Buying or selling your home is one of the biggest decisions you make in life, which is why you want to be guided by someone who lives and breathes your community.
Born and raised in Peterborough, real estate agent Shirley Turner has that personal, insider knowledge when it comes to finding the best the region has to offer. Turner, a REALTOR® with EXIT Realty Liftlock Brokerage, helps clients buy and sell across Peterborough and the Kawarthas under her brand “Shirl’s Your Girl.”
Having lived in neighbourhoods across the city, Turner combines her background as a former teacher at St. Peter’s Secondary School and the former owner and operator of a cottage rental company to provide excellent insight into the ins-and-outs of the whole region — from the neighbourhoods with the best schools to where your garden will thrive in rural communities. She offers a listings portal for her clients looking to buy a home, where they have immediate access to new listings.
For clients looking to sell, Turner knows exactly how to pitch a home that people want to buy. A big believer in the power of a professional photographer, she also attaches floor plans to all listings so buyers known what makes your home special, while staging your home so it looks its best for prospective buyers. Going above and beyond the traditional role of a real estate agent, Turner often helps downsizing seniors who do not have support from family by helping them purge, pack, and clean their homes before selling.
With her passion for the region she lives in, Turner not only shows off the best of Peterborough and the Kawarthas, but she is actively working to better the community in any way she can.
An active volunteer, she is a proud board member of United Way Peterborough & District and the committee chair of Women United Peterborough, and has previously lent her support to the New Canadians Centre, Diabetes Association, and the Canadian Cancer Society.
Turner will not only help you find or sell your home, but she’s also dedicated to making the community surrounding that home one you will be proud to live in.
