Paul and Christian are fantastic advocates for the sale of our home. They did an exceptional job of marketing our house, and we felt confident about their advice throughout the process. The Paul and Christian team is highly professional, motivated, caring and well-informed. It was a great experience working with them.

When I finally decided to start looking for a loft in downtown Toronto, I noticed Nadine’s ad and decided to reach out to her. From the moment we spoke on the phone, I was instantly impressed with her professionalism, attentiveness and understanding of my needs. Having not lived in Toronto for 10yrs, I wasn’t familiar with what the different neighborhoods had to offer. Nadine was extremely patient and based on her extensive knowledge of the condo market, she showed me a lot of places I would not have considered. As a result of Nadine’s tireless efforts, we finally found the perfect place for me, within my budget, and in a fantastic neighborhood. I am extremely proud of my new place.
I would highly recommend Nadine to anyone who is searching for their dream home as she is a talented professional.

I have worked with Sameer for many years buying and selling multiple properties in the city. He is an excellent agent! He is very skilled in all aspects of real estate from knowing and understanding the market in great detail, to providing in-depth insight, advice and valued guidance to all his clients with respect to their potential sale or purchase transaction. Beyond his professional attributes, he is both kind and caring and his witty and fun take on life makes the buying or selling process truly enjoyable with many much needed laughter along the way. I highly recommend Sameer and his team and look forward to working with him again on future projects.

Dr. Mandin and I had a home selling experience that was unique to any other in the most positive of ways.Both Paul and Christian were highly knowledgeable, sensitive to details and the marketing tools implemented were far and above our previous experiences.
Sherry Mandin, Toronto
Awesome, professional and efficient right from the “get-go”. Both Paul and Christian made the whole process so comfortable. Selling a property can be very emotional and full of stress. Not with these two gentlemen. Every part of this project was so smooth for us. They truly understood the care that was put forward when we created our home. We were confident that their marketing plan would would clearly express this. We both knew that identifying a unique buyer would result in an excellent transaction for both us and the new home buyer. AND IT DID. Five solid stars from us.

