I’ve seen an increasing number of renovated houses for sale in Little Italy in the past few months; some of the renovations were good, some were bad.
The neighborhood hasn’t seen as much turnover as other downtown hot-pockets like Cabbagetown in the last decade, and many homes are coming onto the market for the first time.
Many of these have also been renovated by first-time renovators…
There is nothing worse than showing your client a house or condo which is currently being rented by a student.
“Tenant” and “student” are often thought to be interchangeable, but I believe there is a difference between a 21-year-old girl renting a 1-bedroom condo near University of Toronto, and a 42-year-old businessman on contract in Toronto for two years renting your investment property on Wellington Street.
The signs are there. You just have to look…
I have yet to EVER hear the following words uttered from a home-owner’s mouth:
“The renovation was so easy! It was quick, painless, and there was no inconvenience! The renovator was professional, punctual, and delivered on all his promises while finishing the job ahead of schedule!”

The perpetrator in this story tried to pull a fast one…..by being incredibly slow.
Not all Realtors are created equal, and there are some bad apples in the bunch.
Much to my colleagues’ chagrin, I’m going to share with you a story of how a dirty agent operates…
Eighty-one degrees.
That was the temperature in my bedroom when I woke up on Sunday morning, thanks to the property manager in my building who has yet to switch the heating over to cooling even though it’s MAY!
Some buildings in Toronto have a user-controlled heat pump, others have a central one controlled by the building.
Let’s explore…
No, this story doesn’t have anything to do with George Clooney. I just thought that picture was funny!
This is an unbelievable story about a condo my clients were in negotiations to purchase, and didn’t…
…because the exact same unit in the opposite tower came onto the market that very night…
