Why I’m A Top Ten Realtor

Media/Press, Real Estate, The Best of Urbaneer

 

When I was a kid, my father told me to “Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow”.

I embraced that advice.

I love what I do.

Every day is a real estate adventure.

The Toronto Real Estate Market can be a challenge to navigate successfully, especially when one seeks their “perfect” home or wonders about the long term asset viability for different property types. Buying and selling property in Toronto is not about luck or timing, it is about comprehending the market, past, present and future- and understanding your place in it as a buyer or seller. In order to do this effectively, it helps to have an ally with decades of experience through the ups and downs of the market and a multi-disciplinary education in housing (which incidentally, are some of the key items in the urbaneer.com tool box).

I’m Steven Fudge, a well-rounded, personable housing expert who operates urbaneer.com (along with my brilliant associates who help steer the urbaneer brand), which is a sales and marketing division of Bosley Real Estate. The lynchpin of my personal and professional lives (which intersect and overlap because of a genuine love my work) is the spiritual importance and meaning of Home in our contemporary culture. I’m honoured to reveal I rank as one of Bosley Real Estate’s Top Ten sales associates for volume and dollar sales in 2012, and have earned a seat on the company’s Executive Committee.

Fundamentals like trust, accountability and integrity figure heavily into my philosophy and have yielded a long, happy list of clients, with whom I have been lucky enough to align myself with during the search for house and home. Whether it’s for that perfect first home, a strategic investment property, or that exciting next step up the property ladder, I help people with their real estate needs in the original city of Toronto. Although I assist clients however they require (from buying to selling to style enhancement), my client focus is on helping realize the highest return on real estate investments.

Furthermore, because of my innate belief in the value of “Home”, I take time and care to find the property best suited to a client’s needs and wants, even if it means waiting. When it comes to preparing a property to go to market, or when purchasing a property with asset value over time in mind, I identify a property’s best qualities, features and insouciant charm in the context of the future target market. My clients are appreciative of the combination of my well-rounded aesthetic and attention to detail and knowledge of lifestyle trends and desires.

For over two decades, I have worked with specific construction, design and custom trades to execute both mine and my clients’ renovations. I also have access to retail home furnishing designer discounts for clients. I have a cache of furnishings to draw on as necessary to elevate listings.

In the real estate industry, referrals and recommendations are the back bone of our business. A client well-served not only becomes a client for life, but also creates opportunities for assisting their friends, family and associates too. Here’s a few testimonials from past clients:

Matt and Della said, “We went looking for a house and you found our home. The difference between the two is hard to articulate. And it is your gift.” “Whenever we hear other buyers and sellers in the market relate a story about their process we feel so fortunate to have worked with you. And that’s not even mentioning all the tremendous help you’ve extended to us after we purchased our place. Everyone tosses the words ‘blessed’ and ‘grateful’ in every sentence like they’re verbal croutons these days, but we feel both when we consider how lucky we are to have worked with you. You are an expert in your field, have an empathy and facility with people, and truly have a gift for what you do.”

Jean-Marc and Ella said, “Your understanding of the neighbourhoods, the pricing, and in general, the psychology of buying and selling was key to helping us find our new home. And, you really were “there for us” when we needed you to help us evaluate prospective properties: the fact that you steered us away from inferior properties when just giving up and settling for an inferior home is testament to your integrity.”

Nadine and Jonathan said, “The information he provided us was sound, we really came to rely on, and value, his opinion when looking for the right home. He continually made himself available to us, was always quick with a response to our never-ending list of questions, and he really listened to what we were looking for in a first home. Steven also gave us honest feedback on the properties we viewed. We would recommend him as a realtor to any home buyer without hesitation.”

Scott said; “I would like to thank you again for your help selling my home. I am exceedingly pleased with the result; certainly from a standpoint of final sale price but equally as important from the perspective of ease, comfort and confidence with the process… I always knew what was happening and what to expect next. It is very uncommon for someone to provide service with such consistency of word and action; it was a pleasure to work with you.”

At urbaneer.com, we LOVE what we do, and consider ourselves most fortunate, both to be in the business that we are and to have the amazing clients that we do. I, and the Urbaneer team, make it our mission to guide you from your first to final purchase, plus any property in between. Along with educating, advising and gently steering you, our mandate is to identify the best locations and properties within your budget, identify dwellings you can easily upgrade and build equity over the long term, and counsel you on which final improvements can help you realize top dollar when it comes to sell. That’s our urbaneer way.

If you, or someone you love, is looking for real estate expertise with a commitment to service, please know we’re here to help!