Paul, Christian and their team were fantastic - they exceeded our expectations. I give them my absolute highest recommendation. This was our first time working with Paul and Christian - their level of service was outstanding and knowledge of the industry and the process was amazing.We would literally not consider working with anyone else in the future. We are happy to be a reference anytime!CheersDoug
Doug Roth, Toronto
This was our second time working the team of Christian and Paul. Once again, they were pleasant to deal with, willing to put up with our anxiousness to get an outcome that suited our needs, and delivered a good result. Very professional while still being real people. Their good work, along side that of Nancy Lee, was greatly appreciated.
James Liam McQuade, Toronto
Paul Maranger and Christian Vermast were called upon to guide me through a difficult experience: the sale of my mother's home. The stakes were high, as the proceeds would have to fund good quality intensive care for the rest of her life. The pressures were enormous; the timeline was short.Their background work on every aspect of the market pertinent to the property was thorough and impeccable, their knowledge of the true factors to be considered was manifest, and the presentation of their assessment and of the options available was solid and supportive of me and of my mother's best interests. So was the follow-through.The nature and location of the property required expert positioning and the casting of a wide net. As a result of their expertise and efforts, the house sold in less than two weeks and for a very good price indeed -- one that I hoped for, but did not expect. Paul and Christian provided excellent and respectful sounding boards for each other, and for me. The support and steadfast encouragement I received, during a complex and charged process, was as important as the impressive result achieved.
Anne Walker, Toronto
Selling a home during a pandemic is stressful, but Christian Vermast and team skillfully navigated us through the process and provided us with a broader exposure to both Toronto and global buyers. Christian’s team worked in tandem with local realtors in Stratford to add the benefit of local market knowledge, using sales and listing data to determine the right listing price.Christian and team also gave expert advice to help navigate the reams of required forms in an electronic format and provided coaching during the negotiation phase, helping to take the emotion out of the process. We were also impressed by the weekly reports we received which updated us on search activity for our property. Thank you!
Peter Maranger, Stratford
Paul and Christian are amazing at what they do, very easy to work with them and very professional.
Katarina Kraizel, Toronto
Paul and Christian were very professional and responded quickly to any questions we had. Paul was always on top of things and kept us updated on showings and client feedback. They were quick to suggest new strategies for re- positioning our house when the market shifted. They provided us with a good staging professional who was easy to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend Paul and Christian.
Anne-Marie Dave, Toronto
This is our third real estate transaction with the help of Fran, Paul, and Christian. They have assisted us every step of the way, even when we encountered unexpected difficulties. In the end they found us a buyer who loves our house as much as we did. We appreciate the solid and committed support and would not hesitate to engage their services in the future. Thanks to all involved., George and Fedora Horner .
Fedora Horner, Toronto
Both Paul and Christian are excellent. We dealt primarily with Paul on the sale of this unit. When we listed the unit on the market there was a lot of uncertainty related to COVID. However, Paul guided us through this journey, ensured that unit got good online publicity and in the end secured us a good sale price. During times like this (pandemic and post-pandemic) its important to have an agent who not only knows the market but is able to improvise in tough situations and in the end secures a good deal for the client. I would highly recommend Paul and Christian at Sotheby's.
Paritosh Mehta, Toronto
We have used Paul and Christian Associates twice. They know the real estate market and are consummate professionals. A year ago, they sold our home in Toronto and we purchased a condo. We engaged them to sell our condo in 2020. They took care of all aspects of the sale for us. Because of COVID-19, and the fact we now live out west, it was our first truly virtual real estate experience. Paul was in constant contact with us via Zoom, email, calls, texts. He involved us in all relevant discussions and respected our decisions. The condo went on the market and sold within 3 days after the first and only showing, well above asking price. We were thrilled. We highly recommend Paul and Christian Associates to any sellers seeking a full service realty group. They are knowledgeable and have excellent marketing reach in the real estate market. You can’t lose with them on your side.
Audrey and Philip, Toronto
Our experience with Cheryl and Linda in selling my mother's home in Etobicoke was nothing less than exceptional and flawless. After years of trying to get our mother to move into assisted living, we were able to make that happen. When it came time to sell, we interviewed a couple of agents and quickly realized there was NO comparison. Cheryl and Linda's strategy when it came to listing and pricing were unique and allowed us to sell in 7 days significantly over asking. My brother and I both live out of town and Cheryl and Linda stepped up to help in so many ways that most agents would never dream of. We are forever in their debt and highly recommend them to anyone in the GTA.Jennifer TooleWe would highly recommend Cheryl and Linda as agents. My sister and I recently helped our elderly mother sell her house and they did an amazing job for us. They had a very solid plan and executed it perfectly. We are both from out of town and Cheryl and Linda both went above and beyond to help us and provided excellent references to other services. Each have their own set of skills and they compliment each other well. Please choose them for any Real Estate needs you have!!!Simon Toole
It was a pleasure to work with a team as dedicated to excellence and approachable as Paul , Christian, and other staff members at Sotheby's Toronto.They were steadfast through difficult days and better ones, along the way to the successful sale of my condo. My sincerest thanks!Judith Ghert
Judi Ghert, Toronto
Sameer did an excellent job, as usual. He is a very hardworking, dedicated and honest agent. He makes excellent suggestions and recommendations, and knows his markets well. He really takes the time to service his clients and it really shows in the results that he is able to obtain. I feel that I am in very good hands when he is representing me. This is now my fourth deal with him (3 this year alone), and he has excelled each and every time. I would most definitely use him again. I highly recommend him to everyone!!
Natalie Hernandez (FHH Holdings), Toronto
The Trilogy team did a great job in presenting the house and a strategy to sell it...we dealt mainly with Paul and all the interactions were very professional, he stayed on top of the schedule of visits and seemed to have followed up with all the agents involved. The material presented to us was first class and the pictures/web/brochure were top quality, resulting in a quick sale at a good price. Lorraine & Claude Lamoureux
Claude Lamoureux, Toronto
This is our second home sale with Paul and Christian Associates and we couldn't recommend them more. Whether selling or buying a home, you will be in great hands. They are consummate professionals who are very knowledgeable, strategic and detail-oriented. They provide a concierge-style 360-degree service where you really don't have to worry about anything. Bonus: incredibly fun and pleasant team to work with!
Hande Bilhan, Toronto
Thank you Paul and Christian for the stellar job you did selling my mother's home. All of the stages of the process were handled with great aplomb, from the pricing, staging and marketing to the eventual sale of her home. Your calm demeanor and astute negotiating skills helped my mother achieve well over asking on her property – and we appreciated you being there, with tips and advice right up until the day of closing. You are true professionals who I would recommend in a heartbeat.
Stuart Solway, Toronto
Paul and Christian provided me with the best professional advice for the sale of my house.Always positive, helpful, available.... and they also have at the disposal, the best crew to help you prepare your house to be listed.First time selling a home, as I have been at this address for 34 years. I couldn’t have had better people to take care of selling my house .A very positive experience. Thank you!
Celyne Darling, Toronto
Selling your home in a volatile market can be a very stressful and downright scary experience. Yet Paul and Christian's professionalism, in-depth knowledge of the market, and advice put us at ease as we navigated the showings, open houses, and offers. Paul and Christian have the unique ability to very efficiently steer the process while still making us feel like we're having a coffee and chat at Starbucks! An absolute pleasure to deal with. And the house sold!
Stephen Parkhill, Toronto
I can't say enough about Paul and Christian - from the moment I met them with the professionalism and clear competency and expertise on the market. While my home appeared to be more difficult than first anticipated to sell, Paul and Christian persisted in various strategies and "emotional" support and I always felt they had my very best interest at all times. They are an incredible team that can balance the optimism of your sell with the pragmatism of the market conditions, which in my case changed drastically through the listing. But we were able to refocus after a cooling off period and sold the house within a week. Paul and Christian treat the selling of your home as if it is their home and there is nothing spared in every detail of the service they provide. I will highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for someone to sell their home, it truly is one of the best experiences with this team!

