Kirby Chan, Broker
eXp Realty Brokerage
Kirby has spent more than 20 years in real estate. He works with buyers and sellers across Muskoka and writes the guides on this site himself, with the sources listed under each one.
Buying or selling in Muskoka brings questions that a city purchase rarely does. Who owns the strip of land between the road and the water. Whether the septic system is approved. What the township allows for a dock or a boathouse. How you reach a property by boat in winter. Each guide here answers one of those with the rule and the place to confirm it.
Kirby Chan & Co. Real Estate Team is registered at 8763 Bayview Ave #127, Richmond Hill, ON L4B 3V1. Call 416-305-8008 or write to info@kirbychanandco.com.
How this site works
What you can expect from the guides
- 01
Every figure has a source
Prices, tax rates and rules on this site come from named sources, with the date each was checked. They are listed at the foot of every guide.
- 02
Land and water explained
Muskoka properties raise questions a town home does not: shore road allowances, septic systems, docks, boathouses and road access. The guides take each one in turn.
- 03
General information, not advice
Legal, tax and septic questions belong with a lawyer, an accountant or the municipality. The guides say so wherever it matters.
