I’ve helped clients like Ashley find their dream home–and I can help you too.
What makes me different?
My job is to make sure you get exactly what you want at a price that makes you happy.
To do that, I ask questions to identify the type of home you want, the neighbourhood you want to live in, and make suggestions based on your budget.
I’m with you through every step of the home buying journey, from figuring out your finances to negotiating the final offer.

Amazing experience with Wins to sell my condominium unit. From preparing the condo for sale, showings and negotiation to closing Wins completely exceeded my expectations!
Wins ended up selling my condo during tough COVID time in a short period of time with the sale target price I had in mind.
-Behzad
Need to sell your house or condo?
I bring a wealth of sales experience, including 5 Top Producer Awards.
In fact, just last year (during the height of the pandemic) I sold 23 listings, including multi-million dollar houses and condos.

As Behzad points out, my goal is to exceed your expectations.
I do that by taking care of everything, from preparing your listing for sale and arranging showings to negotiating tirelessly till we reach your target price.
