J & CClient testimonial

Susan’s patience, kindness, perserverance and professionalism came through in all these months of house hunting! Thank you!

Carol G.Client testimonial

Susan was recommended to me by neighbours who I respect, which says a lot about her integrity and knowledge. As soon as I listed with Susan, she was calling potential buyers, communicating with existing clients, and constantly seeking new leads. Marketing is one of her strengths! I felt that I was her only client but knew she had many listings at the same time. She has a deep understanding of the area I was selling in and she has a strong sales history to back up her claims. Who knew the ‘sweet spot in February’ was our time! She was very supportive and impartial and a real expert in her field! Susan was always working towards a great outcome for all parties, as she was representing the buyers too in this case. She constantly kept me in the loop. A quick text meant a lot to me, with quick precise information. We were both working toward the same goal - a good deal - and we got it!

Barb KClient testimonial

I had the pleasure of working with Susan as a buyer and a seller. In each case, the process can be overwhelming and stressful. Susan was highly professional and understanding in both circumstances. She brought a sense of calm and even humour in walking through the processes and in setting realistic expectations which, not surprisingly given her commitment to her clients, actually exceeded those expectations. I have and will continue to recommend Susan to anyone I know looking to buy or sell!

M. GabouryBuyer & Seller

Professional patient & absolutely outstanding! We were nervous about selling our home, but Susan made the entire process seamless. From staging advice to marketing strategies she walked us through everything with patience and transparency. Our house sold quickly and above asking price! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Sarah R.Client testimonial

We have had the pleasure of partnering with Susan for the past 6 years for our real estate needs. Susan is a very experienced professional who is passionate about building relationships with her clients. She takes the time to understand our needs and makes strong recommendations. She performs all due diligence when selecting tenants and has helped us get excellent tenants for our new home build in Port Stanley. She has strong knowledge of the market and is very well connected to the Port Stanley community. We also hired her as our Listing agent for our principal residence in London, and we were very pleased with her timely responses and her negotiation skills. We strongly recommend Susan to all our friends and family, and we cherish our relationship with her.

Abi B.Client testimonial

We had a very positive experience with Susan Tanton as our Agent! Susan worked with us to find our retirement home. Being new to the area Susan’s knowledge of the Port Stanley market and lifestyle was invaluable to us! We were prepared with listings and Susan was able to understand our needs and bring forward other options for us to consider from a very limited inventory. Her assessment of the market was very honest and accurate during a very volatile time. This gave us confidence to move forward with an offer on the perfect home for us even though “waiting” may have been prudent. The heart wants what the heart wants! We took the leap of faith and haven’t looked back! Susan was correct about the unique market situation found in such an amazing resort town community. We are happy with our new home! Thank you!

Port Stanley / Elgin Guidance

Useful questions before you narrow a Port Stanley search

Port Stanley and Central Elgin housing choices often involve nearby Elgin County towns, rental seasons, and income-property tradeoffs. These cards help you compare search width, relocating in, use type, price framing, long-term versus seasonal rentals, and why a London brokerage office still fits a Port Stanley focus.

Search Width

How wide should your home search be across Port Stanley, Central Elgin, and nearby St. Thomas?

Start with Port Stanley and Central Elgin, then add St. Thomas or other Elgin County options only when a clear need is not met inside that first map. Write down budget, commute, and full-time versus cottage use before expanding the radius so tours stay focused.

Relocating In

What should you figure out before relocating to Port Stanley or elsewhere in Central Elgin / Elgin County?

Decide search radius, property use, budget range, and timeline before you book a full day of Port Stanley or Elgin County showings. Residential Relocation is a directory-stated specialty on Susan's REALTOR.ca profile, and a short written brief keeps the first conversation practical.

Use Type

How do you choose a full-time Port Stanley home, a cottage, or a rental-potential property?

Separate full-time living, cottage or second-home use, and rental or income use early, because each path changes what you tour and what questions you ask. Port Stanley Rentals frames long-term, off-season, and summer rentals for renters and home or cottage owners.

Price Framing

What price and property-type questions should you ask before touring Port Stanley homes?

Recent public asks associated with Susan's Port Stanley inventory have included roughly $353,700 for a 2-bed / 1-bath home on Orchard Street and $890,000 for a multifamily / triplex on Erie Street. That is a small public sample, not a sold average or luxury claim.

Rental Seasons

What is different about long-term versus seasonal Port Stanley rentals, and what should you clarify first?

Susan operates Port Stanley Rentals with a stated focus on long-term, off-season, and summer rentals for renters, investors, and home or cottage owners. Timing, furnishings, and length of stay change the conversation, so bring those details to the first call.

Office Versus Market

Does a London CENTURY 21 office still make sense if your search is focused on Port Stanley?

Yes. Susan E. Tanton's brokerage office is in London, while her marketed real estate concentration is Port Stanley, Central Elgin, and Elgin County shoreline communities. Public branding, LinkedIn concentration, Port Stanley Rentals, and Port Stanley listing activity support a Port Stanley / Elgin focus.
