Let’s talk about timing. There is a case to be made that life is all about timing. Ask the right question, to the right person, at the right time…and your life can change. Whether it is a business decision, a relationship issue or a family situation, the same action can

And…a 1,2,3!

In retreospect, that sounds more than a little dramatic. When I say the end is nigh, I don’t mean the end of the world.  We all know that the lizard people don’t invade until the summer solstice that coincides with a major earthquake that drops most of the west coast

The End is Nigh

For a little while now I’ve been talking about the likelihood of the government fiddling with the Ontario housing market again. When it arrives, it will probably be called an intervention or policy change or some other wording that communicates certainty and precision. Make no mistake though, it will be

Will we see a Foreign Buyers Tax in the GTA?

Did you ever hear that 90% of communication is non-verbal? Or that it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it? The longer I work in real estate, the more I realize that communication is one of the most crucial factors in succeeding (or failing) to help a client.

I know that 20,000 people seems excessive when it comes to a family reunion. Truth be told, I’m not related by blood to those 20,000. My own family is shy by about 19,970 of that number. The family reunion I’m talking about is the Keller Williams Family Reunion, which is

About 20,000 people came to my family reunion!

I know what you’re thinking.  Jeff has lost it.  First he made that decision to buy a pair of white dress shoes, and now he’s trying to say he sees homes that are bargains?  He clearly needs help. Let me explain. For over six years now I’ve been a full-time

I keep seeing homes that are bargains.

I don’t have much time left. As soon as I wrote the first draft of this article, the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) dispatched a team of crack mercenaries to kidnap me.  It’s a little known fact that TREB monitors all Realtor computers and as soon as one of us

There is, in fact, a wolf.

First off, let me be clear that this is not going to be about Donald Trump. Sure, I’ve read about 16 articles today about the Donald. Most of them focused on how awkward and embarrassing the pre-inauguration concert was for everyone who attended, watched or even performed.  I cringed a

Who do you trust?

  I hope that you and your loved ones had a fantastic holiday break and rang in the new year in style! My Christmas was wonderful, filled with friends, family and food.  I cleverly got ahead of that whole holiday weight gain problem by gaining weight in early December.  That

This is what 2016 looked like for me!

Back in January, I wrote some predictions about what would happen to real estate in 2016. As the year is drawing to a close, I thought it would be fun to look back and see how I did with my predictions. I first looked at what I predicted would happen

Were my predictions for 2016 wrong?

I will keep this brief as I think it is about time I started my Christmas shopping. I know what you’re thinking.  “Shopping for Christmas today Jeff?  That’s crazy talk!  Why shop today when it’s only the 23rd?  You have all day tomorrow to shop.” I know that technically you’re

The busiest day of the year is coming up!

As we approach the start of a new year, I’m having a lot of conversations with clients and friends about investment properties. I know I’m in the right business when I get pretty damn excited about those conversations. The thought of helping people grow their wealth and fund the lifestyle

A Tale of Two Triplexes

As a Realtor, I get asked certain things pretty regularly. We’re in a bubble right? It’s gotta be a bubble.  Tell me it’s a bubble.  BUBBLE! Why do you guys always put your pictures on your business cards? Can’t I just sell my house myself in this hot a market?

But it’s sold, isn’t it?

Ever have one of those days where your colleague at work does something dumb? What about a day when they do this dumb thing in front of your company’s clients or customers? The whole real estate industry had one of those moments earlier this month, when CBC released a hidden

This is when multiple representation makes sense.

Since the end of World War I, a number of commonwealth countries have celebrated a memorial day on November 11th, where we remember the members of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty, as well as those men and women who continue to serve during times
