A real estate agent of five years and counting, I’ve spent two decades in sales, marketing, and client success roles. Real estate’s been a great opportunity to leverage my sales experience and joy of working with people into a one-on-one, personal relationship, where I can truly impact the lives of my clients in a positive way. I’m known for being exceptionally analytical, and uniquely positioning this skill in a positive and effective way to help my clients achieve their goals. I truly believe buying and selling a home is a collaborative process, and my goal is to make our time together as positive and rewarding as possible. 

I’ve lived in the Thornhill area almost my entire life, and I’m happy to be here now with my wife, four daughters, and our puppy, Bruce Springsteen. A great place to raise a family, there’s no limits on what we can enjoy here, from Mill Pond Park, to Canada’s Wonderland, to some of the best Italian, Asian, and Middle Eastern restaurants in Ontario. My wife was born in London, England, and we hope to continue our European travels soon, and experience the amazing food and culture that different cities have to offer.

Adam Bernatt

As an MBA grad with a background in technical recruiting, I started my career in real estate after working with a developer. I fell in love with the process and found fulfillment in helping my clients make one of life’s most crucial decisions. I’ve been a landlord, managed major renovations, worked with international buyers, and represented developers on pre-construction deals - add my keen eye for design, and I’ve pretty much done it all! When working with me, my clients can count on confidence and trust; since real estate isn’t merely a financial decision, I ask the right questions to help them feel empowered to make the best decision.

I currently live in Whitby with my wife and two young daughters; it’s a great place to raise kids and lead the active, family-orientated lifestyle that’s important to us. If I’m not working on an interior design project around the house, I’m reading or watching a show while on my stationary bike. I love riding - if I could somehow manage to take everyone I loved with me, I’d move to Copenhagen for the city’s beautiful design, food, and bike-centric culture!

Dan Chan

I bring a tremendous amount of experience in both real estate and mortgage financing to my clients. I specialize in luxury and commercial real estate, and for years have helped families, investors, and builders buy and sell properties. While my favourite part about my job is making sure people are happy with their decision, I like to think that success is a shared process enhanced by building strong relationships that emphasize fairness and knowledge - and knowledge is particularly something I aim to provide. I ensure every client is provided with relevant data, detailed marketing campaigns, and the very best customer service so they achieve a high return on their investments. My tagline is ‘Real estate well contemplated’!

I married my university sweetheart, Lynn, and together we’ve traveled and built a family together; our biggest source of joy is our son, Holden. Call us Canadian stereotypes, but the three of us are also hockey nuts. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing hockey (go figure!), golf, tennis, and biking, and at least once a year I try to catch some waves in Maui. Beyond purely physical activities, I’m currently completing graduate school at the University of Illinois, which has been a fantastic experience - I love learning new things and expanding my knowledge!

My two favourite features are my home theatre room and home office; I also love our outdoor firepit and hot tub.

As a full-time realtor in Hamilton and the GTA for almost 10 years, I’ve always loved collaborating with clients on their goals while bringing a highly personalized approach to each transaction. Whether it’s working with a first-time buyer or helping a family transition to their “forever home”, my experience has shown me the importance of truly listening and being present for my clients. There is nothing more rewarding than taking into account all of a client’s must-haves, presenting them with a combination of the best options, and ultimately turning their dream into reality. I care about my clients, look after their best interests, and have found that success is the product of flexibility, creativity and resourcefulness.   

After years of living in Halifax and Toronto I currently live in the Corktown area of my hometown Hamilton with my Wife and newborn son. When not at work you can find me spending time at the cottage, golfing, and running on the Bruce Trail.

Ian Court

I originally spent time in the clothing wholesale industry, selling clothing lines to retail stores on behalf of the manufacturers. In that line of business, relationship building is crucial, and it’s that element that I carry over to my real estate career. In real estate, I love that I get to expertly negotiate, and have diverse days, weeks, and months. I get to meet great people and explore my community. Many of my clients say that I’m low pressure, and they feel that I approach the buying and selling process with the care that I’d have if I were buying and selling my own home. This makes my clients feel very comfortable working with me, since I have their interests at heart.

The Caribbean is my favourite vacation destination, but I also love spending time on Lake Kalamalka in Vernon, British Columbia. Living in B.C. allows me lots of outdoor time – I love the fact that we have three ski hills in our backyard, along with the ocean and beaches for summertime activities. I take my three kids snowboarding in the winter and wake surfing in the summer, and also enjoy kickboxing and weightlifting for stress relief.