We had the pleasure of having Paul and Christian serve as our real estate agents when both buying and selling our condominiums in the summer of 2017. We were very pleased with the professionalism of their services and would highly recommend them to represent you when seeking to buy or sell real estate, especially in the Toronto market. Although we hope our new home will be our last, if circumstances should change, we would definitely use Paul and Christian again.
Serdar Atav and Malcolm Gunter, Toronto
Dear Trilogy, I am very happy that you came into my life and made my house sale so much easier. During such an emotional time in my life, it was comforting to know you were there to hold my hand. With fond regards.
Argia Cowle
Excellent overall experience, strategy and process, especially given the challenging times. Additional services e.g. photography, staging etc. , were well chosen. Entire approach was professional and considerate to both myself and the buyers. Definitely would recommend to others.
Richard Fischer, Toronto
Over the years, we have since gone through many transaction in real estate and I am proud to say that Paul and Christian’s attention to client’s buying needs coupled with their own vast international experience and business acumen makes their service truly unique. I would proudly recommend the team to people who value the effectiveness of a hardworking and efficient professional team that will put your interest first.
Linda and Frank Gardner, Toronto
This is to record my thanks and gratitude to the Paul and Christian Team who this summer achieved the sale of my house in which I had lived for over 51 years and guided me in finding an appropriate apartment in which to live. I heartily recommend the Trilogy Team as a firm to be retained by any person who has any real estate needs.
George Hately
Thanks so much for helping me through the sale of my home last summer. It’s been home for more than twenty years and it was difficult to part with. You helped me understand the reality of the market while also helping me achieve close to my target. The three of you were readily available to assist with questions and offered tremendous encouragement through what was a longer process that I had hoped for. After two previously short but unsuccessful listings in the two years prior with other realtors I would not hesitate to praise your team as having been the most proactive and reliable.
Martha Weaver, Toronto
Thank you so much for your patience, kindness, humour & eternal optimism as we embarked on our purchase & sale this last year. As always, it was a complete joy to work with you.

May we take the opportunity to express our thanks to the Trilogy Team for the outstanding service you provided in the sale of our home on Balmoral Avenue.We have just about got over the shock of moving out of number 86, which has been our home for fifteen or so years. It has been more difficult than we imagined but I have to say that the blend of empathy and discipline with which you approached the project was a tremendous help and importantly, of course, it got the job done.Both Jean and I would unhesitatingly recommend the Trilogy Team to other prospective sellers.Thank again and all the best for the new year.

