About

Hello! My wife, Caroline, and I have been involved in the real estate industry since before moving to Canada in 2003. With 3 children we moved here from the UK, looking for a place to call home and raise our young family. Previously in the UK, we were both involved in the finance industry and have a really good knack for looking at the numbers and working out the bottom line for our real estate clients.

Both Caroline and I are real estate brokers and I also hold a 'Fellow of the Real Estate Institute' designation), FRI. Our business is based in Barrie, where we have a small team of highly trained and skilled Realtors that to help our clients across Simcoe County. We transact around 80-100 deals a year with 100% of them being in the resale market. Since gaining our licenses in 2006, we have worked with all types of Real Estate within the area and are well-positioned to help you move to the next stage in your life.

As first time home buyers, we thought that shopping for our first house would be stressful and intimidating, but thanks to Caroline and her team (Barry and others) the experience turned out to be enjoyable and stress free. Caroline does a great job finding properties that match your taste and budget, replies promptly to inquiries and always would help with and advice. We are looking forward for more business with Hocking team. Recommend 100%.

Mary Lou and I had decided to downsize in 2013 and after a referral from a friend came into contact with Ian and Caroline Hocking from Keller Williams Real Estate. They were both terrific. They made the whole process relatively pain-free from selling our place to finding the right new home for us. We couldn't be happier with our new home. We found both Ian and Caroline not only to be very professional and knowledgeable but also understanding, honest and forthright.

Ian and Caroline have helped my husband and I buy and sell residential properties in the Barrie area over the past five years. They took the time to understand our situation and unique requirements. The timely insights they presented about the Barrie market that helped us make smarter decisions. Ultimately saving us time, money and aggregation. I would highly recommend this dynamic duo to first time buyers and investors. Their professionalism and patience is refreshing and you can trust them to steer you in the right direction. Plus I'll bet you will love their British accent.

I can't say enough about Ian and his team. Ian is very knowledgeable about real estate in Barrie and in surrounding communities. He helped me to get a great price for the house I was selling, even arranging (at no charge to me) for an interior designer to walk through the house with me and provide many tips to make the house looks it's best.

Ian was very patient while I looked at dozens of houses to try and find one I wanted to purchase. He definitely seemed more interested in making sure I made the right decisions than he was in just making a sale, which isn't true for all agents.

Ian provided great advice every step of the way, and was encouraging when I was just about ready to give up. (With the competitive 2021 market, I tried for 5 homes before I was successful.) Ian and his team work very smoothly together, so that the one or two times I wanted to see a house but Ian was not free, another agent stepped in and I never had to wait.

Ian was very responsive to my emails and te
