Ready to Move Up?
You’re likely already in the Toronto market. And now you’re ready to move up. It’s a lifestyle
shift, to a home more in tune with the person you’ve become. You have a vision—and you’re
not likely to compromise.
I have been buying and selling downtown Toronto residential real estate since 2008. I live here,
I’ve bought here, I sell here. I’ve invested here. Whether you’re buying your next home or
looking for an investment, I can help.
I follow a process, one that I adapt client by client. First I get to know you, your dreams,
ambitions and style. That way I’ll understand if you need properties brought to your attention,
or simply advice and strategy for the ones you’ve shortlisted. Either way, I can help. And if I hear
of something about to come on the market that fits, all the better.
A matter of strategy
Not so long ago you had to put in a bully offer, over asking, with no conditions, just to buy a
home in Toronto. Since then the market has cooled, times have changed. And they will change
again.
There is no single strategy for successfully purchasing the home you want. It depends on the property, it depends on the market, it depends on the vendor, and it depends on you.
A few years ago, my clients had sold their home and bought another house in Yorkville. Their
kids left home and they started looking for that special condo in the neighbourhood they had
come to love. I got a call from an agent who knew what I was looking for. He described the
condo he was about to list and the price at which he was going to list it. I knew right away it was
severely undervalued. I went straight over, then called my clients. I insisted that they come view
it immediately. I took them on a 10-minute walkthrough and we inked a deal hours later.
I’ve handled every situation you can imagine. Bully offers, powers-of-sale, bidding wars,
overbid-and-knockdown, XXX, you name it. I’m a very good negotiator, because I’ve been there.
I know all the strategies, I know the people, I know the paperwork inside and out, I know how
to make the other team blink. When I negotiate, I’m treated with respect. I think laterally, I’m
tenacious, and I can usually make a deal happen where most would throw up their hands.
If you’re serious about finding your move-up home in central Toronto, there is no doubt in my
mind that I can help you locate it—and get the best deal possible. If you would like to discuss,
please get in touch. I would love the opportunity to chat.