Sameer is hands down the best real estate agent that either of us has ever worked with! He is so very amiable and professional. He guided us through every step of the process of buying a condo in downtown Toronto (which we love and thank him for every day) and in selling our home in Riverdale that went for more than $100,000.00 over the asking price while he expertly brokered the multiple offers we received. Always readily available to answer our questions, his advice proved to be consistently spot-on and he frequently found ways to save us money. Sameer is a “hands-on” agent who even came to our home to help pack up our stuff when we were getting it ready for sale. He recommended several contractors at very reasonable prices for; house painting, roof repairs, carpet cleaning, house cleaning and closet makeovers. Sameer is a kind and generous person and it has been a great pleasure getting to know him.
Dr. Gordon Bricker, Ed.D. (Counselling Psychology), Eric Goldstein, B.A. – Theatre Administrator
We could not be happier with the job that the Trilogy Team did during the sale of our home. Since we had only been purchasers previously, the sale of our condo brought with it many new challenges and risks that the Trilogy Team guided us through. Trilogy were very helpful and understanding throughout the entire process; from the moment we met them at our home until the closing date, they were with us every step of the way. The same can be said for all of the staff on their team when we needed their services. We most certainly recommend their services to anyone buying or selling their home. Simply put, they’re the best!
Giancarlo and Melissa
In all our years of buying and selling, this was hands down the best real estate experience we have had. Sameer and Christian were knowledgeable, professional, responsive and fun! They were an absolute pleasure to work with and the result was fantastic. We could not be happier. Thank you!
Gaddah Yassein, Whitby
We engaged the services of Sameer after he was highly recommended to us by close friends. We first listed our home with a team that was well marketed in the beaches area. Unfortunately our home did not sell. We were emotionally drained, frustrated and disappointed by the process and lack of empathy by the realty team. Upon meeting Sameer he immediately put us at ease and made us feel important. He presented a well thought out plan showing the steps and strategy in articulate and professional matter. Sameer only talked about what he could do and never pointed out the errors of the other agents. His confidence and knowledge were evident throughout every step including the intense negotiating of the sale of our property. Sameer sold our house well over asking price with multiple offers. We credit the sale of our home due to his high level thinking, in depth knowledge of the market and his attention to detail. He made it easy from handling everything from marketing to staging and home inspection. He ensured our lives with 2 children wouldn’t be turned upside down and was always respectful of our needs first. He associates himself with the most well respected photographers, contractors, inspectors and agents and was always there to manage the process. He informed us at every stage where we were at and was sympathetic to our every concern. Moreover, he acted upon every one of our concerns in the most diplomatic caring and understanding way. He is an above average communicator with compassion and kindness. His goal is your happiness first money second truly an anomaly in the industry. He will let you know his opinion only for your benefit and does not go along with the yes man attitude. He does what’s right for you. Sameer turned our lives around and helped us get into our dream home! If you want someone to take care of the most important decision of your life, We strongly suggest working with someone like Sameer who truly understands your happiness. Thank you Sameer for doing what the others couldn’t do.
Clinton Belcher – CEO, President, Customer Services Group and Canadian Ecotourism Services
Paul, Christian and the team did an excellent job selling our house. The property was priced perfectly and well marketed and the process was smooth and efficient.
Daniel Byrne, Toronto
My husband and I had decided that we were not going to use a real estate agent to buy or sell future properties as with past experience, their work (or lack thereof) did not justify their fee.
When a friend introduced us to Sameer, his professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market convinced us to move forward with him as our agent. He surpassed our expectations. He is articulate, patient and passionate about his work.
He sold our homes for well above our expectations and also helped us find our dream home.
Sameer is not only our agent, but has become a good friend.
I highly recommend Sameer for his professionalism, experience and expertise and solid work ethic. Thanks Sameer for being so awesome at what you do!!!
Cathy Cazzetta, CPA, CA | Senior Manager of Financial Planning and Analysis | The Globe and Mail
Paul and Christian have both been amazing. This condo was a challenge, a little out of the ordinary. In spite of that I had confidence in your approach and you succeeded. Thank you very much.
Marina Unger, Toronto
Sameer was recommended by a friend who described him as an exceptional realtor. He certainly is that, and much more. This, my 9th real estate venture, was beyond my expectations. Sameer sold my Riverdale home in one week for far above asking.
His Marketing materials, including a video and personal website, were wonderful. His negotiating skills amazed me. My neighbours on the street were most favourably impressed by his professionalism and personality.
If you are looking for an honest, ethical, hardworking and kind agent, who can not do enough for you, here he is! It was a privilege and a pleasure to be your client, Sameer. Thank you so much for everything

