November in Review   Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) Stats are in for November. And I must admit I am starting to sound like a broken record. Once again, the numbers continue to reveal the reasonable stability of most areas ….and the continuing struggles that certain pockets of our market are experiencing.

Why Do I Have To Come To Your Office? I Just Want to See A House! For twenty five years I was a Location Manager in film and television production.  TV Series and most TV Movies were, simply due to the lack of time, a race to find any location to film in.  We had mere days to interpret the script; find the locations; scout them; sign them; tech survey them; and shoot them.  A...Read More

Oh Where, Oh Where Has The Market Gone? I had a conversation the other day with a potential client.

He had just read an article about the most recent TREB (Toronto Real Estate Board) report for October. Prices were up 3.5%. The client questioned my knowledg...Read More

    GDP down 1.3%; Employment Growth down 2.6%;Unemployment rate up 5.9%; Inflation down 2.2%..... Headlines and data are all too confusing for our daily consumption. Not sure about you - I prefer the cookies put on a much lower shelf. Life is too busy and we have hectic schedules. Most everything we see, hear or read is a brief soundbite meant only to capture our attention for a brie...Read More

    "The house next to me sold in a week; and one down the street is sitting and sitting. What is up with our market? The time tested adage in real estate - other than "Location. Location. Location. - is "It's all about price." Ordinarily, I would agree. In a balanced market, where the buyers have a reasonable number of homes to choose from, Seller's must b...Read More

    As I approach another anniversary of becoming a Realtor, and as our team approaches new milestones of service to our clients, it causes me to step back for a moment and just be grateful. Incredibly grateful to those early clients who believed in me long before I did (and some of them who may not have ever known how 'green' I was); to our repeat and referring clients who tru...Read More
