More and more of my condo-buying clients come to me knowing exactly what they’re looking for.
They know the exact neighborhood, the particular building, and quite often they have their future home in their mind’s eye.
The only thing left to do, is wait…

The word boutique alone conjures up many positive thoughts and images before one even sets foot inside the condo.

Maybe it’s the warm weather, or maybe it’s because the Blue Jays are in first place.

Beggars can’t be choosers, but is it worth living in a space that is slightly larger than many peoples’ walk-in-closets?

One of the biggest differences between living in a condo and living in a house: the rules and regulations.
I find a direct correlation between the age of the condo board president and the number of ridiculous rules, but I digress…
You know what they say: rules are meant to be broken…