Paul and Christian were very helpful in moving this along. We used several of their contacts to clear the contents and ready the apartment for sale. We are grateful for their help.
Madeleine Pengelley, Toronto
Sameer is one of those rare, loyal real estate agents who actually cares that you will get the right place for you. He works by the principles of integrity, honesty, and dedication. He goes way beyond the call of duty with a work ethic that is rare today. I have dealt with multiple agents in the GTA and Sameer is a complete tier above the rest.

Deborah G. Toronto
Sameer Ismail was recommended to me by friends as an extremely professional realtor and I was not disappointed by him. Not only was he extremely enthusiastic, but he also gave valuable market knowledge that helped me achieve the sale of my luxury condo within 6 weeks and also for the highest selling price per square foot in the building.
I was out of the country while my condo was being sold and Sameer took care of the staging as well as corresponding with my solicitor to complete all the paperwork. The property management company and my neighbours commented on his professionalism.
I would gladly give a personal recommendation to use his services
Bradley Stephen – Interior Designer and Proprietor of Bradley Stephen and Associates
Hello Joanne,"Many thanks again for your hard work. We would definitely recommend you for future real estate business."
Marcelo L
Having Sameer as my guide through this process was a wonderful first-time experience, because he was so sincerely engaged in finding something that was perfect for me. He asked all the right questions and really listened to my answers, and used my time very thoughtfully and intentionally. His transparency was especially reassuring, he patiently explained each component of the process, which made the decision-making so much easier. His natural instincts for this business combined with his ability to understand what was really important to me led him to recognize my perfect home, even before I did. I’m so grateful for his guidance and will use him for every property decision I make in the future
Emily Murray – Vice President Pier 21 Asset Management
I chose Sotheby’s to sell my home because of your reputation of excellence and prestige. Another reason I chose Sotheby’s is because of Christian Vermast who is a good friend of mine who has earned his great reputation amongst my group of friends. Both Christian and Paul Maranger presented themselves elegantly and are both total gentleman. This spring real estate market was different than last as we all know so I was a little tense at times as to what the actual outcome would be. Christian and Paul were always punctual with contacting me in a timely manner and with showings. both making the sale of my home less stressful. Christian and Paul’s ‘bottom line’ conversations with me were done calmly and explained thoroughly.I was also very happy with the marketing of my home, in print and the video done which was so elegant and beautiful.Thank you Christian and Paul for everything.Best,Deborah Firestone
Deborah Firestone, Toronto
From the beginning of the process to closing the sale, Paul and his team did an exceptional job. Very proactive, professional and responsive, excellent at communicating and having all bases covered. We were also very happy with the subcontractors Paul brought in. They got so much done from minor repairs to staging, allowing us to be in market on our target date. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul and his team to friends and family. They made the process seamless, which is never easy.
Sandy Delory, Toronto
This was the second real estate transaction Sameer Ismail has managed for us. We live two hours outside of Toronto so selling a vacant condo in downtown Toronto could be a challenge. Sameer arranged to have the condo cleaned, painted and staged and on the market in two weeks. He even helped move boxes! He sold the condo within a month. Sameer is an agent who exceeds all our expectations of what we looked for in a real estate agent. He is a professional. Thank you Sameer
Peter And Lyn Wolfhard – Owner of Central Spa Supply in Midland, Ontario
When we sold our home in Toronto we were living abroad, and Sameer masterfully turned what could have been a potentially complicated and overwrought process into a very smooth and successful sale. Being out of the country meant that we had to fully hand the reigns over to Sameer, and we are so glad we did. His professionalism, attentiveness, knowledge and personal care made him stand out in a crowd. We couldn’t have done it without him.

