Shen Walji

I had an excellent experience working with Shen and would highly recommend him. He helped me find the perfect downtown Toronto condo that matched exactly what I needed, especially being close to the University of Toronto and the places I spend most of my time.   What impressed me most was Shen’s knowledge of downtown Toronto. He understood how important it was for me to be near campus, research and hospital areas, while still having easy access to neighbourhoods like Kensington Market, Yorkville, Bay Street, Yonge and Bloor, and the Eaton Centre area. He did not just focus on the condo itself. He helped me understand how each building, block, and location would fit my daily life.   Shen’s experience with condos really showed. As both a condo investor himself and someone who helps clients buy and sell condos, he brought a very practical and strategic perspective. He was diligent, detailed, communicative, and moved very quickly when timing mattered.   He arranged a viewing for me on Canada Day, we submitted the offer that same day, and it was accepted the next day. He understood my timeline and immediately jumped into action.   I loved working with Shen and truly appreciated how hard he worked to help me find the right place. - Lydia Huang

As first-time home buyers, we worked with Shen through both Zoom and in-person consultations. He was patient, and helped us evaluate the pros and cons of the listings we considered by providing comparisons and feedback. In a competitive market, he helped us develop a pre-emptive offer strategy that ultimately led to the purchase of a semi-detached home in the Bloor West Village/High Park/Junction area. - Michael

We turned to Shen after interviewing a few agents, and he stood out immediately for his straightforwardness, candour, calm demeanour, and deep knowledge of the buying process in Toronto, especially as first-time buyers. He worked with us over the course of several months as we searched for a detached home in the city, exploring neighbourhoods like Trinity Bellwoods, Queen West, South Riverdale, Little Italy, Little Portugal, Palmerston, Seaton Village, the Junction, Parkdale, Roncesvalles, and downtown Toronto. Throughout that time, he remained patient, never rushed us, and never made us feel pressured to submit an offer before we were ready. Shen was always accommodating with our schedules, meeting us for showings when it worked for us, and was consistently quick to return our calls and texts. When the time came, he negotiated strongly on our behalf and made sure we were well positioned. What truly set Shen apart was how he handled a complex and high-pressure situation toward the end of the process. He stayed calm, strategic, and focused, always thinking a few steps ahead while protecting our interests. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, responsive, and highly capable in navigating the Toronto market, we would absolutely recommend Shen. - Gabrielle Leighton

We had a great experience working with Shen while searching in the Newtonbrook, Willowdale, Bayview Village, and North York areas. From the start, we knew exactly which home we wanted. He stepped in right when we needed him and helped us navigate everything with confidence, making sure we were in the best possible position to secure it. What really stood out was his strategy. He analyzed how similar homes in the area were selling and acted decisively at the right time. When we made our move, he worked quickly and intentionally—connecting with the listing agent even late at night to build rapport and strengthen our offer. That made all the difference. He’s also very well-connected. Through him, we found a great lawyer and home inspector, which made the process seamless. On top of that, he’s personable, easy to work with, and made the experience genuinely enjoyable. We’re so happy with our home and hope we won’t need to move anytime soon—but if we do, we’d work with him again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend him! - Kristen S

Working with Shen was a pleasure. I don’t quite remember how I found him online, but I definitely hit the jackpot. I was looking for something in the Yorkville, Annex, Casa Loma, Summerhill, Forest Hill, Bay Street and Downtown Toronto. After several discussions with him, he narrowed my search to a 2 Bedroom / 2 Bath Unit with Parking and a Locker. (Got to have somewhere to put my Hockey Gear!) Shen knew the building well that I zeroed in on. He managed the Closing of the Deal being organized and professional. He recommended the right Lawyer to generate all the necessary paperwork for me to fill out and sign. I was a ‘special’ situation. I am a Canadian Citizen purchasing a Condo from Los Angeles. (Site Unseen) Prior to closing, Shen Facetimed me to walk/do a final inspection of the Unit, checking all the Faucets for leaks and wouldn’t you know it - he found one and had it taken care prior to closing! On closing, everything went smooth with no glitches. I will definitely go to Shen for any more Real Estate Searches and/or Selling and I highly recommend him for any of your Real Estate Needs. He always responded super quickly to my Emails, Texts and always answered my direct calls. Finding my new Toronto home took me almost 2 years, and not once did Shen complain! He always had the same upbeat energy and enthusiasm. Over that time, we got to know each other personally, and I can see Shen as a friend of mine, when I move back to the City… - Neil Kaplanis

