JJ was amazing. He was honest, sharing his experience to guide us towards a property that suited us long-term. He was patient, never pushing us to make a decision that may not align with our goals. Extremely professional and also personable. He worked hard to get us our home - first place we offered on, bought under asking. I’ve had multiple friends say they want to switch realtors after hearing about my experience! Can’t imagine having done it with anyone else. - Helen Piekoszewski
We’re really glad we had JJ to help us find a new home. As university students with a very tight time crunch, we had numerous difficulties and uncertainties with many plan changes. But JJ helped us through it all and we’re very satisfied with the place he found for us. As first time renters, we are so thankful to have had JJ’s help. - Alisa Great person and agent, fun to work with as well as efficient! JJ is understanding of different backgrounds/situations/budgets, and is overall tolerant and patient. A highly professional individual, and amazing person. - Leila Nie - Alisa & Leila Nie
I couldn’t be happier about choosing JJ to help in my rental search. We dealt with a tough market but he assisted me in finding the perfect condo that fit all my requirements. I probably would have lost out on this condo if it weren’t for his speed and persistence! I found his advice and recommendations to be extremely helpful all throughout the rental process. - Rehaan
JJ sold our house for a shocking amount over asking. I think we probably got 15-20% more than we could have gotten with a novice agent. In our sale he excelled at countless things, but the top ones were negotiation, staging, and market timing. JJ is a great choice as a listing agent, i give him as a high of a recommendation as i can - Neil
JJ is an amazing real estate agent! I never dreamed we’d own a house like the one he was able to get for us. He is an amazing negotiator. He is also very knowledgeable and is extremely easy to talk to. He really cares about getting the perfect house for you. He definitely made the buying experience less stressful, I would highly recommend him. - Katie Urquhart
Reply: Thanks for the review Kate! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and your family, and I am so happy we found you the perfect property at a great price in a crazy market. I'm Looking forward to having you in the neighbourhood and dropping by in the Spring to enjoy your incredible backyard!
I found JJ on rate-my-agent and was impressed by what everyone had to say, so I added him to my shortlist of real estate agents. JJ stood out among the realtors I interviewed because he had a team approach from the very first call. Despite being the expert on buying/selling houses, he didn't talk at me. Instead, he listened to what I had to say and was willing to work together. After showings, he provided honest opinions without being pushy. He let me know if he felt like I needed to seriously consider a property or if he had concerns about a property that I liked. Finding the right place took some time, but JJ checked in occasionally and always offered to help in any way he could. Thanks to JJ, I ended up purchasing the perfect first home at an amazing price. He really does act in his clients' best interests! I'm happy I chose to work with JJ and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent. - Busola
Reply: Thank you for the lovely review Busola! It was an absolute pleasure working with you on the purchase of your first home. I'm thrilled that you found me on rate my agent, found reviews from past clients nsightful and, after speaking with me, trusted me to represent you in such a big decision. Picking the right agent can be difficult, and I am thrilled you feel you made the right choice and are happy with my services and the result. I look forward to assisting you with your real estate needs.
JJ recently helped me find a rental property that suits my needs perfectly. After a short conversation JJ was able to set up several viewings that met all of my requirements and helped secure the place I wanted most. I would highly recommend his service for anyone looking to rent in the area! - Aidan Ritchie
This was my second time working with JJ, and both times his service has been phenomenal. He is highly knowledgeable, truly had my best interest in mind, and went above and beyond to find the perfect place for me. JJ made the process smooth and stress free, all the way from the initial stages to making sure I had everything I needed for moving day. I would highly recommend JJ to anyone who is looking for a trusted agent! - Sarah T
Reply: It's always such a pleasure working with you Sarah. I'm so happy to have found you the perfect place and look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks for the kind words, I'm looking forward to seeing what you have done with the new property :)
JJ is a spectacular agent who is responsive and always has his clients best interest in mind. 10/10 experience, and an overall wonderful guy in general. He helped me lease a condo multiple times now with ease and I would go back to him again. - Spencer bridle
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Spencer! It is always a pleasure working with you and assisting you with your Real Estate needs.
I used JJ as a rental agent when I was first looking to move to Toronto. He was amazing to work with throughout the entire process, and helped us understand the market in a comprehensive way. We were successful with finding a rental property through JJ and I would recommend him to anyone looking to rent or buy in the GTA. Great service, efficient, and honest! - Lindsay C
Reply: Thank you for the wonderful review Lindsay!