Thank you for helping us sell our parent's home. We appreciate all of your attention to detail and support throughout the process.
Susan Charendoff, Toronto
Dwayne has now helped us buy and sell four properties, making each sale stress and carefree. His knowledge and attention to detail of the Toronto market is outstanding and he knows exactly where to price your house to sell. On both occasions he was able to pinpoint an asking price and get us over asking on both of our properties we had for sale. He also offers expert advice and suggestions especially when it comes to staging and really dials in to every detail of your home. When looking for your next home, we highly recommend Dwayne, as the process with him has been nothing but easy, fun and amazing. He is always reachable and truly does put his clients first.Thank you for all that you do Dwayne!Sincerely,Mike & Candace

Nadine has been by my side for two purchases and a sale and was a phenomenal resource for each transaction. She gives you honest advice and manages expectations during all of the highs and lows involved in real estate. Nadine was incredibly responsive to all of my questions, and was quick to find information when she didn't have the answer on hand. I couldn't imagine buying and selling without her!
Sara Bartolomeo
Great experience. We suspect that we ended up in a tough selling market. Very satisfied with the end result. Paul, Christian and their team were terrific to deal with.
Dale Durand, Toronto
We met with Paul Maranger and Christian Vermast on the recommendation of a friend, who had recently sold her house and was happy with the experience.We had been wary of sales agents. Throughout the entire process, from first meeting through the angst of decluttering to the actual sales process and after, Paul and Christian were unfailingly cheerful, polite, well informed and provided good advice.Our house sold in one and a half weeks and we were very pleased with the experience and the outcome. We would highly recommend Paul and Christian to any home owner considering putting their house on the market.

Marilyn and I were thrilled with every aspect of the service rendered to us by Paul and Christian Associates with respect to the sale of our condominium. The marketing materials provided by Trilogy were outstanding and we received many positive comments in this regard. Also, in particular, the guidance provided to us by Paul Maranger with respect to determining the exact right time to list our unit for sale and the perfect time to accept the offer that we finally accepted and which to our delight the sale was closed precisely on schedule. Marilyn and I will also be more than happy to recommend the services of Paul and Christian to our friends, relatives or others we may meet who may be appropriate. We both wish Trilogy and all of its members the very best for continued success in the future. Our very best wishes.
Michael and Marilyn, Toronto
Shawn, Paul and Christian were all very professional. I found them also very responsive and easy to work with. They worked well together, each bringing different expertise to the table! They attracted quite a lot of attention to the property given that it was not the ideal weather or time of year to show it. Thank you to all three of you! Carrie

Within moments of meeting the Sotheby's team of Paul, Nancy Lee and Christian, we knew the sale of our home would be in the hands of experts in the luxury residential market. Their straightforward and sensible guidance and slick marketing materials were pivotal in showcasing our home to solicit the "wow" factor. Despite the tough market conditions, they got us immediate and lots of attention from potential buyers with a sale in 10 days. Paul and his team were always responsive and within reach to quickly address our questions with a touch of humour as well. This is the team you want on your side to face the challenging transaction of selling your home.
Beena Narwani, Oakville
Paul and Christian were a delight. They actually made selling our condo a fun experience. Calm, knowledgeable and responsive. They have a sophisticated understanding and analysis of the real estate market coupled with highly developed interpersonal skills. I felt grateful to have chosen them to represent us as they were nimble about responding to all the issues which can arise during a real estate transaction. They sold our condo within days of listing. We recommend them highly to anyone planning to buy or sell.
Judith Killoran, Toronto
Christian was a pleasure to deal with during our real estate transaction. He’s very knowledgeable about the vagaries of the real estate market in Toronto and he uses his broad experience to your advantage as a client. I would recommend him highly to anyone seeking a seasoned, effective professional.

