JOHN CLARK
My family and I settled in the Guelph Area while I was in elementary school, we moved from Waterdown to the quiet village of Rockwood. I attended Centennial High School and Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute, as well as the University of Guelph, graduating in 1978 with an Agricultural Business degree from the Ontario Agricultural
College. My wife Fernanda and I have lived in Guelph for the past 41 years and raised our three children here, who all remain residents of Guelph.
I worked in the agricultural business for 11 years with Nutrite Fertilizers, King Grain Limited and United Cooperatives of Ontario, all in sales and service as an area manager. I began real estate in 1986 and have been in the business helping clients buy and sell homes, farms and commercial property since then. I have been privileged to work with a wide variety of people over the years both in real estate and in my previous positions including CEO’s, a University President,
professional people, business executives, trades-people, general labourers and skilled workers, giving me a well rounded ability to help everyone.
Being involved in the Guelph & area community has always been an important part of my life, having been a coach, trainer and volunteer for Guelph Minor Hockey and Guelph Youth Soccer for many years. I served on committees for the Guelph Association of Realtors, Royal LePage Royal City Realty and the South Muskoka Snowmobile Club as well as supporting local charities such as Guelph General Hospital. I was rewarded the honour of the Royal LePage Chairman’s Club (top 1% in Canada), and have received awards such as the Diamond Award, Director’s Platinum Award and President’s Gold Award. I achieved a lifetime status for the Award of Excellence and have been recognized as a Top Tier agent.
I enjoy the great outdoors and can find just about anything to fix or keep me occupied in my spare time.

Collette Aeschlimann
In 1998, my family and I immigrated to Canada to pursue dairy farming in Perth County. Growing up in the country set a precedent for me – I knew I could never live in a big city. Like many, the University of Guelph is what brought me to the Royal City in 2009 and after four years, I graduated from the Bachelor of Commerce program, having majored in Real Estate and Housing. The program exposed me to various facets of real estate, including property valuation and real estate finance, development, law and management. As well, it provided me with comprehensive business knowledge as it pertains to economics and accounting, valuable assets in this industry. I recently completed a Masters in Planning, which has provided for a broadened understanding of rural planning and development issues. It is something I believe not only enhances my knowledge base, but gives me some level of proficiency about the subject matter – which I believe to be an asset for clients. “The more you know”.
I have been assisting a vast range of clientele with their real estate endeavours since 2012. I am fortunate to have serviced many differing real estate needs over the years; from those of first time home buyers, contractors, young families, retirees and downsizers, to those of investors and farmers. Helping clients make informed decisions is the crux of my business, and helping beyond a purchase or sale transaction is also part of the job that I particularly enjoy. No two transactions are the same – the context and the people always change. It is what makes my job so interesting.
During my spare time I enjoy being active outdoors and visiting my family on the home farm. I have taken on gardening as a hobby, and enjoy running, hiking and motorcycling. I am passionate about permaculture, farmland and nature, and am a board member with the Ontario Farmland Trust to advocate for farmland preservation. I also enjoy supporting efforts and events by the Guelph General Hospital, the Movember Foundation, St. Joseph’s Health Centre, Canadian Mental Health Association, Kidsability and the Children’s Foundation.
