“Stephen was excellent in explaining the value of our home and what to expect from the market.
“His creative marketing efforts were outstanding, and he made our home look amazing. The open houses were held during a spring snowfall, and Stephen produced posters to show the glorious garden as it looks in summer. Ours was one of four properties that had direct access to a great community park with space for both winter and summer sports—normally imperceptible to the visitor because of the stand of trees at the base of the garden. He took the time with a drone to capture exquisite aerial footage of the house and park behind, which showed it off magnificently. He held beautiful, catered open houses every weekend, even during major blizzards.
“Stephen went above and beyond any real estate agent I've dealt with in the past. We would highly recommend him to anyone we know.” — Jan and Howard Petrook

“Stephen was incredibly thorough in his assessment of our property and its value and how to market it. It was a unique situation and with Stephen's creative approach we were able to sell our property to buyers that Stephen found and at the price we were happy with.
“We found Stephen to be professional and timely and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.” — Leslie Milthorpe
Belle Lune Island

Belle Lune Island
“When I decided to leave island living, my custom-built cottage, Belle Lune, was a rather unusual property, and I entrusted its sale to Stephen.
“Selling an island property has a whole list of challenges that do not apply to a city listing. Stephen went over and above in researching domestic and foreign markets to ensure we targeted the right potential buyers for the property. He hand delivered invitations to our island open house and hosted an amazing afternoon party, which was not only novel, it created a lot of positive ‘buzz’ in the community. Needless to say, it was fun to work with him.
“Stephen was absolutely diligent in providing the best communication and marketing through various media channels. His hard work and experience in listing unique properties was so helpful in finding the right buyer. He constantly kept me informed and communicated how we could best present all of the features and benefits of my property.
“Of course, we successfully sold Belle Lune and I have since referred a number of people to Stephen who I know would benefit from his experience, good nature, honesty, and skill at setting the right parameters for a successful staging and subsequent sale.
“Stephen is not only my realtor, he is now my friend.” — Mary Ann Sayers

“Stephen, thank you so much for all your hard work, research, due diligence and patience with me while finding the perfect condo to buy in Toronto.
“You spent months educating me on the market (moving home to Toronto after 25+years in the US is a big deal) so that when I was ready I was able to act. I got the perfect home, and feel it was meant for me!
“I was so grateful for your recommendation of a designer, as I am so happy with her, too.
“I will happily work with you again and will tell everyone I know to call you for outstanding real estate service!” —Susan Gittins

“We were so grateful to Stephen during our search for a new home.
“In fact, we often tell the story about how he made time to thoroughly understand us, and how he organized the most efficient tour of a shortlist of properties for our consideration. Thanks to his skill and clarity, we knew exactly what we wanted and that made all the difference for us.
“Bottom line, though, we weren’t in a hurry. But Stephen’s ability to weed out the very best for us, and in a huge field—that was truly on our side. Stephen prequalified everything, and we made the best decision really rather quickly—but it was perfect. We have been truly happy in our home ever since.
“You will never be in better hands. ” —Johanna and Vince Gerrie

This is an example of effective and wildly successful marketing.
This image was printed on a custom poster that I created for an evening offer presentation for agents and their clients. Would-be buyers competed with each other to make offers to my client.
We set a record that night for a 40-foot lot in Ledbury Park.
