The JD Team | JD Realty
When Life at Home is Good,
The World Beyond is Better.

Realign Your Lifestyle: Buy & Sell

Recognizing the need for a lifestyle adjustment can be unmistakable to some, yet unclear for others.

There are so many overwhelming factors that can potentially add pressure to your decision, including:

  • Sentimental attachment to your current home
  • Skepticism about the housing market or your financial capability
  • Difficulty making life-changing decisions
  • Unclear vision about your next purchase

We completely understand.

You require the preparation of Realtors who possess sufficient experience, the professionalism that will maintain your level of confidence, and most of all, the patience to see you through this process at your pace.

Regardless of if you’re considering:

  • Downsizing to simplify your surroundings and extract some equity
  • Upgrading to a larger living space to accommodate your growing needs
  • Shifting away from an area that no longer meets your satisfaction
  • Moving into a neighbourhood where you can envision a better life

JD Team is here to discuss your needs, desires and reservations.

Find Your 1st Home

Home ownership is your chance to finally make the best version of yourself a reality – your expression, your ambience, your lifestyle.

Searching for a home, especially your first one, can be off-the-charts exciting, but this journey doesn’t come without its challenges. Your budget has its limits and knowing where and what to start looking for may be intimidating.

Count on us to inform you, guide you in the right direction and work tirelessly to ensure that you find your dream home.

Some key incentives to consider as a first-time homebuyer include:

  • Land Transfer Tax Refund – receive a maximum refund of $4,000 in Ontario and an additional $4,475 in Toronto
  • First-Time Homebuyer Incentive – the Government of Canada will contribute up to 5-10% of your down payment through a shared equity mortgage
  • RRSP Home Buyers’ Plan – Temporarily withdraw up to $35,000 tax-free from your RRSP to contribute towards the purchase of your first home.
  • Tax-Free First Home Savings Account – Save up to $40,000 tax-free to be used towards the purchase of your first home.
  • First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit – Claim a tax credit of up to $1,500 on the purchase of your first home.

Naturally, you may have a lot of questions. JD Team has the answers.

Help Your Parents Move

Much of our parents’ lives are spent ensuring that our living conditions are as comfortable as possible – there comes a time where they may require the same support.

Helping facilitate what could be the final move in a person’s life is a process that should be prioritized so that it yields the best possible result and adds to the quality of their life for years to come.

Alternatively, you may find yourself needing to sell the home once lived in by a deceased parent.

In either case this can be a difficult task for many reasons:

  • Anxiety about change
  • Attachment to the sentimental memories of a home
  • Wanting to ensure an amicable process with siblings and other family members
  • Fear that you won’t have the time in your busy life to properly to administrate this process

We understand the complexity of this responsibility.

You can lean on JD Team to:

  • Develop a strategy that is as least disruptive as possible to your parents’ lives
  • Empathize with any unique needs or extenuating circumstances and find the best ways to accommodate them
  • Respect your time and level of involvement that your life allows you to commit to this transaction

Our consideration for the dynamics surrounding the sale of a parent’s home extends well beyond the physical property.

Invest in Pre-Construction

Pre-Construction projects are exclusive opportunities for those who seek the ultimate living or investment endeavor.

Demand to develop new housing in the GTA remains high. As a result, this city offers a constant stream of the most fashionable and cutting-edge new homes that the world has to offer.

New developments provide end users with the unique ability to curate several details about one’s dream home, including:

  • Interior finishes such as cabinet, tile and floor styles
  • Number of beds, bathrooms and dens
  • Floor plan layouts
  • Floor height, view and balcony size
  • Single or multi-directional exposure (corner units)
  • Number of parking spots and separate locker storage

Oftentimes, by the time a preconstruction condo is built, it’s worth significantly more than the price initially agreed to with the builder several years before. This offers savvy investors the potential to make a sizable return on their investment, before ever taking ownership or making the first mortgage payment.

Our expertise in the following areas will help keep your investment safe and ensure your vision becomes a reality:

  • Recommending reputable developers
  • Envisioning a floorplan in reality and aligning it with your specific needs
  • Gaining access to the lowest prices in the most sought-after projects
  • Understanding of the structure and regulations of a condo corporation
  • Knowledge of reasonable maintenance fees, deposit structures, expected closing costs, tax implications and assignment privileges

To say that there is a lot involved with the purchase of a pre-construction home would be an understatement.

Let us break it down into small steps and guide you along the way.

Live in a Condo

Condo owners are afforded the opportunity of living with less responsibility to maintain their home, all while enjoying the luxuries of swimming pools, gyms, entertainment areas and more at their doorstep.

