How I sell your home
A clear process,
start to finish
Selling well isn't luck. It's pricing, preparation, marketing and negotiation, each done properly. Here's how I handle a listing from our first conversation to closing day.
-
We meet and price it right
I walk your home, look at what's actually selling nearby, and give you an honest number — not the highest one to win the listing.
-
We prepare it to show well
I advise on the repairs, decluttering and staging that pay off, and skip the ones that don't — then present it properly, with a clean feature sheet.
-
We market it widely
Your home goes on MLS and in front of the buyers and agents most likely to want it, with open houses when they help.
-
We negotiate and close
I handle the offers, the counters and the paperwork through to closing, and keep you clear on what each decision means for you.
Local knowledge
I know these neighbourhoods
Knowing a neighbourhood block by block is what helps you price right and buy well. Start with the east end — the area I know best.

A lakeside village in the east end, built around a boardwalk and four sandy beaches.

For sellers
The right price, not just a fast sale
An honest valuation and a marketing plan built around your home and your street — so you go to market knowing exactly what it's worth and how we'll get it.
For buyers
Buy with someone in your corner
Someone who knows the east end's house types and streets — and will tell you plainly when a place isn't right.
Questions
Good to know
A few of the things sellers and buyers ask me first. If yours isn't here, just call.
How does a home valuation work?
Tell me your address and a bit about your home and timeline. I'll review recent sales nearby and come back with a considered estimate of what it would sell for today — at no cost and with no obligation.
Do you help with both buying and selling?
Yes. I represent both buyers and sellers across Toronto, most often in the east end and the central neighbourhoods.
Which areas do you cover?
I'm based in the Beaches and know the east end best — Leslieville, Riverdale, the Danforth — and I also work throughout downtown, midtown and North York. If you don't see your neighbourhood, just ask.
What's it like to work with you?
You work with me directly, start to finish. I'd rather give you a straight answer than an easy one, and I keep you informed at every step so nothing about the process is a surprise.
