I guess it is best that I first introduce myself to you…my name is Chris O’Toole and I am a Realtor in Barrie, Ontario. This is my Blog in which I will share with you my life as a Realtor, a home owner, as well as interesting Real Estate & local news. I hope to keep it informative and entertaining.

First, I would like to share some background information about me. I was raised in Barrie and have lived here since the summer of 1974. Growing up her I have seen the town develop into a city and know much about its history and am very interested in its future. I married my wonderful wife (Kelly) December 10th 2006, at the chapel in Treasure Island Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada. We have an amazing 3 year old son Benjamin and our second boy due the end of July.

My wife and I have a strong passion for travel, especially cruising the Caribbean. It is very humbling to travel outside of the Canada and learn how other cultures live. This is a subject I feel passionately about and I will often share these experiences with you. Besides travel, I enjoy sports, reading, animals and of course spending as much time with my family as possible.

This is me in a nutshell and I welcome you to make comments, questions, or share your own stories on my site. My goal is to help you get acquainted with me, the city of Barrie and the Barrie and area real estate market.
