About Jim Marshall
With almost four decades of experience, I have been your trusted real estate companion in Parry Sound since 1985. My intricate comprehension of our neighbourhood’s every nook and cranny, the lakes, and the nearby communities is my secret sauce in providing invaluable insights to my clients. My knowledge and network are at your disposal, from vacant lots to waterfront cottages, from first homes to forever homes.
While real estate is my calling, my heart belongs to my family. My wife, Kim, has been my rock for over 33 years, and together we’ve seen our three sons grow into fine men. The family’s latest addition, our granddaughter Sophia, has filled our lives with renewed joy. Our Portuguese Waterdog, Mac, completes our picture. Despite my packed schedule, I never miss a chance to explore the beautiful Parry Sound with them, whether aboard our boat in the summer or travelling.
My roots in the community run deep. From being the Chair of our local Museum Board and the vice-chair of the Parry Sound Library to serving the Humphrey-Rosseau-Chistie Planning Board in the 90s, I’ve worn many hats. More recently, I completed a 4-year term as a Councillor for the Town of Parry Sound and led the Parry Sound Real Estate Board and the Canadian Real Estate Association’s MLS® and Technology Committee.
Music is my solace. The piano, guitar, and bass are my companions. My love for music remains unchanged from jamming in local bands during high school to now jamming on Saturday nights in Orrville with other music enthusiasts.

About Cameron Marshall
Born in 1993, my journey started in Humphrey’s delightful village, accompanying my father, Jim, on numerous cottage tours. Growing up in the real estate business, it was only natural to follow suit.
After my education, I returned to Parry Sound and worked as a Bylaw Enforcement Officer for three local municipalities, gaining invaluable insights into smaller municipalities’ functioning.
In my downtime, I enjoy playing hockey in the Sportsman Hockey League, softball at the Kinsmen field in the summer, and jamming to some good music, thanks to my father’s musical genes.
