Selling

READY TO MOVE
UP OR DOWN?

Is your current home starting to feel a little cramped, or maybe it is just not the right fit anymore? Perhaps the neighbourhood worked well before, but your needs are different now.

Whether you are looking to upsize for more space or downsize for a simpler lifestyle, there are plenty of good reasons to make a change. It is part of life.

Together, we will map out your next chapter and the best path to get there. Should you sell first or buy first? We will look at the market, weigh your options and choose the approach that makes the most sense for you.

When it comes to pricing, I am a thinker. I study recent sales and the current competition, and we talk it through together before we decide. While you plan your next move, I will help get your home market-ready, focusing on simple changes that make a strong first impression, like a fresh coat of paint and some thoughtful decluttering. When it helps, I can also suggest a trusted stager.

DOWNSIZING WITH EASE

Downsizing takes time and care. What do you keep? What do you let go? And how do you even start on the packing and sorting?

I have downsized more than once myself, so I know how big this feels, and you do not have to do it alone. I build a clear, step-by-step plan with a little breathing room, and I can connect you with trusted help for organizing, donating, staging and the move itself, whatever level of support you need.

I like to think of it as rightsizing: finding a home that fits the life you have now. Once we understand your new priorities, I can help you find the right fit for your next home, whether that is a condo, a smaller house or something in between.

Jennifer Courteau

“We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Pennie to guide our son through the purchase of his first property. She was thoughtful and objective, never pressured him, and was incredibly thorough, even catching an error made by one of the lawyers. Her care didn’t end when the sale closed. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a realtor who truly puts her clients first.”

Kate & Vini

“When we moved to Toronto last year, we had a really bad experience with our previous real estate agent. You listened to our needs and, through your expertise and active listening, led us to an area we were not even thinking about. We could not be happier with our decision! Thank you Pennie, you have made our move smooth and our overall real estate experience in Toronto a lot better than before.”

Helja Teras

“Kaija and Pennie, you have been amazing. We sing your praises! Super happy to give you our very highest recommendation.”

“I wanted to share my strong recommendation for Pennie as a real estate agent. She was truly fantastic to work with throughout the entire process.

Pennie is exceptional at listening to her clients’ wants and needs, ensuring she provides the best available options on the market. She also went above and beyond by helping me visualize my future living space. Her suggestions for layout, furniture options, and creative ideas on maximizing the space were invaluable. I would strongly recommend working with her for any future real estate moves.”

C&T

“Thank you so much for persevering to find us the right home that checked all of our boxes. You have been excellent to work with showing top notch professionalism throughout the entire process. We appreciate all the time, effort and energy you spent. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you.”

LG

“It has been a pleasure to work with Pennie over the years. Pennie assisted me in purchasing a condo unit in a great location and later on she helped me in finding a good tenant for this unit. Pennie has been there every step of the way and she has always answered my calls and emails with a high level of courtesy and professionalism. Pennie’s in-depth knowledge, outstanding work ethics and expertise assisted me in making the best decisions.”

Jim and Kaitlin Eckler

“Thank you so much for the professionalism, business sense and sensitivity you brought to our real estate transaction. Both of us felt that we absolutely made the right choice in working with you. You are the most client focused agent we have ever attempted to work with–you listen, you follow through and you deliver. Thank you again and until our next project!”

MG

“It was such a pleasure to work with Pennie on the purchase of my first home. She responded quickly and attentively to all of my questions and concerns. Her attention to detail and expertise on condos took all of the stress out of the process for me. I am now settled in my new home and couldn’t be happier.”

Kevin

“I had a very good experience working with Pennie. She worked hard to initially understand what product I was looking for. She screened available properties and showed me only properties that met my criteria. As a busy professional I appreciated these efforts as my time was used effectively. Once the perfect property was found she worked their magic again to help me get a good price. She always encouraged me to work within my budget. Since the sale she has been excellent in arranging visits for measurements and even finding out what type of floor was put in my unit by the original builder. Pennie will listen to and work closely with you and will go above and beyond.”

Becky Loucks

“Pennie provided us with excellent advice and service in a very professional, yet friendly and supportive manner. We were very pleased.”

LK

“Pennie is the consummate professional. She was prepared with facts and analysis. She had answers to questions I had not yet asked. She was able to give us sage advice rather than strong forceful opinions. Combined, she inspired a great sense of confidence during a tumultuous time. Highly recommend.”

Lesley Rooney

“The service and personal attention my husband and I received from Pennie Mathers and Helen Braithwaite was exceptional and unexpected from a realtor! They are truly a high-calibre team. Their knowledge of the local market and their key contacts in the community helped us in the search for our dream home. At no point did we feel intimidated or pressured into something. On the contrary, Pennie and Helen made certain that we knew the risks involved in each potential home. After patiently going through listings and explaining tax/bank details with us, they made sure we got the best value purchase for our new home.

Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Pennie and Helen to help you in this life changing move. We could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through the process.”

David and Lynn Bruce

“Having had the pleasure of working with Pennie and Helen in three separate real estate transactions, we would have absolutely no problem in giving them both our highest recommendation to any party. Both their knowledge in their field, their professionalism of being up to date with market prices and trends is quite unique. They are a pleasure to work with.”
