Find the Best Agent for your Etobicoke Prebuild Condo

What Makes a Good Agent?

If you are one of the many buyers looking for prebuild condos in Etobicoke, your first concern will be to get the best possible real estate agent for your quest. All of them will, of course, have professional accreditation and training. But beyond than that, in the competitive condo market, the first quality you need is experience.  Get an agent who can guide you from start to finish in the search for the right home – or investment property. The agent should be prepared to give you references – lots of them.

In a city as diverse as Toronto, here’s another idea: find an agent who speaks your language! That’s not an odd consideration because the condo search all boils down to communication. The market is time sensitive and you need to be on the same page as your agent – all the time. You don’t want communication hiccups to stand in the way of moving quickly on a property. And you need your agent to stay in constant contact with you.

Get a listener. You need the agent to understand exactly what your goals are – and to ask you the right questions about going forward. What is your motivation behind buying – or selling – and your time frame?

Investing in GTA Mississauga Prebuild Condos

On the western end of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) several condo developments are creating a great deal of excitement. Mississauga, just west of Toronto and adjacent to Lester Pearson Airport, is adding a number of stunning additions to its town centre. The city already boasts a wide range and evolution of architecture within its borders, leading up to the futuristic designs of the present.

Foremost of the new projects is M City. The master-planned community in the city centre is using iconic and daring architecture characterized by futuristic design. Ample public parkland is also part of the developments plan.

M City is close to a number of amenities that make condos attractive both to owner-residents and renters. Sheridan College is close by, as well as an array of restaurants and cafes which reflect Mississauga’s multicultural heritage with their wide-ranging cuisine. City Hall and the Central Library are right across the street. And the centre has easy access to bus and GO transit routes, as well as major highways and the airport.

 Highrise Or Midrise? – The Choice Is Yours

The M City development is notable for its size but many condo developments are smaller, boutique or mid-rise in height. Smaller scale projects can be appealing to buyers because they often offer an increased feeling of "being on the street” or part of a neighbourhood. This is worth considering if you are leaving a single family home where you enjoyed the street access (but likely not the upkeep!) Something as simple as pet ownership could ultimately be your deciding criteria; how easy will it be to get Fido out for his walks if you are a few dozen floors up?

Often smaller buildings don’t have the same amenities as a larger building; if a pool, spa or gym are not important to you – it may be wise to think small. Due your own due diligence, but also find a condo realtor who listens to your concerns can help you choose.
