Genève Roots

Realtor® | BA | SRES® | CDS™

“ real estate isn’t just business—it’s personal”

Genève Roots brings a lifelong connection to Oakville, Burlington & the GTA—having grown up in Oakville’s Golden Meadow neighbourhood and now living in downtown Burlington. Her deep understanding of these communities, combined with her hands-on experience, allows her to guide clients with both insight and perspective. While her foundation is local, Genève works with clients across the Greater Toronto Area, delivering the same level of care and attention wherever her clients need her.

Genève works with clients at all stages, with a particular focus on those going through significant transitions such as downsizing or separation. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) and Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS™), she brings a level of structure, empathy, and clarity that is essential during these often complex moments.

Genève’s path into real estate began through a family-run property renovation and investment business, where she developed a strong eye for design, space planning, and value. Today, she pairs that practical experience with her academic background in sociology with her professional training in mediation and dispute resolution to help clients make confident, well-informed decisions—whether they’re buying, selling, or navigating a major life change.

Known for her personable and proactive approach, Genève is deeply committed to delivering a full-service experience. She goes beyond the expected—coordinating trusted professionals, managing moving parts, and stepping in wherever needed to keep the process smooth and on track. It’s a level of involvement that allows her clients to feel supported, informed, and confident from start to finish.

What she’s most proud of is helping clients move through emotional transitions with greater ease—while also helping them see the opportunity in what comes next. It’s also what clients remember most: the extra effort, the steady guidance, and the sense that they were never navigating it alone.

As part of the Rise Team, Genève brings a hands-on, relationship-driven approach to every client experience—contributing to a collaborative environment rooted in shared expertise, strong local knowledge, and a commitment to delivering exceptional results.

When she’s not working with clients, Genève enjoys spending time with her nieces and nephews, making the most of summer days at the cottage, and travelling whenever she can. Closer to home, you’ll often find her on a patio with friends, staying active with her daily Pilates routine, or exploring the shops, cafés, and charm of downtown Burlington—fully embracing the lifestyle she so often helps her clients find.

Real Stories, Real Experiences

Honesty, integrity & professional, What more can I say?

We really thought all agents were the same till meeting this team & specifically Genève . The support we received and the advice to reach our timescales was critical. Literally were hands on with certain aspects & the array of tried & tested service providers were invaluable. Then came the market analysis of the listing price . I did not want to be "that" house that was just sitting in the very unpredictable market. Their analysis was right on target not only did we list at a price that was above what I thought…They exceeded that price! I cannot say enough about Genève & The Rise Team.

A Truly Professional Experience!

We recently purchased a house with the help of Geneve and the Rise Team. The purchase was unusually complicated with a difficult seller.

Her expertise and experience helped us to navigate through the hurdles and close the deal.

I would recommend her and her Team to everyone.
