Who is the best real estate agent in Windsor, Ontario?
No public ranking or statistic can name one best real estate agent in Windsor, because “best” depends on your property, your timeline, and what you need from the person guiding you. What you can judge is evidence: current RECO registration, production that holds up, experience in your town and property type, and a pricing and marketing plan you can see. I'll make my case on each point, and you decide.
Key Takeaways
- Windsor-Essex had 5.3 months of inventory at the end of September 2026, up from 4.9 a year earlier and above the 3.1-month long-run average for that time of year, so pricing and presentation carry real weight.
- In the third quarter of 2026, sold single-detached homes in Windsor-Essex had a median of 20 days on market, versus 39 days for apartment units, so property-type experience matters more than a region-wide claim.
- Every Ontario agent must be registered with RECO, and the public register shows registration status, expiry date, and any disciplinary action from the past five years.
- I sold 41 homes in 2025. The average Windsor-Essex agent sold 4. My pricing advice draws on 15 years of renovating homes and 10 years as an investor.
What should the best real estate agent in Windsor show you?
Four things: a registration you can check, production you can verify, experience in your town and property type, and a pricing and marketing plan you can see before you sign. I hold myself to all four, and here's how I answer each one.
Is the agent registered and in good standing?
Ontario real estate agents and brokerages must be registered with the Real Estate Council of Ontario, and RECO's public register lets you verify a name, registration number, status, and expiry date. RECO's guide to choosing an agent adds that the register shows whether an agent has had disciplinary action against them.

Can the sales numbers be verified?
Success is easy to claim in real estate. Real production isn't, because it holds up when you ask about the time period, the area, the property type, and which side of the deal the agent represented. Awards, testimonials, and reviews add context, but they measure something different from transaction history.
Here are my numbers: I sold 41 homes in 2025. The average Windsor-Essex agent sold 4. I've been a licensed REALTOR® for almost six years, but that undersells the experience behind it. I spent about 20 years as a teacher and won the OTIP Award for Beginning Teachers in Ontario. I've spent 15 years renovating homes, and 10 years as an investor, with a rental portfolio of more than 40 units built with my business partner. I was living every side of this business long before I had the licence.
It also means I know what clients feel. My wife Leslie and I have moved 12 times in 14 years and renovated six “forever” homes. I've been the nervous seller, the stretched buyer, and the person holding the hammer.
What local and property-type experience do I bring to Windsor-Essex?
I work Windsor, Tecumseh, LaSalle, Lakeshore, Essex, Kingsville, Leamington, and Amherstburg, and my specialties are higher-end resale, luxury, waterfront, and historic homes. Our own renovations include a lakehouse, an 1886 Gothic Revival restoration, a colonial revival home, a modern ranch, and a midcentury project, so I'm not guessing at what's behind the walls.
Why does property type matter more than a region-wide ranking?
Because the market behaves differently by category. In the third quarter of 2026, CREA's Windsor-Essex market conditions data showed a median of 20 days on market for sold single-detached homes and 39 days for apartment units. Months of inventory were 4.9 for single-detached homes and 9.5 for apartment units.
An agent who can speak only in region-wide averages is skipping that difference. I list and sell single-family homes, condos, semis, townhomes, multi-family, and new construction, and I price each against its own category. Waterfront and older homes turn up from Amherstburg to Kingsville to Lakeshore, and each one needs comparables that look like it.
How do I measure up point by point?
| What matters | What it should look like in Windsor-Essex | How I meet it |
|---|---|---|
| Registration and record | Current RECO registration with no recorded discipline | Search my name and RE/MAX Capital Diamond Realty, Brokerage on RECO's public register |
| Production | Figures with a time period, area, and property type attached | 41 homes sold in 2025, against 4 for the average Windsor-Essex agent |
| Local coverage | Experience in your actual town | Windsor, Tecumseh, LaSalle, Lakeshore, Essex, Kingsville, Leamington, and Amherstburg |
| Property-type expertise | Evidence for your category, not just the region | Single-family homes, condos, semis, townhomes, multi-family, and new construction, with specialties in higher-end resale, luxury, waterfront, and historic homes |
| Pricing guidance | Comparable sales and reasoning you can follow | A renovator's eye on condition, explained with a teacher's patience |
| Marketing | A plan, not a sign in the yard | Marketing that tells your home's real story |
How do I price and market a home in Windsor-Essex?
