Testimonials
“When I was considering the sale of my building, I knew I needed a trusted advisor to assist me with the process as I knew I would receive a higher price than doing an “off-market” deal. I interviewed several brokers and Jeremiah, Matt and their team stood out to me as professionals who had a great track record, had represented many families and private owners like me, and exhibited tremendous enthusiasm about the potential of helping me. They laid out a comprehensive marketing plan for my property and followed through on all the promises. Jeremiah and Matt and the team went the extra mile to help me achieve my objectives, especially closing amid a Global Pandemic. I highly recommend Jeremiah, Matt and the team to anyone considering the sale of a property in Toronto.” - Gary Duke (625 Queen St W Vendor)
“When looking to sell my building I wanted to work with an advisor who had a strong knowledge of the Medical Building Asset class. Matt’s knowledge and execution ability was demonstrated through a sound listing process in which he was able to maximize value through a sale to a medical user group. Working in conjunction with Lisa Handa from the Colliers London office, Matt was able to successfully negotiate advantageous terms and price and close the transaction despite the backdrop of a Global Pandemic.” - 124 Barker St Vendor
