Selling Storeys by Telling Stories
143 Metcalfe, Elora, ON
In 2018, the client purchased this property in Elora. It had undergone a significant conversion that transformed it from a 3-storey medical office building into a fabulous mixed-use property. Combining 8 luxury apartments, and two main-floor retail units, there were several obstacles to overcome. Continuously changing architectural plans, and a labyrinth of required permits—it was definitely an adventure.
Crossing Borders With Confidence
206 Saunders Rd, Barrie
Buying property in another country can be stressful. When a US-based company came to Maven by way of a referral from a local banker and trusted advisor, David Brophey, the market was highly competitive. Facing a 0.7% vacancy rate for commercial properties, they were open to acquiring space for lease or for purchase.

Come North & Prosper
46 Line 3 N
At Maven Commercial, we believe that the key to success in commercial real estate is to use a customized marketing approach when listing and selling a property. When we were approached by a client who wanted to set the bar high for his exit strategy, we knew that we had to take a different approach than what everyone else was doing.
When Relationships Result in Revenue Streams
386 Tiffin St, Barrie
Our clients are not just investors… they are running businesses! Such is the case, that one of our clients shared with us that he was trying to break into the Barrie area as a new market for his LED billboard sign business. He asked for our help to cross pollinate with our other land-owning clients to introduce an opportunity for him to place his billboards on their properties and generate 4 times the income typically offered by billboard sign companies in rent.
Due Diligence Pays Off
28 Rawson Ave. Barrie ON, L4N 6E7
Our client was engaged in a bid for the recycling contract for the City of Barrie. To demonstrate viability for the bidding process, they required industrial land on which to set up their operations. The right site needed to satisfy multiple requirements, both within the criteria of the bid process as well as key principles held by our client.
Helping our clients keep their eyes on the bigger picture
In April, a client (a doctor looking to move his medical practice into an owned asset) referred his investment partner to our founding team member, Stephanie Maye, to handle and negotiate a potential “off market” investment that his partner tripped over. The asset being considered was a 32-Unit, 4 storey, Senior Living facility, which was sandwiched between a restaurant and a completely vacant multi-unit Residential building.
Testimonials
Straight From Our Clients
“I was referred to Stephanie when I was going through the process of selling my business which also co-incided with needing to move it off the land that it was located on because the land on which it was operating was being prepared to be sold to developers.
There were so many moving parts but Stephanie stayed the course and became a trusted adviser as I navigated through so many layers of complexity in this transition.
Bottom line is that she not only pointed out the potential snags of the process but her collaborative style made it easier to digest the collective advice from various mergers and acquisitions and real estate lawyers, accountants, and other advisers to be pulled into context. Stephanie and her entire team understands business and the land market and I would recommend engaging Maven Commercial Real Estate for any real estate needs of a business or investor anywhere in Simcoe County.”
“As the owners of Deck Source Inc, an international distribution company of CUTEK® exterior wood care products located here in Simcoe County, we have worked with Stephanie and the Maven CRE team on 10 different transactions since Maven launched, all while our own company went through explosive growth. And we’re not done yet!
We have learned while working together over the years that the folks at Maven CRE get it and they appreciate the risk that we’re taking as business owners. We know we can trust Stephanie’s advice and recommendations that factor into our considerable cost/ benefit analyses. I’m sure she could rattle off all kinds of metrics about the market and why it’s doing what it’s doing, but why we trust her instincts comes down to the fact she delivers what she says she can deliver.
Maven CRE has a true leader with a cohesive vision for the business community.”
