Our goal is to make sure your home shines the brightest amongst your competition, while appealing to the masses so we can help someone fall in love. Fall in love with your home that is! We are excited for this opportunity to work with you and achieve your real estate goals.

My best,

A little about me.

I got into this business as I found there were far too many Agents out there getting away with doing far too little. I believe in investing in each of my clients, to keep your hard earned money in your pockets. The home has to present in pristine light whether it be online or in person, as that is the first time someone will fall in love with it. I pride myself on having built a relationship-based business rather than transaction-based.
For the last 8 years I have been providing full-time service, working 7 days a week, as providing an authentic high-level experience to my clients is of the utmost importance to me. I am very grateful and proud to say that this has led me to being part of the top 2% of all Realtors on the Toronto Real Estate Board out of 70,000+ agents. I want to be the person you think of when your family and friends need a Realtor they can trust. And for your future life changes, whether they be to upsize, downsize, or purchase an investment property, I want to be in your life. I look forward to being the one to help you expand your real estate portfolio, build passive income for children’s education, enjoy your vacations, retirement and more!

Five star reviews.

Alex was AMAZING to work with. She helped us find the perfect property and was super knowledgeable about a tricky situation involving a heritage property that was tenanted. She went over and beyond in so many ways, from helping find tenants new homes, to showing up for contractors. If you want someone that won't just help you find the home but will also help you make sure its everything you dreamed up, she's the person for you.

Alexandra is the reason why I own a home. I rented for years on years and while she helped me find new rentals, she educated me why I should buy a home considering my status. I finally listened and couldn't be happier. I am not an easy person to deal with and she went over and beyond during the rental agreements and finally the purchase of my beautiful home. Great person, so positive with loads of information which she delivers in such a fabulous way. Never did I feel pressured (I've heard nightmares of other realtors), it was a great, informative and painless process. She walked me threw every step, defining what I wanted and could afford, finding the places that hit that criteria, mortgage, lawyers, movers and preparation for my big day. If you need to move or are unhappy where you live, give this girl a call. You will be writing a review similar to this one cause she is a hard working, smart and caring Realtor. Thank you Alexandra, you've helped change my life and financial future. I couldn't be happier and my family as well.

Honestly, one of the best experiences working with Alexandra. She is by far one of the hardest working agents out there. She always had my best interest at heart and totally went above and beyond what was expected. If you’re looking for an agent, this woman is it. 5 stars all the way!! Thank you again!

Working with Alex was a great experience. We had no idea what to expect when it came to hunting/buying houses and she made the entire process easy and stress-free. She's professional, very knowledgeable, has lots of patience, knows how to get things done. Day or night we could call her and we knew she would make the time to answer our questions. Flat out - she's a hustler and we always felt we were in the best of hands. I would recommend Alex to everyone searching for a new home.

Alexandra helped me navigate a crazy real estate market during a pandemic. Her expertise, professionalism and passion for what she does is what I admired about her. I was able to find a condo that I was very pleased with and could call home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to find their dream condo/home. Rest assured, they can have the peace of mind that they are in very capable hands.

We didn't have a lot of time to find the place we needed. Thankfully a friend recommended us to Alex. We had the keys and were all moved in a week later. Thanks again Alex!!!

Alex helped us sell our condo, it was our first time selling and she is just such a beautiful soul! She made herself very available for what ever we needed her for and any questions we had.Very professional and well spoken, and was patient with us during our process. I will definitely be using her in future transactions and have recommended her to my friends and family. I am so lucky to now call her friend and have her in my corner and you will be too!