The abundance of condos constructed over the last several years allows prospective buyers to tailor their purchase to their lifestyle.

Buyers can now:

  • Appreciate a good view from any height
  • Face a certain direction based on preferences for light
  • Find the square footage that is conducive to their needs
  • Live centrally – close to transit, grocery stores and interesting places to explore by foot

Underused property and vacant land are increasingly being redeveloped to support a condo lifestyle in just about every corner of Toronto and the GTA.

The thought of condo living may have you asking yourself several questions:

  • Will I be able to live the same way I’m used to in a traditional home?
  • Will monthly maintenance fees cost me more than or less than maintaining a freehold property?
  • Are there any rules or restrictions in a condo that would impact my lifestyle?

Helping you answer these questions and put condo living into perspective is JD Team’s first priority.

Investment & Rental Property

Owning real estate is one of the few things that has the potential to increase in value quicker than you can save with an average salary in the GTA.

What other investment allows you to enjoy its benefits in it while you accrue equity?

Alternatively, you may elect to rent a property out so that it covers ongoing expenses while it appreciates over the years.

If your motivation is purely financial, we’ll assist you in answering several key questions including:

  • Home Type & Neighbourhood Which will give me the best return on my investment?
  • Property MaintenanceDo I want to be more hands on or less involved?
  • Timeline – How much time am I willing to hold onto this investment before I decide to sell it for a profit?
  • Market Forecast – How will the economy and current market trajectory affect my property value?

By electing to purchase an investment property with the help of JD Team, we’ll take care of finding suitable tenants, commission free*.

*Although JD Team will not accept commission – all brokerage administrative fees and commission to other agents involved are still payable.

JD Realty helped us find a great new place for our growing family. Daniele and Josh found a real hidden gem that wasn’t coming up in our own searches. They also discouraged us from overbidding and so we feel like we got great deal even in a challenging market. We were very happy with our experience.

It’ll be two years since the JD team helped me find my perfect first home! I honestly couldn’t have done it without them. They were beyond helpful and always looking out for me and my home needs. I live in the Niagara region and both Daniele and Josh were flexible with their hours and ensured that I was going to get the house I wanted. They were with me every step of the way, I couldn’t imagine making such a big commitment with anyone else. Their knowledge, patience, expertise and work ethic are impeccable. I recommend them to anyone and I will definitely be using them in the future.

The JD team took care of our Real Estate needs perfectly.Their dedication and commitment to our sale was second to none. The whole process was seamless and they even took care of a minor overlooked issue on my part without hesitation. When the sale was finalized we walked away with an over asking settlement, and the whole process only lasted about two weeks.Couldn’t ask for any more.

Words cannot express how grateful my husband and I are to have gone through this process with Josh and Daniele. Selling and purchasing a home can be stressful but not with the help of these two. They went above and beyond to ensure this was a smooth process while getting us into our dream home. They were available at any time to answer questions and concerns. Anytime we felt nervous or worried we knew we could trust our realtors to make sure everything was okay. If you have ever moved before, you know that a helpful realtor makes all the difference and I promise you these two will not disappoint. Thank you x 1000 to the JD team. My husband and I could not be any happier in our new home and we owe it all to you.

Everyone knows a realtor - your cousin, your neighbour, your friend from middle school - but trust me… You NEED these two.Daniele and Josh helped my husband and me sell a condo and buy our first family home. To put it simply, I can not praise the skills and professionalism that these two demonstrated throughout this process enough. My husband and I were nervous about making such big decisions but through the entire process Daniele and Josh stood out as patient and knowledgeable. We had a million questions, concerns, and not to mention shifting criteria — and they both handled responses like it was our first request.Three things stood out to me:In selling the condo, I was nervous about having people come through during the height of Covid - and Josh and Daniele helped us set reasonable limits and strategies. We felt in control of the scenario and that our lives were not turned upside down due to random showings. It really helped that Josh and Daniele had terrific suggestions for staging the condo early on, and our photos stood out.Secondly, going to showings was really lovely with these two. They had a good eye for critical details that we would have otherwise missed. I also appreciated that in the heat of a hot market when properties were selling the day they were listed Josh and Daniele were available for us. It struck me, especially at this moment, that having a team of experts ensured that we always felt like a priority.Lastly, when we were ready to make offers on our new property they helped us understand the process. It was like having expert coaches. At critical moments their calm and reasonable feedback helped us make the right decision. They echoed our goals to keep us focused and gave opinions that turned out to be invaluable. Even after the paperwork was signed Josh and Daniele have been so supportive. They celebrated with us and shared in our excitement.If you are looking to sell or make a purchase, Josh and Daniele are the experts you need.
