Ontario Real Estate · By Referral or Direct Inquiry

Deals are won before the negotiation. Handled carefully. Pressed at the right moment.

A boutique Ontario real estate practice for clients who need the deal structured correctly, the leverage used well, and the terms held through to closing. Not managed from a distance.

The Practice

Four categories. Deliberately chosen.

I focus on transactions where the difference between a good outcome and a poor one comes down to who prepared the position, read the counterparty correctly, and knew when to move. Structure, timing, counterparty complexity, document risk: these are not just risks to manage. They are leverage points when handled correctly.

If your transaction fits one of the four categories below, I want to hear from you. If it does not, I will say so and point you to someone better suited.

Premium Pre-Construction

From $1M

Curated pre-construction opportunities across Ontario, focused on luxury condos, detached and townhome releases, and premium assignments starting at $1M and up.

The work is more than inventory access. It includes review of builder track record, deposit structure, assignment rights, occupancy-to-final-close economics, and realistic exit liquidity. If a project does not hold up under that review, you will hear it. If it does, you will move into it with a clear position on what the terms should be, and the preparation to hold them.

Investment and Development Property

Land · Multi-Unit · Income · Cottage

Property purchased for investment, development, or income. Infill, severance, and small assemblies. Multi-unit residential. Income-producing properties including short-term rentals. Cottage and recreational with rental or development potential. Larger parcels with acreage.

Pre-acquisition review covering areas such as zoning, servicing, title, conservation overlap, rental regulations, and resale or build-out exposure. That review becomes the basis for offer structure, price position, and the conditions worth insisting on, and those worth trading away.

Businesses Sold With Their Real Estate

From $2M Transaction Value

Owner-operated businesses sold together with the property they occupy. Plazas, gas stations and c-stores, industrial and flex buildings, specialty retail, small hospitality.

Pre-listing or pre-acquisition review covering areas such as lease structure, estoppels, HST treatment, environmental flags, and asset-versus-share mechanics where both apply. Coordinated with counsel, accountants, and valuators you already work with, or introductions where needed. The deal is positioned for the right terms with the structure that holds under scrutiny, on either side of the transaction.

Private Representation

Principals · Executives · Family-Held Assets · Sensitive Transactions

Private buying or selling representation for decision-makers who need control over timing, exposure, and information. Founders, executives, owners of family-held real estate, and clients in sensitive circumstances where the wrong exposure can weaken the transaction.

Private does not mean hidden. It means controlled exposure: the right buyers, the right timing, the right information, and no unnecessary public theatre. Controlled exposure is how you negotiate from strength, not necessity.

How We Work

Six standards.

What every client can expect, and what every transaction is built on.

The deal has to make sense for you.

I will not push a transaction because a commission is available. If the downside is real, you will hear it. But when the deal is right (the structure sound, the terms defensible, the timing correct), I will press it without hesitation. My job is to make sure you know the difference, and that when you move, you move with everything positioned in your favour.

Preparation runs ahead of negotiation.

Every clause read carefully, every likely issue mapped, every counterparty position considered before the call begins. Preparation is not just risk control. It is how leverage gets built. When the moment to press arrives, there is no hesitation, because the position was already constructed. The transaction closes on outcomes, not on whoever blinked last.

Written transaction note before you move.

Every property or business under consideration receives a written note setting out what was reviewed, what appears material, what risks should be discussed, and what questions should go to counsel, financing, tax, or planning professionals before the client proceeds.

The hard parts get handled early.

Assignment terms. Servicing. Estoppels. HST exposure. Conservation overlap. Closing adjustments. Counterparty timing. Found early, these are negotiating points. Found late, they become leverage held by the other side. I find them first, and use them accordingly.

The transaction does not end at signing.

A signed agreement is the midpoint of the work, not the conclusion. Conditions, extensions, deposit treatment, counterparty timing, financing changes, and the small issues that surface between signing and closing all need handling. The period between signing and closing is not administrative. Counterparties still look for advantage, conditions still get tested, and someone needs to be on the file, not just available if called. I stay on the transaction through closing and remain available after, rather than treating signing as the moment when calls go to your lawyer.

A small roster, on purpose.

Eight to ten active transactions at a time. The number is not a marketing line. It is the level at which every client gets the attention the work requires, every document gets read carefully, and every call gets returned the same day. New conversations are welcome in any of the four categories.

If the position is right, I press. If it is not, I say so. If the deal belongs elsewhere, I point you there.

Taran Aujla

Salesperson · HomeLife G1 Realty Inc., Brokerage

I work with Ontario clients on real estate transactions where the details matter. Pre-construction, investment property, small-scale development land, businesses sold with their real estate, and private representation all share one thing: outcomes often turn on what gets noticed early versus what gets discovered late.

The approach is document-first and risk-aware. I read before I recommend. I ask the questions that have to be asked before momentum takes over. I prefer a smaller roster, clearer transactions, and clients who want a straight read rather than constant sales pressure.

When the deal is right and the position is built, I press for the terms. That is what the preparation is for.

I work closely with the client's lawyer, accountant, and other advisors. The real estate moves in step with everything else.

I invest in Ontario real estate and operate in the same market my clients are entering. That does not mean every deal is the right one. It means the downside is part of the conversation before the decision is made, not after.

I do not run weekend open houses. I do not post urgency copy on social media. The roster stays small on purpose, so the work on each transaction stays close.

If we are a fit, I will tell you. If not, I will point you to someone better suited.

For Clarity

What this practice does not do.

A short list. Stated openly so you know what this practice is for and what it is not.

First-time buyer programs.

If you are buying your first home under $1M, I am not the right fit. I will refer you to an agent who is.
Free market valuations as a lead magnet.

Transaction-note work is reserved for clients under engagement.
Residential leasing.

Wrong economics for this practice. I keep a short list of leasing agents I trust.
Showings without preparation.

Property tours work best when the buyer knows the brief, has financing in place or actively underway, and is positioned to act when the right transaction appears. That is the standard for showings under this practice.
Open-house weekends on investor listings.

Serious buyers do not need them. Serious sellers do not want them.

Exceptions may exist for long-standing clients and warm introductions. The list above describes the default.
