Military Relocation to Kingston, Ontario

Relocating is a major life event — and for military families, it often comes with tight timelines, unique requirements, and added stress. At the Penny Blake Home Team, we understand the challenges that come with military postings because we have proudly served the Kingston community for over 38 years.

Conveniently located in Kingston’s east end, just minutes from CFB Kingston, our team has extensive experience helping Canadian Armed Forces members and their families relocate both to and from the Kingston area. Whether you are receiving a new posting, preparing for deployment, retiring from service, or relocating your family across the country, we are here to make the process smooth, efficient, and stress-free.

What happens next

Most military moves follow the same shape. Here is roughly how yours will go.

1
A first call

Tell us your dates and your posting details. We will tell you what is realistic in the current market before you commit to anything.

2
Your house hunting trip

We shortlist homes ahead of your visit so the days you have on the ground are spent seeing places worth seeing.

3
Offer and possession

We build the offer around your reporting date and coordinate possession so the two ends of your move line up.

What we handle for you

Military moves rarely run on a normal schedule. We work to the dates you are given, not the ones that would be convenient.

Moving in, or moving on

Both directions run on someone else’s schedule. Here is how we work each one.

Relocating to Kingston

If you are being posted here, we can help you learn the market before you land. Virtual tours and neighbourhood guidance narrow the list to homes worth your house hunting trip.

First home, more space for a growing family, or something low maintenance for the length of a posting, we will help you find the right fit.

Relocating from Kingston

If your next posting takes you away from Kingston, our marketing and market knowledge position your home for the exposure and the price it deserves, on your timeline.

Photography, digital marketing, negotiation, and closing support are handled here, so the sale is one less thing competing for your attention.

Why military families choose Kingston

Many members choose Kingston’s east end for its access to CFB Kingston. Greenwood Park, Riverview, and the surrounding east end communities stay popular with CAF families for their newer homes, parks, and trails.

If you would rather put some distance between home and work, we can point you to neighbourhoods that fit how you actually want to live.

  • Highway 401 access
  • Strong rental and resale market
  • Waterfront and outdoor recreation
  • Historic downtown
  • Healthcare and schools
  • Close to Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal

A Local Team That Understands Community

I am a military spouse. I have packed up a house on someone else's timeline and started over in a new city, so I know what this week feels like for you.

For nearly four decades we have built this business on relationships and local knowledge. Several of us have lived in and raised our children in Kingston’s east end. Supporting military families is something we take real pride in, and we are glad to keep serving people who serve.

Meet Jeff Ross — Kingston Real Estate Advisor

I help buyers, sellers, and military families make confident real estate decisions in Kingston with clear strategy, local insight, and no guesswork.

With over 16 years of experience as a licensed sales representative, I bring a data-driven approach to pricing, negotiation, and market timing—so my clients don’t just participate in the market, they position themselves to win.

Kingston isn’t just where I work—it’s part of my family story. From deep roots in the area to decades spent around local neighbourhoods and cottage country, I offer a level of insight you won’t get from out-of-town agents or generic online platforms.

My background in digital marketing and media gives my clients a real advantage—especially when selling. From strategic pricing to high-impact online exposure, every step is designed to maximize value and reduce stress.

I’ve also worked closely with relocating clients, including those posted to Kingston, helping them navigate tight timelines, competitive conditions, and unfamiliar neighbourhoods with confidence.

At the core of everything I do is simple: clear communication, smart strategy, and results you can rely on.

After many years in customer service and sales including owning my own business, I am very excited to be pursuing my career in real estate. I found my passion for real estate through buying and selling my first family home in Cold Lake, Alberta. As a military spouse I have experienced firsthand the obstacles that can be encountered during this process including restricted timelines, working with Government relocation services (BGRS) and maneuvering through the challenges of unique real estate markets.

Whether you are new to the city of Kingston or a lifelong resident in search of a new home, investment or vacation property, I am dedicated to utilizing all my knowledge and resources to help you through this process as smoothly as possible. Myself and my colleagues at the Penny Blake Home Team, with over 30 years of experience in the Kingston and surrounding area, will help you find the property that meets your needs.

With strong ties to Kingston, I am excited to help you find your perfect home in our beautiful city. Born in Kingston, I attended Queen’s as an undergraduate, graduating with a Master’s in Psychology, and then spending many years working in the Psychology Dept at Queen’s before starting my career in real estate.

Not only am I familiar with the school system here, I have spent a great deal of time in the local arenas watching my boys play hockey over the years!

I have experience with the many sides of real estate – I know what it is like to buy and sell my own homes, moving as our family grew and our needs changed. In addition, owning a custom home building business with my husband for over 20 years has given me valuable experience and insight, all of which will help me provide you with the best service possible. Finally, as a Remax sales rep, I can help you navigate all the aspects of buying and selling your home.

If you are planning a move, I am here to help you with that transition. If you are looking to sell your home, I will work hard to help you get the best deal you can. If you are looking to buy a home, whether you are new to Kingston, or have lived here for years, I can help you find the right neighbourhood and the right home for your lifestyle.

I grew up in Belleville, Ontario, but after living in Kingston my entire adult life, I consider the Limestone City my home town. My husband and I have bought and sold many homes over the years, as our life circumstances changed and we have always researched our preferred neighbourhoods well. Our first home was in Amherstview; we moved just outside Kingston when we wanted to start our family; moved back into Kingston when we chose the public and high schools we wanted our two girls to attend and moved again when we became “empty nesters”. We have truly hit all the life cycles.

Oddly, my working background began in real estate – 16 years in law offices working through real estate deals. Needless to say, I have in-depth knowledge of what happens to an offer once it goes to your lawyer. The next step in my career path took me in the direction of human resources and I am very proud of my success in that field. It gave me great insight into how to treat people and understand and correct their frustrations.

Now, in a sense, I have come full circle – back to an exciting, challenging and rewarding career in Real Estate which I’ve been doing for over 7 years now.