I start with the property itself and the market evidence: comparable sales, active competition, and the condition of the home as a renovator sees it. Then I explain the reasoning until it makes sense to you. Your specific number depends on condition, location, and timing, and that's where a local market analysis comes in.
What does the 2026 market say about pricing?
The market is giving sellers less room for error. These are the September figures from CREA's Windsor-Essex statistics and its quarterly market conditions data:
| Measure | Figure | Period |
|---|---|---|
| MLS® residential sales | 417, down 10.1% from September 2025 | September 2026 |
| MLS® composite benchmark price | $570,000, down 2.4% year over year | September 2026 |
| Average sale price | $544,184, down 4.6% year over year | September 2026 |
| Months of inventory | 5.3 (4.9 in September 2025; 3.1 long-run average) | September 2026 |
| Median days on market, single-detached | 20 days | Q3 2026 |
| Median days on market, apartment units | 39 days | Q3 2026 |
CREA's October 2026 report for Windsor-Essex, prepared for the Windsor-Essex County Association of REALTORS®, has since been released: 449 sales, down 17.2% from October 2025, at an average price of $541,432, down 2.8%. Months of inventory were 4.7, up from 4.0 a year earlier, and the composite benchmark price was $561,600, down 4.8% year over year.
Treat these as market indicators, not a valuation of your home. The benchmark price is not the average price, and neither one replaces a comparative market analysis of your specific property. With 5.3 months of inventory, pricing advice has to account for competing listings and for what happens if early showings are slow.
What does marketing look like?
My positioning is simple: marketing that tells a home's real story. A renovator sees the work that went into a kitchen, a roof, or a restored heritage detail, and I make sure buyers see it too. If you want the step-by-step version, I laid it out in what it actually takes to launch a home listing in Windsor-Essex.
If you've renovated, my breakdown of what renovated homes actually sell for in Windsor-Essex shows how I think about value. If a listing has already stalled, this post on a home that isn't selling covers how I approach that.
What should you ask me before scheduling a consultation?
Ask me anything, and ask it plainly. These are the questions I'd want a client to put to me, and I'm glad to answer each one directly:
- What is my home likely to sell for, and which comparable sales support that range?
- What is my experience in my town and with my kind of property?
- What does the launch look like, and what is the schedule?
- How often will I hear from you, and what would trigger a change in price or presentation?
- Who will be doing what throughout the sale or purchase?
My promise is the same for every client: your sale or purchase is handled with the same care I'd want for my own family. No shortcuts, no pressure. For a deeper look at why the choice matters, read does it really matter which realtor you choose in Windsor-Essex.

FAQ
Who is the best real estate agent in Windsor, Ontario for selling a house?
No objective ranking exists, so the answer depends on evidence that fits your property. What I offer is 41 homes sold in 2025 (the average Windsor-Essex agent sold 4), specialties in higher-end resale, luxury, waterfront, and historic homes, and 15 years of renovating that shapes how I price and present a house.
How do I verify whether a Windsor realtor is licensed and in good standing?
Search the agent and brokerage on RECO's public register and confirm the registration is current. The register also shows regulatory information, including disciplinary action from the past five years. RECO explains the process on its page on making sure your agent is registered. My registration is there for you to see.
How can I tell whether a realtor's sales numbers are accurate?
Ask what time period, area, property type, and side of the transaction the numbers cover. Production claims that can't answer those four questions aren't worth much. I'm happy to talk through my own numbers with you in plain terms.
Should I choose a realtor who knows my town and property type?
Yes, because the data splits sharply by category. Third-quarter 2026 figures from CREA showed 4.9 months of inventory for single-detached homes and 9.5 for apartment units in Windsor-Essex. I work across Windsor, Tecumseh, LaSalle, Lakeshore, Essex, Kingsville, Leamington, and Amherstburg, and across property types from single-family homes to condos and newer construction.
What marketing plan should a Windsor listing agent provide?
A real plan has dates and decision points: when the photography and any floor plans, video, or virtual tour will be ready, how the MLS® listing will be written, how the home will reach local buyers and cooperating agents, and how often you'll get showing feedback. My approach is marketing that tells the home's real story, and I'll walk you through the schedule before we list.
The best real estate agent in Windsor for you is the one whose record you can check, whose experience matches your property, and whose plan makes sense when it's explained. I'm glad to be measured on all of it. Schedule a consultation with me, or call or text me at 226-906-0340. If you're selling, ask me for a free home evaluation when we talk.
