Team DeCoppel Re/Max Real Estate in Saugeen Shores Ontario We are a dynamic team that offers the right mix of youth & experience to provide you with a unique, refreshing and exceptional level of service. Yes. IH

You are likely like us and are tired of the typical Realtor® bios. They are like cardboard; stiff, bland and identical to every other one out there. So, instead of boasting about our awards and accomplishments that you are not interested in, we are taking the novel approach of actually giving you what you want--real answers to questions that you are probably wondering about right not. Will You ret

urn my calls and emails? Without question. I have met many Realtors® who did not live up to all of their bravado; where do you fit in? Of course, it will depend on who you ask. There are a handfull of clients who think that we leave golden footprints in the sand and then there are a few clients who were just not satisfied. Those are the two extremes and most people's opinion falls somewhere in the middle. Here is what i can tell you; we are honest and candid. We take pride in being approachable and friendly. If you require a quick real estate brain or a strong dose of honesty, you are in the right place. We are loyal to famly, clients and friends and that is one of our core values. Do you have experience doing exactly what I need? Well, until i know what your needs are, there really is no way of knowing. However, between the two of us, we have over 20 years of real estate experience so that says something. What kind of work are you really good at? On a professional level, here are the skill sets that we have developed over the years;
-listening; it may be a lost art but in this biz, we need to listen to our clients.
-getting things done whether it is assisting someone with getting their property ready to sell,
jumping over the various hurdles that often pop up along the way or just listening (once again) to our clients and the hows and whys they are doing what they are doing. What do clients think of you? Our clients are better suited to answer this for you. Here is what some of them have said;
"It has been a pleasure to work with Cleo and her daughter Jeryn while selling and purchasing our home. They were knowledgable, professional, easy to contact, friendly and fun to work with. I would highly recommend their service in buying and/selling a home. They even went that step beyond, with finding us a place to temporarily rent until our purchase closed.( very much appreciated)"
J.S. "We had an amazing house buying experience using Cleo as our real estate agent! We were first time home buyers and we toured over 20 different homes and were looking for just over a year until we found the perfect house. Cleo stuck with us, kept us informed on all the new listing, and made our first time home buying experience fun and enjoyable! My family has been using Cleo as a real estate agent for years and none of us would hesitate to use her again." CM

"Team DeCoppel have represented us on several occasions over the years and have provided top notch professional service every time. Hard working, dedicated realtors who know how to get the job done, whether you are buying or selling! We highly recommend Cleo and Jeryn for your real estate needs. Positive, high energy, creative and enjoyable experience!" SW

"Working with Cleo and Jeryn was the most rewarding experience. Not did we find the home that perfectly suited us, Cleo & Jeryn took extra care to ensure that our interests were safeguarded. We did save money by following their professional advise. I have heard very good comments about this team from others in Bruce County. Cleo was referred to us via a friend who had an extremely good experience with this team. We are so grateful that we found them. Our 2 daughters loved going out for viewings with this team." SK

"I sincerely enjoyed working with Team DeCoppel as a first time buyer! They are very professional yet relatable and friendly! Always available to answer any questions I had and very easy to schedule viewings with. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Saugeen Shores! Cleo & Jeryn are extremely hard working, very knowledgeable of the housing market and made my first buying experience wonderful. I look forward to working with them again in the future." CW

"My husband and I were hosted by Cleo DeCoppel around Port Elgin and Southampton many, many times while searching for THE house. Unfortunately, we didn't find what we were looking for but subsequently were told by friends in the area of a house that might be on the market shortly. So we found THE house through a private sale. We informed Cleo about the situation and she couldn't have been nicer or more understanding. I would definitely recommend her as your realtor if and when you are looking for a home in this area."

📉 The Pricing Trap Nobody Talks About 📉

In a buyer’s market, pricing your home is a balancing act — and getting it wrong on either side can cost you.

Most people understand the risks of overpricing a home. It sits on the market, buyers lose interest, and sellers often end up chasing the market with price reductions.

But what happens when a home is priced too low?

🚫 This is where things get interesting.

In a hot seller’s market, underpricing can sometimes spark a bidding war that pushes the final sale price well beyond expectations. But today’s market is different. Buyers have more choices, more negotiating power, and a much clearer understanding of value.

Yes, an underpriced home may still sell over asking. But that doesn’t automatically mean it sold well.

One of the biggest risks of underpricing is accepting a quick offer before the market has had a chance to respond. By doing so, you may be cutting off other buyers who would have viewed the property, become interested, and potentially competed for it.

At the same time, today’s buyers aren’t typically throwing caution to the wind. They know what comparable homes are selling for. They understand value. A true “deal” is rare in this market — but buyers know one when they see one, and they move quickly when they do.

That’s why:

👉 Over-asking doesn’t always mean over-valued.
👉 Under-asking doesn’t always mean well-sold.

The goal isn’t to create a frenzy. The goal is to create confidence.

Something else worth considering: sales that occur significantly below market value don’t just affect one seller. Those sales become future comparables that can influence surrounding property values and shape buyer expectations moving forward.

🏡 If most homes in your area are taking weeks or months to sell, yours probably shouldn’t be selling in a single day unless it offers something truly exceptional that buyers are actively competing for. Waterfront properties, rare locations, unique features, and highly sought-after homes are often the exception — not the rule.

The right price doesn’t leave money on the table, and it doesn’t leave your home sitting on the market.

It finds the sweet spot in between.

Before you start scrolling listings or calling anyone though, there are a few things worth figuring out first.
Most people I talk to about this are initially focused on what they’ll be leaving behind. They’re worried about walking away from their extra bedrooms, the yard, the square footage that honestly doesn’t really get used anymore. But when you flip this thinking and look at what you’re moving toward instead, everything shifts.
Start asking yourself these key questions instead:
What do you want your day to day life to look like in a downsized home?
How much space do you genuinely need?
What matters most to you? Walkability score, being closer to family, less maintenance?
Get clear on those answers first.
Because downsizing with clarity is one of the most liberating moves you can make. But, when done with uncertainty, it can feel like a compromise you didn’t sign up for.
We would love to sit down with you and discuss what your future downsized home looks like. This is truly one of our favorite conversations to have.

‘Scream + Cry’ is a legitimate business strategy, right?

Honestly, though? We wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Real estate is exciting, rewarding, stressful, unpredictable, and usually held together by coffee (Diet Coke) and sheer determination. ☕🏡

The 2026 market has certainly kept us on our toes. Every day brings a new challenge, a new opportunity, and a reminder that no two transactions are ever the same. There are plenty of moments that test our patience, creativity, and problem-solving skills—but helping our clients navigate some of life’s biggest decisions makes it all worthwhile.

Despite the chaos, we genuinely love what we do. We love the people, the relationships, and the privilege of helping our clients through some of life’s biggest transitions.

So yes, there may be the occasional scream, maybe a tear here + there.

But there are also happy tears, accepted offers, possession days, and a lot of grateful hearts along the way. 🏡❤️

We’re ready for whatever the rest of 2026 throws at us.
