An Expert Appraisal is Essential to Any Real Estate Decision

"Each Home Has its Own Special Set of Value Considerations"

As one of just a small number of active brokers in Toronto who is also a certified appraiser, I  offer valuable expertise and three decades of direct market experience to my clients.

An informed and well-considered appraisal of the home is essential to its successful, smooth and timely transfer, sale, or purchase.

When evaluating your home, I carefully weigh a wide array of indicators:

Macroeconomic trends. Local economic trends

Neighbourhood trends. Street trends

Land and Depreciated Improvement Values

Past and recent comparable sales

Periodic median and average sale prices

Supply and Demand/Listing-Sales ratio

Prevailing Interest Rates

Seasonality

Lot Size and Irregularities

Lot grade and landscaping

Parking and garage

Type and style of property

Construction. Square Foot Values

Condition inside and outside Renovations and features

Mechanical Systems. Deficiencies. Improvements

Neighbourhood amenities

Curb appeal and Overall presentation

Then, in the final analysis, I bring hands on, day-to-day practical experience in the Toronto residential real estate market.  

"Priced too high... the property may sit for months, unnoticed "

Sellers sometimes price their property substantially above market value. It is very likely that an overpriced listing may keep potential buyers from seeing your home.

Priced too low...you may not see the property's full value

In any market the listing price sets an expectation which Buyers use to gauge what they should finally pay.Pricing below market value can be a costly strategy.

Do not leave the proper evaluation up to guesswork

As a Broker with 31 years of continuous experience in real estate, I am pleased to say that throughout 2009 my listings  have traded, on average, for 99.83% of their asking price... within 9 days*.

I Understand that our Real Estate Market Changes Daily

Experience, statistical research and informed consideration of comparable sales are the essential ingredients to evaluation and will ultimately lead to the successful sale of your home.

An effective marketing strategy and astute negotiation are the ingredients that bring you the optimal result.

Selling...My objective is to sell your home for the most money, in the least amount of time and with the greatest convenience to you.

Buying...Knowing fair market values allows you to make an informed offer on the home you want to buy.

Please feel free to call me if you'd like to discuss your property, my targeted marketing plan, and the possibility of working together in the sale of your home.
