About City

Brant County is one of Ontario's best-kept secrets — a sprawling rural county that wraps around the City of Brantford and encompasses a collection of charming communities including Paris, St. George, Burford, and South Dumfries. It offers the kind of lifestyle that's harder and harder to find in Southern Ontario: large lots, quiet streets, tight-knit communities, and stunning natural scenery along the Grand River corridor, all within a short drive of Hamilton, Kitchener, and the 403. With some of the province's most exciting projected population growth, Brant County is on the radar of investors and families alike who want to get ahead of the curve before prices catch up to its growing appeal.

Client testimonials

Jake Stern is fantastic realtor to work with! After viewing one of his listings online, we reached out to Jake directly to tour our future home. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and an effective communicator; helping our home buying process be as smooth as possible. I also really appreciate that Jake has been a friendly presence throughout. Being first time homebuyers, jumping into the homebuying process was intimidating. Jake went above and beyond to put us at ease and to guide us into this new chapter. Thanks Jake!

For 10+ years, my family has used Scott Benson Team and I will always refer people to his company. This year I was blessed with Jake Stern for the sale of my home. It was not a simple sale and required a few hoops for him to jump though. I am so grateful for him and how gracious and understanding he was through the process. His communication was 10/10 which really allowed me to trust his judgement while navigating the sale of my home. We were successful in just under 2 weeks, from list to accepted offer. I really appreciate him and will absolutley reach out to him for my next purchase/sale!
