“Working with Maggie took 90% of the stress out of what is normally considered a pretty stressful event – selling our home from abroad. We worked with her six years ago when we bought our home and were thoroughly impressed, but since then have moved out of the country and needed help on all aspects of prepping the house for sale – painting, landscaping, rubbish removal, staging, cleaning, you name it. It was daunting considering we couldn’t physically be there to oversee the work but Maggie’s team did an extraordinary job in an extremely short period of time and we were even able to list the house a week early. Maggie handled the negotiations expertly when offers started coming in, and we were delighted to sell our home for significantly over asking. We could never have imagined that selling our home while in another country could be so stress-free and this is down to the services and professionalism of Maggie and her top-notch team. She is the definition of a full-service agent with knowledge of the market that’s second to none.”

“We found Maggie by chance at an open house — to our extreme good fortune. A walking encyclopaedia of house-based knowledge, she can immediately answer most any question you can think of.  What’s more, she will unearth a host of important things you didn’t even know about, which, as first-time home buyers, was extremely reassuring. It is hard to describe how stabilizing she is during those inevitable moments of frustration that come with looking for a house in Toronto’s current market.  We never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision, and have no doubt that, had it taken many months longer to find our home, Maggie would have been there every step of the way with the same calm and measured approach. She is thoughtful, patient, incredibly responsive and exhaustive in her research. As professional and courteous an advisor as you will find, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She helped us find an amazing home, and we think she’s awesome!”

“We worked with Maggie to find our long term family home in Deer Park. She really took the time to listen and ask questions of us so she could understand exactly what listings would be relevant to our search. We are two working parents with two young kids in full time school. Needless to say we had time constraints and limited windows where we could go and see houses. Maggie was very accommodating to our schedules and made the process efficient. When we found the right home Maggie laid out the bid strategy, educated us on all the historical comparable sales and provided her insights into the current market dynamics. Given Maggie’s level of professionalism and experience we felt very confident having her represent us at the negotiation table with the seller and their agent. The bidding process, paperwork and closing of the deal were painless. Now we just needed to sell our existing home! And it was December. Maggie encouraged us to move quickly rather than wait until after Christmas, which was definitely the right advice. She helped us with everything from finding handymen, painters, cleaners and was there whenever we needed her. It was a real team effort and within one week Maggie managed to effectively list, market and sell our house over asking. Maggie was able to generate multiple competitive well-funded bids for presentation to us. It was a great relief to have completed the process and we couldn’t have done it without her. Maggie was extremely professional throughout the whole process and expertly managed any necessary trouble shooting. We highly recommend!”

“Moving homes is always unsettling but finding the right home makes the entire process a transcending life experience. For that, our family owes Maggie a great debt. Having lost our mother and wife, the kids and I needed a change from our home of 10 years but it couldn’t be just any home. Maggie’s familiarity with the Lytton Park and Summerhill areas proved invaluable for the sale and eventual buy. Experienced, conscientious, hard-working and relentless, she did a masterful job of showcasing our loving home, drawing in the right professionals (agent marketing, photography, staging, handymen) to maximize the experience and patiently navigate us through an otherwise very emotional and difficult process. We sold first, not knowing where we were headed but we trusted Maggie would find us a home; and she did. Our requirements were demanding. It is remarkable how well she got to know our family through the sale process and her intuition and judgement about what we were looking for in a new home was spot on. Always in the know of what suitable properties will be coming to market, Maggie mobilized our team early allowing us the requisite time to confidently bid in a competitive, compressed and heated market. The property only listed for a day before accepting bids. Maggie had the home inspector in before I even saw the property and we may have been the only group able to complete an inspection which helped us with our bid strategy. You never want to chase a property (or chase it too much) and hope you remain within the parameters of a sound financial investment. This is your agent’s responsibility, to earn your trust and help you find those boundaries and exercise restraint which Maggie fulfilled admirably. I still fondly remember that last bid discussion Maggie and I had where she convinced me to add $1,000 more to my final walk-away number. Well, we won the bid by $1,000. With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, this home has been such a joy for our family, it would have been tragic to have missed this opportunity for $1,000. Thank you Maggie.”

“This past spring we chose to work with Maggie to find a new home for our growing family. After seeing a couple of places Maggie showed us exactly what we wanted. Unfortunately, it was exactly what 10 other people wanted as well. Maggie steered us through a rough bidding war against some very seasoned real estate veterans and came through with an offer. All the while keeping us calm and laughing. She even watched Dora the Explorer with our son while we went to sign the papers! Now the real test was helping us to get our house sold in the same crazy market. Again, Maggie coached us through the process and we had it listed within two weeks – no easy feat with two children under 3. The house was listed on a Tuesday and the following Monday evening, after over 70 private showings and even more on the weekend open houses, we watched in awe as 11 offers presented themselves. We could not have been happier with the process, the outcome, and the whole experience with Maggie. We met a lot of real estate agents during that time and realized quickly how truly unique Maggie is. Highly recommend!”

“Buying a home in Toronto can be overwhelming, from product to location. The options are limitless. Maggie Lind made the process simple and seamless. She took the time to work with us to understand what was important, tailoring our viewings to homes that matched our specifications and interests. Maggie also educated us on current market trends, the importance of selecting the right location, and the art of the infamous bidding war. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and the address we call home.”