I've always had an interest in housing. It started when I was a boy delivering the North Shore News and the Real Estate Weekly newspapers - I would read through the real estate sections, mostly in awe of just how big and opulent homes could be. As I grew up, I became less interested in how grand they could be, and more interested in what made each one special. Castles come in all shapes and sizes, and I never pressure my clients to buy something they aren't comfortable with. This creates space to further grow and better understand the client's needs, and makes it possible to know and uncover questions they didn't know they had. Years of experience and surrounding myself with the best in the business makes it possible to always find the right answers.

I've lived on the North Shore my entire life. I enjoy travelling, but crossing Lion's Gate Bridge with the lions in the background and the ocean beneath is a feeling that anyone who knows where home is can relate to. I spend a great deal of my time driving; when I'm not supporting clients, I'm shuttling my kids around to the ski hills or driving to launch my kayak. And when I can finally hang up my car keys, the cycling trails are just outside my front door. I’m fortunate to have family around every corner, and we all truly love the great outdoors!

As my kids get older, I find myself wanting to create a home environment that fosters a "want to be at dad's" vibe. Future plans for my home would include a pool, home gym, maybe a games room? Whatever it takes to keep 'em close!

Jacob Strigan

Before getting into real estate, I actually bought, renovated, and sold my own properties. It was through that experience that I realized I loved the search, the negotiations, and the listing process, and I wanted to make a career helping people reach their real estate goals. During that time, I worked in the casino gaming industry. The sales and customer management experience gained there is a huge asset to me in the real estate industry; learning to read people, standing strong for my clients, and enjoying the moments. Outside of strictly buying and selling, I also love studying interior design, and am constantly analyzing what to do to maximize the look and feel of all kinds of spaces. I'm also married to an electrician, and like to think I've absorbed some of his knowledge through osmosis!

Although I've lived in cities around North America - Winnipeg, Kingston, Las Vegas, and Calgary, to name a few - King City is exactly where I want to be right now! I love the proximity to such a huge variety of outdoor activities: from multi-day backcountry hikes to playing just about any team sport, I’m all about that fresh air. My husband and I also love driving to check out cool coffee shops in different northern towns on the weekends.

My passions are houses and people - when combined, it’s perfection! I love using my background in sales and marketing (for horses actually, not houses!) to help people find the right area for them, and then negotiate to get them into their dream home. I can’t get enough of seeing a client's face light up when they see their perfect home for the first time and imagine their future in it. I get there by always establishing a connection built on trust, integrity, and a positive attitude. That connection really creates a strong client/agent relationship that’s tough to beat!

I live in an amazing area with my husband, our two small children, and our dog, Winter. Whether it’s watching the surf on the beach, catching some live music at one of the many excellent restaurants, strolling through the forest paths, or enjoying a walk down the pier, there’s really so much for us to do here! I love where I live for the people, for its sheer beauty, and for maintaining a real sense of community. And while I wouldn’t live anywhere else, I’m still ALWAYS planning my next travel adventure - although, if a country home in the south of France was a realistic choice, I might have to eventually stay put!

Krista Hebert

My parents taught me the key to any successful relationship is honesty and clear communication – principles that guide me every day both personally and professionally.

I have extensive knowledge in multiple real estate markets including The North Shore, downtown Vancouver, East and West Vancouver, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, Surrey, Tsawwassen and Squamish. Whether you’re looking for a first home or an investment property I’m confident to be able to work with you in finding the perfect property.

A fast-paced industry with large transaction values, real estate can be stressful for both Buyers and Sellers. A calm demeanor combined with strong negotiation and effective communication skills are just a few of my strengths.

I’m very organized, detail oriented, and committed to building strong relationships. I love working with my clients, walking them step-by-step from start to finish – demonstrating patience, understanding and a willingness to go the extra mile at every turn.

I’m driven by a simple but powerful motto – be respectful, be responsive, and always deliver on your commitments.

Oh and if you ever need help with your golf game or a fourth, give me a call.

When I was growing up, I saw my parents struggle to buy their first home. The issue? Their agent did a poor job guiding them through the process, giving them incorrect information and leaving them confused and misinformed. As I got older and started my career in sales, real estate was always on my mind. Learning from my parent’s history, I take care to provide an exceptional experience for my clients, making the process exciting and enjoyable, and always ensuring they feel informed every step of the way. It’s a privilege to share my insights and knowledge to help guide my clients through the buying and selling process.

A fan of tropical climates, if Toronto’s beaches were filled with white sand, and Lake Ontario was crystal clear, I’d be in heaven! As it is, I love this city and its proximity to nature. I call Markham home, and always appreciate the great running and biking trails, as well as the nearby golf courses. Coming from a tech sales and manufacturing background, I consider myself part advisor, and part guide, walking my clients through every aspect of the transaction so there’s no surprises.

