HAIDER & MORANIS: Forcing real estate brokers onto MLS probably a good thing for both buyers and sellers
A policy change by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) will soon require participating brokerages to list almost all residential resale properties on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), thereby preventing some realtors from marketing properties privately.

MOFFATT: How Toronto's housing market is transforming the rest of Canada
A term I often hear mentioned in the conversation around housing accessibility is that “housing is a human right.” Why, then, do our cities seemingly go to great lengths to prevent housing from being built?

Testimonials
"
Sean has been my go to agent for real estate transactions, when the pandemic started, I planned to sell my investment property, he foresaw a price hike and advised me to keep it and wait for a while. Thanks to Sean, my property appreciated a lot during the pandemic.
Early 2022, when I want to sell a property, he asked me to list and sell it before March, I delayed due to many reasons and listed it at the end of March, when the market was slowing down, buyers started to watch and wait and price starting to drop, even though, he still managed to sell the property through his network, with a good price.
I would highly recommend Sean, for his knowledge and skills in home evaluation and market analysis, his marketing and promotion strategies, but most of all, his work ethics, he takes his clients interests as his first priority.

I was amazed by Sean when I saw how he estimated the price of a house for my mom in a bidding war, then I hired him as my own agent and purchased 2 condo units. In both transactions, he figured out the best point and time for negotiation, and won both units for lower than the market prices. Thank you Sean, I really appreciate what you’ve done for me.

We were so glad to have Sean as our agent, in such a hot market, he was not only able to locate a great detached house in Markham, that exceeded my expectation, but also negotiate a good price for me, without having to have a bidding war, best of all, he got the home inspection condition accepted by the sellers.
Right after my offer became firm, Sean also sold my townhome in only a few days, with the highest price ever seen in this area.
