Sell Your Home or Cottage in Haliburton
Village home, waterfront cottage, or year-round property — selling in the Haliburton Highlands takes an agent who knows cottage-country buyers and prices from real comparable sales. Here's how Wade sells Haliburton properties without fluff, gimmicks, or guesswork.
Quick answer: Thinking of selling in Haliburton? Get it priced from actual recent comparable sales in the Highlands — not an automated guess, not a number designed to win the listing. Wade Kovacic, Sales Representative with CENTURY 21 Granite Realty Group Inc., Brokerage, lists Haliburton homes and waterfront cottages on the full MLS system with professional photography and direct reach into the GTA buyer pool.

Selling in Haliburton Isn't One Market
Haliburton isn't one market — it's several. A village home near downtown plays by different rules than a waterfront cottage on the Kashagawigamog chain, a four-season place near Sir Sam's, or a remote off-grid retreat. Waterfront sales bring cottage-country specifics that trip up generalist agents: shoreline road allowances, septic systems, water access versus year-round road access, and seasonal buyer timing.
Wade prices from actual comparable sales in your area — the same-street, same-lake, same-situation sales that buyers' agents will be pulling. An overpriced Highlands listing wastes your best weeks on market; a properly positioned one draws the competition that gets you the strongest price.
A Brokerage That's Actually in Haliburton
CENTURY 21 Granite Realty Group has an office in Haliburton — so your listing comes from a brokerage with a real presence in the Highlands, not an agent driving in from hours away. You'll find Wade at the CENTURY 21 Granite office at 191 Highland St, Unit 202 in Haliburton. He works the Bancroft–Haliburton corridor and lists through the CENTURY 21 MLS system, which puts your property in front of every cooperating brokerage and buyer in the region.
The GTA Buyer Advantage
Here's what most local agents can't match: Wade built his career in Durham Region before moving to cottage country, and GTA-to-cottage-country relocation is his specialty. A large share of Haliburton buyers come from the GTA — and Wade knows exactly where they're coming from, what they're searching for, and how to speak to them. Your listing reaches those buyers directly, not just whoever happens to drive through town.
What Wade Brings (and Doesn't)
Wade won't pretend he grew up in Haliburton — he'll tell you that himself. What he brings instead: 25 years as a full-time realtor across Ontario, hundreds of transactions, 59 five-star Google reviews at a perfect 5.0 rating, and three CENTURION Producer awards (2020, 2021, 2022). Honest pricing, professional marketing, and a direct answer to every question — if he doesn't know, he'll say so and find out.
What's Included When You List With Wade
- Honest pricing from real comps — not the number you want to hear, the number the market supports

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my Haliburton home or cottage worth?
It depends on the property type, location, and condition — a village home, a waterfront cottage on the Kashagawigamog chain, and a four-season property each trade on different comparable sales. Wade prices from actual recent sales in your area, not an automated estimate. Request a free valuation and he'll show you the comps behind the number.
Should I list my Haliburton cottage in the fall or wait for spring?
Spring brings the most buyers, but serious buyers shop year-round — and fall listings face less competition. The right timing depends on your property and your timeline. Ask Wade for an honest read; if waiting gets you more, he'll say so.
What do waterfront buyers in Haliburton look for?
Shoreline quality, water depth, road access (year-round vs. seasonal), septic condition, and privacy. Wade will walk you through what buyers will scrutinize so there are no surprises — and no deals falling apart over something that could have been addressed upfront.
Does Wade really work in Haliburton if he's based in Bancroft?
Yes — CENTURY 21 Granite Realty Group has an office in Haliburton, and Wade works the Bancroft–Haliburton corridor (about 45 minutes apart). Your listing is handled through the full CENTURY 21 MLS system with the same marketing as any local listing.
Why not just list with the cheapest commission agent?
Because the agent's job is to get you the best price, not the cheapest fee. An under-marketed, overpriced listing that sits for months costs far more than any commission difference. Wade's record: 59 five-star Google reviews, 5.0 rating, and three-time CENTURION Producer.
