About Jeffrey Luciano

It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m Jeff, a full-time real estate agent, living in Toronto and working in the greater Toronto area. In addition to my professional designations I have a BA in Sociology from McMaster University and an MBA from the University of Toronto. My undergrad degree in Sociology has influenced how I work with my clients, and I strive to make sure that during every step of the process my clients feel comfortable and in control. Many of my clients tell me they chose to work with me because they immediately felt they could trust me.

I’ll get right to the point because the clock is ticking. In 10 days from now, new rules kick in for mortgages. Starting October 17, 2016, all buyers with less than a 20 per cent down payment must qualify based on the five-year benchmark posted rate, which is currently approximately

Most of the time, two percent doesn’t matter much either way. Order a drink and they pour two percent more liquid than normal and you probably wouldn’t notice.  If you do notice, it’s clear to me that you really need that drink. In fact, I think that percentage differences really

Does a 2% difference really matter?

I haven’t actually been asked that question yet, but I feel it is only a matter of time before one of my client’s offers their future progeny in order to get a home. Buying a home these days can feel like an insurmountable challenge I say “these days” but it

Should I include my first-born child in the offer?

A few weeks ago, I wrote about secret Realtor codewords. Flash forward to today, and I’m in Oxford, England, visiting with friends and exploring the countryside. I’m also learning about some real estate terms that are used here. My favourite by far is gazumping. Just savour that word for a

I’ve worked with some clients this year on the rental side of housing – both landlords renting out their properties as well as tenants looking for a place to rent. A few things struck me in my interactions.

Let me rephrase that. There is nothing worse than the feeling of forgetting to do something you really should have done. That slowly dawning realization when you look at the date and your brain finally wakes up to the fact that there was something about today. Something you had to

There is nothing worse than forgetting something important.

I like a lot of aspects of working in real estate, but if you asked me to narrow it down to my favourites, I would have to say that there are two really great things about my job. The first is that I get to meet great people. People I

There are two great things about my job.
