What Toronto Real Estate Investment Is Right For You?
What Do Our Clients Say?
Posted on Okade InvestmentsJune 27, 2026. I worked with Laryssa through the process of searching, buying and renovating an investment property in Toronto. She had a solid approach to vetting deals, walking through neighbourhood profiles and projecting returns/cap rates which demonstrated her in-depth knowledge of both the purchase and rental Toronto real estate markets. The knowledge base and guidance received was instrumental in what turned out to be a smooth deal identification through execution process. After closing, Laryssa also provided valuable assistance with contractor introductions, design layout opinions and insights that helped extract strong value-add on rental units from a cost/benefit standpoint. I would recommend her and the Elevate team if interested in purchasing multifamily investment properties in Toronto.Posted on A BMay 31, 2026. I had an incredible experience working with Laryssa while searching for a new apartment! She planned our showings efficiently and quickly picked up on what I liked and didn’t like. She even created a detailed spreadsheet of every unit we saw, complete with status updates, which made the entire process so much easier to navigate. Throughout the search, she was consistently prompt, organized and communicative. When I finally chose a place, she took the time to walk me through the lease terms and helped negotiate better conditions and rent. She’s friendly, easy to talk to, and genuinely made the experience enjoyable. I’d highly recommend Laryssa to anyone looking for a place to call home!Posted on Betsabe GuillenMay 25, 2026. After a few bad news, I had to rush into finding a new apartment for myself and two cats. Lucky I came across one of Karina's rental property. Communication is great for booking a view, afterwards all the necessary paperwork exchange was a breeze. I am really grateful for Karina's assistance. If it wasn't for her I'm not sure I would've been able to find an apartment with such short notice. Thank you very much 🙏🏽Posted on General WeldingMay 14, 2026. Recently worked with Kate from Elevate to lease out my triplex and Garden Suite. Kate was fantastic to work with. She leased out all 4 units for top of the market rents in under 2 weeks in a down market. She is very professional and executed the game plan exactly how she drew it up. Highly recommend Kate and Elevate for all your leasing needs.Posted on diana herreraMay 7, 2026. I had an excellent experience working with Sheryl Song as my broker. From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and patient in guiding me through the entire process. She took the time to clearly explain every step, making sure I fully understood both the purchasing process and the investment aspects involved. One of the things I appreciated most was how quickly she understood my style, preferences, and what I was truly looking for in a property. She carefully selected listings that matched my criteria, which saved me from spending time on unnecessary viewings and made the entire search process much more efficient. What impressed me even more was her strong financial insight and deep understanding of real estate investing. She looked beyond the property itself and helped me evaluate each opportunity from a strategic perspective, explaining the long-term value, potential risks, and future return possibilities in a very thoughtful and practical way. Thanks to her expertise and organization, in less than a month we had already found the right property, selected the legal team, and moved confidently through the next stages of the purchase. I would highly recommend Sheryl to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and dedicated real estate broker.Posted on Maggie HallMay 5, 2026. We had the best experience working with Karina, who helped us find a perfect place for our family. We were so lucky to find something on short notice, and the whole process took away so much of the stress of moving!! Highly recommend for anyone in the GTA looking for a great realtor.Posted on Brook StaceyMay 2, 2026. I am so glad to have found elevate!! They were efficient in finding me a great deal and place! They connections to contractors electricians plumbers has made the whole process extremely smooth! I closed on a deal within 3 months of meeting them ! I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an investment or residential property! Laryssa my agent was especially hard working! Always available and running around and getting the deal done! 5 stars !Posted on Millie WongMarch 21, 2026. We had an excellent experience working with Laryssa on our first multiplex property. She really listened to what we wanted and consistently brought us opportunities that aligned with our goals. What stood out was her ability to see the potential—she walked us through the numbers and even sketched rough floor plans, making it easy to visualize the project. After closing, she connected us with her trusted network, including our architect and contractors, which made the process seamless. A year later, once the conversion was complete, she showed the same level of care in helping us find the right tenants. Laryssa is knowledgeable, responsive, and operates with real integrity. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be working with her again on future projects.Posted on Emily FromanMarch 9, 2026. We had a great experience working with David throughout the leasing process. He made everything quick and easy from start to finish, and was always friendly, professional, and responsive. He answered our questions promptly and made sure the entire process was smooth and straightforward. It’s clear he genuinely cares about making things easy for tenants. We really appreciate how seamless the experience was and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a rental.Posted on Deepiga VigMarch 2, 2026. Our agent Phil Gardner, was incredible to work with on our first multiplex purchase. He understood our investment criteria, consistently sent thoughtfully analyzed listings (often with prelim proformas), and never lost momentum. His expertise in the multiplex space spans the entire value-chain that you don't get with most realtors. We would not have found the right property without his insight of the market, zoning, and building code requirements!! He's an all-rounder and even through the showings accurately predicted reno/conversion requirements and associated costs. We look forward to working with him again on our next purchase! If you’re looking for someone who combines technical strength with genuine care and persistence, we highly recommend him.
