We were lucky that Siu and her team just happened to knock on our door when we were thinking about moving. Siu has been a great real estate partner over the years. She is honest and trustworthy in her approach and recommendations, which are qualities you want in an agent. She takes the time to get to know you and your preferences to ensure she is always being efficient with your time. She has helped us source several properties over the years and we are so happy with our purchases. She helped us with all the steps required, from buying our long-term home, to selling and staging, even finding great tenants for our investment property. - Jolane Folts

Siu Ta is extremely passionate about Real Estate and she absolutely loves her job. As clients of hers, she worked tirelessly (literally around the clock) to help us find the house we were looking for. She is genuine and will go out of her way to ensure her clients are happy and satisfied. We were more than satisfied because Siu helped us find the house of our dreams! She prepared us so well for the negotiation process and we were so excited to get our dream home at a price that was just right for us. - Hiromi Okuyama

Siu is a friendly, knowledgeable, and relentless Realtor. Honestly, a rare find in a sea of Agents vying for business. My wife first met her while she was showing a rental in Leslieville, my wife came home that day and said she had found our Real Estate Agent for when we were ready to purchase our family home! A few years later, that's exactly what happened. Her gravitas was immediately felt. Sui works tirelessly, with compassion and understanding for your situation. Never once did I feel like she did not have our best interests at heart, and in the sellers market of 2019, she had many opportunities to prove that. We were able to purchase our first family home with her help, and we couldn't be happier. To this day, Siu keeps in regular contact with us, she STILL has our best interests always in mind! We will definitely be repeat clients of hers in the future, I cannot recommended her services more. - Kenny Su

We had sold before and Siu helped us along every step of the way guiding us from the seed of an idea all of the way through to a sell that was 600k over asking. - Jenny Young

After a couple of years living down town with my husband, we decided to rent out our place (condo) and buy a house. We are very grateful for the help Siu provided. Not only did she find our house in a over heated market, she also found a renter for our condo, connected us to with the condo stager, mortgage broker, lawyer and mover. A true soup to nuts service. We highly recommend Siu. - S T

Being first time buyers, Siu guided us through buying our first condo. She was helpful, thorough and most importantly: concise and to the point when it came to offers. Siu had our best interests in mind which is extremely valuable in negotiating the real estate market. She helped us find our place within our parameters and within our budget even throughout some bidding wars. When it’s time to move along to something bigger, she’ll be our first call. - Chris

I first met Siu at an open house. When I finally made the decision to purchase a home, her friendly face immediately popped into my head. I called her and she sprang to action right away. She was easily contactable and quickly made bookings. If I couldn't attend she offered to go on my behalf and video record them. My relatives who could not make the viewings in person felt like they were on location, as she facilitated our WhatsApp tours and gave honest and in depth advice on every viewing. She even suggested not to proceed with a purchase because my heart wasn't in it. Eventually I found a place I loved. It was out of my price range and I really thought there was no hope. Siu negotiated and I was able to beat the competition while still getting it for an amazingly lower price. She gave advice on all steps of the process and even brought her colleague to help me decide how to arrange my place. I don't think I would have found the right place without Siu. She is absolutely a gem and I 100% percent recommend her. - A Bailey

I was introduced to Siu shortly after landing in Toronto at a time when schools and offices were reopening. The property market was extremely competitive and I didn't have hopes of finding a suitable accommodation since I was new to Canada, not meeting some of the general minimum requirements for rental. Siu helped reassure me and presented the state of the market in a transparent and understandable way. She was very kind, professional and meticulous and continuously updated me on the various listings while sharing some the stories of various areas in Toronto. Sometimes I felt like I had a guardian angel just from the questions she would ask during viewings. She even went out of her way to bring be medical supplies when I was not well. She also gave me a guided tour of downtown which I really appreciated. I would have probably been lost and homeless without Siu's help. As a newcomer, I needed to focus on finding a job and for that I needed the peace of mind that comes with having a place to stay. Siu helped me tremendously in achieving that. Thanks Siu - Sarki Halif