As a first-time homebuyer, navigating Toronto’s competitive market felt overwhelming at times. Shen was an incredible resource throughout the process, especially when it came to navigating multiple-offer situations and preparing for offer presentation dates in highly sought-after neighbourhoods like Leaside and Leslieville. What I really appreciated was how consultative and patient Shen was. He took the time to really understand what I was looking for and approached every step with a high level of thoroughness and attention to detail. Most importantly, Shen’s extremely strategic. In a market where timing, positioning, and preparation matter so much, he was always thinking several steps ahead and helping me make thoughtful, informed decisions. Buying my first home was a huge milestone, and I’m very grateful to have had Shen in my corner. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, strategic, and dedicated real estate agent. - Breanne

I live out of town and was selling a condo in Toronto, so needed a full service agent who could arrange, clear out, cleaning and redecorating etc. Shen did a fine job assisting with this in record time - all done in one week. We conferred on asking price and were in close agreement. In the first few days of listing, we had numerous visits; after 4 days, we had 3 offers. Shen very effectively negotiated with the high bidder, and we ended up with an offer over asking with no conditions and a quick close. In the current condo market, this was an outstanding result. - julian c binks

From our very first conversation, it was clear that Shen is exceptionally thoughtful, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely people-first in how he approaches real estate. He took the time to truly understand who we were, what we needed, and what mattered most to us. Throughout the entire process, he consistently brought us back to those original priorities, which was incredibly grounding during a time that can easily feel overwhelming. Shen is highly knowledgeable and a strong advocate at every step. Always prepared, responsive, and genuinely on it, he’s exactly the kind of person you want in your corner when buying a home. His integrity, commitment, and stamina throughout the process were unmatched. As buyers, we felt fully supported and confidently guided from start to finish. We genuinely can’t imagine working with anyone else, whether buying or selling. If you’re looking for a real estate agent in the Greater Toronto Area, East End, West End, or beyond, Shen is someone you absolutely want to work with. Shen stands out for the things that truly matter to Buyers: integrity, advocacy, and a genuine commitment to helping you find the right home. - Olivier Smith

Shen is one of the most honest and strategic real estate agents you can have in your corner, especially as a first-time homebuyer. He explains the entire process step by step and makes sure you understand every detail before moving forward. His real strength is strategy. Shen is highly data-driven and exceptional at reading listings, seller motivation, and even the listing agent’s position to craft the right offer. He scours the market for accurate comparables to ensure you’re not overpaying and that the deal actually makes sense. We viewed homes across multiple neighbourhoods, price points, and property types, and I never once felt rushed. He was always honest about layouts, size, renovation quality, upkeep, and long-term resale considerations. When it came to easements, surveys, or technical issues, he was always ahead of it, which shows real experience. Because Shen has also listed many homes, he understands buyer psychology and resale value, which adds another layer of protection when you’re making a purchase. He builds rapport quickly, works hard, and isn’t afraid of difficult conversations if it serves the client. He’s always available for Zoom calls, walks you through MLS listings by sharing his screen, and collaborates with you to dial in the best offer strategy. I would give Shen five stars without hesitation and recommend him to friends, family, and coworkers. If you want an agent who is strategic, honest, and truly works in your best interest, Shen delivers. - Dylan Weis

Working with Shen Walji was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He helped me downsize from my 2,600-square-foot detached home in East Credit, Mississauga to a beautiful penthouse apartment where I can enjoy a stress-free lifestyle with every amenity I could want. Shen guided me patiently through a very challenging real estate market, always keeping me informed and focused on the big picture. He followed up diligently after every showing and open house and never lost momentum in getting my property sold. His negotiation skills were sharp, and he fought hard to protect my best interests every step of the way. He also introduced me to an excellent Mississauga real estate lawyer and an incredible mover who even helped me pack my contents. Shen truly goes beyond expectations to make the transition seamless. Whether you’re buying or selling in East Credit, Erin Mills, Streetsville, or Churchill Meadows, Shen is a true professional who knows these Mississauga neighbourhoods inside and out. He also excels at helping first-time home buyers and newcomers to Canada navigate their real estate journey with confidence. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated, experienced, and trustworthy realtor. - Robert Bell