Paul, Christian and the team did an excellent job selling our house. The property was priced perfectly and well marketed and the process was smooth and efficient.
Daniel Byrne, Toronto
Selling your home in a volatile market can be a very stressful and downright scary experience. Yet Paul's professionalism, in-depth knowledge of the market, and advice put us at ease as we navigated the showings, open houses, and offers. Paul has the unique ability to very efficiently steer the process while still making us feel like we're having a coffee and chat at Starbucks! An absolute pleasure to deal with. And the house sold!

Marilyn and I were thrilled with every aspect of the service rendered to us by Trilogy with respect to the sale of our condominium. The marketing materials provided by Trilogy were outstanding and we received many positive comments in this regard. Also, in particular, the guidance provided to us by Paul Maranger with respect to determining the exact right time to list our unit for sale and the perfect time to accept the offer that we finally accepted and which to our delight the sale was closed precisely on schedule. Marilyn and I will also be more than happy to recommend the services of Trilogy to our friends, relatives or others we may meet who may be appropriate. We both wish Trilogy and all of its members the very best for continued success in the future. Our very best wishes for the holiday season and for a very happy and successful 2018.

Working with Nadine throughout this process has been not only a pleasure, but a revelation.
Selling your home and looking for another can be arduous. Working with Nadine relieved all the stress and inconveniences usually experienced when selling a home.
Listing exclusively with Nadine meant she personally pre-qualified prospective buyers, and limited visits to serious buyers only.
From our first meeting, Nadine was always readily available; she provided concierge-like service and made us feel like we were her only clients.
The next time I find myself in a position to sell a property, I will do so with an exclusive listing and I'd only trust Nadine to handle it.

Bravo Team Trilogy!! You work so well together. To come to consensus based on three people’s opinion was definitely VERY helpful. Thank you for doing an excellent job.

I was considering selling my luxury 3 bedroom condo at 1 St. Thomas Street when I received a letter from Nadine Robbins of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada saying that she had a qualified buyer for my suite. I was reluctant to show it as it was not nearly “photo-ready”. Nadine was gently persistent, and I finally agreed. After just 3 showings, and exceptional service, she successfully negotiated a deal that met my admittedly high expectations with a minimum of inconvenience.
I believe you would be very comfortable exclusively listing your property with Nadine.

We really appreciated her hard-work, patience, kindness and expert advice and are particularly thankful for her honesty and integrity. We would definitely recommend Nadine to any of our family and friends.

I am so happy our family used Sotheby’s International Realty to sell our family home. Paul, Christian and their team were very professional and did a fantastic job not only selling the home in less than a week but through the whole process of getting the home ready, explaining everything, and always able to respond to any questions we had. We are truly grateful to Paul, Christian and their team. I would highly recommend them. Sincerely, Christine

Nadine,
I just wanted to thank you for the excellent service and really appreciate the kindness and attention extended by you. When I really knew nothing about buying a condo, Nadine treated me like a serious buyer and I think that had a great impact on my eventual purchase.
JASON WONG
Nadine is a professional and caring real estate agent. She very soon figured out what we were looking for and instead of trying to change our minds to accept what was immediately available, she concentrated on finding what we needed through an efficient manner and she was successful! She is organised, responsible and resourceful and it was a pleasure for me to work with her.

I am most pleased to provide this reference letter regarding the relocation services provided to one of our Executives by Nadine Robbins.
She assisted our Executive in planning, coordinating and arranging his somewhat complex move from Dublin, Ireland including the sale of his home in Edinburgh, Scotland. Once he arrived in Toronto the personalized service that she provided to our Executive and his spouse was attentive and tailored to their specific needs. Their search for a new home presented Nadine with numerous challenges, all of which she met head on. She recognized with sensitivity the cultural issues that the couple were facing and managed the situation accordingly.
I have no hesitation in recommending Nadine and would be most pleased to speak directly with anyone seeking a more detailed reference.
Yours truly,

Please be advised that I engaged the real estate services of Nadine Robbins to carry out the sale of my property and sell me another property in October 2010.
During both the selling and the purchase process I found Nadine to be very knowledgeable and professional as well as personable.
I would have no hesitation in engaging her services in the future and I most certainly would highly recommend her to others!

