I had the absolute pleasure of having Diane Tobia as my local real estate agent during my first purchase made in Canada. With this being my 4th property investment made worldwide, I was able to sit back and learn from her on how the market works in North America. And let me tell you, it is a COMPLETELY different ball game than what I am used to. Firstly, I had no idea the market in Downtown Toronto is so competitive. Where I'm from, properties are usually in the market for months if not YEARS and there is always space for negotiations. But because banks are offering very low interest rates and with resale prices having increased so drastically even during a pandemic, the competition is HUGE. Condos practically get sold the first few days of being listed and mostly over the asking price. Taking this into consideration, Diane was able to align my wish-list with my proposed budget at hand. She then took it upon herself to negotiate the best deal and fight my way in, also ensuring I protect myself upfront by having home inspections done BEFORE making an official offer. The best part is, she participates in fierce bidding wars with a smile while wearing her Christian Louboutin red bottom heels. I highly recommend Tobia Homes, Royal LePage Estate Realty ESPECIALLY to immigrants who are not used to this competitive market. To conclude, my message to you is - you are in good hands.
We were looking to buy for the first time in the midst of COVID-19. Our agent was very professional, responsive and organized; which no doubt contributed significantly to our success in securing our first home. They provided excellent advice and guidance throughout the entire process and supported us in making the most informed decisions. As first-time home-buyers we really appreciated their approach and expertise and would recommend to others!
