We didn't plan to stay forever. Then Barrie did what it does to people.
We moved to Barrie when Sumant took a role at Georgian College, leading its international work across Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Over ten years, he helped grow international enrolment from 96 students to 2,200.
Barrie gave us Kempenfelt Bay on a quiet morning, long summer evenings by the water, and neighbours who said hello. It gave us a place to raise our kids. Both were born here and grew up here. Our son is now in his third year of university, and our daughter is in Grade 10. Every first day of school, graduation and birthday happened in this city.
Barrie has given us a lot. This business is how we say thank you.
We know what it takes to build a life far from where you began.
We come from Indian heritage. New streets, new paperwork, new everything, and the quiet hope that it will all be worth it. We've seen hardship first-hand, and we've seen how much it means when someone simply explains things clearly and cares how it turns out.

“It’s rare to challenge the bank’s appraisal team for the valuation of the property (you’re buying) if it comes lower than the listed price! But we could do it fair and square in all legit manner with the absolute data points and non deniable facts & figures supplied by Sarin’s team. We achieved what looked impossible and added the rarest victory feather to our hat! Kudos to Sarin’s team! You rock!”

Suhani WaliaGoogle review, Oct 2023
“We can not thank the Sarin Team enough for what they did for our family. Because of them we are now in our forever home, creating memories and a foundation for our children that we had only dreamed about. We met Shelley back in 2021 at an open house for one of the homes she was selling. We immediately felt comfortable with her and decided we wanted the Sarin Team to be our realtors. When we met Sumant shortly after, we knew we made the best decision and we were in great hands. Shelley and Sumant were patient with us throughout the whole process and made themselves available for any inquires we had on any homes that we were interested in viewing. No inquiry that we had was ever missed! Never once did they push us to "speed up the process". I truly felt like they were there for us and had our families best interest at heart. They both worked seamlessly as a team and were constantly checking in to ensure everyone was on the same page. Their patience, professionalism, honestly and work ethic are truly the reason why I'm sitting here today typing out this review in our dream home. I would recommend the Sarin Team to anyone searching for a realtor that will work for you, so that you could find yourself in your dream home too! Finding a realtor that your can really trust in one of the most important decisions in your life and is so essential. I'm glad we met Shelley and Sumant and our family will be forever grateful for everything they have done for us.”
