What makes Bruce and Grey so captivating, enticing, and a destination thousands return to year round?
More than a getaway, “Ontario’s West Coast” is a sought-after lifestyle destination and a steady investment market. Continued migration from urban centres and sustained second-home demand are driving long-term appeal. With limited waterfront and protected landscapes, ownership here offers not just a retreat - but enduring value.
So when serious, motivated buyers who are in that decision making mindset attend the Spring Cottage Life Show looking for an informed introduction to everything that Grey and Bruce has to offer, Terri Hastings, Jessica Hastings-Lesperance, and Adam Lesperance - the leadership team behind Terri Hastings Real Estate Group - specializes in making it happen.
"Every year, we have buyers booking private showings directly from our booth, and we also have cottage owners who live in the city come specifically to speak with our leadership team about listing their properties in Grey and Bruce," Hastings said. "Many of them seek us out because of our deep local roots and experience in this market.”
From waterfront, luxury, and residential homes to commercial buildings and investment opportunities, Terri Hastings Real Estate Group takes a proactive approach to the market, strategically connecting buyers with exclusive real estate opportunities. By going beyond traditional listing methods, they help buyers discover dream properties that might otherwise go unnoticed.
They'll continue to achieve this by showcasing their offerings at the upcoming 31st Cottage Life Spring Show in Mississauga from March 26-29. It’s where Cottage Country meets the big city. The Spring Cottage Show presents an incredible opportunity to showcase clients' listings to a targeted audience of city buyers. With thousands of attendees, your property gains unparalleled exposure, significantly increasing the chances of attracting interested buyers.
Positioned as a proactive buyer-matching and seller-amplification strategy - not just a marketing presence - the Terri Hastings Leadership team focuses on curated, high-intent conversations and early-stage buyer engagement to connect qualified purchasers directly with the right properties.
The show is an event for all things cottages, whether that be outdoor activities and watersports, or the latest developments in cottage design and updating your outdoor spaces. It’s a gathering where the Terri Hastings Real Estate Group attends not simply to promote listings, but to strategically meet motivated buyers at the very beginning of their search journey and showcase that Bruce and Grey Counties offer an exceptional abundance of cottages and summer homes ready to match their lifestyle aspirations.
"We regularly have sellers tell us they choose to list with our qualified team specifically because we attend the Cottage Life Show” said Hastings. “With the level of competition in today’s market, this event allows our team to amplify their buyer pool quickly by putting their property in front of serious, motivated buyers who are already thinking about making a move.”
The Cottage Life Spring Show isn’t about convincing a buyer to invest in a cottage, it’s about helping buyers decide where, when, and how, while ensuring sellers are positioned to meet that demand at exactly the right time. In a competitive market, the show allows the Terri Hastings Real Estate Group to engage with motivated, high-intent buyers at the earliest stage of their search, well before many purchasing decisions are finalized.
