3 mistakes in one night that could cost a seller BIG. 😳

Last night, a client asked me about a property in the Simcoe area advertised at $499,000.

I couldn’t find it on MLS, so I contacted the owner.
I confirmed the price was $499K, asked if they were pricing to sell, and asked what closing date they needed.

They told me they had already purchased another home and were flexible.
Then later that night, I received a message:
“There was a mistake. The price is actually $1,499,000.”😳

That’s when I realized there were 3 major problems:

1️⃣ PRICE
The property was advertised at $1M less than the actual asking price.

2️⃣ EXPOSURE
Because the paperwork wasn’t submitted in time, the property was missing valuable MLS exposure over the long weekend.

3️⃣ NEGOTIATING LEVERAGE
By telling me they had already purchased another home and were flexible on closing, they potentially revealed valuable information about their motivation.

The lesson?
Selling a home isn’t just about putting it on MLS.
It’s about pricing, exposure, positioning and negotiation.
Trying to save money by selling privately can sometimes end up costing you much more.

🏡 If you’re thinking about selling, make sure you have a strategy—not just a listing.

🏡 FIRST-TIME BUYERS: A VAUGHAN CONDO JUST SOLD FOR $530K! Here’s what $530K can get you 👀

A Vaughan first-time buyer just secured a 1-bedroom + den condo for $530,000 — after touring nearly 20 condos over three months and losing out on three properties.

Here’s what made this one stand out 👇
✨ 764 sq. ft. of living space
🌿 138 sq. ft. balcony
🚗 2 parking spaces — a rare find for a 1+den
🛁 2 bathrooms
📦 Storage locker
🏢 Concierge + fitness facilities + pool
📍 Located in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre

🔥 The biggest takeaway?

The buyers didn’t rush into the first property they liked. They explored the market, learned what offered the best value and ultimately negotiated the price from $538,880 down to $530,000.

The right condo isn’t always the newest one — sometimes it’s the one that gives you more space, better features and better value for your money.

Thinking about buying your first condo in Vaughan or the surrounding area?

Elda’s Next Chapter Begins at 95

Today is a special milestone for Elda as she closes on the sale of her home after 23 years. I first spoke with her on January 12, 2020, and from that very first conversation, I knew she was someone extraordinary. At 95 years old, she’s still full of life—she walks every day, tells the best stories, jokes around, and negotiates with a toughness that would put most people to shame.

She often tells me about the constant calls she gets from people trying to scam seniors. She laughs and says, “Not me. I’m not stupid.” And she means it. People say older generations are wiser, and with Elda, you see it instantly. She has that gut instinct—she can tell right away if someone is being honest or trying to pull a fast one.

Last year, in February 2025, she called me because a neighbor wanted to buy her house privately. She didn’t want to be taken advantage of, so she asked me to come over and give her an honest price. It didn’t go anywhere, but I remember thinking how rare it is—most people would just go along with whatever they’re told without getting a professional opinion. Not Elda.

I’m grateful she gave me the chance to build a relationship with her. She saw something in me that many people don’t take the time to notice. Over the years, we’ve grown close—so close that she now calls me her 13th grandchild. And she’s already told me I’m invited to her 96th birthday party.

Elda, wishing you all the best as you begin your next chapter. You’re an inspiration and I’m honored to be a small part of your story.

Do you or someone you know have a move in mind? I’d love to be a resource and help make the next chapter a little easier.

🏡 Three lowball offers. One $800K deal.

I’m excited to share that I was featured in The Globe and Mail discussing this sale and what it took to get the deal done.

These sellers didn’t panic when buyers came in below expectations. They held their ground, understood the value of the property and ultimately negotiated a deal that worked.

The home stood out with a large 30-by-149-foot lot, a separate basement entrance and strong pride of ownership—key features that helped it compete in a softer market.

💡 The takeaway: A low offer doesn’t always mean you should walk away or accept.

Strategy, patience and knowing your home’s true market value matter.
