the city as I see it

Every block of Toronto has its own rhythm. One minute you’re sipping espresso in Little Italy. Blink, and you’re deep in the West End, surrounded by trendy restaurants, vintage shops, retail spaces, and bold murals. Keep going and you’ll find tree-lined serenity in The Annex, patio buzz in Trinity Bellwoods, or even some late-night edge on Ossington.

Whether you’re a Toronto native or just landed from Montreal, New York, or Paris, this city has a way of pulling you in. Curious about where the creatives are living? Where young families are settling in? Where to find the best croissant outside of France? I’ve lived it, walked it, bought it, sold it, and I’ll help you land in a place that fits who you are now, and where you’re headed next.

Thinking about relocating within Toronto, searching for your first home, or even upsizing your space? Toronto has it all.

And if you’re looking for more than just a map, I’ve got the street smarts and the experience to guide you to the best spots in town. I know the blocks, but you’ll know when it’s right for you - let’s explore.
