Why it’s Important to Work with a LOCAL GTA Realtor

It’s a smart start to choosing the Right Realtor for YOU, because finding an experienced, reputable, proven Local Realtor is a critical step in a successful real estate journey!
This article goes in depth as to why it’s important to choose a Realtor with strong local knowledge & connections - particularly in the Central Canadian unique hotspot known as the GTA - The Greater Toronto Area.
Why You Should Get a Local GTA Realtor
You must get a local Realtor YOU CAN TRUST! Seriously. You can miss out on the best deals if you’re not experienced with real estate transactions.
There are so many elements to the real estate game. This is why you need a Great Realtor.
Once you have the right Realtor, you’re best positioned to:
buy the right home at the best price
sell at the right time for the highest amount
experience minimum unfortunate surprises.
And, if something unexpected does occur (and let’s face it - there’s always SOMETHING), you’ll have a professional ally on your side.
The right Realtor can support you easily, and take any stress off your mind.
The Challenge of Searching Local in the GTA
Did you know there are over
62, 000 licensed Realtors in the Greater Toronto Area?!
That’s right, over SIXTY TWO THOUSAND Realtors are registered on the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), Canada’s largest real estate board!
And there’s the biggest challenge of searching local - there are TENS OF THOUSANDS of potential Realtors from which to choose! That’s a massive job interview undertaking!
The RIGHT Focus is on the Connected GTA Market
A True GTA Realtor is one who has broad understanding and perspective on the CONNECTED Greater Toronto Area Real Estate Market.
The Key here is that the market is CONNECTED. Yes, neighborhoods have their differences and trends, but since the area is so well connected, you need a Realtor who is based in the GTA and knows the entire local real estate market inside and out.
This is important, as many Realtors tend to either specialize too narrow (ie. on specific neighborhoods) or too broad (all over Southern Ontario).
Too narrow a focus and you might miss out on fantastic opportunities in other neighborhoods in which they lack knowledge.
Too broad a focus and your Realtor won’t know the local market.
Realtors with Care & Capability
Remember, with over 62 THOUSAND Realtors in the GTA, many are inexperienced, unproven, limited, and, sorry to say, are only out for a quick buck.
Many of these Realtors are registered to the local Toronto Board, however, are so desperate for a commission that they’re willing to travel all over Southern Ontario!
That’s a very wide scope of work - much too wide for any Realtor to handle with great care and capability.
In Summary, Winning in the GTA Real Estate Market Requires Broad Experience, not Narrow Focus
Find a Realtor with whom you have a great chemistry, one with a specialty in the entire Greater Toronto Area, and one with great Google Reviews.
Find one with an incredible work ethic who communicates regularly. Find a Realtor with a winning team.
We’d be pleased to help you on your own personal real estate journey!
