I'm a real estate agent based in Whitby, working with buyers and sellers throughout Durham Region and East Toronto. Much of my practice is with first-time buyers and families moving into more space, often while managing a sale and a purchase at the same time. It's demanding work with a lot of moving parts, and it tends to go better when someone walks you through it properly rather than assuming you already know how it works. My approach is straightforward. I'll show you the comparable sales and the numbers behind my recommendation so you can reach your own conclusion. I'll tell you what I think a property is worth and where I think the risks are. If I believe you're about to overpay, I'll say so, even when it isn't what you want to hear. I live in Whitby with my family and know the region well, from commute times to school catchments to what a mortgage payment actually looks like against a household budget. If you're early in the process and not ready to make a decision yet, I'm happy to answer questions. There's no obligation attached to a conversation.
