Selling your home

In a market where buyers have choice, the price you list at and the way the home is presented decide how fast it sells and for how much.

What is my home worth?

Leonid will prepare a free, no-obligation evaluation using recent sales on your street and in your neighbourhood.

Request an evaluation
  1. Walk-through and pricing plan

    Leonid visits the home, reviews comparable sales and explains the price range the market will support, with the reasoning behind it.

  2. Get the home ready

    A short, practical list of repairs and staging that pay for themselves, plus professional photography and measurements.

  3. Launch on MLS® and beyond

    Your listing goes on MLS® and is promoted to buyers and agents across the GTA through online, social and print marketing.

  4. Showings and offers

    Showings are booked and followed up. When offers arrive, Leonid negotiates price, conditions and closing date in your interest.

  5. Conditions to closing

    He keeps the deal on track through inspections, financing and your lawyer’s paperwork until the keys change hands.

Buying a home

Whether it is your first condo, a bigger house for a growing family or an investment property, the goal is the same: the right home at a fair price, with no surprises.

  • A focused search

    New listings that match what you need, plus the homes that fit but you would have scrolled past.

  • Know the numbers first

    Help lining up a mortgage pre-approval and a clear picture of closing costs, including land transfer tax.

  • Offers that make sense

    Pricing advice based on what similar homes actually sold for, and a strategy for bidding or negotiating.

  • Protection in the details

    Sensible conditions for financing and inspection, and a careful read of the agreement before you sign.

  • First-time buyers welcome

    You may qualify for land transfer tax refunds of up to $4,000 in Ontario and up to $4,475 more in Toronto.

  • Through to move-in day

    Coordination with your lawyer, lender and inspector so closing day is calm.

Run your own numbers

Two quick calculators for buyers. They give estimates only; your lender and lawyer will confirm the exact figures.
