Auctions. Real Estate. Move Management. And More…
In 1958, Fred and Mary Gordon founded an auction company serving Southeastern Ontario. In 1986, Barry and Alicia Gordon bought the family business, combining auctioneering and appraisals with licensed real estate expertise. Working alongside Manson Slik, a realtor with a family background in real estate, and Cathy Gordon – a transition specialist (and Barry’s sister-in-law), they developed an approach that brought real estate and transition services together into a single, coordinated process.
In 2022, Adam Gordon joined Gordons in a leadership role. After his term of service in the Canadian Armed Forces, he helped the family grow and spin off the auction division, now known as MaxSold Inc. Today, he continues to lead Gordons alongside his family, building on its history with a focus on structure, process and continuity.

Meet the Team
We understand the emotional burden of downsizing and estate settlement and respect that the home and contents represent memories that need to be handled with care. Our ongoing training and designations support the practical needs of every situation we take on.
Real Estate Experience
Our team brings decades of experience in selling properties specifically for downsizing and estate situations.
We take an unparalleled approach to preparing and bringing properties to market, with a focus on planning, positioning, and execution. This allows us to deliver consistent outcomes within a clear and well-managed process for our seller, as well as external buyer agents and their clients.
Our team also holds specialized training and designations related to senior transitions, reflecting a deeper understanding of the considerations involved in later-life real estate decisions.
Core Values
Move Management: 30 Years Strong
We have been integrating move management with our real estate services for over 30 years, providing a coordinated approach to downsizing and estate transitions.
Our team holds recognized training and designations in senior move management and relocation, reflecting a practical understanding of the needs involved in later-life moves.
We focus solely on serving downsizers, powers of attorney, and estate trustees where coordination and timing of all home and contents needs are critical for success.
Auctioneers for over 60 years
Our experience in selling personal property dates back to 1958, with roots in the live auction industry. That foundation continues to shape how we approach the sale of contents today.
Instead of acting as the auctioneer, we appraise and manage the sale of contents as part of a coordinated process, ensuring items are properly sorted, prepared, and brought to the right markets in a practical and efficient way while appreciating the memories these items represent.
Hear It From Our Happy Clients
Margaret
“I was dreading the move and I still can’t believe how well it went. Everybody involved was so kind, helpful and patient that I never felt worried. When it came to selling my house, Sherry was so patient, explaining everything and not pushing me to make a decision.”
Angela, Executor
“I hired Gordons when I was recently called upon to act as an estate trustee. They cleaned out an entire lifetime of household goods and personal effects from a home, arranged for minor renovations to prepare the house for listing, and sold the house for fair market value. ”
Joyce & Morton
“From the very beginning we were promptly advised, every step of the way. Our house sold quickly, we can only attribute that to Gordons for their very descriptive advertising. Thank you all for a job well done in a friendly and courteous manner.”
