Happy Canada Day. I hope you all enjoy your day off today, and take a moment to reflect on how lucky we are to live in the best city and country in the world. I arrived in Toronto when I was six years old from the UK, and have called Canada my home ever since….
It’s World Cup Time! Opening kick-off is only now ten days away. I know I should be talking about real estate and plexes in my opening ramble, but this is more exciting. Who are you going to cheer for? Spain – since they have won the last three major tournaments? Germany – because they look…
Go Raptors Go. I think that this is the first time in my many years of writing these newsletters that I am cheering for our basketball team. Hey, playoffs are playoffs and that’s something we don’t get that often in this town. It’s great to see all the people in the square cheering on our…

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family all my best wishes for a very safe and prosperous new year. I hope that you and yours came out of the ice storm and the subsequent deep freeze unfazed. We were very lucky to not lose power but I know unfortunately that…
Happy Holidays. I’d like to wish you and your family a very safe and enjoyable Christmas season. I’d also like to especially thank again all of our clients who bought properties with us this year. Thanks for your patience in this competitive market (most of you had to write a lot of offers along the…
Get out your winter coats – leaves are falling and the cold weather is upon us. We are nearing the end of the year which means only another five or six weeks before the real estate market slows down as we get into the Christmas holidays. This year has very much been a Sellers’ market…
