Linda’s Story

We were looking for a condo for our daughter who is studying Engineering at U of T. She was moving out of residence and knowing she’d be in Toronto for four more years, our thinking was that it made more sense to spend $1000 a month on a mortgage for a nice condo than on rent for something the size of Harry Potter’s closet under … Continue reading Linda’s Story

Susan’s Story

Thrilling, the chase of purchasing a property. Nail biting, once I found one. Excited, nervous, doubtful, when I said yes. Unbelieving, when it was a done deal.

I had recently put my beautiful and charming home on the market in Oakville. It was time to move back into the city with the intention of downsizing into a condo. Although I wasn’t really thinking of buying prior to selling, I thought I’d get educated as to what was available and for what prices. I spoke with Shawn in this regard and was grateful … Continue reading Rhonda’s Story

Mary’s Story

My preferred neighbourhoods were anything within a 2-3 mile radius of Eglinton and Avenue Road. A key need was for a terrace as opposed to a balcony. A view was mandatory! The condo I ultimately found suited me completely – except that it was not within my ‘neighbourhood’ criteria. The decision to move down to the lake was a process of visiting, imagining, revisiting, re-imagining. … Continue reading Mary’s Story
