+ AGENT PROFILE
Testimonials I first started working with Leor several years ago when I was looking at investment properties. Even though I was one of those clients who had a few false starts with purchasing, Leor was extremely patient and always available to provide valuable advice and insight and made me feel much more confident. Years later when selling the first two investment properties I purchased with my partners, we went right back to Leor for those same qualities. Leor’s advice was invaluable throughout the entire process. My partners and I always appreciated that he was extremely knowledgeable, incredibly responsive (particularly compared to other agents we had worked with), that he gave great advice on, when and how to list, staging, showings and pricing. Not only was Leor’s service top notch, most importantly, Leor got us top dollar for our properties, managing to beat out my partners’ and investor’s expectations. I speak for all of us in saying that Leor is the best agent we have worked with and our top choice for future deals. JOSH WYNN
Leor first started working with us in 2021 during the pandemic, as we were looking for a rental while we were still living in New Jersey. Due to pandemic restrictions, it was not possible for us to come to Toronto to look at places, and Leor became our eyes as he went to showings and led us through virtually. Once we settled on a place, Leor took care of all aspects of the offer process, signing and transfer. He communicated with the landlord and listing agent professionally and effectively to alleviate all our concerns, and helped us navigate the rest of the process while we remained in the states. We had plans to buy a house, and Leor was extremely helpful in setting up the search and showing us around. Ultimately due to the market, we decided to continue to rent when our lease was up. Leor pivoted immediately to meet our needs and found us a new rental. We were probably not the easiest clients, as we had very specific needs, and Leor very cheerfully and professionally accommodated all our requests for showings and making offers to lease. Again, we are in a new place thanks to Leor, and we look forward to working with him when the time comes to find a house to buy. We highly recommend Leor as a friendly, knowledgeable, energetic and professional real estate agent. LISA BONEN

Testimonials We worked with Leor to purchase our beach house. We were the first buyers to walk through the property and successfully negotiated the close of our beach house under the asking price thanks to Leor’s guidance. Leor is professional, knowledgeable and moves quickly. We would happily work with Leor again on future properties. NATALIE LILLICO
We have been working with Leor for many years. Leor is reliable, responsive and always makes himself available even on short notice. He takes the time to really understand what you’re looking for, and does everything he can to help you find it. He is extremely personable and forms strong relationships with other agents that always help to get the deal done smoothly. He is a strong advocate who will ask for what you need while always being professional and courteous. We know we can count on Leor and are so grateful for his help renting multiple apartments over the years and buying our first house. EMILY DEBONO
