Here is my story - During the COVID years, when interest rates were at historic lows, for various reasons, I didn’t feel ready to jump in, bid aggressively, and pay the hefty prices between 2021 and 2022. Thankfully, I never experienced FOMO during that time. Then came 2022, and the market took a turn. The Bank of Canada began raising interest rates, home prices started to decline, and suddenly, realtors were facing blame—some of it justified, as there were bad apples in the industry. As an immigrant unfamiliar with the Canadian real estate landscape, I felt uncertain and even anxious about finding the right realtor and mortgage agent after reading many concerning stories. I took my time, doing extensive research—not just on cities but on specific communities that aligned with my needs. The biggest challenge, however, was finding a good realtor. While I could have easily asked friends for referrals, I chose a different approach. I followed real estate news, podcasts, and some of the brightest minds on social media to gain a deeper understanding. Through this process, I came across several knowledgeable and experienced realtors, but I was looking for something beyond that—honesty, reliability, and sincerity. That’s when I found Michelle, and she checked all the boxes. From the very start, she never pressured me into signing any binding agreements—a rare but refreshing approach that made me feel comfortable. She provided valuable insights into different communities, helping me refine my search, and guided me through pricing and market trends with solid data, never pushing me toward reckless bidding wars. Long story short, we won the bid and soon going to be proud homeowners of a beautiful house in Pickering! This journey could have been overwhelming, but Michelle made it smooth and manageable. If you’re looking to buy a home in and around the GTA, I highly recommend Michelle Makos. You don’t need to spend time worrying about finding the right realtor—I’ve already done that work for you. Just go with her, and you’ll be in great hands! - Kiran Kumar Annappa

We have lived at our house for 35 years and feel that now is the time to sell, for the last 3 years Michelle has been sending me information on the state of the real estate situation in Pickering, and I have been ever so impressed with her business acumen. From the moment we met Michelle we were so impressed with her presentation as to how we should sell our house, she explained everything in a language we understood and made the whole process so easy. When the house was listed she continually kept us in touch on an hourly basis, and when the offers came in she was on top of the situation and kept us informed. Our house sold in 10 hours and for $200,000 over asking. I would fully recommend Michelle for her enthusiasm to work for you, to get your house sold. - Ron Percival