Working with JJ was an absolute pleasure every step of the way. He always had time for us, regardless of time of day, and made the buying process fun and accessible. We really felt like a team. At one point during the process I remarked, "No place is perfect." JJ was having none of that. He insisted that there was a perfect home for us, and that we would find it, and get it. He was right. We put together an informed and responsive offer strategy and got a place that was exactly right for us--and in fact better than we had any reason to hope for when we started the process. JJ is always forthright in his guidance, so we always felt we were in safe hands. He would not have let us do anything that would be bad for us. Our search was extremely efficient. JJ had a very clear understanding of exactly what we were looking for, so we only saw properties that we were willing to offer on. Not only was the final outcome of our search an ideal scenario, but it only took six weeks from viewing our first property to closing on the home of our dreams (on which we did not overpay, even in a competitive market, thanks to a sound offer strategy). I would recommend JJ to anyone, and if we're in the market again in the future as either buyers or sellers (or both), there is no one else I would even consider working with besides JJ. - Michael L.
Reply: Thanks for this very thoughtful review Michael. Thank you for your trust in me to get the job done. I miss our nightly chats and look forward to catching up in person when it's safe to do so.
JJ helped us buy a new house and sell my partner's condo. As a first time home buyer I wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else. JJ worked hard to make sure we were buying the best possible place for us. We looked at a lot of houses, and with each prospective home he was always thorough, patient and honest. - Brian Seth Kates
Reply: Thanks for the review and kind words Brian. It was an absolute pleasure working with you both!
J.J was committed to helping us sell our property. He kept us updated about interest in our home and made every effort to showcase it. The Monster Mash on Halloween night was the best! We do not currently live in Leaside and J.J. made it possible for us to sell our property from a distance. He made the whole experience very positive and in the end we sold over the asking price. Thank you for your incredible dedication to our sale! - Kathryn Naulls
Reply: Thank you for the review Kathy! I know the stress of selling a home, and can only imagine the stress selling from out of town. Your full trust in me was a big part of a very successful sale. I’m glad you enjoyed the Monster Mash video tour open house! It was a lot of fun to make :)
If you want a real-estate agent that looks out for your best interests even when you're not, JJ is your guy. He's careful with your purchase, and makes sure you are buying the best possible place for you and your family. He's smart and knowledgeable, friendly and honest. I wish we could buy a house every year just so we could work with JJ! - Nisha Chopra
Reply: Thank you so much for the very kind words Nisha. I absolutely loved working with you and am happy to have made some new friends in the process. It’s hard to meet new friends during a pandemic ;) but I am so grateful to have worked with you. I am looking forward to catching up on missed lunch dates and testing out some more of your delicious soups ;)
Professional and committed, positive and honest, knowledgeable and strategic, JJ is an exceptional realtor. He made the process easy for me and my family when we sold our Toronto home. From the initial meeting to the staging and showing, JJ was always understanding and there for us with great advice, kindness, and support. We were wowed by his over-and-above service, marketing savvy, and personable approach. From my experience, I know having a great real estate agent like JJ is a huge advantage, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in this market. - Robert MacLean
JJ was such a pleasure to work with - an absolute sweetheart. He not only found us our dream house at an incredible price, but coordinated a stunning staging job and sold our old house during a pandemic. for above asking! He did this all with patience, grace and a killer sense of humor. He even fed our sons turtle while we were out of the house during visits. I would recommend JJ 100% to my closest friends, family and anyone looking to buy/sell with a great partner in this crazy process. - Julia Corcoran
Reply: Thank you for the incredible review and recommendation Julia! It was a crazy time in the world to be listing a property, but we had a plan, stayed patient and executed that plan came out with a very successful sale. Your new home is so special, unique and to get a property under asking in this crazy market was fantastic. I miss visiting Blastie for his feedings :) Thank you for your trust in me, it was an absolute pleasure working with you and your wonderful family.