We recently relocated from the US to Toronto and had an extremely limitted time in which to locate the perfect home. Luckily, my sister referred us to Nadine Robbins in your office. Nadine is fantastic! She listened to our needs, found numerous homes on the MLS for us to tour and helped point out the pros and cons of each one. Her knowledge of the area combined with her positive and inquisitive attitude helped to find a gorgeous rental home that was unlisted. She then helped negotiate an affordable price and terms.
We highly recommend Nadine to anyone looking for a home to rent or buy in Toronto.
Feel free to contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,
Hank & Kate Armstrong
We had the great pleasure of working with Paul and Christian on both sides of our transaction. At times the calming voice(s) in what is always a fraught process and at others the firm voice(s) of reason prompting us into action. We were demanding and deeply engaged clients; which both Christian and Paul responded to with grace and good humour. They know their business and are confident in rendering their counsel, all the while showing respect for the interests and perspectives of the client. We are very content with how both sides of the transaction concluded. Having these gentlemen negotiate our way through the process was "almost" painless. Highly recommend them to any clients looking for good counsel and effective outcomes.

Paul and Christian have both been amazing. This condo was a challenge, a little out of the ordinary. In spite of that I had confidence in your approach and you succeeded. Thank you very much.
Marina Unger, Toronto
When I decided to purchase my first condo, I didn't know how to begin or where to start. Nadine made the experience easy and stress-free. I'm now a confident buyer and Nadine is helping me find a second condo as an investment.

Nadine's knowledge of the the Toronto condominium market is outstanding. She negotiated the best price and terms for my property and her service far exceeded my expectations. I have, and will continue to, recommend her to all my friends.

Paul and Christian did an amazing job managing the sell process. He was proactive with the paperwork and did a great job setting expectations. I appreciated the advice that he provided on staging the condo and on the sell strategy. All of this great effort resulted in me receiving an excellent offer above asking.I would highly recommend Paul and Christian & Associates to others.

On behalf of my wife Nelly and I, it is my please to write to you to commend you on the manner with which you had arranged your undertaking to find us a suitable condominium residence in Toronto.
You have, in this difficult process, educated us about the condominium market, pricing structure, quality and amenities available, location, and finally you have patiently arranged for and showed us some 20 different condo units. It helped educate us about the Toronto market and better determine our "real" requirements and the realistic pricing structure in the marketplace. You were hard at work initiating leads for unlisted condo units and used your relationships to provide us with inside knowledge about the listed units.
Having lived in two single family houses for over 48 years and not being familiar with the condo market in Toronto, this was a most useful exercise.
You also guided us through the process of making purchase and sale offers in quick time and through the process of closing the purchase.
Your significant experience, your enthusiasm and personality were paramount in making this difficult process a happy experience, and it goes without saying that we are extremely happy with the condo purchased.
We wish therefore to take this opportunity to thank you, and you may use this letter for reference purpose.
With my best wishes,
Michael

Paul Maranger provided us seasoned guidance and excellent project management resulting in the sale of our property. He marketed the home very well recommending a star stager, a very talented photographer, and provided responsive publishers. His experienced team was large enough to hold many open houses and showings during a challenging period in the market. Paul listened to us, was highly accessible, and communicated well throughout. Paul thanks to your entire team!..Jan and Pete

Paul and Christian are the consummate Realtor professionals. From their initial review and listing price research through photography, floor plan preparation, outstanding brochure and web presence through finally settling the sale agreement, they were knowledgeable, experienced, helpful and always competent. We've already recommended them to others and won't hesitate to do so again in the future.

Paul, Christian and Nadine gets it done!This is our third time working with Nadine Robbins. Nadine gets to know her clients and understands very well what they are looking for in a home. Within a short time of meeting us, Nadine was able to find us a condo that we instantly fell in love with and that suited our needs perfectly. Nadine has also helped to sell an investment property. Nadine is not only deeply knowledgeable of the condo market in Toronto, you can be certain that she will go to bat for her clients.As part of the Paul & Christian Associates team, we appreciated the combined marketing and sales experience and expertise of Paul, Christian and Nadine. Together, they helped guide us through the process of selling our condo with utmost professionalism, sound advice, and integrity. They are a delight to work with and we are very pleased with the results delivered.
