Real Estate Agent

This experience has been the worst so far. This brokerage in appearance is beautiful however looks can be deceiving. I leased a condo through them and upon moving in I started to clean, now when I viewed this unit I was under the impression by all parties that the unit will be cleaned upon moving in. Now when I moved in it did indeed look clean until I started to move the appliances from there place (fridge, stove etc) - we found mold in every bathroom drain, plus the drains were all extremely clogged. There was smoke infestation in the light fixtures, the owner had previously painted the unit a light blue trying to hide this but did not paint the closets or behind the appliances and that is where I found plenty of smoke damage. The baseboards had extreme build up on them from nobody cleaning previously and properly. There was inappropriate words written underneath the cabinets and top it all off when I did remove the appliances there was tons of dog hair and left over food and children's toys underneath them. There was probably 1inch of hair underneath everything with a ton of dust. I've lived in a handful of condos, I've never seen anything so bad in my life. I started cleaning the dishwasher and there was left over moldy food stuck in it, the washer and dryer as well had mold on the floor and dirt inside the lining. I asked to have my money refunded because I have children residing with me and I'm highly allergic to pets. The lease stated no smoking and no pets so I figured the previous tenants didn't have pets or smoked but I was wrong, the owners of the property didn't care in regards to this situation they even told me they cleaned but it's clear they didn't. I also found small amounts of water damage through out the condo and the plumbing in the other bathroom did not work properly. This unit was listed at 1800/month but I'm sorry to say this condo was completely disgusting and not up to any standards. It needed a lot of work to be rented out again from the previous owner but nobody cared or did anything to take care of their investment. The carpets in the bedroom stunk like animals and they agreed to professionally clean the carpets only after I moved in. All of these things should have been done prior to a new tenant moving in. I had to move my belongings out after I spent time and money moving in, and driving to and from Markham, plus taking time off of work. I asked for my refund and the agent was understanding. Up until I had to return the keys. The listing agent on this property (Ricky Sood) got very rude over the phone, telling me he did me a favor but this unit wasn't habitable. If this would have gone to the court I would have easily won my claims. I suffer from anxiety and I had to get my husband to take over the phone calls between Ricky and I because he started yelling and swearing at me on the phone. It honestly brought me to tears. This situation has in-convinced me to the fullest extent possible. He told my brokerage that I had to get my "thug" on the phone when it was my husband on the phone, and he was being as professional as possible towards Ricky. The whole situation has been awful. Stay away from World Class & Ricky. The manner in which he spoke to me was completely unfair, demanding and intolerable. I'm shocked a realtor would act like this and I'm also shocked the landlord did not take care nor clean the condo and expected tenants to move into those conditions. I gave them a bank draft and they refused to give me one back, the cheque they gave me to won't clear for 5 days.

My wife and I had a difficult time finding an agent that we felt that we could trust until we met Paul. He's an honest and hard-working person. In the end, Paul helped me and my wife sell our loft and upgrade to a home in Leslieville. He must have shown us 25 or so homes before we found one that suited us (and that we could afford). Over the years since we purchased our home, Paul and I have stayed in touch and Paul keeps us up to date on the local market.

I can't say enough positive things about Mike. He helped me buy my first house a few years ago and I I was looking for something really specific. He was patient and looked at so many places with me, put in a few offers and advised me on renovations, costs, etc. I always felt like he was being honest with me and never recommended any place that wasn't a good fit. And he's been there for me ever since the sale - continuing to advise me on the market, checking in and providing advice on upgrades, etc. He's awesome!

My brothers and I were in a bit of rush to find a place our mother could call home. We had been searching for places on our own but to no avail. Luckily for us, there was Brian! He kept us motivated and reassured us that we would find the right place for her. He was timely in his response to all of our questions, whether by email, phone or text messaging. On the night of the offer, ours was selected not because of price or condition. The differentiator was Brian. His manner and presentation of our offer is what tipped the scales in our favour. Thank you Brian. We are most grateful. Our mom loves her place!

Very knowledgeable and nice lady. Genuinely there to extend a hand to those in need. The type of person that would go out of her way to help a stranger. If this is the type of person you want to represent you, speak with her.

Cameron and his team made our sale experience pain free and profitable. His expertise and professionalism in all real estate matters gave us confidence that the transaction was done with attention to detail. We look forward to working with the WEIR Team again in the near future.

I had been contemplating a downsize for a while - kids launched, travel temptations, etc. Having lived in Leslieville for five years, and loving the neighbourhood, the search for my new home had to be here! On one of my frequent wanders in Leslieville I discovered the Spring Realty office on Colgate Ave. I'm so glad I dropped in for a chat with Ara! I got an immediate sense of heart for Leslieville - the businesses, community, dogs, etc. I looked at many properties with Ara or Sherry and finally settled on an exclusive new build. Thankfully, Ara was available and present for the meetings with the developer and helped me sift through the purchase agreement details. When selling my house, offers were immediate, competitive. and above asking. Done in five days thanks to Ara's marketing and realistic pricing. Yes, Spring Realty is also full of personality. What is that round sign all about? I'd say worth putting one in front of your house when the time comes!

A high end boutique meets years of contracting and realty experience. They know the market as well as they do houses; inside and out. LGBTQI friendly was a lovely perk as well.
