Realosophy Realty Inc. Brokerage

My wife and I started looking for homes in summer of last year. The moment we started working with Anastasia and Maria, we knew we were dealing with very professional, knowledgeable, and personable people. They have provided us with an unforgettable home buying experience and have been with us every step of the way, from the moment of our first consultation all the way to closing and beyond. They are very flexible/accommodating with their schedules. With each viewing, both Anastasia and Maria placed themselves in our shoes. They always tried to see things from our point of view. They also provided a lot of property guidance -- from the overall property/neighbourhood (value of the home in comparison to other properties) all the way to the details such as the condition of windows, appliances, plumbing, etc. Their attention to detail was truly beyond compare.We cannot recommend them enough and would be more than happy to work with them again in the future.

We honestly can’t say enough good things about Realosophy. When we moved to Toronto 12 years ago John’s data driven approach and infinite patience proved invaluable to us as newcomers searching for not only our new house but our new country - in a matter of weeks we saw tons of properties and whittled it down to a few - all of which were fabulous for our specific needs and our final choice turned out to be spot on.Now, 12 years later, as we our kids are grown and our needs have changed, we knew we could rely on Realosophy to find our next place in the city and sell our former place. Having both John and Vivien involved proved invaluable and so helpful! They took the time to understand our needs and worked tirelessly to make the best of both sides of the transaction. We were very happy with our sale and new purchase - we couldn’t have done it as well without the team at Realosophy - really - they were awesome!!!If you’re moving to Toronto and want a data driven and professional realtor - OR if you’re thinking of changing your current location within Toronto - we highly recommend these guys. You will be very well served!!!

Vivien has been an instrumental piece in our first-time renting journey. Not only did she assisted us in purchasing our house in Ajax but also a year after we were able to rent it out to great people!Vivien always goes above and beyond to maintain her clients satisfaction! She’s dedicated and well organized. Her attention to details and her quick response times have made our experience very pleasant and smooth. We will definitely be recommending Vivien for her professional services to others!Thanks Vivien for all you’ve done for us! You’re definitely our go-to person for anything real estate related!

I had a fantastic experience working with Vivien Wong! As a first time home buyer, I had a ton of questions and concerns and some mild anxiety - Viven was kind, patient, honest, and provided me data-driven feedback. She was knowledgeable and had great industry contacts and never pressured me into making a decision. I've been recommending Realosophy to my family and friends ever since, and would definitely not hesitate to reach out to Vivien again for future home purchases/sales.

From our first meeting to the closing of our house, Vivien demonstrated a high level of professionalism, enthusiasm, and knowledge. She was a great guide to the challenging Toronto real estate market, something we greatly appreciated as first time home buyers. There were times when we were picky or had unrealistic expectations, but Vivien was patient and worked with us to figure out what was important for us.Vivien always went above and beyond throughout the offer process. She would put a 150% effort into due diligence and was quick to flag any areas of concern. Her industry contacts were invaluable to understanding as much as possible about a property prior to submitting an offer. She was proactive in communicating with the selling agents and keeping us in the loop throughout the process. It was clear that she was motivated by what was best for us.We worked with Realosophy because of their data-driven approach to the market. The Realosophy Pro site was helpful for us to focus our search and determine what we were looking for.

I had an excellent experience working with Vivien Wong to purchase my first home. Vivien was attentive, transparent and honest. Her expertise in real estate and home ownership proved invaluable when searching for a place that met my needs.Apart from having the real estate knowledge for the process of selling and buying houses, I appreciated Vivien's eye for detail during house viewings. We noticed deficiencies in renovations, potential future repairs, and layout and design considerations. Many of these items I didn't think to take note of initially, but are things that would affect my experience living in a home. I was more knowledgeable about homes with Vivien's insight and honest opinions.As a buyer looking for a home in a tight seller's market, it was helpful to keep on top of the pace of the market and figure out the right strategy for offering. After a few unsuccessful attempts to buy a house on heated offer nights, we eventually decided on a strategy to put in a bully offer for a townhouse on the first day of listing, well in advance of the scheduled offer date. There was not much chance for any other buyers to make an offer. I was able to buy the home without competition and for a great price with no appraisal issues. Through the buying process, I learned how important it was to have an agent who gives good direction on pricing and keeps us grounded through the blind bidding process.Vivien proved to be a wonderful agent in all regards and I have and will continue to recommend her to any peers who seek to buy or sell in the area.

My partner and I worked with Vivien Wong for during our home buying process. We are very happy to have worked with Vivien. She was able to find a place that had all of our wish list items. Vivien took the time to understand what was important to us in our future home. She went well beyond just the simple questionnaires most other agents we spoke to used for new buyer intake, and really understood what we wanted. All of the homes we visited during our market education tour where places we that fit our wants and needs. We actually saw the home we purchased on that our very first market education tour! By that point we had had many conference calls and emails with Vivien looking at listings and neighbourhoods online, so our tour was very finely tuned to what we liked.Vivien guided us through our buying process: from working with a mortgage broker, to recommending a lawyer, home inspector, and after home purchase electricians and contractors. For first time home buyers she made the process as seamless and painless as I think it could have been.I would strongly recommend anyone reading this to reach out to Vivien. If we move again in the future I will most certainly work with Vivien for our next home purchase.

I am writing this from my new home, and that wouldn't be possible without Vivien Wong, from Realosophy.Vivien came highly recommended, and she lived up to the expectation. She is wonderful, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and will do her all to get her clients the best deal possible. Plus, as first-time homebuyers, we had tons of questions, and Vivien answered all of them AND all the questions we didn't know we should be asking.From our first meeting to well beyond the closing date, she was always available to help us. Buying property in any market is an emotional experience, and you want the right person to guide you through the process, that person is Vivien.

My husband and I were first time home buyers and started looking for houses last fall. Vivien helped guide us every step of the way, starting with a market education tour. This helped us to understand what properties we could expect to bid on, based on our budget. Vivien was very attentive, modifying our search criteria as needed. She was very responsive throughout the entire process, in spite of a pandemic! Vivien was also very thorough in her research and helped guide us in making an offer. We were consistently in the final rounds of consideration with Vivien's help. For us, staying within our budget was important and Vivien did not try to push us beyond what we were comfortable with. I would definitely recommend Vivien and would work with her again.

My father and I worked with Gus from Realosophy to sell my dad's condo as he moved into a retirement community. I can honestly say we're both very happy with the way Gus supported us through the process. We listed at a tumultous time in the real estate market, but Gus kept us calm and laid out all our options and we were eventually fortuntate to find the right buyer at the right price for that time. I would enthusiastically recommend Realosophy and Gus in particular to anyone searching for an agent who listens and is honest and direct and doesn't just parrot back what you think you might want to hear.