The sudden death of a good friend in early 2020 was what necessitated the sale of the house that we had co-owned since 1999. I was struggling with grief as well as my own physical and mental health issues – these in addition to the daily stress that the Covid-19 pandemic caused. The thought of having to clean out, prepare and sell the house was overwhelming – until I decided to have Siu Ta act as my real estate agent. I met Siu many years prior, when she approached me as I was feeding a group of homeless cats on my driveway: she was genuinely interested in, and supportive of, my small contribution to cat rescue, and she made such a strong, positive impression on me then that many years later I chose her to guide me through the process of selling, Looking back, I’m certain that was one of the best choices I’ve ever made: Siu’s confidence, constant communication and calm determination – not to mention her phenomenal organizational abilities – allowed me to relax and even enjoy the process as she oversaw and explained every detail of preparing, staging, listing, selling and closing. Also, the trades people that Siu works with are as friendly, transparent and efficient as Siu herself, so that once the individual elements were in place and the process started, it progressed quickly and seamlessly, without interruption or stress. The result: a home that sold in less than a week for well over asking, and a very grateful – and much more relaxed – seller. Looking back, I can’t imagine a real estate agent who could have possibly been better for me than Siu; and I can’t imagine a person who is facing selling their home who could possibly have a smoother, and ultimately more successful, experience than I had with her. - John Young

Siu is the only reason we managed to buy a house in the frantic Toronto housing market. When we were introduced to Siu I had zero expectation of actually managing to buy a house, considering the effort required and fast pace of the market. Siu took us to see countless houses, she even showed us some on zoom when we couldn't attend in person due to work schedules. She advised us every step of the way and gave us honest, no nonsense truths to help us with our expectations. We're new to the country and she helped us with everything including a good mortage broker, a reliable lawyer and even found us contractors to do work once the house closed. With her help we closed on a lovely home - drama free. She was 100% on our side on offer night. If it weren't for Siu I would just be renewing my condo lease. She made the impossible possible. Siu was referred to us by a family friend and now Siu is our family friend too! Thanks Siu - Stratis Kouvdis

Siu was amazing. This was a complicated sale. She organized staging, cleaning and organizing , plus some minor repairs. She made our family be able to relax, eased us right through all the regular sale difficulties. I would not hesitate to use her services again. - Kaleb Montgomery

My wife and I had a tight timeline to find a place because we have a baby on the way. We reached out to Siu because we saw and liked one of her past sold listings. Fortunately, Siu turned out to be the right agent to help us to navigate the challenging market. As first-time home buyers, we didn't realise that finding something within our budget and prefered neighbourhood would be so challenging due to the market conditions (low inventory, high demand). Siu worked with us to narrow in on lisitings that met our requirements, booked countless showings, submitted multiple offers and went above and beyond to help us find our first home. We are grateful that Siu helped us through every step of the process and even referred us to her contacts in allied professions when the need arose. She referred us to a mortgage broker, home inspector, lawyer and several contractors. Whenever we had questions, she was always responsive and ready to answer. We always felt confident that we could count on her to negotiate the best deal for us and that she would support us through closing and beyond. Thanks to all her efforts, we're looking forward to moving our growing family into our new home. - Allen Ryder

Siu was fantastic to work with throughout the buying process and continued to help us settle in after closing. Her expert guidance was extremely reassuring when making big decisions. I highly recommend her. - Jason L

Siu is a wonderful agent. She is professional and knowledgable. She helped us both sell and buy our new house and we would highly recommend her. She knows the market well and understands the emotional decision it takes to buy and sell a house. She is responsive and provides very sound advice to help you make the best decision based on your needs. - Leisa Odlum

I highly recommend Siu. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor when we were purchasing our new home, which we are delighted with. It was our first time buying a property and Siu was able to tell us everything that we needed to know about the whole process. She knows the East York neighbourhood extensively and was able to help us identify the exact type of home that we were looking for. Siu was always readily available for viewings and to answer any questions that we had. We never felt under any pressure during any stage of the process and Siu helped to make everything stress free. Her knowledge of the housing market proved very helpful and I honestly don't believe that we would have gotten the house we did if it weren't for her. People told me that purchasing a new home is one of life's most stressful experiences but thanks to Siu I completely disagree, we enjoyed every step of the adventure. - Kevin Lyons

We loved working with Siu to sell our Toronto home. She truly understands what an emotional experience selling a house can be. We never felt rushed or pressured in any way and had total faith that every move she made was always in our best interest. Not only that but she was easy to reach, responsive to any and all questions and extremely knowledgeable about the market. To top it all off, her creative approach to creating a video to sell our home helped to generated 10 extremely competitive offers and got us well over asking price. - Anna Humphrey

