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.

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

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
