Linda & Lisa Marie are expert Realtors in the Yorkville Neighbourhood, they helped me prepare my house for sale including dramatic staging and photography that attracted an offer in just 2 days after being on the market and sold for a record price for that property type on the street.

I worked with Lisa-Marie on two properties: One recreational property in northernOntario and one in Manhattan. In both instances, Lisa-Marie’s professionalismwas remarkable. She quickly ‘got me’ and worked incredibly hard to get the bestprice and more importantly, the best property. Her diligence, preparedness andoverall care she puts into her work are evident every step of the way. For the NYproperty, we flew down on a Friday and within 48 hours, we made an offer whichwas subsequently accepted by the seller. The deal would not have happened soquickly had it not been for the unbelievable amount of planning and work done byLisa-Marie ahead of time. We physically viewed 17 properties over twoafternoons. All had been pre-vetted and detailed in spreadsheets byneighborhood, pricing and evaluated against my “wish list”. Lisa-Marie is theagent any home buyer wants: trust-worthy, diligent, thorough and completely intouch with her clients’ needs. I would recommend her to anyone and for anymarket. She does the work needed to get you what you want.

It was a pleasure to work with Linda and Lori on this listing. Their advice and handling of the property was professional and effective with the listing being rented above asking within a week of being posted.

We have known Linda since 2007. To date Linda has been with us for 2 sales and multiple rentals. Currently we are working on a purchase. We are very loyal to Linda because she is the best!
As non-resident Canadians, originally from Toronto, I firmly believe in the investment value of the Toronto downtown market. After years of fumbling, and losing, with real estate investments in other parts of the world, we decided to return to Canada. We count on Linda and she does not disappoint.
Linda is very and most importantly a pleasure to work with. I know that most will have read the previous sentence and have only seen a string of positive adjectives. Every word in that sentence is merited. When you’re working with Linda, she speaks to you as a partner and there is no doubt that she is on your side. During our first sale, Linda brought us a reasonable offer which we declined. Most agents would have tried to persuade us into taking the offer or given up and moved on to easier sales. Not Linda. She simply went back to doing what she does best and, within 3 days, we had 2 competitive bids which concluded in a sale.
Linda does her homework and will not waste your time. Everything is well researched and presented to you in a professional manner which anyone can understand. Recently we sold a unit which was not yet closed with the builder. This sale was very complicated as most agents don’t understand the process and it requires coordination with Lawyers and the builder. Linda worked with everyone, helped other agents through the process and eventually got it done. Additionally, thanks to Linda’s diligence, we have never had any problems or concerns with any renter Linda has put into our units.
We have recommended Linda to several of our friends. They have all been extremely pleased with Linda and have thanked us for the referral.
Thank you Linda!

I’ve worked with Linda on a number of purchases and sales over the years and cannot recommend her enough. She is extremely knowledgeable, particularly within the Toronto real estate market, and always willing to provide sound advice when asked. I’ve found her to be honest, realistic, and hardworking. She has never failed to exceed my expectations when providing market data and subsequently deciphering its content.
Linda has been an extremely valuable member of my real estate advisory team and I wouldn’t consider making a home purchase without her.
Kind regards,

After 5 happy years living in our townhouse near Trinity Bellwoods, and with a permanent return home to England planned for the summer, Anthony and I found ourselves at the start of the Covid19 pandemic with a property to sell quickly in what seemed impossible circumstances. (I was in lockdown in the UK, A was in lockdown in Toronto.) A chance introduction to Linda Chu, of Sotheby’s Realty, and her partner, Lisa-Marie Doorey, moved us within hours from anxiety to confident action and optimism. Linda and the team took over every aspect of what was an extraordinarily complex operation – achieving a full makeover of our property and garden in lockdown; assisting with packing and temporary storage; connecting us with all the trades we needed in a detailed schedule of regulated, safe visits. We were overwhelmingly impressed by the skill and attention to detail they put into preparing all the legal and professional documents (many more necessary than usual because of Covid) and their background research, ensuring that when the property came to market everything had been considered, in advance. They were in daily contact, checking in, constantly cheerful and patient, smoothing over problems, and their exceptional experience shone through. This was ultimately demonstrated in their advice regarding the sale price and timing – we received an offer over our asking price after just 4 viewing days. We can’t thank Linda and her team enough for going the extra miles (when they, too, were in lockdown!), giving us the very best of their professional advice, and achieving a first-class result for us.

We had a wonderful experience working with Lisa and Linda, from beginning to the end of selling our home. They went above and beyond to ensure the home was looking its best for showings. They covered all their bases with marketing, and showcased the home beautifully. Thank you ladies!

I can't be more grateful to Lisa Marie for her excellent work on the recent sale of my home.In her work with me as a first time home-seller, I found her to be infinitely patient as she walked me through the process, offering excellent advice while respectfully balancing my thoughts and expectations. All along the way, it felt more like a partnership than a business transaction. Lisa Marie's expertise coupled with her impeccable taste in staging my home resulted in a record sale for a semi-detached home in my area and a very happy seller and buyer. All of this during the unprecedent first wave Covid-19 lockdown! I can't thank her enough!Joanna Ivey, Toronto

Such a great team to work with! They made an emotional and potentially overwhelming life change as smooth as it could possibly be. They were true professionals

I would heartily recommend Lisa Marie - and Linda and Bojan - for their exceptional guidance and expertise, which made selling my home seem effortless. I had full confidence in her pricing and comprehensive marketing, exceptional staging, and seamless negotiation. I was happy to be in the hands of this professional team of such nice people.

I was very pleased with the exceptional work that Linda Chu and her team performed in the sale of 90 Asquith. They cleared the backyard, hired a very good estate clearer and an exceptional mover. Liivi Forster
My wife and I worked most closely with Linda Chu and we were deeply touched by her deep and sympathetic understanding of our situation, her knowledge and professionalism (she always explained things clearly to me and demonstrated an excellent understanding of the market), and most especially by her kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity. She never hesitated to go the extra mile, e.g. I asked her if she might be able to find a home for our 12 and a half foot tall ficus tree, which we were unable to take with us in the move. It seemed to be more wishful thinking on my part than a request. So imagine my surprise when my phone pinged a couple of days before our closing date and lo and behold there is a picture of the tree in its new home. It's hard for me to say how touched I was by that act of kindness (we had lived with that tree for over thirty years). She also returned our internet modem for us. Nothing seemed to be too big or too small. More professionally and practically, she worked well with the person who staged our home and she was able to help us get a price for the sale that went way beyond our expectations. The selling and the move have been such a difficult process for us and we both feel that we could never have done it, if not for Linda.The Reuters
