Rob Francis, Realtor®

In my previous life, I served in the Canadian Army for over 29 years before retiring in Kingston in 2019. Having been posted here twice before, my family and I grew to love the area, making the decision to settle down an easy one.
​
I chose a career in real estate because I understand firsthand the challenges of military relocations—short house-hunting trips, unfamiliar cities, and of course navigating BGRS. I’ve lived through it, and my goal is to make the home-buying process in Kingston as smooth and stress-free as possible for military families and all homebuyers.
​
As a member of the Stage One Real Estate team, I work alongside and learn from Shari Doherty, a highly experienced and respected Realtor. This means my clients benefit from both my personal experience and the collective expertise of a dedicated team, ensuring they receive the best possible support when buying or selling their home in the Kingston area. My goal is to make the process not just stress-free, but even enjoyable.
