Jake Bergeron is a full-time Prince Edward County REALTOR® with eXp Realty, licensed since 2016. He specializes in waterfront, rural, vacant-land, and short-term accommodation properties, carries 39 five-star client reviews, and brings something most agents can't: he built his own home from raw land and grew up on well and septic in the County. If you want an honest, no-pressure agent who knows the County from living it, Jake is a good place to start.
Who He Is
Who is Jake Bergeron?
Jake Bergeron is a full-time, full-service real estate Sales Representative with eXp Realty, Brokerage, serving Prince Edward County since he was first licensed in 2016. His family moved to the County from the GTA when he was a young boy, and he has spent his life here since. Before real estate, Jake spent fifteen years in the trades as a Journeyman Ironworker with Toronto Local 721, work that took him across the country before he chose to put down roots at home.
That full-time commitment matters more than it sounds. Only about one in three real estate agents work in the business full time, and it is the baseline for actually being reachable when a client needs an answer. Jake has been full-time and full-service every year since 2016.
The Difference
What makes Jake different from other Prince Edward County realtors?
Jake Bergeron's real edge shows up in two places most agents have never lived through. First, rural properties without municipal water or sewer: Jake grew up in a century home on well and septic, so he understands what that day-to-day reality actually involves, not from a listing sheet but from living it. Second, raw land bought to build on: Jake and his wife Janna built their straw bale home from scratch on a blank piece of land, so he knows firsthand what a private build demands and where it tends to get hard.
Beyond the technical knowledge, clients consistently describe the same three things about working with Jake Bergeron.
Experience
What kinds of properties does Jake specialize in?
Jake Bergeron represents both buyers and sellers across Prince Edward County, with particular depth in the property types that define the County market:
- Waterfront homes and cottages along the County's shorelines
- Rural, hobby-farm, and vacant land purchased to build on
- Homes on private well and septic systems
- Short-term accommodation (STA) and Airbnb-permitted properties
- Century homes and heritage properties
- First-time buyers and people relocating to the County
Jake works best with clients who know what they want and show up as themselves: first-time buyers, downsizers, people chasing a slower pace of life, and buyers looking for a blank canvas to build on. He also publishes free, in-depth County guides on waterfront, vacant land, wells and septic, and short-term accommodation, the same knowledge he brings to every deal.
The Market Right Now
What's happening in the Prince Edward County market?
Prince Edward County is not moving the way the rest of Ontario is. While headlines describe a softening provincial market, the County's June 2026 numbers went the other direction: fewer homes for sale, more of them selling, and prices holding firm.

The takeaway Jake Bergeron gives County owners: demand here is not driven by a commute to a GTA office, it is driven by people who want to be in the County specifically, and that kind of demand does not soften just because a national headline says it should.

Client Reviews
What do Jake's clients say about working with him?
Jake Bergeron has earned 39 five-star reviews from County buyers and sellers. A few in their own words:
"Jake knocked on my door one day and said he could sell my house for more than I ever thought. I laughed, but 10 days after listing it was sold for exactly what he said. Incredible."
"From the first meeting with Jake, right up until closing day, Jake was involved and proactive. I've worked with 4 real estate agents in the past and have never experienced this level of dedication."
"Jake was absolutely phenomenal, he took us house hunting for almost a year until we found our forever home. Each set of viewings he was patient, thorough and professional, even when we didn't make it easy for him. I would absolutely recommend Jake to anyone looking for a home in Prince Edward County."
"I met Jake approx. 1 year ago and loved his honesty and his truly caring approach. I didn't purchase at that time but knew when I was ready, Jake would be my agent, and he was worth the wait."
