Find a Condo That Fits Your Life.

A condo should work for the way you live. I help you look at the layout, building, costs and location together, whether you are buying, selling or considering a change of home.

Discuss My Condo Plans

Six things worth weighing.

The asking price is only the start.

Layout and space

Room use, storage, light and day-to-day practicality.

Maintenance fees

What the stated fee covers and the ownership costs beyond it. Verify property-specific facts.

Parking and access

Parking arrangement, access routes, elevators and carrying everyday items.

Building management

Management, maintenance and relevant building information. Legal documents are for a lawyer to interpret.

Amenities and rules

Actual amenities and relevant building rules. Not every building offers the same features.

Location and lifestyle

Transport, errands, local amenities and proximity to the places that matter to you.

Watch, then read.

Questions worth asking.

01What should I compare beyond the asking price?

The monthly fee and what it covers, whether parking and a locker are included, the size of the reserve fund, and any special assessments. The status certificate brings most of this together.

02What do maintenance fees include?

It varies by building. Fees usually fund common-area upkeep, building insurance and the reserve fund, and some buildings include heat, water or hydro. Check the building's budget rather than assuming.

03What is a status certificate?

A package from the condo corporation covering its finances, budget, reserve fund, insurance and any legal issues. In Ontario the corporation must offer a $100 option and deliver it within 10 days of the request and payment. Have your lawyer review it, usually as a condition of your offer.

04How does parking affect everyday use?

Check whether the spot is owned or exclusive-use, how far it is from the elevator, and whether EV charging is allowed. These change both daily life and resale.

Status certificate rules: Condominium Act, 1998 and the Condo Authority of Ontario.