Working with Shen was a great experience from start to finish. His strong market knowledge and professional approach really helped reduce our stress as first-time homebuyers. From our first meeting, he took the time to understand our needs and answered all of our questions with patience. He spent many hours with us going through listings and visiting properties, often pointing out details that we would have missed as new buyers. His guidance was helpful at every step of the home-buying process. We would gladly recommend Shen to anyone looking to buy a home. - Nilanivetha Neelakandan

Shen just helped us purchase our first home in Toronto! The dream really is possible. He immediately knew what we were looking for, helped us narrow down our search criteria and set us up for success during open houses. When we fell in love with a house in the East End, Shen expertly helped us navigate the offer process, giving us up-to-the-minute information about where we stood and how to get the best outcome. Shen is thorough, detail-oriented and very experienced in the Toronto market. He makes first home purchases fool-proof, providing clear checklists of everything you need to do from search, to open house, to offer, to closing. We highly recommend working with Shen to help find your first (and possibly forever) home in the city! - Emma Findlay-White

We had an amazing experience shopping for our first home with Shen. He was really on our corner and rooting for us and supporting us every step of the way. He really understood our needs, lifestyle and price point and got us exactly what we had envisioned. He also was full of useful tips and advice which we appreciated. He was friendly, professional and an amazing negotiator and got us the best value. Super happy with our choice to work with Shen and his commitment to finding us a home. - Teni A

Shen helped my partner and I get in to a fantastic condo. We were first-time homebuyers moving back to Canada from the US, so Shen’s deep knowledge of Toronto’s neighborhoods really helped us pick a neighborhood and condo that was right for our lifestyle. Shen is also really friendly and just genuinely nice to talk to, which made the whole process feel easier and more comfortable. During the sale, Shen helped us through the offer and negotiation process and helped us understand what we should do and by what date. Shen also researched other sales in the building and area to help us make a smart offer. Because we were moving from outside of Canada, there were a few bumps we needed to figure out during closing, but Shen would always hop right away onto a call to help us figure out what to do. In the end Shen hooked us up with a great Midtown condo for $55k under the asking price. We really enjoyed working with Shen — he worked really hard for our deal and helped us get in to a home we’re really happy with. - Matt Smith

As first-time home buyers, my husband and I had a very specific vision for our home. We weren’t looking for anything cookie cutter; we wanted a house with real character, ideally historic, that was spacious enough to grow our family, host loved ones, and enjoy a garden. From the start, Shen Walji understood exactly what mattered to us. We were searching in both Toronto and St. Catharines, and Shen went above and beyond, making multiple trips out to St. Catharines to support our search. He truly took the time to get to know us on a personal level, which made all the difference when it came to deciding where to buy. In the end, we chose St. Catharines to be closer to family, and Shen guided us seamlessly through that decision. Throughout the entire process, Shen was incredibly responsive, transparent, and diligent. His deep knowledge of the market and years of experience really shone through, giving us complete confidence at every step. His professionalism and integrity were unwavering, while his fun personality and genuine honesty made the experience enjoyable. Even the selling agent complimented Shen’s professionalism and collaborative approach, which ultimately helped us secure the exact deal we wanted and ensured a smooth handoff. We are so grateful to have worked with Shen and would highly encourage anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and skilled realtor to do the same. - Justine Hamilton-Arvisais

We worked with Shen to purchase a condo for our son attending school in the Keele and Sheppard area of Toronto, near Downsview.   Shen patiently helped our family narrow down our options, from freehold townhomes and condo townhouses to ultimately finding the perfect spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium with a large terrace where our son can enjoy gardening.   Shen took the time to understand our needs at a family level, considering our son’s daily commute, budget, and ability to maintain the property, while also giving my husband and me a comfortable place to visit for family dinners and gatherings in the city.   His market knowledge of Keele and Sheppard real estate, combined with his practical advice, made the buying process smooth.   When an issue arose during the home inspection, Shen acted quickly, coordinating with our real estate lawyer, the listing agent, and the condo property management team to resolve it promptly. He even went above and beyond by trying to arrange an introduction to the property manager and guiding us through move-in logistics like booking the elevator and setting up utilities.   Shen is a personable, patient, and highly professional Toronto real estate agent who truly cares for his clients and community. His energy, communication, and experience made all the difference. We highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling in Toronto, especially in the Keele and Sheppard, Downsview, or North York areas. Shen was amazing to work with and he will be our real estate agent of choice for future purchases. - Sandra Hartman

