Home Purchase in Woburn, Toronto | Jul 2026

Working with Sohel was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping us find the right home. Throughout the entire process, he took the time to answer our questions, explain every step, and ensure we felt comfortable making informed decisions. His professionalism, attention to detail, and strong negotiation skills helped us successfully close on our new home. What stood out most was his dedication and willingness to go above and beyond to make the transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend Sohel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you're looking for a realtor who is honest, hardworking, and truly has his clients' best interests at heart, you won't be disappointed. - A Sufi

Reply:    Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me to guide your family through such an important milestone. It was truly a pleasure working with you throughout this journey. I know finding the right home wasn't about simply buying a house—it was about finding a place that would meet your family's needs today while also supporting your future growth and goals. Your patience, thoughtful approach, and willingness to wait for the right opportunity made all the difference. I'm especially grateful that we were able to secure a home that checked so many of the boxes on your wish list while also negotiating a tremendous value through strategic negotiations.

Home Purchase in West Hill, Toronto | Feb 2025

We had an excellent experience working with Sohel to purchase our home. We were searching during a very competitive seller’s market in early 2025, and his knowledge, patience, and dedication helped us find a home that fit both our needs and our budget. What stood out most was his availability. No matter the time of day, Sohel was always quick to answer our questions, provide guidance, and arrange viewings. Throughout the entire process, we never felt pressured or rushed into making a decision. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and made sure we felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise and commitment, we were able to secure an affordable home in a challenging market. We highly recommend Sohel to anyone looking for a realtor who is professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about finding the right home for his clients. - Faizal

Reply:    Thank you both so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It was truly a pleasure helping you find your home. I know how challenging the market was when you were searching, and I appreciate the trust you placed in me throughout the process. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions a family can make, and I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to be part of that journey with you. What I remember most is how thoughtful and patient you both were in evaluating each property. Rather than rushing into something that wasn't the right fit, we stayed focused on finding a home that met your needs and made financial sense for your family. Seeing that persistence pay off made the eventual purchase even more rewarding. Thank you for your confidence, trust, and partnership throughout the process. I’m thrilled that we were able to secure a home that you love, and I look forward to seeing all the wonderful memories you create there in the years ahead. Wishing you both happiness, success, and many great moments in your new home. Please know that I’m always here if you ever need anything. Thank you again for the opportunity to work with you and for your recommendation—it means a great deal to me.

We had an excellent experience with Sohel. We were quite detailed in what we were looking for in our new home and he made sure to live up to our expectations with the showings. Finding a home can be very stressful, but Sohel made it easy by being very proactive in finding new listings and booking showings immediately. At times, I would throw last minute ideas and he would try to accommodate immediately. He was also very honest and transparent about the homes and what to expect. I did not feel pressured by him to make any decisions which was equally important to me. I would highly recommend him to others as an agent and will definitely come back when we are ready to do our next move! - Malaika Qureshi

Reply:    Thank you so much Malaika. I really appreciate the trust you placed in me throughout your search. I’m glad the process felt manageable and that the approach—staying proactive, flexible, and transparent—helped make things easier. It was great working with you and Sham, and I’m happy we found a home that met your expectations. I look forward to helping you again when the time comes for your next move!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Sohel to find a new rental unit after living in our previous home for over 15 years—a big change for us. From start to finish, Sohel went above and beyond to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible. He took the time to truly understand our needs and preferences, and he patiently showed us many options until we found the perfect fit. His deep knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and calm, professional demeanor gave us a lot of confidence throughout the entire process. Sohel was always responsive, supportive, and proactive in handling every step of the lease negotiation and closing. We couldn't have asked for a better guide through this important transition. Highly recommended! - Farhana L.

I recently worked with Sohel on the purchase of my condo unit, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Although this was my second real estate transaction, it was my first time working with Sohel—and the difference was immediately noticeable. From the start, Sohel demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and took the time to thoroughly educate us on tax planning strategies and available incentives, which added real value to the process. He was incredibly patient, always available to answer our questions, and guided us through each step with clarity and professionalism. His deep knowledge of the market and proactive approach gave us confidence throughout the transaction. Sohel went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, and his dedication truly set him apart. I highly recommend Sohel to anyone looking for a Realtor who is not only skilled and knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his clients’ best interests. - II

Reply:    Thank you so much, II, for your kind words and trust—it truly means a lot. I'm thrilled to hear that your experience was smooth and valuable, especially with the added tax strategies and incentives we explored together. My goal is always to provide informed guidance and genuine support throughout every step of the process, and I’m glad that came through. Buying a home is a big decision, and it’s an honour to be part of that journey.

