“I believe gratitude is an action word – you can’t just say you’re grateful. Gratitude is a verb; you have to do something to show it.”
From Port Colborne lessons to Orillia's storefronts
Jordan's grandfather ran one of Canada's early department stores in Port Colborne, Ontario, and let families who couldn't afford school clothes take what they needed and pay when they could. Jordan has called him his inspiration — and it shows in how he's worked in Orillia.
In May 2018 he started Why Orillia?: every week, a short film about an Orillia business or person doing something worth knowing about, made at no charge, with no real estate pitch. OrilliaMatters began running it every Thursday that July. The first goal was 50 businesses in 50 weeks; by the pandemic there were close to 100 films with thousands of views each.
“My passion is the City of Orillia. That’s why ‘Why Orillia?’ matters to me. My community is amazing, and I want to show it off. I want to help them build and become as successful as they deserve to be.”
When the stay-at-home orders hit local restaurants, Jordan bought $500 in gift cards from a different one every week and gave them away. When a past client, Dan Wadsworth, was fighting stage 4 cancer, he matched the first $1,000 raised through Lunges for Wadsworth. In 2021 he donated $10,000 to Mariposa House Hospice and committed a share of future sales to it.
How that shapes his real estate work
Jordan brings the same approach to buying and selling: know the place better than anyone, tell people the truth about it, and do the unglamorous work properly. In lake country that means checking the things that decide whether a purchase goes well: septic programs, shoreline permits, shore road allowances, and what a move up from Toronto really looks like.
For sellers, it means honest pricing from real sales, thorough preparation, and marketing that shows a home the way his films showed Orillia — including a dedicated website for every listing.

“Found Jordan and his team by chance and feel lucky I did. Jordan especially is attentive and was very helpful with the process. My partner and I bought a beautiful home and Jordan and his team were there at all times! As a first time home buyer in my opinion Jordan made it as low stress as possible and when needed he was there as was his office team. I’m grateful to have found him and plan to use him and his team in the future.”
“We cannot say enough about Jordan’s professionalism and work ethic.with a big move planned, we were concerned with the current market how our sale would go. However, in 2 days we had excepted a solid deal and we could not have been happier. Jordan is incredible to work with and we are looking forward to working with him again. Thank you Rossman team”