We sold our house for over asking.  And I’m convinced we would not have done this well if not for Siu Ta. Our house is quite unique.  It's semi-detached, and a duplex.  I have the upstairs half, and members of my family have the main floor and finished basement.  For us it was perfect, each our own private place, yet family just a stairway away. After 12 years it was time to sell.   For those who have experienced buying and/or selling you know it comes with varying degrees of anxiety and stress. Siu Ta was able to calm those waters right away and set us on a path to doing what was necessary in the lead up to listing our house including minor touch ups, and a little painting. A few things that really impressed me was Siu’s go-to stager and her marketing and promotion of our listing. Staging was brilliant.  It was a full team of specialists who brought in some added furniture, accessories, wall hangings etc.  All was done safely and within the pre-booked dates and times.   Siu’s marketing and promotion was excellent as well.  She produced a video detailing our house, and the neighbourhood including parks, amenities, transit and more.   And as someone who has 20+ years experience in video production, I can confidently say Siu’s videos were well produced and very informative.  Well done Siu! I highly recommend Siu Ta as your realtor.  She is professional, hard working, kind, honest, and determined to exceed your expectations in representing you and your housing goals - Bryan Bolan

Siu was amazing! Not only was she there for me step by step, but she did it with such care and expertise. I couldn't have asked for anything more from Siu. She helped me purchase two homes and sell one and each time it went better than I expected. - Zach Zohr

At the start of my search for a realtor, I came to realize that I would require a team of professionals to help me, and my biggest initial concern was how best to find and assemble that team. There were only a few names that I had heard about through the years, and one in particular, Siu Ta. Siu was in contact with my lawyer and facilitated the marketing and sale of the property within the strictures of the probate process. Her knowledge about the probate process, combined with her knowledge of the regional real estate market, enabled her to procure an offer on the property that was well above asking. On the night of the offer, I could only think that my late brother would have been satisfied with the offer. My experience of working with Siu was very educational. She took the time to go over concepts and ideas, to explain market forces and regional variabilities, as well as what is possible in terms of the constraints of awaiting probate. She worked hard and tirelessly and was always available for questions and concerns, despite my being in Vancouver. She worked well with my friends in Toronto, who acted on my behalf while I was in Vancouver. When my friend first recommended Siu to me, she said that Siu would work hard to help me. What I initially sought in a realtor was experience: someone who is a career realtor. In Siu, I found an experienced and established realtor, who has earned a solid reputation among her peers - something I discovered as I witnessed her interacting with other realtors. I appreciated her hardworking ethic, her respectful approach to her peers and other professionals, her enthusiasm for her career and her straightforward and direct approach. Do not count on her to “sugar-coat” what needs to be done. Do not count on her to do the “easy” thing, even though it may feel “easier” for her client, if it is not the best approach. Do count on her to tell it like it is. Do count on her to tell you to do the hard thing when the hard thing needs to be done. In short, I would recommend Siu to my friends and family for any real estate service. If not for her, these past few months of serving as the executor of my late brother’s estate would have been unbearable. I am still standing because of her! - R Chow

Buying a home, selling a home, renting a home. My experiences with Siu Ta have been varied and each one a wonderful experience. Honest, reliable, insightful, organized, caring, a calming personality and professional. Siu Ta is a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to working with her in the future. - Kristina Partsis

Siu and I met through a mutual friend and she nurtured our relationship for years before we were ready to sell our Toronto home. She'd drop by over the holidays and was happy to provide her advice on renovations, timing, and marketability of our home in the years before we listed with her. Her commitment to us has been remarkable and it's obvious that building trusting relationships are a strength for Siu. When we listed, Siu held our hand through the entire process. We loved her expertise and the additional resources she brought in for prepping and staging our home. She made an awesome video to market the house and the photos on the listing looked great. The entire property looked great! It was a hot market and Siu handled all the showings, open houses, and coordinating logistics with ease. It was offer night where she really shone. Siu facilitated over a dozen offers professionally and provided strategic advice with each one. We ended up with an offer that far exceeded our expectations! Siu continued to support us through the close and keeps in touch with our family, even though we moved out of the city. We've recommended her to many friends and family members. Two have sold with Siu in the last few years and are just as happy! Thank you, Siu! - Beth Yarzab

