This is a very good reason why it’s important to invest in a professional photographer when listing your home and avoid making the mistake of using poor-quality images. Consumers have become very visual, quick and savvy shoppers so it’s important that your pictures are clear, clean and professional. It surprises me how often I still see...

What’s on your Santa’s list?

What's on your list to Santa? For those hoping Santa will bring them some items that will take their condo from average to superb looking, don't forget you have to be clear in what your asking for..

High profiled people buying in Toronto

With the recent news of Mark Wahlberg buying a condo at 36 Hazelton avenue.  I can't help but wonder how many celebrities will start calling this great city of Toronto home?  Movie trailers parked on the downtown streets of Toronto have become a no big deal sight.  It's obvious movies are not occasionally made here but are often made here.  As Mark himself said ''It's nice to live where...
