Therese Schell, Broker of Record
direct: (705) 528-3915 e-mail: thereseDs@rogers.com
Therese has been selling Real Estate since 1984 - and she loves her job! Therese was born and raised in the village of Lafontaine and her parents, Remi and Alma Maurice, still live in the same home where she grew up. She is fluently bilingual; speaks, reads and writes both in French and English, and she is community oriented & supports local businesses. Therese volunteers at the local YMCA as a Fitness Instructor, and for her local Legion (Penetanguishene Legion: Branch Br 68). Four years ago, she started "fiddle" lessons and today she enjoys playing music with a couple of local bands (3/4 Country & "...in a nut shell") at local venues.
“The only Real Estate challenge that I have not yet faced is owning and operating my own Brokerage … until now! My vision for this Brokerage is to create a dedicated team that works ethically, responsibly and keeps the best interests of its clients (and of each other) at the forefront. We will offer the best Real Estate service that we possibly can – and we can do it in both official languages! I am thankful for the support, encouraging words and blessings in my life."
She opened her own Brokerage ~ BUY THE SHORES of Georgian Bay Realty Inc. ~ on June 1, 2014; & customer service is the company's most important asset.
Our Brokerage believes that real estate is about people & building relationships with everyone we do business with. "We are very grateful for the support we have received from the people who entrusted us with their real estate needs!"
Merci beaucoup a toutes!

Real Estate Expert with a Personal Touch
Professional Experience Matters
Licensed Realtor® since 2008 and proud holder of a Real Estate Brokers license since March 2017, I bring a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the local market to every real estate transaction.
Background Experience Matters Too
I spent 15 years in various roles with a major Canadian retailer and an additional 4 years in print advertising and promotions for national brands, giving me a solid foundation in marketing. I grew up cottaging in Tiny Township and have lived here since 2005. This unique background ideally positions me to showcase properties effectively for my Sellers and assess properties for my Buyers, ensuring a seamless experience for each of them.
Exceptional Customer Service Advocate
My commitment to exceptional customer service is at the core of my real estate philosophy. Whether you are buying or selling, I prioritize two-way communication and education, fostering strong working relationships among all stakeholders. Understanding your wants and needs is my priority and I devote my total effort to delivering on your wish list.
Community-Driven and Outdoor Enthusiast
Beyond real estate, I’m deeply involved in my community. I share my passion for yoga through teaching and have been a Board Member of the Penetanguishene Garden Club since 2010. My daughter and I enjoy sharing equestrian life on our horses in North Tiny, while my son and I explore the great outdoors through hiking and camping in the Southern Georgian Bay area, Muskoka, and beyond.
Let’s embark on your real estate journey together!
