Sarah Bakker
Raised on the serene shores of Simcoe County, Sarah knew this is where she wanted to raise her family. Along with her College sweetheart, Kevin, they bought their first home and began their Simcoe chapter.
As a Mother to Sophia and Blair, Sarah enjoys paddle boarding along the shorelines of Lake Simcoe and enjoying days at the beach. Sarah loves to explore new trails, shopping at local home and fashion boutiques and catching up with friends to savour a latte, gelato or fresh fries.
Rebecca Leeds
Growing up in South Simcoe, Rebecca has strong roots in our community. Purchasing her second home alongside her Husband, Rebecca continues to put down roots in Simcoe. Welcoming their Daughter into the world has been a beautiful new chapter. Whether on the shore of Lake Simcoe or spending time at their new cottage, Rebecca can be found enjoying the outdoors and creating memories lakeside.
