Ever wondered how to traverse the unpredictable terrain of the real estate market in Toronto and GTA? Brace yourself, as we dissect the realities behind the high-interest rates, fear-mongering tactics, and why the market seems to be stuck in a rut. Despite the apparent lack of inventory, we argue that with a little patience and market understanding, this could indeed be the perfect time to buy.
Switching gears, we dive into the heart of selling and negotiating real estate. Leveraging my own experiences with union negotiations, we dissect the unique rules of real estate, stressing the importance of an offer day to avoid inconveniencing renters. Our guest, the innovative Kerry, shares her insights on the transformative power of staging and design in selling a property. Whether it's sprucing up a condo or decking your office for the holidays, we explore how a well-staged space can not only influence the market but also provide instant gratification. Tune in, and we promise you a fresh perspective on the real estate market and negotiation tactics.Do you have a topic you would like me to explore further, get in touch