SOLD! In 2021 Just had to write a review about Alexandra. She helped us buy our second home 4 years ago in Oshawa. She was so easy to be around and got to know us through the process, she felt like part of the family. She is always on the ball, very knowledgeable about her listings. It was all very seamless to purchase our second home. Fast forward 4 years later we are selling our rental home. She respects the pandemic and safety is extremely important to her. We put our rental as a off market listing before we decided to go to MLS. She hustled and got clients to see the property with upmost respect to our renters. It was off market for about 2 weeks before going to MLS February 1. We had multiple offers on the property and Alexandra kept us informed every single step of the way. As of yesterday January 20,2021 we are getting papers all sorted out as well as lawyers etc all finishing up our sale. Our rental is sold! And we couldn’t be happier with Alexandrahomeandhaven We fully recommend her. Your friends, Jack & Trishelle Diamond

Working with Alex as the listing agent on my clients purchase was a dream! She's a true professional. Trustworthy, attentive, responsive and knowledgeable. A great choice for anyone looking to buy or sell in Toronto and the GTA.

I had a wonderful home buying experience with Alex. As a young, first-time home buyer, I was nervous and not very knowledgeable about the market or my own ideas of what I wanted. Alex took the time to get to know me, my style, and my future plans in order to help me figure out what type of home I'd be happy in, and was always available to answer questions or show me new homes I was interested in. She was honest and straightforward with her advice and suggestions, but never pushed me into any decisions. She is trustworthy, hardworking, and very professional (but also a lot of fun to chat with during showings!). I plan to work with her for any future real estate needs and will recommend her to all my friends. Thanks so much Alex!

Workback Schedule

In order to be completely prepared, and to limit your stress during the live listing period, it is best we do as much as we can ahead of time to ensure we reach the maximum number of targeted Buyers. Once we have a desired listing date, We will work backwards to ensure all pre-list tasks are executed in a timely fashion. These pre-list tasks include a staging consult, a professional house cleaning service, minor house repairs, and photographer. See below as an example.

Signing an Exclusive agreement allows us to begin marketing your home online and create pre-MLS exposure.

Staging and Home Improvement Consult

We will hold open houses as much as possible to expose the home not just to those with realtors but those searching on their own. This is in an effort to capture both active and inactive Buyers. The open houses will be advertised on Realtor.ca, MLS, and via social media.

The following activities will lead the most impact on the return of selling your property.
Decide on a timeline

Trust me

To provide you the most seamless and advantageous experience in selling your home, through a high level of service that is truly hard to find in the real estate industry.

Comparable Sales

Properly pricing your property has a major impact on the level of interest you will generate and ultimately the sales price you will achieve for your listing. The sales of comparable listings is the best measure of value and helps to identify a fair market value range.
Properties being introduced to the market are best placed in the right pricing position relative to recent comparable sales.

Neighbourhood Report

Staging

We’re all guilty of judging a book by its cover

When we shop online, we often choose to buy the product that has nicer pictures because we inherently trust that listing more. When we go to the store to buy products, we usually pick the ones with nicer, more organized labeling.

Thinking about your home’s best features will help you highlight them by putting more effort into staging them. If you have a beautiful deck with a great view, for example, spend time cleaning up and staging the deck as the perfect leisure space. By making sure those features shine, you’ll be making your home irresistible.

The importance of staging a home can go beyond looks. When potential buyers have very positive first impressions of your home, and can envision themselves in the best spaces of your home, they’ll see your home as more valuable. Highlighting your home’s best features can also increase the value.

Homes that have been staged have an increased chance of getting offers over the asking price than those that have not been staged. Agents from the National Association of Realtors found that staging your home could boost your offers by 5%. For me, it’s always worth investing in your home to net you more on the sale of your home.

Pre-List Home Inspection

When buying a home there are bound to be deficiencies. Even brand new homes will have issues that need to be addressed. No home is ever perfect. Performing a home inspection prior to listing your home will help in three different ways; 1. It will help us understand if there is anything that needs immediate attention prior to listing your home.2. Helps the buyer understand where the deficiencies are and what to expect moving forward as the home ages.3. Helps the buyer set their price based on what may need to be fixed in the home and ideally present you with a firm offer.

A home inspection will also tell the buyer about what you can’t actually see with the naked eye. The age of the roof, furnace or air conditioner. Whether or not there has been a leak in the basement or inside the attic. What type of plumbing and wiring are in the home and so much more. A home inspection will educate your buyers and provide them with the information they need to make an educated decision when buying your home.