Michael Lue

A real estate agent with almost three decades of experience, I bring a level of personal service to every client relationship, always putting my client’s needs first. While real estate is full of ups and downs, there’s nothing like helping families find a place to call home. Beyond my established skills as a top agent, my background in theatre helps me wow any audience that’s viewing your home!

Calling Woodbridge home, my wife, Gina, and I love exploring our neighbourhood, especially the best cannoli spots the GTA has to offer, like Zafferano Ristorante. A trained thespian, I enjoy dedicating my free time to local theatre, having performed in several plays, musicals, and even an opera!

Nat Grillo

I feel most passionate about helping my clients get to a stage of life where they have less stress and live a little more worry-free. Buying and selling can be stressful, and I pride myself on creating an easy-going, accessible approach to real estate that helps remove as much of the worry as possible. One of the ways I do this is by ensuring I’m available 24 hours a day - I work on your schedule, and being efficient is important to me! I also specialize in helping my clients secure hard-to-find pre-construction units thanks to some valuable connections. Whatever you need, I’m here for you!

Before my real estate career, I was originally a high school science and physical education teacher, and also ran several athletic gyms. Health and home are two of the most important things to me, so it felt natural to expand into real estate, and I’ve loved it ever since! I keep busy taking my two dogs to Riverdale Park nearby to race around, although they’re starting to be outpaced by my two amazing nephews, who easily keep them on their toes. Outside of keeping fit, I’ve just started learning the piano and how to speak Spanish - always working on something new! 

I love swimming pools and hot tubs, and would consider a waterslide from my bedroom to the pool a bonus!

Nathan Mason

Before real estate, I worked in both the film and tech industries in sales and marketing capacities, but it wasn’t until I started investing in real estate that I felt drawn to help families achieve their dreams of owning a home. I love being part of my clients’ journey of purchasing or selling their home - it’s kind of magical to be part of such a special and important decision in people’s lives! My clients recognize my professionalism, my strong work ethic, and that I’m an expert in negotiation and analytics. I truly care about my clients, and always work hard for them and put their needs first!

I live with my husband and two fur babies (chihuahuas!). We love our area and spend a lot of time hiking in the nearby parks, as well as visiting some of the many fantastic breweries, wineries, local shops, and eclectic restaurants. I also love travelling! If I could live anywhere, I’d live in Vegas, right beside the strip, in order to take advantage of its amazing hiking trails, eateries, thriving arts scene, and great thrift shopping. 

I’d love to live in a smart home completely run by artificial intelligence, plus a robot to keep the house clean. Oh, and a pool!

Niti Nielsen

There’s nothing like making that congratulatory call to let my clients know they bought/sold their home. After all, home is special, and I’m proud and grateful to be a part of that process for my clients. I’m especially proud to work with clients who perhaps didn’t originally call Canada home - with my strong grasp of languages, I’m able to communicate in many Latin-based languages, which many of my clients appreciate. As a former communications specialist, I pull on these skills to some degree with every transaction I’m involved in. I thrive as being the conflict-resolution guy, bringing two sides with completely different viewpoints into one agreement. Overall, my clients trust me, and know they can always count on me for respect, integrity, service, and excellence.

A major soccer fan, I enjoy watching my two sons play, and hope that I’ve taught them a thing or two myself (although they’ve more likely picked up their skills from watching every TFC game with me at BMO Field). Although I love living in Woodbridge, with its easy access to both the city and cottage country, if I could live anywhere in the world, I’d choose two places: Manhattan Beach (California), and Portugal: I need ocean breezes to survive, doctor’s orders!

A helicopter pad. I tell my clients that I'm seven minutes away from anywhere; if I had a helicopter, I could shave off another two minutes.

Rui M. Estevao

As a full time realtor in the lower mainland since 2003, I’ve always liked to help others solve problems and work through complex situations - it’s why I got into real estate. My previous work experience (sales and consulting for tech companies, home construction) has shown me that the most important thing is to truly listen and be present for my clients, no matter the industry. Word on the street - and I visit a lot of different streets! - is that I’m trustworthy and honest, a calming influence in stressful situations, a capable problem solver and savvy negotiator. In my own words, I care about my clients and look after their best interests, and their feedback is everything to me.

I’ve lived throughout the lower mainland since 1999 and reside in the Tri-Cities area with my wife and 2 kids. I love the proximity to the nearby lakes, trails, and oceanfront parks, plus the sports and recreation facilities in the area are exceptional. A variety of local breweries, food trucks, and restaurants also offer a wonderful bonus to the area. I love to hike, paddleboard, play soccer or tennis, and hit the slopes! I’m down-to-earth, informative, and my motto is balancing keeping it fun with getting it done.

I'm easy and don't really require anything super fancy these days. But name it and I'd probably be ok with it!
