Its never about the money!

Oh please! Its always about the money.


I'm David Pylyp 
A Realtor here in Toronto, Canada.

This year will be my best year in 25 years of real estate.

Here's how I'm going to do it.

I work with mostly higher end clients and luxury homes, located in Etobicoke, that's west Toronto, in the Kingsway, Princess Manor, Bloor west and High Park, Markland Wood and the Humber Bay Shores.  Also, a little bit into Mississauga,

The David Pylyp Team is built on being ethical. We really believe in our clients. They appreciate our Integrity and ethics. When I worked on Bay Street, a wise man told me that there was the ROB principle.  Results or Bullshit. We believe in the no Bullshit rule, as we share information and deliver great service.

In order to put clients interests first,  there needs to be collaboration and trust among agents. We don't do drama which distracts us from the goal of client service. Real Estate agents for some reason are generally thought to be very cut throat. We're trying to create a culture where collaboration among the agents exist.

The information that is Shared becomes very important; 
this creates Good energy and that parlays into referral business and great Word of Mouth Advertising.

I think clients today, are much more sophisticated than they ever were, because of the WEB. They have a much better understanding of all the details of the property, the structure & the overalltransaction. So therefore they are much more sophisticated than they were, even 5 years ago,  Making us, the real estate agent, a specialist at a much higher level. In order for you to have confidence in us, to be able to show you that we are experts at what we do.

The clients trust us to market their house effectively, expose it to as many people as possible, and doing so professionally, ethically and you are actually going to deliver! Do it. Not just lying to them.

I cannot tell you how many clients call and say Well I had the house listed and I was told by my agent that they would do all of these gazzillion things and they did nothing.  Acting on your words is so important. If you are not going to do it...   Don't say it. Its that Simple.

I love using the sites like MLS.ca, now Realtor.ca I specifically like Google, Youtube and Jugnoo. There are other sites also and I find we need every method possible to get the properties out there. 

I find that educating the client is not harmful. Its a question of our expertise and our being able to service the client from offer to purchase, finance, inspections through to completion. Total Transaction management.

Facebook we just use to put up photography, topics of interest and to keep in touch, Pinterest draws viewers to our other web pages.  Twitter is more Engagement and up to the minute events. You cannot be afraid to spend money on marketing, Social Media and Technology.

Time and marketing can give you a very high return on your investment. Thats return on Investment. Not return on EGO. 

Technology has allowed us to be in a lot more places, in less time. If you are not keeping up with technology you are not going to survive in this world.  We need to Go after the business...  

So, you want someone who can handle things for you in a competent fashion.

Do you feel confident I can get you those results?

One of three things are going to happen;

  • List the house today
  • Decide Not to list with me
  • or Maybe I won't take the listing

Have we finally hit the tipping Point?


The months stats say that the real estate market has slowed down and I wonder why?

It’s the summer time? Hottest July on Record! Poor Press in the Media?   Shortened Mortgage AMs while rates stagnate at 3%?  Gas Prices? Insurance Rates? Commuting Times?  Land Transfer Taxes 416 and 905?   

Let’s ask a different question?

If your family member was getting married…   Is it better to help them with the Wedding Expense?   Or would you forgo the wedding,   Suggest they elope, and help them purchase an appreciating asset.

Join the Poll



We continue [The GTA] to be a safe haven for money, security, jobs, education and lifestyle.   When people stop coming to Toronto, I will begin to be concerned.  The rest is just selling newspapers

How can I help your family achieve their goals this year?

Toronto Millionaires Bullish on Real Estate


The perfect storm,

Lower than expected inventories of available homes;  incredibly low borrowing costs compared to Cost of Living and Inflation.  Bank deposits are in single digit yield territory while Real Estate in Toronto continues to remain strong and in short supply for Toronto's elite.

Toronto West luxury sales in Toronto’s West End so far this year, with the number of homes sold down 14 per cent from the same period in 2011. Eighteen properties priced in excess of $1.5 million changed hands between January 1st and March 31st, 2012—with close to 40 per cent (seven) moving at or over list price. Twenty-one sales occurred in the fi rst quarter of 2011.  
The vast majority of 2012 sales occurred in prestigious W08—which is comprised of some of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in the West End, including the Kingsway, Edenbridge, Edgehill, Thorncrest Village, Humber Valley, Princess Margaret and Princess Ann Manor. The area is also home to the most expensive home currently listed for sale in the West End, a custom-built, 10,000 sq. ft. estate on 1.4 acres, overlooking the St. George Golf and Country Club, priced at $7.987 million. Tear downs and infill are a huge component of today’s luxury market, with many smaller homes on large lots sold  for land value only. Traditional blue-chip areas like High Park have also seen pricing move into upperend  price points—at just over $1.5 million—with many sold in competitive situations.  
The highest  priced sale in the West End during Q1 2012 occurred in Baby Point at $2,750,013. Impressive equity  gains in recent years and today’s low interest rates have been the primary catalysts for most purchasers in the top end. Volatility in the stock market has also prompted greater focus on real estate...

Oakville Are You being seen?


With technology in 2K10 it is easier for shoppers on line, to find anything they seek. Buyers relocating to [their] future towns and neighbourhoods for employment are coming to the mecca of Toronto.

The Oakville scene is a happening little place (2006 population 165,613 [2]) is a town in Halton Region, on Lake Ontario in Southern Ontario, Canada, and is part of the Greater Toronto Area. Wiki Oakville You are indeed a part of the Greater Toronto Area.

This is important. In this information age of technology and sharing of data, why, why would you become exclusionary in who gets your data. Are you going to build a little electronic fence? Who or What element are you trying to keep out?

If I was a home seller in Oakville, I want my information broadcast, SCREAMED, smoke signaled and distributed in every fashion possible to any potential prospect or people looking on line. The logic of this decision escapes me, however the Oakville Real Estate Board has chosen to make it more challenging for it's membership to load and share data with the Toronto Real Estate Board.

The TREB currently has 31,000 paid up members that share in 84,000 ('2009) transactions within the Toronto Real estate trading area. Last year those statistics included W21. UMM Oakville sold 1,670 units. You could get the detailed sales history for w21 for the last 12 month period if you click here; but its incomplete. I need to go to the Oakville Milton board too?

See remarks above ... Why WHY WHY would you not want your listing shared with 31,000 eager, hungry, creative and enthusiastic agents willing to complete a transaction, buyer or seller for you?

If you are considering the sale of your home;
  • Is it possible that the purchaser is not an Oakville Native?
  • Could the buyer be stepping past the border from Mississauga to Oakville?
  • A Move up buyer from Toronto?
  • Do you feel this is the best way to market your home?
  • New to Canada?
  • Corporate Relocation?

Add your perspective...

I thought that technology broke down barriers and expanded the information available.
