Karen E. Willison, SRES®, ABR® Sales Representative

I was born in Collingwood and as a lifelong skier, hiker, and golfer, I know and appreciate very well all this area has to offer.

My real estate expertise and experience is deep and varied. I raised my family here and I know the best school districts and the character of each individual neighbourhood and beach. I understand the adult lifestyle and maintenance free living, and the luxury market has been my stomping ground since I got my real estate license in 2004. Commercial real estate in this area has also seen some interesting transitions. As a true real estate junkie, I keep close tabs on all of it. 

My passion for living in this exceptional piece of Ontario has only fed my passion for its Real Estate. Last year, I was honoured to receive the Royal LePage Red Diamond Director’s Award (Top 2% Nationally) and I have consistently ranked in the top 5% of agents every year.

I am also a committed volunteer, having served as the first female president of the Collingwood Rotary Club, and participate on numerous boards and committees.

I believe wholeheartedly in a collaborative process, maximizing social media, using advanced marketing tools & techniques as well as influencers, along with good old fashion legwork in every step of the process. Whether you are a Buyer or Seller, you’ve got my committed collaborative attention and energy.

I will help you find the best Real Estate opportunity for you whether it’s Residential, Recreational, Vacant Land, Commercial or Development.  

Looking to sell? Interview me. I can lead the way with with evaluations, photography, marketing, negotiations, staging, hosting tours, and open houses, document management and getting the deal closed and you moved in. 

You won’t find a more enthusiastic, passionate, professional, connected and accessible Realtor® because I LOVE what I do!  

Mary Law | Sales Representative | Operations | Client Care Communications Manager

Since joining Collaborative Real Estate in 2020 as the Operations & Client Care Manager, I’ve embraced every opportunity to help clients achieve their real estate goals. Transitioning from solely behind-the-scenes operations to becoming a licensed Realtor® was a natural progression, fueled by a passion for providing exceptional service and ensuring seamless transactions.

With over 30 years of experience in professional administration, including real estate, corporate communications, and event planning, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to deliver success. Having bought and sold seven homes myself, I understand the emotional and financial stakes involved, and am committed to making the process as smooth and rewarding as possible for our clients.

As part of the KW Collaborative Real Estate team, I excel in building meaningful client relationships and getting to the heart of what truly matters—whether you’re buying or selling. My attention to detail, dedication, and knowledge of the local market make me well-equipped to guide clients through today’s ever-changing real estate landscape.

When not assisting clients, I love soaking up the natural beauty of Collingwood & The Blue Mountains with my family. Whether tending to my gardens, hiking, or unwinding with a good book, I enjoy every aspect of the four-season lifestyle this area offers.

Let’s work together to find your perfect home or secure the best deal for your property. Reach out today to explore the exciting real estate opportunities in Collingwood and beyond. With our collaborative approach, we can turn your real estate dreams into reality.
