Lonnie Herrington Real Estate "A Realtor. A Contractor. A Friend. 40+ years of trade expertise meets an honest approach to real estate."

10/03/2026

YOUR HOME. YOUR HARD WORK. YOUR EQUITY. I’M ON YOUR SIDE.

Your home represents years of hard work. Mortgage payments. Renovations. Weekends spent building a deck, tending the gardens or turning a house into a home. When you decide to sell, those years deserve thoughtful attention.

I’m Lonnie Herrington.

A Realtor® A Contractor A Friend.

Those words describe how I approach your property—and how I work for you.

As your REALTOR®, I study comparable sales, competing listings and buyer feedback. I listen to your goals, your timeline and your concerns. My job is to give you honest advice you can understand, market your property thoughtfully and negotiate with your best interests at heart.

Before I recommend a price, I want to understand what you have. Before I recommend a reduction, I want you to understand why.

MY CONTRACTOR’S EYE HELPS ME SEE THE DETAILS.

I look at the land, the size and layout of the home, the construction and the condition. I consider local building costs and what it would take to create similar features today.

The attached garage. The extra garage or workshop. The finished basement. The landscaping, mature trees and flower beds. The improvements you have invested in and the practical advantages they offer a buyer.

I also look for visible deficiencies, maintenance concerns and opportunities to enhance your home’s appeal. Sometimes it is a repair worth discussing. Sometimes it is better photography or making sure buyers understand a feature that has been overlooked.

Building costs do not automatically determine market value. But understanding the property helps me explain its strengths, choose appropriate comparisons and build a more informed marketing strategy.

YOU DESERVE MORE THAN “LET’S JUST DROP THE PRICE.”

If a price adjustment is warranted, I will explain the evidence. We will discuss the options and how they fit your circumstances.

The same applies to commission. You deserve to understand the services, marketing and representation included in the fee we agree upon.

I want you to feel informed and supported when making decisions about one of your largest assets.

AND THEN THERE’S THE FRIEND PART.

Buying or selling often comes with a bigger life change. A growing family, a new job, downsizing, financial pressure or a fresh start.

I want to know what matters to you. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, raising concerns and picking up the phone.

I’ll be straight with you—even when the conversation is difficult. I cannot promise a particular sale price, but I can commit to doing the work, explaining my advice and putting your interests first.

To my friends, past clients and those I haven’t met yet: if you are thinking about buying or selling in Belleville, Quinte West, Greater Napanee or Prince Edward County, let’s have a conversation.

You’ve worked hard for your home. I’ll work hard for you.

2. Manufacturing and food processing

Belleville, Quinte West and Napanee form an important Eastern Ontario manufacturing corridor. The Bay of Quinte has more than 100 manufacturers, and manufacturing and related industries generate more than half of the region’s estimated $12-billion economic output.

Employment includes:

Supervisors, engineers and logistics staff

A current example is Goodyear in Greater Napanee recruiting production technicians at approximately $29.55–$35.98 per hour.

Commercial driving
Warehousing
Dispatching
Shipping and receiving
Fleet maintenance
Distribution and supply-chain management

This sector is particularly concentrated around Belleville, Trenton and Napanee.

6. Prince Edward County employment

Prince Edward County has a high proportion of small businesses. Tourism and hospitality remain important, but health care, skilled trades, construction and professional services are increasingly needed.

Current municipal openings include nursing and customer-service positions. The County specifically identifies health-care workers and construction tradespeople as being in demand. Hospitality opportunities are plentiful but can be seasonal. Prince Edward County employment information

Nurses, RPNs and nurse practitioners
Correctional officers at approximately $32.15–$37.79 per hour
Manufacturing and production technicians
Licensed automotive and truck mechanics

Food-service and hospitality employees
Administrative and customer-service staff
Municipal and communications employees
Cleaners, delivery workers and general labourers

Work in Quinte and Loyalist Community Employment Services currently show jobs across manufacturing, construction, health care, food service, administration, customer service and general labour.

Overall assessment

The region does not rely on one employer or industry. Its greatest employment strengths are:

Stable public-sector, health-care and defence employment
A substantial manufacturing base
Continued demand for skilled trades
Highway 401 logistics and distribution opportunities
Tourism, hospitality and agricultural employment in Prince Edward County
More affordable housing than many larger Ontario employment centres

For prospective homebuyers, the most attractive employment corridor runs from Napanee through Belleville to Trenton, with most communities located within a reasonable commuting distance of several different employment centres. Prince Edward County offers a strong lifestyle advantage, although some residents commute to Belleville or operate their own businesses because local hospitality work can be seasonal.

BAY OF QUINTE GROWTH IS MOVING—BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOUR PROPERTY?

This week’s most important real estate news is not a sudden change in prices—it is where future housing and development may be headed.

Belleville has officially begun public consultation on a new planning strategy for Cannifton, Corbyville Village and the nearby Northeast Industrial Park. These areas are expected to experience significant growth, and the city is now examining how future land use, infrastructure and economic development should be coordinated.

In Quinte West, a zoning application for 0 Creswell Drive proposes four five-storey apartment buildings containing 64 residential units. The application is heading to a public meeting and has not yet been approved, but it is another sign that central Trenton continues to attract interest in higher-density housing.

At the national level, CMHC’s newest housing-supply research says Canada must build approximately 187,000 to 238,000 more homes every year—above expected construction—to restore affordability over the next decade. That is an important reminder that although today’s buyers remain careful and price-sensitive, the long-term need for housing has not disappeared.

For sellers, this means location and property utility matter more than ever. Homes with good parking, usable yards, garages, workshops, completed improvements or access to growing communities can stand apart—but only when they are priced correctly.

For buyers, proposed development can create opportunity, but it requires careful investigation. A planning study is not an approval, and “future potential” should always be verified through zoning, servicing, access and municipal policy.

Whether you are buying or selling a home, waterfront property, rural acreage or vacant land, you need advice based on the property—not simply a regional average.
