Posted on November 16, 2015 by editor

Ten Tips for Listing Your Property in Toronto for the winter season I picked this topic because many sellers believe that the winter season is slow. There’s usually less listing in the winter and the buyers from the fall that hadn’t found a home will continue their search. If your…

We seldom write reviews but based on our recent positive experience purchasing a condo apartment in downtown Toronto, we felt compelled to submit this message unsolicited. We wholeheartedly recommend Wins as a realtor, with whom we’d work again in any future real estate considerations in Toronto. Wins is an exceptional professional who is thoroughly prepared and competent as well as being diligent, proactive, and responsive. Furthermore, she is engagingly courteous, authentic, and customer-focused in all her interaction with us and others we’ve observed. It was a pleasure and a breeze to work with Wins earlier this year in our search and purchase. We’ve bought and sold personal real estate elsewhere, so we have reasonable yet high expectations of professionals in terms of quality of local market knowledge, capability, dedication and above all trust. Wins exemplifies all that and more! Just a glimpse into her excellence: Wins politely accepted our impromptu call a few months ago and took the time to get to know us – our first phone call lasted over two hours. She then proceeded in the following days and weeks to take the initiative and care to educate us on the current market situation, as well as historical context and projections. She shared and discussed with us relevant listings and comparative market analysis. She adeptly handled this remotely online and via conference calls, as we’re based in another city and time zone. She made the effort to understand our objectives and requirements and to lay out a strategy, plan, and schedule of relevant viewings. We were able to participate virtually in real-time viewings with Wins onsite and she’d follow up with detailed notes, videos, photos, and summary conference calls. Once we arrived for our Toronto visit, we were ready, as Wins had prepared with our input a well-planned itinerary of viewings and review sessions. She was patient with our deliberations and thoughtfully injected her advice. The whole process was efficient and smooth due to her attention to details, market knowledge, practical experience, and negotiation skills. She continued to support us post-sale and move-in with timely advice, contacts, and support. Thanks, Wins, for helping us purchase a great condo for our family, and thanks for your expert guidance and thoughtful conversations along the way. Take care - all the best! Norm & Nancy

The most dedicated, reliable, responsive, and hardworking real estate agent there is. Non-debatable. I was out of the country and Wins helped take care of the sale of my MLS condo every step of the way from start to finish. From the rental tenant moving out, to fixing apartment damages, to moving furniture, to clearing out the space for the sale, to cleaning; she was there for it all. Wins goes as far as helping me consult multiple contractors to keep my costs low. At the end securing me a more than decent deal in a mediocre market. I really don't know what more you could ask for in a real estate agent. The true definition of 一条龙服务. Inspiring!

Yesterday I worked with Wins on a unit downtown Toronto for a Clear out job. She was Amazing to work with, and was very helpful throughout the whole process! I would 100% recommend Wins for your real estate needs!

We are deeply grateful to have discovered and hired Wins. She is a real gem and an absolute powerhouse. She sold our house in record time in an extremely tough market— and she was able to do so even after previous months of unsuccessful attempts to sell with other realtors. From our first encounter, she was determined and impressive. She re-vamped our staging, marketing, and had thorough research on the ready. She expertly handled negotiations with low-baller offers from the first few prospects. We truly felt like she was on our team every step of the way, and her knowledge and professionalism blew us away. Wins Lai is a winner with a positive attitude and a clear vision. In the end, her analysis regarding the selling price and timing was accurate. We were amazed. We are delighted to write her a glowing review and would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Wins Lai did a great job selling our home in Toronto. We strongly recommend her services and would certainly use her again when we sell our next home. She took her time with us, was always quick and responsive throughout the whole selling process, and never insisted on selling our home for less than we were comfortable with, like some other agents we had in the past. Thank you Wins, you are the best!

Wins was an excellent real estate agent. We called her with a very short timeline to rent out our condo unit. As an incredibly reliable agent, she found us a great tenant despite the time crunch. We greatly appreciated that she is a landlord herself and also has real estate investing experience. She added a lot of value providing her advice throughout the process. She also gave us the option to be included in the tenant interview - which we felt was extremely helpful in assessing the quality of the tenant. We also really appreciated how responsive and proactive Wins was, which alleviated a lot of stress for us. We loved working with Wins and look forward to working with her again.

Wins was a pleasure to work with! This was my first time getting my own condo in Toronto and it was pretty overwhelming. Thankfully Wins made the process smooth and fun! I highly recommend her!

I had the pleasure of having Wins represent us and our property while we were out of town, the service we got was beyond perfect. I don't think any real estate agent could've done what Wins did if I was there let alone out of town. She dealt with us in good faith and told us anything that was good or bad even if that meant jeopardizing a potential deal. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent that deals with your property as if it was her own... THANKS AGAIN WINS.

Wins was great to work with! She helped me close on a condo right in the heart of Downtown Toronto. She guided me start to finish through the buying process, and always gave suggestions. I really appreciated how she kept things realistic & kept my budget in mind during the process. During scheduled visits before closing, Wins went the extra mile to make sure things were working correctly in the condo, and that things were being addressed by the seller. There were things that I would never think of that she would check to make sure were functioning correctly. I would STRONGLY recommend working with her - she's an awesome realtor, and even more, a great person!

Wins was incredible in providing an overview of the market, navigating me across the logistics (taxes, mortgage, lawyers, contract, etc.) of purchasing a property, and in helping me rationalize my requirements for a perfect property for me. She put in a lot of work to find the right fit for me and was incredible in reaching out to the seller with a bully offer to get me the best price. She also put a human touch to the process and supported me in navigating move and post-move modifications after the deal had closed. She was incredibly helpful in providing contractors and suggesting professionals that I could contact to expedite every stage of the process. Wins is highly experienced and deeply understands the intricacies of the condo market in downtown Toronto and I’d recommend that you definitely speak with her before embarking on your journey to buy your first property.