Condo Sale in Waterfront Communities-the Island, Toronto | Apr 2025

We had a great experience working with Sohel to sell our downtown condo. The market was slow, inventory was high, and similar units were sitting for weeks. Sohel came in with a solid strategy—he recommended key improvements, arranged professional staging, and priced the unit competitively. Thanks to his approach, we had strong interest right away, with multiple showings and offers. We received an offer early on, but Sohel advised us to wait. A week later, we sold for significantly more. His advice clearly paid off. A similar unit in our building sold for $50,000 less, which really showed the value Sohel brought to the process. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and always had our best interests in mind. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend Sohel to anyone looking to sell. Even in a tough market, he knows how to get results. - A.B.

Reply:    Thank you, A.B., for your kind words and trust throughout the process. I'm so glad we achieved a great result together. It was a pleasure working with you, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to help sell your condo. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter!

I found Sohel through a listing. We were looking to rent a condo unit for ourselves as a single family for the first time. Sohel was very helpful. He noted down our requirements and our budget, and found us the most appropriate units for us. He helped us in multiple viewings until we decided on one, helped in negotiating rent, checking everything factually, and helped us by walking through the lease agreement and answering any questions we had. We had an excellent experience with him. As an accountant myself, I connected with Sohel at a personal level as well, which made communication all the more easier. I 100% recommend Sohel for Real estate needs. - Inam Illahi

Reply:    Thank you, Inam! I truly appreciate your kind words and am glad we connected on both a professional and personal level. Your journey to Canada is inspiring, and your work ethic is motivating. It was a pleasure helping you and Mishaal find the right condo and making the process smooth and informed. I’m happy I could assist with everything from viewings to negotiating a lease that worked for you. Your recommendation means a lot!

Home Purchase in Greenway-Chaplin, Cambridge | Dec 2024

Sohel is extremely knowledgeable about real estate. We were new first time buyers but he gave us lots of insights that we never realized were crucial when deciding the home. He went above and beyond by giving us ideas for layouts and how to evaluate the purchase decision more clearly. Sohel organized our visits for us by preparing in advance all the houses to see in one day. He was a strong negotiator and guided us in the offer process which can be very stressful. I strongly recommend Sohel as an agent - Mohamed Sheikh

Reply:    Thank you, Mohamed! I truly appreciate your kind words and trust. It was a pleasure helping you through your first home purchase and ensuring it felt informed and manageable. I’m so glad the insights and strategy made a difference. Wishing you all the best in your new home!

Home Purchase in Dorset Park, Scarborough | Feb 2024

A friend of ours used Sohel to sell his property, and recommended we use him for the purchase of our own house. He was very organized with booking showings, scheduling them so there was ample time for each showing, and printing the listing sheets for each property so we could take notes. He gave us time to digest the showings, and then would sit with us and review each of the showings we went to so that we could objectively assess each property for its merits, and not be emotionally attached or mislead by the staging. I found this very helpful. We went to see over 25 houses, but he did not complain or push us to buy. He was patient with us and ensured we found exactly what we were looking for. There were multiple offers on the house we liked, but Sohel built a good relationship with the agent, and kept in constant communication with him on offer day. This definitely helped us get the home. He went above and beyond when he actually helped us with our move in! We will not forget our experience with Sohel, and I highly recommend him to others. - M. Patel

Reply:    Thank you, M. Patel! I’m so grateful for your trust and thoughtful feedback. It was a pleasure helping you find the right home, and I’m glad the process felt supportive and pressure-free. Going the extra mile is what I aim for—wishing you all the best in your new home!

Sohel was referred to us by a colleague who worked with him on various charitable initiatives. He was highly recommended for his professionalism, integrity, and honesty. When we interviewed him, we were impressed to see that he came prepared with a marketing plan, schedule of when each task would take place, who he would hire to do staging, photography, website, and advertising. We listed the property, and received competing offers within days for more than what we were expecting. We are very pleased with our experience with Sohel. - AB

Home Sale in Fletcher Creek South, Brampton | Jun 2022

Sohel helped list our home during a very tough market when rates were increasing and buyers were not very active. He outlined a market strategy that he felt confident would work. We were hesitant, but trusted his expertise. He staged the house very nicely, and we were very pleased with the final results. To our surprise, we had a very busy open house, more than 20 showings booked aside from the open house showings, and multiple offers. He presented and walked us through every offer in detail so we understood all the pros and cons to make an informed decision. We will definitely ask Sohel to represent us in the future, and recommend him to colleagues, friends and family. - FK

Property Purchase in Toronto, ON |

We went through this realtor to buy an assignment condo. After three weeks of back and forth with our lawyer’s office (because Sohel Ingar did not know how to complete forms correctly), we were at the signing stage of the agreement. We had taken funds out of our investments to pay for this purchase. At 1pm, 5 hours before the agreemen expired, SOHEL Ingar of Home Life Galaxy Realty backed out. He told us the sellers changed their minds. As it turns out, SOHEL and his brother Mohammed were the sellers! He wasted our time, gave us false hope and we incurred a $1,750 legal fee as well as lost investment income and losing out on two other condos we were also interested in. He turned out to be a liar and an untrustworthy agent. We believe he had sold this condo to another party for more money. The reason why we believe this is because even after we had the legal documents ready for signing, he still refused to remove his online ad. We strongly recommend NOT USING THIS AGENT. He is dishonest and greedy. We reported him to his office, Home Life Galaxy Realty as he wanted us to pay $1500 towards their ‘fee’ even though it was a private purchase! DO NOT TRUST! - Ling Lamb

