Marcus Thorne

Marcus does the waterfront. He has been on and around Sparrow Lake and the lower Muskoka chain since he was a teenager, and he has opinions about shoreline that are worth listening to before you make an offer.

Frontage, exposure, water depth at the dock, and whether the road is maintained in winter matter more than square footage on these properties, and they are the first four things he'll talk about.

He'll also tell you when a cottage is priced on its view rather than its structure.
