking of making a move — whether selling your current home or finding the perfect new one — we’d love to help you do the same.

🎉 SOLD! A Big Thank You to Our Sellers 🎉

We were able to list this wonderful property and find the perfect buyer — even in one of the toughest markets we’ve seen in years. A huge congratulations to our amazing clients, and thank you for trusting us through every step of the process! 💛

Their beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Bluewater Country truly shined. With its bright open-concept layout, updated kitchen and bathrooms, cozy new bedroom carpets, and a peaceful sunroom overlooking the backyard, it was such a joy to showcase. And let’s not forget the incredible community amenities — the indoor pool, fitness centre, event hall, and more — that make Bluewater Country such a special place to call home.

Helping people downsize, find the right lifestyle fit, and move smoothly into communities like Bluewater Country is something we truly love to do.

If you're thinking about a move — whether you’re selling, downsizing, or searching for your ideal home in a community like this — we’d love to help you too.