Reply:    Hi Ling, I agree you did not have a good experience with this transaction. However, I do not feel your comments correctly reflect the whole picture or the service I provided in my role as a sales representative. You posted a wanted ad on Kijiji for a unit in the building in which my brother and I jointly held a unit. At the time of posting my ad, I noticed your ad and contacted you to see if you were interested in our unit. From the very start, I disclosed to you that I was a real estate sales representative, and I had a joint interest in the property. This was not a kept secret or hidden from you in any way. I asked you if you were working with another sales representative, you informed me that you were not. At this point, I told you that I could help draft the offer forms for you for a fee of $1,500. You agreed to accept my service. It is important to make note here that in the service agreement I sent to you, I made it clear that this $1,500 would only become payable once the seller accepts the offer. So even though I would spend my time to draft the offer for you, if the seller did not accept the offer, you would not have to pay me for my time and efforts. This is very fair in my opinion. Furthermore, when your offer was not accepted, me or my brokerage did not ask you to pay the fees even though I did prepare all forms necessary for the offer. You will also agree, that when we were determining a price, I offered you a much lower price than the price this unit could potentially sell for. This again, was done because you were not working with a real estate sales representative, and so the sellers would not be paying a co-operating commission. In fact, the discount in price was much more than what the co-operating commission would have been had it been paid. I agree that I worked with your lawyer in drafting the forms. However, it was not because I did not know how to complete the forms. Once I initially drafted the offer and sent it to your lawyer, he suggested that we add additional clauses to schedule A of the agreement for your (buyer’s) protection. These conditions are optional and vary from agreement to agreement. It all depends on what sort of clauses the buyer would like to add. This does not mean I did not know how to complete the forms. Once the offer was finalized, I sent it to your son, who was the actual buyer (this was known to me from the beginning, I am not implying it was a surprise). I received the signed offer at approximately 3:35 pm. There was approximately 26.5 hours left for me to present it to the seller and have them sign it. I immediately forwarded the offer to the sellers for their review, who forwarded it to their lawyer for review. It does take time for the lawyer to review and discuss with the sellers. After the sellers discussed the offer with their lawyers, one of the sellers decided they were no longer interested in selling the unit. I contacted your son immediately after I found out, and informed him of it. This was at approximately 12:54 pm. Given the limited time between when the signed offer was received from your son, and when the offer was irrevocable until, it did end up being that it was only 5 hours before the expiry time of the offer. But this again was due to the limited time available. The condo unit was not sold to any other party. We are still the current owners, and have since removed our ad. It is important to point out that when any property is listed for sale, until an offer is accepted and firm, the ad/listing is not removed, as the property is not actually sold yet. Therefore, by me not removing the ad while we working on the offer does not mean that I was greedy and seeking other buyers willing to offer a higher price. Matter of fact, I did disclose to you that I received calls from other real estate sales representatives offering $15,000 more than what you were offering; but because I was already working with you on an offer, I turned those offers down. As a seller with interest in the property, I did not have to do that. If my brother and I were greedy, we would have gone for the other offer since your offer was not actually received or accepted yet. I believe this speaks to my integrity, honesty and openness during the transaction. Also, I would like to reiterate, that your offer was never signed and accepted by the sellers; therefore, we as sellers did not back out from an agreement, because an offer was never accepted. Furthermore, because an offer was not accepted by the seller, the brokerage nor me asked you to pay the $1,500 fee for the preparation of the forms. I believe the above explanation is a more detailed and unbiased version of our interaction. From the perspective of a real estate sales representative, my service was never dishonest. It was unfortunate that one of the sellers decided the he no longer wanted to seller the unit. But this was not my fault as a sales representative, and should not be reflected negatively on the service I provide. I wish you and your son luck in finding the right home. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. - Sohel Ingar Reply:    That’s pretty rich of you to state our offer was not accepted when we went through almost three weeks of back and forth with our lawyer and yourself. You completed a schedule incorrectly and our lawyer had to amend it a few times. Your math was incorrect with figures mixed up on lines so they didn’t read correctly. As well, you keep saying the ‘sellers refused our offer” implying the sellers are a separate entity from yourself. You are the seller. You agreed to the price offered by telephoning me to settle on a sale price in between what we were willing to pay vs what you were willing to sell for. At no time did you imply the ‘other seller was not interested in selling’. That is why we went through the expense of a lawyer. That is why we removed funds from investments. Finally, that is why we turned down two other properties of high interest. So please do not insult my intelligence by fabricating a variance to what actually happened. You backed out and informed us with under 6 hours remaining in the written offer. Either way, you have tainted our experience with assignments while verifying what we felt all along. Your kind cannot be trusted.
