by Kris Ramotar

Thinking of buying or selling a home in Windsor-Essex County this summer? Here’s everything you need to know—real numbers, real stories, and some honest advice from me, Kris Ramotar, your local Windsor real estate agent.

What Buyers Need to Expect

Offer dates are still happening—yes, even in this slower market. If a home is priced aggressively, staged well, and located in a good area, expect multiple offers and over-asking sales.

A few of my clients recently faced heavy competition. We got firm offers accepted after strategic staging, professional photography, and targeted marketing.

Hot buyer segment? Homes priced between $349,000 and $400,000 are flying off the market. First-time buyers—this is your battleground.

Buyer Tip: Get pre-approved. Do a pre-inspection if possible. Be ready to act fast but don’t lose your head. If the house doesn’t feel right—you wait. Regret is expensive.

For Sellers: Why Presentation & Price Matter

This month, we sold two homes:
🏡 A semi-detached home in Tecumseh (listed at $499K) and
🏠 A starter home (listed at $299K) in Central Windsor.

Both were decluttered, painted, staged, cleaned, and marketed like million-dollar listings—because every home deserves that kind of respect.

One client from the GTA reached out after months of watching my videos. We coordinated 13 showings between Windsor, Amherstburg, Lakeshore, and Chatham—all in one day. It’s this level of service and trust that builds lifelong relationships.