I have known Siu for more than ten years. In fact, I knew Siu before she decided to change careers and become a professional realtor. When it was time for us to find our forever home, I did not hesitate to ask Siu to be our realtor. In everything that Siu does, she is passionate, committed, well-informed and honest. Knowing this gave me a great sense of trust that for the biggest purchase of our lives we were in great hands and Siu knocked the ball out of the park. For the purposes of context, we were looking to upgrade from our starter (i.e. smaller) home to a bigger home in the same neighbourhood we had grown to love and did not want to leave. The snag is that our neighbourhood is in very high demand and the competition is fierce for home-buying. Siu’s perseverance from door-knocking potential matches to keeping her ear close to the ground to hear of private sales led to us purchasing our dream house within 6 months of approaching her. I have absolutely no doubt that this never would have manifested if we had used another realtor. It was purely Siu’s grit and commitment that made this possible. We are so grateful to Siu for enabling us to continue living in the neighbourhood we are so fond of and have a house we absolutely love. We feel like we won the lottery! - Lara

Siu sets the gold benchmark for real estate services. We’ve worked with many capable, savvy and hard-working agents over the past decades, and we say definitively that Siu Ta is, by far, the best real estate agent that we’ve ever worked with. During the many months that we looked for a house in the Toronto area, we would often say to each other after a telephone call or a meeting with Siu, “Wow. She’s good.” Siu is knowledgeable, smart, tireless and – most of all – keeps your best interest at heart. We truly felt that she had our backs and helped us in numerous ways -- big and small ways -- to find the ideal house with the best fit for us. Her advice is uniformly spot on. At times, her advice seems counter to her own interests. Over and over, she would remind us of what aspects of real estate keep in value, and she would dig for contextual information from a myriad of sources that helped us make good decisions about whether to pursue a listing or not. Siu’s appealing nature and easy rapport with people ensure that working with her is enjoyable. These qualities also make her extraordinarily successful in working with others who are directly or tangentially involved in a potential real estate sale or purchase. With Siu’s representation, we felt that we were in the best hands from the very beginning of the process to the end purchase, and even post purchase. Would we highly recommend Siu’s services and use her services again? A resounding and definitive YES! - Ben Tseng

It was a true pleasure working with Siu Ta as our realtor for the sale of our Toronto home. The sale went so smoothly and quickly (in the middle of a pandemic!). Siu is very personable and enjoyable to work with, and truly has your best interest at heart and always ensures questions are answered promptly. In addition, her realtor services included working with dedicated home stagers, trades people, professional photographer & videographer so our home showed its best. She used the latest visual technologies available which made the overall experience A+. I would be delighted to recommend Siu Ta to anyone who is looking for an expert to sell their home in Toronto. - Winnie Standish

We met Siu Ta when we were renting and trying to find our first home. She came through for us with all our boxes checked off. When we decided to sell only 5 years later. Siu Ta was the only name we trusted and would hear and follow our dreams to reality. Things happened at a breakneck speed and Siu was confirming and helping us make it all work. We had only 2 weeks to a vacation and 2 kids to boot. Everything had to work or nothing would have work at all. Our staging was out of this world Siu Ta was the reason it did work, we would have been lost without her direction. I can tell you that she is not only very attentive, available, and ahead of the curve, but also everyone that she encountered were asking us “Where did you find her? Because she is amazing!” We are in a quiet Family friendly neighborhood with lots of parks and green space to explore. We got an amazing deal on a 3 bed townhome. Our kids have the bedroom of their dreams and we have the home of ours. We are still pinching ourselves that we eventually made it here during this crazy times. Thanks Siu Ta you’re the best! If you want a trouble and worry free experience then just contact Siu Ta and discover for yourself how this game is to be played. My agent was very professional, worked very hard, smart and just overall fantastic. I recommend highly. - Dale Haldorson

Siu is an amazing real estate agent! She is articulate, honest and dedicated. To say she goes above and beyond is stating it mildly. She offers sound advice, checks in and keeps you fully in the know. She has so much to contribute to your journey of buying or selling a home. I cannot recommend her highly enough! - Jenny Lewis

Siu was terrific to work with for the whole process of selling my condo. My parents met Siu a couple of years ago when they were viewing a unit for sale, and they have kept in touch ever since. When it came time for me to sell my condo, I reached out to a couple of agents, and Siu was my obvious first and only choice. She was professional, responsive and had a thorough knowledge of the current market. She was able to sell my property in the most challenging market situation, negotiating a price that was above market expectation. Her presentation and staging were world-class, and I would work with Siu again in a heartbeat. She went above and beyond, and I had full confidence in her capabilities throughout the whole process. I have recommended Siu to several friends, and we still keep in touch to this day. - Mirna Danilovic
