About Rory Sutherland

I pride myself on honesty, trustworthiness, and integrity in everything I do -- especially when it comes to my clients. My goal is to ensure that you feel informed, confident, and empowered to make the best possible decisions for your needs, with me supporting and guiding you every step of the way.

As someone who has lived in Guelph my entire life, I bring not only deep local knowledge but also the tools, resources, and technology to help you succeed.

When I first considered a career in real estate, I hesitated at the idea of being a "salesperson." That word never felt like the right fit for me. But then my perspective shifted. I realized that my role isn't about selling -- it's about relationships.

This idea first took root while I was in teacher's college, where I learned an important truth:you are in the relationship business.Building genuine connections with my students was key to supporting their growth -- and the same is true in real estate. Every client is unique, and I take the time to truly understand your goals so we can work together to achieve them.

Buying or selling a home can be stressful, but it can also be incredibly exciting. My job is to help make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible, while keeping your best interests front and centre.

  •   Rory was friendly and open to hearing me reason through my decisions. I felt like he was working to understand my needs and priorities throughout the buying process. I have only purchased one property before this, so I'm still a little new to real estate and Rory was patient with my questions and forthcoming with information I didn't think to ask for that was important for making a decision — Buyer