JJ managed the sale of our home and the purchase of the new home during COVID with excellent attention to detail. He made us feel safe and excited about moving during these uncertain times. He negotiated a great deal for us and used his network and relationships to sell our house over asking. He was always available to answer any question and to discuss strategy. He was awesome to work with on both buying and selling sides. - Jonathan Wolf
JJs hands on approach was exceptional. He made the process of selling our condo in 2018 and our house in 2020 enjoyable and exciting, both times getting deals over asking and beyond our expectations. He was an integral part of the research and purchase of our new forever home! He took many drives, was always available and worked with us to get the home that was perfect for our young family. We couldn’t recommend JJ more highly. You will not be disappointed. - Andrea Carlaw
I would highly recommend using Jj as a real estate agent. He was very knowledgeable about the neighbourhood we were considering and very accommodating to our schedule and needs. The only reason we are now living in our dream home was because he was able to negotiate is an amazing deal. - Maria Wulff
J.J. went above and beyond to sell our place, including looking after it when we were away (which was no small task, as we had a turtle that needed almost daily feeding!). He was also great at pre-screening potential buyers, and being efficient with our time. In the end, we got more than we had hoped for and were left with a great experience. Will use again! - Chris S
It was a pleasure doing business with J.J. Not only is he a consummate professional, he is also a fine, upstanding person. J.J. possesses an extensive knowledge of the real estate market and a positive and upbeat attitude regarding the ins and outs of that oftentimes daunting realm. He is able to anticipate and support his clients’ needs – provides reassurance when needed and welcome advice throughout the entire process. His dedication and commitment both to his job and to his clients are commendable. There was no task too big or too small that J.J. wouldn’t tackle and he was always available to answer my questions & concerns.My house sold at an incredible price thanks to J.J.’s hard work and skill. I highly recommend J.J. as a real estate agent who not only succeeds at accomplishing his & your goals, but does so in a confident, engaging manner. - Elisabeth Stewart
Buying our first home was a scary proposition for my wife and I. From day one, JJ put us both at ease with his communication style, knowledge of the business and the tools and resources he brought to the table. He was able to really dial in on what our needs were, asking the right questions and actively listening to what was important to us. He was able to work within our budget to lay out different options and always took the time to show us any properties of interest, often at a moments notice. He ultimately was able to find us our dream home and while we thought it would be priced out of our budget, he was able to use very tactful negotiating skills to get us a house UNDER ASKING, which is unheard of in this market!! We couldn’t be happier with how JJ navigated this process for us, taking it from something we thought would be stressful and nerve racking, to one that was relaxed, fun and enjoyable, culminating in us finding a home that we could never have imagined being able to attain. I would highly recommend using JJ to help anyone looking for a professional, hard working and trustworthy agent to guide them through the home buying process! Thanks JJ!! - Paul McIntyre
JJ was absolutely incredible every step of the way for my girlfriend and I in finding us the right condo to rent in Toronto (Leslieville). He was recommended to us by a family member in looking for our first condo together – and although it took us a while to find something that came together as first time renters, he remained committed, encouraging, and consistently provided us with helpful information in improving our application, eventually finding a place we loved, at a good value. When our landlord sold our unit and we were given notice, he was extremely attentive and forthcoming in ensuring our rights and overall well-being were being protected, and guided us through a smooth and prompt search, leading us to a new home that we are even happier with. Through both very distinctive situations, JJ was extremely professional, responsive, and knowledgeable in navigating all aspects of the renting process. We couldn’t have possibly expected to be in better hands, and look forward to working with him the future – we 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a place in the city! - Andrew M
JJ was great, he was able to adapt and find a property that suited my needs and my budget. He was a pleasure to work with and always responsive. I have and would recommend him again to any friends looking to buy or rent a place in Toronto. - Chris
JJ helped me buy my first condo in downtown Toronto, and I would definitely recommend his services. He knows the market very well and was super accommodating and helpful in managing everything. He also made the entire process run smoothly, from thoughtfully screening units to setting up showings to managing final bids, and in the end helped me end up with a great result. I would definitely go back to JJ for any other real estate needs. - Andrew McIntyre
JJ was great to work with for finding my first condo. He was very helpful throughout the process and provided a lot of good advice especially his knowledge of the condo market and the value of the units. Also his knowledge of the area was super helpful and provided good information about the neighbourhoods we looked at. Even though it took a while to find the right place for me he stayed positive and committed to helping me find what I really wanted without having to settle. I would definitely use JJ as my agent again and would highly recommend him to others. - Tim Wharton
JJ and David listed my home and were amazing throughout the entire process. They were professional, available and supportive and because of their knowledge and skills I received and accepted an offer over asking! I would highly recommend them to assist you in buying or selling your property. - Judith McCarthy
Bought my first home in the neighbourhood I wanted with J.J.'s help. He was helpful and attentive throughout the whole process. I'm always able to reach him and schedule visits. He was resourceful and gave assurance throughout the whole buying journey. Great service, would recommend! - Maggie
JJ was so incredibly on top of managing my purchase. He was always looking out for my best interests and making sure that I found a neighbourhood that worked for me and a property that was a smart financial investment considering the purchase price and market trends. I felt like I was in phenomenal hands with him and look forward to working with him throughout my life. I felt like I found an agent who cares and was incredibly market savvy; one I grew to consider my partner in the deal. I can't recommend him enough! - Patrick S.
We were new to Canada and looking to buy a property. David and JJ helped us buy our dream house. JJ is very professional and at the same time do not rush you to make a selection. We got an aopportunity to view a lot of properties and take our time to finalize the one we were in love with. There were a couple of hiccups with our lease termination and the existing landlord and JJ helped us settle all that extremely smoothly although it wasn’t really his issue to worry about. I would highly recommend this real estate agency and specifically JJ Manson to all buyers/ sellers. - Neha sahay
JJ was extremely knowledgable, responsive, patient and proactive in helping me find a rental condo in Toronto. I would highly recommend JJ to anyone looking for a real estate agent! - Madeline St. Onge
