Before I became a Realtor in Toronto I was a successful television writer, in both the U.S. and Canada, writing for shows like “Full House” and “Babar”. I love writing for TV but it can be a very lonely profession. I have always loved Real Estate so I decided to combine that passion with my desire to meet new people and got my Realtor’s license. It was the best decision I ever made. Helping a young couple find their first home or helping a client down-size from a large house to a condo is so fulfilling. I can truly say that every person I have worked with and helped find homes are all my friends now.
HOW AM I DIFFERENT FROM OTHER REAL ESTATE AGENTS?
My client is the most important thing to me. Unlike large Real Estate “teams” — when you hire me you
get me. I am always available by phone or email. I will be the only one you deal with, not a secretary, and I am the one who will host your Open House. I am incapable of fast-talking or pressuring you to do anything unless I believe it is best for you. I have talked people OUT of selling their home because I thought they would be happier if they just renovated the one they had. If you say your budget is one thing, I won’t show you homes for more money.
My goal is to take the stress out of the selling or buying experience and I work very hard to accomplish that goal. I do everything from buying and replacing a new filter for your oven hood to picking up dog poop to cleaning your home and staging it to look its best for showings. I help you with every detail, no matter how small… or how big.
I work with a great team of experts. Mortgage Brokers, painters, handymen, cleaners and my very experienced colleagues at Keller Williams all help if I need them. If I don’t know the answer to a question I’m not afraid to admit that I don’t know. I will find the answer and get back to you as soon as I can.
I have lived in The Beaches, Moorpark, Riverdale and the Yonge/Davisville neighborhood, so I am very knowledgeable in those areas. But I have also helped people to find their new homes or sold homes in Scarborough, Mississauga and Richmond Hill.
Your home will get the exposure it deserves. I use the latest social networking tools available to us… Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, Kijiji, etc.
Your home will get the exposure it deserves. My marketing systems maximize your property’s exposure to buyers. Neighbourhood tracking tools and automated buyer calling systems allow me to reach active buyers who want to know about your listing.
With a keen understanding of both the big picture and the very latest local and neighborhood listing and sales data, the information you need is at my fingertips. Your home will be priced right and sell quickly.
It is very important to price your property at competitive market value when we finalize the listing agreement. The value of your property is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept in today’s market.
Buyers make their pricing decision based on comparing your property to other properties sold in your area. Historically, your first offer is usually your best.
I guarantee your satisfaction. Our relationship is dependent on meeting and exceeding your needs. We identify those needs together. My CANCELLATION GUARANTEE protects your right to end our relationship if you are disappointed.
For all your real estate needs… No stress, call Strass.
