BEFORE YOU BUY THAT CONDO… BE A SMOKE DETECTOR!

Howard and his wife, Cathy, are lovely people.  Their huge corner unit in my mid-town Toronto condo building is absolutely stunning; totally renovated, it boasts Southwest exposure, crown mouldings and impeccable décor.  There’s only one problem, and it’s the same problem they’ve had for a year.  Their unit wreaks of cigarettes.  And they don’t smoke!

“Julie sold my home in Leaside in less than a week. To say that she was the best Real Estate agent ever is an understatement. Her attention to detail and her commitment to my family and me was amazing. She made sure that my home always looked it’s best for showing. We had 20 wasp nests on our roof and a critter digging up huge holes in the yard. Julie took it upon herself to get rid of these things… at her own expense. I would recommend Julie to anyone who wants to work with an agent who has integrity, is highly knowledgeable, and is an incredibly effective salesperson. After the sale of our home she found us a condo and negotiated an incredible deal. Besides all of her other attributes, Julie is generous to a fault and is so much fun to work with!”

“Julie was my realtor for the sale of a condo in Toronto. Why do I think she’s the greatest realtor ever? Julie sold my condo in 6 days… While most in the complex sat unsold for months. She always treated me like I was her only client. She was incredible, responsive and professional. She came by daily to make sure the unit showed well, leaving fresh flowers daily, at her own expense, as an added touch. She “Febrezed” the halls to make sure they smelled good, and even trimmed the frayed ends of the hall carpet. Julie has the greatest, warmest and most incredible personality… such that everyone can’t help but love her. She is a tenacious negotiator. I was so pleased with the outcome and will NEVER consider another realtor again.”

“Julie was my agent for about a week. And that’s because she talked me OUT of selling my house. It was the best advice I ever got. At her suggestion I renovated my home using an architect she introduced me to. It cost less and the results were phenomenal. When I DO decide to sell, she’ll be my first and only call.”
