Growing up, I was given a book of famous quotes. As I flipped through the pages, one in particular by Mark Twain stood out..

“Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.”

About

How does a professional athlete and the son of two Journalists end up in Real Estate? It’s an interesting story.

My upbringing was full of challenging experiences. As writers, my parents and their kids travelled frequently. By the time I was a teenager, we’d lived in Canada, Greece and the Middle East. I’d visited more than twenty countries and had developed friendships with people from all parts of the world. After my school days, I pursued a career as a professional athlete. Following those years, I turned to teaching sport, both as a golf pro and baseball coach.

Our travels abroad, the relationships built with people from all walks of life, my years spent pursuing a career in professional sports and in particular, my time spent as a golf pro at one of the best private clubs in the country (Magna GC) all provided me with a unique and crucial skillset to succeed in a career tailor-made for the real estate world.

I have spent a successful decade in this business, garnering awards each year from my Brokerage - Forest Hill Real Estate, one of the top firms in the industry. We have over twenty offices around Southern Ontario and consistently place among the most successful firms in the province, year in and year out.

There are countless agents in my line of work. You almost certainly know some of them. What separates me from the status quo is that unique skillset I’ve aquired through my life experience: the ability to adapt to any situation and circumstance, to trouble-shoot, to come up with creative solutions, all while placing the personal relationship first. Anyone can sell a house. What I do best is ensure that my clients needs are met and heard on all ends of the spectrum. Most of my business is repeat in nature or referral-based. That means my clients appreciate and believe in what I offer them: A thoughtfully tailored and unique approach based on their individual preferences.

Through my experience, I have established strong relationships with a network of tradespeople, contractors, painters, mortgage brokers, real estate lawyers and others that often proves helpful and that I can place at your disposal. The process of home buying and selling can be a daunting and stressful one. I can help guide you through it all seamlessly and successfully.

I look forward to working with you.

Testimonials

Gabe has taken a patient, thoughtful, and client-centric approach to getting to know our family and our needs as we explore real estate opportunities. He’s been with us every step of the way, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Ted & Christine D-S

Gabe helped my wife and I get into the market when we were nervous first-time buyers who felt like we were out of our depths, and again through the sale of our starter home and search for our second home during the pandemic. He was there for us every step of the way, expertly explaining the basics of everything from down payments to the insurance/mortgage process, or even highlighting things for us in inspection reports that we wouldn’t have picked up on. He also knew right from the start exactly what we were looking for and helped us find listings that fit within our budget and screamed “us.” Throughout both processes, he came to countless viewings with us and we never once felt pressure from him to make offers or speed up our search. In the buying process, that patience paid off in both of our purchases. During the sale process, his planning and touch helped us sell our home for well above what we were expecting (and what we’d originally paid). Gabe’s the best!

Scott & Madeline W

We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Gabe as our realtor. He was knowledgeable about the local real estate market and always supportive and responsive throughout the process. We appreciated his patience as we went through our process together and truly felt cared for, every step of the way. He expertly navigated us through the sale of our first home, which we sold for far more than expected. Gabe's positivity and willingness to listen were also indispensable as we navigated purchasing our forever home. We highly recommend Gabe to help make your home dreams a reality.

Hilary & Sandy M

When we decided to buy our first house in the Spring of 2020, we hired Gabe as our realtor after some close friends of ours had given him a glowing recommendation. He walked us through every step of the process and was always easy to reach and pleasant to communicate with. Considering this was in the first month of the Covid pandemic and the world was rapidly closing down, Gabe worked doubly hard in navigating the new rules and keeping our search on track. As we looked at houses, Gabe provided a ton of useful information about the features of the home, the construction (he clearly knows a lot about home building), and the surrounding area. He was always up front with us about any negatives he could see regarding the house or the location, which we appreciated. It never felt like he was rushing us along towards a purchase. When it came time to make an offer on the house we really wanted, Gabe guided us through the numbers and the multi-step process. Ultimately, we got the home below asking price! After living in the house for three years we are thrilled with the purchase, and cannot recommend Gabe more highly!
