Cottaging started for Marnie in the Briars area on Lake Simcoe before her parents moved to Muskoka on Mary Lake when she was 13. Initially, schooling began at Seneca for Laboratory Technology in Electron Microscopy and then while working as a Laboratory Manager for a company focusing on R&D in steam explosion and biomass conversion, she completed a degree by part-time evening studies at York University and the University of Waterloo followed later by part-time studies at Humber in Interior Decorating. Fortunate to be able to spend a number of years as a “stay at home mom” while Bob travelled extensively for business, Marnie eventually joined Scientists in School as a visiting scientist teaching KG, Gr 2-6 programs throughout the GTA. With Darby off to University and Kelcie working full time in Toronto, Bob and Marnie moved permanently to Muskoka, following their dream. Before moving North, Bob and Marnie had bought, renovated, decorated and sold over 14 homes in the Toronto area.

John has lived and worked in Muskoka for over 30 years, and has been a Realtor since 2004. His dedication, hard work and astounding wealth of knowledge has been nothing but positive for his career. Clients that have dealt with John in previous industries seek out his realty experience as a trusted and honest advisor. John joined the Clarke Team in 2016.

Kelcie has always had a connection with Muskoka. She grew up cottaging with her family which has solidified her connection and love for cottage country. After attending the University of Toronto and achieving her Bachelor of Arts, majoring in History with a double minor in Political Science and Gender Studies, she then attended Humber College to complete her Post Graduate Certificate in Fashion Management and Promotions. She began her career in the fashion industry in 2014 at The Hudson’s Bay Company as a Merchandise Associate, eventually working her way to becoming an Assistant Buyer.

In 2018, Kelcie became a Buyer for the Canadian retailer Boathouse where she managed the Women’s Footwear portfolio for over 90 stores across the country. Through her years of experience in the fashion industry, Kelcie has developed key organizational, financial, and analytical skills. Her eye for design, ability in developing exceptionally strong relationships and commitment to working with clients to deliver a superior customer experience is where Kelcie’s expertise lies. Kelcie joined the Clarke Team in 2019 and has been a salesperson for the team since 2021.

Spending extra time with my real estate clients is important to me because education is paramount. I am committed to listening to my clients’ needs and utilizing my keen negotiating skills to ensure a successful transaction. 

When I’m not engaged in my clients’ real estate goals, I am an invested family man with three beautiful children. While my family is top of mind, I am also a longtime follower of the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team and avid musician.

I grew up in Unionville and attended Neuchatel Junior College in Switzerland (’97). After completing a BA in History at Mount Allison University (2002), NB, I obtained my BEd from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand (2004). I have cottaged on Stephen’s Bay Lake Muskoka for 30 years.

After five decades of boating, vacationing, cottaging, and now living on Gloucester Pool, Bob Emmet couldn’t agree more with the statement: “Muskoka is a way of life.” Over these many years, he has enjoyed all that this beautiful lake district has to offer, has belonged to local business associations, and is a willing volunteer at community events throughout the year. He is also past director of the Southeast Georgian Bay Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Gloucester Pool Cottagers’ Association. Bob has been selling homes and recreational properties for over 25 years. Whether he is in the office, on the road, in the boat, or on the dock, Bob is always available and keenly interested in helping you find (or sell) your little piece of paradise.