Shen guided me for over a year until I was ready to sell my home in the Clairlea-Birchmount neighbourhood of Scarborough. His consistent check-ins kept me on track and prepared for the real estate market while I focused on my career. Shen’s deep knowledge of Scarborough and Greater Toronto Area real estate, combined with his hands-on marketing strategy, perfect timing, and extensive boots-on-the-ground experience, made all the difference. He helped me set a smart listing price, which led to my home selling in multiple offers for over $125K above asking on the very first day on the market. From pricing to navigating the complex legal process, Shen handled everything with professionalism, transparency, and clear communication. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in Scarborough, Clairlea-Birchmount, or anywhere in the GTA, I highly recommend Shen as a top real estate agent who truly puts his clients first. - Wendy Gaboury

His strategy was spot-on, and it was clear he wasn’t just trying to sell, he was working to get me the best possible result. Shen is an excellent communicator and kept me fully in the loop without ever overwhelming me. He was patient with my hectic schedule, always kind and compassionate, and made sure I understood the “why” behind every choice we made. I truly felt like he had my back every step of the way. It honestly felt more like working with a friend than just a realtor. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled, and trustworthy professional. - Paul Toews

As first time home buyers, we had a lot to learn. Shen was patient with us in explaining all the ins and outs of the real estate world. From first meeting, to explaining his process and ideas behind the market, to going through our asks and desires, he was there every step of the way, incredibly patient. It was easy to find time for viewings around our work schedule, whether that was early morning weekends or late evening weekdays. We’re very thrilled with our purchase and it was a relatively quick process. We would be grateful if Shen was able to represent us again in the future! - Simon Zemicael

Shen played a key role in selling our family home in Willowdale. He brought my siblings and me together, kept us focused, and helped prepare the home to shine on the market. Thanks to his marketing expertise and eye for presentation, our listing stood out and sold in just four days despite a challenging market. Shen’s greatest strength is his ability to generate buzz, drive showings, and negotiate offers. He’s hardworking, proactive, and always kept the communication flowing with a great sense of humour. - Adam Stephenson

I have just had a very rewarding experience in working with Shen! I chose him because he is a “go getter” and I needed someone I felt would advocate well for me in negotiations, and he did just that! He really pulled the rabbit out of the hat in getting me an excellent price on the purchase of my new condo! Shen was sensitive to my situation, very honest and respectfull.

Shen had all the tools and skills needed to make our sale happen in a challenging market, and did so with real compassion and understanding as we navigated the process. Shen is a person with total integrity, transparency, market knowledge, and professionalism. You’ll be in great hands.

Shen Walji is a friendly insightful, aproachable and helpful for us newbies selling our home. Provided all the information for us to price our home to successfully sell within 3 days of listing. - Cheryl and Glen McLeod

All the rudimentary requirements of a realtor necessary for a transactional relationship were present. The knowledge, the drive, the integrity etc. are all there, plus the bonus. We weren't just selling a house.We were parting with our 50 year long home, with all its memories. It takes a special person to guide you through that wormhole. I like to call it the Walji factor. I suspect few Real Estate agents have the Walji factor. My wife and I, we applaud the Walji factor. So what is this Walji factor? An interpersonal relationship skill set that can visualize the difference between a house and a home. This helped us ease the pain of parting with our home. Thank you Shen. Whether you are looking to buy or sell, seek out Shen. If that is not in the cards, at least look for the Walji factor. - Steve Szenasi

We can't recommend Shen and the team at Dan Cooper Group highly enough. They hussled to get our house on the market in the time frame we wanted and sold at a record price for our neighbourhood in less than 24 hours! An absolute pleasure to work with! - Lisa
