I can't believe it has been 22 years already that I have been in this industry...
My interest in the construction industry began when I was very young. My father was a builder and I would go to work with him on PA days or on weekends. I would help him paint the corners in the closets,obviously at 7 years old this was the safest place to make a painting mistake, hold nails, tape drywall and sand baseboards. Little did I know that these little 'helper' jobs,as small as they seemed at the time, would contribute to my profession in Real Estate.
I started in the business in Tillsonburg working with one of the best realtors in the area and then moved to downtown Toronto where I was mentored for six years by some of the city's top-producing agents and brokers.
I enjoyed working in Toronto and I still stay in touch with the people who helped to shape my career. I especially appreciate Joy Verde to whom I am eternally grateful for sharing her expertise in the industry ( www.joyverde.com). Working in the core of the city taught me to strive for excellence and to place my clients first. I have brought that quality and professionalism to Muskoka.

My wife and I operated a Bed and Breakfast in Muskoka for a number of years. When the time came for us to sell we spoke with a number of agents. We chose Ragan to represent us; it was the right choice. She was the one who showed the most respect for our home and our personal needs. Ragan offered advice and tips to help us with our move and worked tirelessly on our behalf , always exuding a sunny optimistic approach. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am thrilled to thank and recommend Ragan Zilic as the Real Estate Agent that will find you your dream cottage. We met Ragan last year when she agreed to drive us around the Muskoka region. Our goal was to explore; her goal was to learn about her new clients and tap into their needs, interests, and likes.

Like you I moved to Muskoka and will never be a local. I wish now that I had had a friend or a guide who was able to understand the transition I was going through. Someone who had done the move ahead of me; someone who could show me the ropes. I can be that guide and friend to you. I would love to show you the ins and outs of the real Muskoka.
The Muskoka that is still vibrant and alive after the leaves have changed and the cottagers have headed south. I can answer your questions too, about those things that come up after you have settled in. Questions about the well water, the septic tank, and whether you can pull the plants from your waterfront.
Like you I made the move from a City to Cottage Country and I have a unique perspective that sets me apart from other agents. I understand the lifestyle changes that occur when relocating, and also the shifts in thinking that must occur when owning and maintaining a cottage property.
My approachable manner, combined with my deep knowledge of Muskoka real estate, will give you the confidence that you have found a friendly insider who is happy to share my knowledge, and a trusted friend who will help you to make the best choice and investment for your lifestyle.
